INTRODUCTION
Refer to this document for more information about the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory 1.02 Update. This update contains the server-side issues of the previous 1.01 patch as well as several other issues. For more general information, please see the Readme and Help files included with the original game.
INSTALLATION & SET UP ISSUES
1. The update will not install:
============================
You must have a full version of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory installed properly on your system before you will be able to install the update.
2. Issues with installing the patch to the wrong folder:
=========================================================
When installing the 1.02 update, it is possible for you to browse and install to an incorrect folder. It is important that you only install the patch to where you have previously installed Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. If this is not done, you will need to uninstall Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory before you will be able to install the patch again.
1.02 Fixes:
Weapon fixes include moving Land Mines and Adrenaline needles to separate weapon banks. - Made switching to a weapon after dropping dynamite/satchel/landmines easier. - Also added ability for Covert Ops/Engineer to pick up weapons from the opposing team of the same class. - Fixed some issues with Air Strike detonation. - Fixed XP not being given (and stats being kept) for kills with akimbo pistols.
Server side fixes include private slots not working when the server is password-protected, added cvar (g_disableComplaints) to disable complaint system for certain type of kills, 1 = mines, 2 = airstrike/ffe, 4 = mortar (add together for multiple types). - Made it so, for the cvars that require it, any changes to public/competition settings will now do a map restart. - Added a temporary banning system for when players are kicked by vote or from complaints (defaults to 5 mins).
Client-side additions include the ability to show smaller popup messages (such as death messages) with cvar (cg_drawSmallPopupIcons). - Made it easier to give health and ammo to players closer to you (instead of giving it to yourself by accident). - Fixed vid_restarts causing players to be thrown into limbo on pure servers. - Fixed changing game modes causing entities (mounted MGs) to be spawned incorrectly. - Fixed some votes not displaying properly. - Sped up fog rendering code and many other behind-the-scenes fixes!
