ETGiRC - upcoming Public Beta

---

in Misc - posted Saturday, 13 March 2010 by Frozen Sand

As many of you know, IRC is over 25 years old! Yet still a very popular means of communication for clans and gaming communities. We at Urban Terror are no exception.
You can always find us on the EnterTheGame IRC network and also on Quakenet.

ETG is getting ready for the launch of their upcoming Public Beta of ETGiRC somewhere this month! Unfortunately, there will be a limited number of keys available. so you have to keep an eye on it in order not to miss it.


With the introduction of ETGiRC, the future of IRC is going to be bright and full of possibilities once more! "A complete evolutionary leap" is the most accurate description as to what ETGiRC is. It's not just another chat client, some small upgrade/change, or some feature added to IRC. It is a complete shift in IRC, in what we see, in how we use it, in what it offers us, and in how we interact and experience it.

ETGiRC is network independent, with multi-network support for up to 5 connections at a time, custom network configurations, advanced window management system, GAMES, Advanced Game Query System will obtain regional server lists and buddy list, and you can design your chat room/channel's appearance.

But the most important feature of ETGiRC is the introduction of customized chat rooms.

Check out the Urban Terror Theme!

Regarding your Display name

in Website & Forum - posted Saturday, 06 March 2010 by Frozen Sand

Since the launch of the new website, we have had many complaints and requests, as well as many many compliments. Thank you!

One of the most common suggestions we've seen on our forums is to allow for more flexible display naming. This was a surprise for us, because none of the beta testers had expressed this concern. But we love you all, and have decided to listen, a bit.

Name

So now, you can choose how your "Passport ID" is displayed. You can add upper characters, spaces, accents and " .-". The displayed name must match the Passport ID, but you now have more cosmetic options.

Tag

We have added the option to add your clan's tag to your name. Of course, to be able to use a particular tag, you must be a member of that particular group because the group owns the tag. It is simple and secure : you 'wear' the tag of your clan on both the website and the forums, so everybody will know that you are a trusted member of that clan !

Click on your Passport profile, and enjoy !

Thank you for the feedback!! We will continue work on some of your other suggestions!

As many of you have noticed we uploaded a special video to Youtube to entertain you while we were moving to the new website. We hope you enjoyed it!

In this video you can see Tom and Sarah in a dance off. And well there is one clear winner.
In case you missed it, then watch it below:


Credits go to FrankieV who created the animations, wrote the script and edited the video. Also Bladekiller modified ut4_tombs especially for this video.

Welcome to the *ALL NEW* Official Urban Terror Website!

Dear Urban Terror Community, your attention please!
In preparation for the launch of Urban Terror 4.2, we are proud to present the new home of Urban Terror! As you can see, we have had a complete overhaul. So without further ado let us get down to business.


Urban Terror Passport / Single sign-on
From now on, you will have one and the same account for our website and forum. This account is called 'Passport'. In the future, your Passport will also be used for the yet to be released in-game Authentication system.

Existing users:
Your old forum account has been disabled. But do not panic. You can register a UrT Passport with the same nickname here. Afterward, follow the "merge your account" instructions, to get back all your forum posts from the old account.

New Users:
Register your Passport here. This is not yet required to play the game, but it makes sure nobody else claims your nickname and allows you to post on the forums.


You can also register groups, please visit the new areas of the website and you will see all the new website has to offer! Full docs are available if you get stuck.

Credits and Thanks

Special thanks to Kalish, Raider, Kalish's Wife, Frankie_V's cat, Bladekiller's mouse, The UAA, and all others that have helped.

So from all of us at the FrozenSand Web Team, have fun and enjoy the new website!

Heavy Web Overhaul in the books

in Website & Forum - posted Monday, 22 February 2010 by Frozen Sand

You may have noticed that the forum has been in BETA for a while now. Well, in a bit we'll discover it's finished!! Then the inevitable will happen and we'll decide to hit the launch button.

To cut to the chase, it means that at some point in the coming weeks this site will go into Transformer-mode as can be seen in the preview below:


Don't worry, you will notice when it happens as you will be asked to re-register when the overhaul has been completed.

Please make sure to register with the same e-mail address, it makes merging of your 'current' and 'new' account easier.

NB: If you are currently using a hotmail e-mail address, we have to recommend that you change it to something else, like gmail because Hotmail blocks a lot of our registration e-mails.

A peek at the progress of making new player model animations for Urban Terror on UrbanTerrorOfficial. This time with a guest appearance from Laura, Sarah's sister, who happens to have an amazing resemblance to someone we all know and love ;)

Laura will not be available as part of the 4.2 release. She is standing in as a test bench to work on to apply some of the ideas and improvements to the animation system with out messing up the current work being done on the player models that will be included.

As you can see the key poses will be based on which weapon is held. With the aim to give the other players a clearer indication as to what weapon the player is using, as well as a closer tie into the 1st person perspective as to their current action.

This is not the complete animation, but the second pass to tie in the sequences based on a single key pose. The final and third pass will be to frame match as much of the animation as possible so it all flows through the animation smoothly.

Your comments and suggestions will be appreciated!
