Fresh Installation

So, you want to try out the mod? OK, then follow below steps:

• Read about Disabling Default Profile - that will save you from the upcoming issues with loosing configs at mod start or switch - its ETQW related, and should be fixed in the next ETQW Official Patch.
• Get familiar with ETQW directory structure - it will help you understand where to put certain files, where to search for some files.
• Download the latest version of mod and unpack it to the ETQW install directory, keeping directory structure. Do not start game yet.

• Copy My Documents/id Software/Enemy Territory - QUAKE Wars/sdnet/your_profile/base to the .../sdnet/your_profile/etqwpro - so you will be saved from rebinding and reconfiguring all the keys and graphic settings.
• Set shortcut on your desktop to the ETQW and make it to launch a game with ETQWPro mod by Setting startup parameters.
• Go play online ;)
