 | What is Enemy Territory and what is a clan? |
| Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory is a free multiplayer game developed by Splash Damage and built on the ID's Quake 3 graphic engine. You can freely download Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory here. |
| What does PDP stand for? |
| PDP was formerly standing for "Paperino and Danielle's Possie". Paperino and Danielle are the founders. Danielle left on November, 2006. Almontaine was the second in command, PDP then stood for "Paperino and Daeshana's Possie". (Daeshana being one of Almontaine's nicknames.) Almontaine left on October, 2008. Zombie took her place, so PDP stood for "Paperino and DieZombie's Possie". However, also Zombie left on April, 2010, and now PDP just stands for PDP, it's kinda trademark by now. |
| What are XP and other rating scores? |
| While a player plays the game, he collects skill points by performing some actions, such as killing enemies, building structures, damaging enemy vehicles and so on. XP (eXPerience) is the sum of engineering, covert ops, field ops, medic, light weapons and heavy weapons skill points. In general terms, the more you play the more XP you collect. |
| May I join this clan? |
| No. Well maybe. We have lots members (check our members page), but if you are a very good and nice player, and you respect us and our rules, you might be eligible. Keep in mind, you have to play on our servers regularly, and you have to reach 50,000 XP at least before being eligible for joining. Check our rules page for further details. |
| I've heard a lot about that admin level. What the hell is it? |
| The shrubbot system implemented in our game module allows us to set any number of user levels with different capabilities for each level. Those capabilities consist of commands starting with the ! character, such as !help, !listplayers, !admintest, !spec999 and so on. There are about 90 commands in total, and increasing user levels have access to more commands. Admin levels go from level 0 (a.k.a. powerless) to level 9 (a.k.a. God). To learn more, please see this page: admin levels. |
| How can I get a high admin level? |
| You can get level by XP up to level 3. If you play often and you collect many XP points, you can gain levels thanks to your XP. More precisely, you get: - Level 1 at 5,000 XP points
- Level 2 at 25,000 XP points
- Level 3 at 50,000 XP points
- Level 4 is granted to all newly recruited members
Higher levels (5 to 7) can be gained by making a money donation to the clan; see our rules page for details. Level 8 is reserved for Law Enforcers and assigned by the clan owners. Level 9 is reserved for clan owners only. |
| Where are the PDP servers located? |
| The PDP servers are currently located in Canada, New York, and London. The exact location for each server is indicated on the home page, under the server's name. |
| How can I change the colors of my nickname? |
| You can change the colors of your nick by using special color markups made by ^ followed by a number or letter. Check our nickname color tool (follow the link on the home page) to learn more and to create your colored nickname right now. |
| How can I save my XP? |
| Your XP is saved automatically each time you disconnect from the server. If you notice that your XP is not saved, check if you have PunkBuster enabled. PunkBuster is an anti-cheat addon built into Enemy Territory. To enable it, go to the server browser screen and click on the "Enable Punkbuster" button on the lower right corner of the screen. |
| How can I bind keys to actions? |
| You can bind keys to a number of commands using the /bind command in the console. For instance, type:
\bind p playdead
to bind the /playdead command to the p key. You can bind a key to a particular sentence in the same way, for instance:
\bind o say "You are a noob"
This will cause you to say in chat the sentence "You are a noob" every time you press the o key. You can also bind keys to a shrubbot command, provided you have an admin level that grants you the use of that command. Please note, however, that the /bind feature will not work with shrubbot commands unless you are at least a level 5 admin. |
| Why isn't my XP saved? |
| You probably don't have PunkBuster enabled. Enable PunkBuster in your game options. If you are using Xfire, try to turn it off before connecting to the server. |
| What is PunkBuster? |
| PunkBuster is an addon for ET and most other multiplayer games, that uses various detecting methods to ensure players aren't using cheats like aimbots, wall hacks, etc. See http://www.evenbalance.com for further information. |
| How can I enable PunkBuster? |
| In the server browser screen, click on the "Enable Punkbuster" button on the lover right corner of the screen. You have to do that only onc, PB will stay enabled until you disable it. |
| May I run a server on my own? |
| Yes, provided you have some basic scripting capabilities. You can even run a server at home, although rental servers are usually faster and more reliable due to the way higher available bandwidth. See http://rtcw.jolt.co.uk for more info on this topic. We also have a tutorial on how to setup an homemade server on our forums here. |
| Is spawnkilling allowed on PDP servers? |
| No. Spawnkilling is not allowed. If you spawkill there, you could be warned, kicked or even temporarily banned from the server. 'nuff said! |
| I didn't play for more than 30 days and my XP is gone. Can I get it back? |
| Pffff, no. There are too many people asking for that, so we're restoring lost XP for clan members only.
Also note, due to the complexity of the new XP records implememntation in the NoQuarter mod as of its 1.1.0 version, XP can only be restored on the NoQuarter server. That is no longer possible on the Clan NQ server. |
| I'd like to donate but I don't have a Paypal account.
Is there any other way to make a donation? |
| No, sorry. You must use PayPal to donate. |
| I have to reinstall ET. Will I lose my current XP? |
| To preserve your XP when reinstalling ET, you must save the etkey file from your etmain directory to a disk or something. Then, when you done reinstalling, copy it again to your etmain directory. |
| I got abused by an admin while playing. What can I do? |
| While in game, search for a level 8 or level 9 admin and tell him/her about your issue. Keep in mind that highest level admins can access the game logs, so be honest. |

| What's an aimbot or bot? |
| The word 'aimbot' designates a specific type of helper program for ET. When enabled, it puts the player's crosshair on the nearest enemy in sight (usually on head), so the player doesn't need to aim. Such programs are prohibited on PDP servers, and players caught in using them will get permanently banned |
| What's a wallhack? |
| The word 'wallhack' designates a specific type of helper program for ET. When enabled, it allows the player to see other players through walls, so making the game much easier and very unfair. Such programs are prohibited on PDP servers, and players caught in using them will get permanently banned. |
| I'm banned from one or more PDP servers. What shall I do? |
| Go to our bans page, locate your ban in the bans list, then use the form you see there to ask for unban. Don't forget to indicate both the server you are banned from and the position of your ban in the bans list. |
| What do you do with the money you get from donations? |
| Money from donations is entirely used to fund the servers. Servers rental is quite expensive, for example one 24 slots server costs a bit less than 400 dollars / year (at gameservers.com).
Donations cover around 40-50% of the total expenses. |
