I know a lot of people who have both 1.0 and 1.4 in their computer. Personaly I have 1.0, 1.1 demo, 1.33 and 1.41.

Excellent.

Cheers Yoshi working no problem.

Cant believe how many players play on 1.0, 1.1. brilliant. Servers are very healthy with players and clans.

Bit laggy but can still play well.

Think I will be playing 1.1 more often now. Love it. S4ndmod is pretty decent too. Love stats kind alike shrub meets bani how you get health of player who killed you when you die is neat too

Thanks for help Yoshi.

No prob jakal.

Most servers have drop reload enable (even if it is possible to disable it), and you can do it faster with the following script :

bind X "+dropweapon; -dropweapon; +activate; -activate; cg_autoswitch 3"

(replace X by the ley of your chose.)

Press the key, and if you don't releas it you will drop your gun very very fast. I've even see some 1.4 players use this script.

This is usefull too : Add /color "17" in your autoexec.cfg. It lets you drop-realod or change weapon while reloading.

I know a player that got banned from KT server for using such a script.

Is it cool to use on ECGN?

[=CaK= YoShI Profile]

I use it on ECGN and I even saw source using it, so there is no prob.
Banned from a server for using this script ?! Wow I don't see the point of this....

By the way, here a video with the drop-reload style :

And a website with a lot of 1.0 clans and websites :

cool will give it a go.

Also see on 1.1 servers like s4ndmod beach, depot etc are there bots on those servers as some players play quite stupid yet they have a ping.

Most servers I see with bots they have ping 0.

Never thought it work in 1.4, what do you mean put color 17?
Longjump scripf was disable on 1.4, soo why not these?
Burst script is also diasble,
Soo script can be disable if only you know what to looking for.

reloading while changing weapons would come in handy for me. i constantly hit the reload button and a number button together accidently. it goes through the full reload thing without actually reloading then switches weapons. it annoys the hell outta me.

Hey Yoshi

Ben using that script. is good stuff.

I have it set up so it does drop reload for mp40.

I also added the pistol to it. now it does drop but does not reload. is it possible so pistol can drop reload too?

[=CaK= YoShI Profile]

Personnaly I have a key to drop-reload my machinegun and the regular reload key for my pistol.

There were a topic about that on my clan forum. here the link to this topic :

Registered there earlier on today, still awaiting activation email.

Net will play around with the script. The color 17 thing just means you can say start reload of pistol and switch to mp40, for example. while pistol is reloading?

[=CaK= YoShI Profile]

I've juste created an account for you, check your e-mail for informations. You just have to wait for the admin of my team to activate your account. (1 or 2 days max)

I don't know if you can switch to mp40 while reloading your pistol, but it isn't usefull in my opinion.

I don't want to denigrate the 1.4, I think it's good and it would be logical that everybody plays the last version of a game, but for some reasons a lot of people keep on playing in 1.0.

1- If you buy the game, it will be 1.0 for the most part (shops, ebay ...).

2- A lot of players do not even know 1.4 exists. Personally I discorved 1.4 1 year ago and I play wolf for 3 years.

3- A lot of people have issue with the punkbuster. 2 days ago I've helped a friend who wanted to try 1.4. He has a legal copy of the game, but it took 1 hour to fixe issues like 'game in failure' or 'client unkown toauth' and many others ... And you will see soon a new ECGN player

5- Even with a legal copy of the game, some people have the 'INVALID_CD_KEY' issue,and there is no way to fixe it. Some CD key seems to be corrupted.

4- A lot of people download the game, and it only allows 1.0 online. CD keys are from generator and aren't valid for 1.4.

5- Since the official downgrade patch came out, a lot of people stopped playing 1.4 for 1.0.

6- Several people like the 'drop-reload", a famous 1.0 glitch which allows a very fast reloading and makes a different gameplay. You can also disable it.

7- S4ndmod, a famous 1.0 mod, is daily updated and has some nice features like a 100 kb/s download (by default 12 kb/s), Punkbuster, and some other from OSP. It has fixed all old 1.0 glitches too, like the infinite nade glitch. I even see some graphics glitches in 1.4 I never see in 1.0 !


Anyway, when I search info about rtcw on the internet, people speak about 1.0 everywhere (videos, comments, discussions, servers-host websites ...)
In my opinion, 1.0 is more for the fun and 1.4 more for the tournaments. I play both and I find both awesome
And you may know this, but several ECGN players play both 1.0 and 1.4.

Sorry for by bad english, and I hope I've been helpful.

Well i've played 1.4 since patch release. Played wolf since 2001.

Did venture into 1.0 before but thats when all the hacking was going and did not like it. PB updated and alot of guids got banned.

Popped on other week (date this thread was started) and was pleasantly surprised with how many people were still playing 1.0. More players than 1.4 and more servers. Seems very healthy which I am happy about as 1.4 seems to be dying.

1.0 is good fun and I love how there is no restrictions on cvars, I am a bit of a config kiddie, You cannot however use cvars that can be exploited to cheat, r_smp, r_shownormals etc.

On H4S server I can get my ping down to 7!! and makes a huge difference in fragging.
