Game data setup
ET: Legacy needs the game data (pak0.pk3) before it can start. How do you want to provide it?
The files are stored in the browser (IndexedDB), so this only has
to be done once.
Run game
ET: Legacy
Quick single game
Dedicated serverlist
ET Server Browser. Save your favorite servers, filter the list and join with one click. Share a server link so others can follow you.
Server list has not been loaded yet.
The server's mod is normally detected before the game starts.
Pick one only when its getinfo response is blocked. Missing pk3
files are downloaded from the server when joining. Dedicated
servers are reached through the WebSocket relay.
Host game
⚠ Keep this browser tab open and in the foreground while
you host. A tab in the background (another tab, another window,
a minimized browser) is throttled by the browser: the game
stops running and everybody who joined loses the connection.
The game runs inside your browser and is announced in the lobby,
so other players can join it from "Join games" or with your
invite link. Add up to 10 maps to play them one after another in
a rotation; with a single map that map simply restarts. Maps
that are not part of the stock game are downloaded automatically
- by you and by everyone who joins. More bots than free player
slots are not possible.
The mod the hosted game runs. It is downloaded the first
time it is used, by you and by everyone who joins. Mods
that do not come with game code built for WebAssembly
are played with ET: Legacy's game code, using their own
maps, media and server settings; the greyed out ones are
not served with this page at all.
When the deployment serves a preset config for the mod
(
<mod>/etl-host.cfg next to this page),
every game hosted with it runs that config first. It is
maintained on the web space, so it sets up the server the
same way for everyone; what you pick here is applied
afterwards and wins over it.
Default off. When enabled, players are prevented from joining
the team with more players. (The game derives the read-only
g_balancedteams from
g_teamForceBalance, which is what this sets.)
Default on. Whether the server should require players to be
ready before a match can start.
Default on. Enables teammates to hurt each other.
Default 60. The length of time the warmup lasts prior to a
match starting, in seconds.
Default 0 (the map's own time). Any higher value sets the
Allied respawn time in seconds.
Default 0 (the map's own time). Any higher value sets the Axis
respawn time in seconds.
Server settings of the mod
Every server setting the selected mod knows, grouped by
topic. Only the ones you change are handed to the server -
everything else keeps what the mod (or the preset config of
this deployment) sets. Settings marked "restart" are only
read when a match starts.
Saves every setting on this page, including the map rotation,
as a JSON file and reads it back. Values from a file are
checked and clamped to the allowed range before they are used.
Join games
These games run in other players' browsers. Maps that are not
part of the stock game are downloaded before you join.
Player profile
The profile is written to the browser filesystem (IndexedDB) and
the game starts with it as the default profile - exactly as if it
had been created in the in-game menu. In-game settings are saved
into the profile and persist across sessions.
Browser files
Files are stored by this browser in IndexedDB. Deleting a pk3 or
wasm module makes the page download it again when it is needed.
ET: Legacy Web – Description & Guide
What is this website?
This web version runs ET: Legacy directly in your browser. You do not need a native installation to play. The engine, mods and downloaded game files run through WebAssembly; large files, profiles and settings are stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB.
Ways to play
- Quick single game: Choose a map and immediately play locally against bots.
- Host game: Start a local server in your browser and configure its rules, mod, bots and a rotation of up to ten maps.
- Join games: Join a game hosted in another browser through the lobby or a
?join=invite link. - Dedicated server list: Browse public Enemy Territory servers and connect through the WebSocket-to-UDP relay.
- Direct connection: Enter a hostname or IP address and port, or open the page with
?connect=host:port.
Available mods
- Legacy Mod – the current ET: Legacy game mod.
- XMod – a classic ET mod with browser-hosting defaults.
- Jaymod – includes dedicated client and server modules built for WebAssembly.
- ETJump 3.6.2 – a trickjump mod with its own WASM modules.
- ETPub – ETPub game code and data for browser-hosted games.
- No Quarter – uses the
nqmod folder with the required data packages and WASM modules. - ETBloat – includes its own game code for clients and browser hosts.
- Nitmod experimental – an experimental browser port using
nitmod_2.3.5.pk3.
Downloads and local files
Missing retail packages, maps and mod files are downloaded when needed and cached in the browser. Browser files lets you upload, download or delete PK3 and WASM-SO files. Config, menu, script, JSON and text files can be edited directly. Your player profile, name and settings remain available after restarting the browser.
Hosting and important notes
- Use Host game to configure the map rotation, mod, player slots, bots and server rules.
- Press Start hosting and share the generated invite link.
- Keep the host tab open and in the foreground. Browsers throttle background tabs, which pauses the local server and disconnects other players.
- After a reload, the page attempts to restore the host session and reclaim the same lobby room.
