Dark Alchemy 2005 ~ 2017 - 12 Years of Gaming

Dear Regulars, Members and Followers, unfortunately we have to announce that on 31 March 2017 Dark Alchemy will be closed permanently.

This difficult decision was taken after a long period of observation, which led us to the conclusion that nowadays the Enemy Territory community is increasingly shrinking, and that for a community like ours, this reduction generates an activity equal or less than 20 % compared to a few years ago, when to enter the server you had to wait a few free slot.

Since 2005 we have been pioneers and have set an excellent base that allowed us to have fun and entertain many players for over 10 years.

Today we are able to decide to close with pride, avoiding to let the time and the lack of players to force us to do so.

For all the work done over the years, and all the players, the members, the former members and donors, who have honoured us with their presence, I express best thanks, hoping that all these years alongside Dark Alchemy, have left in you something pleasant and positive.

Happy 13th birthday, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory!

Splash Damage's first game - Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - was released exactly THIRTEEN YEARS ago. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was born on 29/05/2003. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was originally planned to be released as a commercial expansion pack to the popular FPS Return to Castle Wolfenstein and later as a standalone game.

SplashDamage@Twitter: To celebrate #WolfET's birthday we're giving away this signed copy! #RetweetToWin - Winner chosen @ random!

However, due to problems with the single-player aspect, the multiplayer portion was released on 29 May 2003 as a freeware standalone game.
In January 2004, the source code for the game logic (not the game engine) was released to the benefit of its modding community.
The game uses a modified Return to Castle Wolfenstein engine, itself being a heavily modified Quake III: Team Arena engine (id Tech 3, which has been open-source since 2005).

As of the first day of the 2010 QuakeCon, 12 August the entire source code was released under the GNU General Public License v3.Multiple source ports have been started.

While the attempts made by OpenWolf and ET:Xreal concentrate on innovating the renderer, the most active community project ET: Legacy focuses on fixing issues by backporting improvements from ioquake3 while staying binary compatible to the original game client, server and its mods.

Missing in Action (final) - a new map created for ETNam Mod

The storyline: After the last big attack, Charlie (Vietcong), have managed to capture 3 allied soldiers. These soldiers will be interrogated for any valuable information they may have. The soldiers are being held in a secret P.O.W. camp in the Pleiku jungle, awaiting their fate.

Fortunately, U.S. armed forces pick up a Vietcong radio transmition in which they learn the whereabouts of the allied P.O.W.'s and they send in a rescue squad that are camped nearby.  Equipped with a Huey helicopter they are flown to a drop-off point where they will have to navigate their way through the jungle to the P.O.W. camp.

Once there, they will have to blow the maingate and get the M.I.A.'s out of the Vietcong camp, one by one, then bring them to the safety of the allied camp hospital. The Vietcong forces, however, will do all in their power to prevent this.

Changelog:
# Fixed some of the fps problems
# Changed the texture on the sandbags to be more fitting with the ETNam theme
# The Huey helicopter is now destructible ( Thanks to acQu  )
# A more suitable skybox for the map's fog effect

Happy 11th birthday, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory!

Splash Damage's first game - Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - was released exactly ELEVEN YEARS ago. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was born on 29/05/2003. The game was originally planned as a buyable addon for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but the singleplayer was not ready in time. Thus, the community one of the best free multiplayer first person shooter of all time received.

We wish all ET players continue to enjoy with this "young at heart" teamplay shooter.

Alles Gute zum 11. Geburtstag - Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory!

Splash Damage 's erstes Spiel - Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - wurde genau vor ELF JAHREN freigegeben. Am 29.05.2003 wurde Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory von Splash Damage geboren. Zuerst war das Spiel als kostenpflichtiges Addon zu Return to Castle Wolfenstein geplant,  doch der Singleplayer wurde nicht rechtzeitig fertig. Dadurch hat die Community eines der Besten kostenlosen Multiplayer-Egoshooter aller Zeiten erhalten.

Wir wünschen allen ET Spielern weiterhin viel Spass, mit diesem "jungebliebenen" Teamplay-Shooter.

What is ETJump? ETJump is a trickjump modification for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. It is based on etmain and includes bugfixes and lot's of features to give you the perfect trickjumping experience.

I decided today would be a good day to finally release ETJump 2.0.3! It took way longer than I expected and it doesn't have all the features I wanted to implement. I decided it was time to release it anyway as people have been waiting for way too long.

Short changelog:
    New admin system (no more usernames and passwords that are hard to deal with)
    Mapping features
    Minor enhancements to gameplay
    Bug fixes

What's next?
My future plan is to release new versions more frequently. Due to some mistakes I couldn't really do that for version 2.0.2.

A little late, but better late than never.
So, 2015 has really been a great year for TWT with map releases and more members and site members joined. Also a bunch of models released too.
We have cleaned up our download section and I think our site is working good atm.

If you are a newly-started mapper to this amazing game we suggest you make yourself an account at our website as we can guarantee that you will get all the help we can give you.
Bad English is no excuse for not asking for help, for most of us here English is not our first language and we too make errors from time to time.

Our hopes for this year are that even more mappers, modders and gamers join our website and join in the discussions regarding new maps, mods etc., because player-feedback is everything.
And again, Thewolfteam is no Clan, so if you are in a Clan or Gaming Community you can still be there without any conflicts in any way. We are just a comunity of dedicated Wolfenstein Enemy Territory lovers who like to make maps and mods for this old, but amazing game.

This game still stands alone in the gaming world and no other game comes close to it.
I think we can safely say that it's the game with the most custom-made maps and mods ever.
And if you haven't tried it then you should!

We also want to encourage Clan Leaders to join us and share news with us in the proper forum. News will also be promoted from those forums to the website main page.
So what will 2016 bring?
Well, what we can say so far is that there is atleast 6-7 maps already under construction, some of which are very nearly ready to be released.
This year we will finalise all of our map projects as fast as we can and then be able to concentrate our work on model requests and mapping prefabs.

Here are some of the prefabs we think will be made this year:
-Steal Objective Prefabs-
In these archives there will be an objective to take and a delivery spot included too, which you will be able to place at different locations in your map. With a following script to simply paste into your own mapscript.
-Blow up Prefabs-
This will also be stuff that can be placed in your map with the following scripts to paste into your own mapscripts. Both Axis and Alied versions will be created, so you choose what you prefer.
-Constructible Prefabs-
With regards to these, we will always make 2 versions, one Allied and one Axis
This might include bridges, engines, waterpumps etc…
-House Prefabs-
These will be houses made either caulked or with the texturing following ET.
-Terrain Prefabs-
These will be terrains with alphablendings following the maps for you to customise in the way you like.

Also work more on our website tutorials in order to help you out in the best way we can.
We also realise that we need more map scripting tutorials, a step by step guide so people really do understand what they're  reading.
So be sure to check back this year and it's always good to read a bit of feedback from you in our website guestbook.

Happy new year and all best wishes to everybody!
