:: Eternity Client/Server Edition ::

Overview

Welcome to Eternity Client/Server Edition (EECS) testing. Based on the Eternity Engine, EECS is an advanced client/server Doom port intended to provide high-quality, competitive gameplay.

Getting Started

Download an EECS client for your platform, place an IWAD in the installation folder (usually something like C:\Program Files\Eternity Engine\bin) and then visit the master to see a list of servers. Clicking on one of the links on the left will connect to that server, clicking anywhere else on the row will show more information about that server in the sidebar.

If you have any trouble at all, please see the FAQ. While we're happy to help, you're likely to get a fix for your issue there quicker than waiting for us.

Helpful Commands

• name <name> Sets your name.
• team <color> Sets your team, i.e. team blue.
• autorun <on/off> Turns autorun on or off.
• bobbing <on/off> Turns movebob on or off.
• password <password> Authenticates to the server. You must at least have spectator authorization before you can enter the server, and player authorization before you can join the game.

Reporting Bugs

The entire point of this testing is to discover and resolve issues in EECS, however it's also a good time to ask for features or report deficiencies. Reporting bugs is simple; there is a bug tracker, all you need to do is create an account. Here are some guidelines for effective bug/feature posting:

• Give as much information as you possibly can.
• Use descriptive titles.
• Be precise and specific.
• Set priority appropriately:
  • Urgent: Error, crash, or required for duel/PCTF
  • Bug: Incorrect behavior
  • Feature: Features that other ports have
  • Wish: Features that other ports do not have
• Use an e-mail address that you check.
• If you can run a debugger, please post stack traces.

If more than a couple days goes by and no one's touched your bug or talked to you about it, please contact Ladna in IRC (irc.quakenet.org #eternitycs), or e-mail him (address here at the bottom. The bug tracker is not where bugs and ideas go to die, it's a list of things for Ladna to fix so he doesn't forget them, so please "bug" him :) .
