TCE - Installation

Installation

Once you have downloaded the mandatory files, you are ready to install TC:E!!

You must completely install Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory before you can begin to install TrueCombat:Elite. Just follow the steps below:


  1. Begin by running Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Full. This will create the "Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory" folder on your harddrive.
  2. Now, patch your version of WET with the 2.60 Patch (Win only) (followed by 2.60b if you care to install the security patch - not mandatory!).Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory should now be completely installed on your computer.
  3. Run TrueCombat:Elite Full to install TCE. This will create a folder named "tcetest" inside of the Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory folder
C:\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\tcetest).
  1. Finally run the 0.49b Patch. Here you need to be a bit careful, extract your files to the "Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory folder", NOT the tcetest folder. If you do, you will end up with
"C:\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\tcetest\tcetest" and the game will not be "patched".


You should now have a shortcut for TC:E on your desktop (and one for Enemy Territory). If you don't, right click and select "new" and "shortcut". The following is the DEFAULT command line for TC:E (this goes in the "Target" field of the shortcut properties):

C:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\ET.exe" +set fs_game tcetest +set com_hunkMegs 192 +set com_zoneMegs 64 +set com_soundMegs 32

(Adjust the drive and path information to reflect where you have installed ET and TC:E)


You are now ready to run the game for the first time. Run it and set up your various control and video settings to your liking, all of which are available from the in game option menus.

Also at this point it is an EXCELLENT idea to click on the "Play Online" button on the main menu, which launches the server browser, and click the "enable Punkbuster" button at the lower right, if it's not already enabled. (NOTE: the 2.60 ET patch "broke" the internal server browser, do not panic if you do not see any active servers
