Hello all,
Earlier today I installed et_2.60 on another machine here and tried to connect to qaw. I was not able to as it did not have the custom pk3, qaw10p.pk3, in its etpub directory.
I am not sure that this file is needed any longer as it includes the campaign file the server used to run on. I think the server has been updated to run in straight objective mode when railgun and radar were removed from the rotation (or made not to come up as often).
This file was hosted at www.qawclan.com/etpub/, and as that URL is no longer valid, there is no way for any new players to get the pk3 that they need to connect to the server. This means there is no way to download etpub v.81 either. So no new players, at all.
If this file is no longer needed, it needs to be removed from the etpub directory on the server. This will eliminate the need for players to download it.
If this file is still required, it will be to be hosted in another place and the sv_wwwBaseURL cvar updated in server.cfg to point there.
It might be worthwhile for the clan to have a valid http URL where files like this can be hosted, not only for this circumstance but going forward. VPS servers can be had very cheaply these days (>$3 /mo) and may be worth looking into.
Thanks

I appreciate the effort of posting all this. Thank you. Curious to know what others think about it. I see many people everyday connect/disconnect, rinse/repeat. JUst from a first-thought, it seems like new people are able to join still. It seems like I see new names all the time, but I'm not truly sure.

That baseulr has never popped out for me... maybe we just getting too old for this shizznitz (as Snoop would've said, back in the day)... Although I haven't tried many times to install, so... I would say, start fresh...

I doubt it will ever be hosted somewhere for download when connecting ... I would imagine at least for your situation you could just copy that file from the one machine to the new install to get things working.
I guess we could put the file on the forum or something just in case anyone really wants to join and they think to come here and seek help so they can at least manually add the required file.
