After ET installation, in the installation directory, is created directory structure.

• Docs - Support and help files
• etmain - main installation folder.
• ET stores here maps files and the most important file: etkey.
  • When you start game and created profile (in this case profile is called: dv) is created directory: profile and subdirectory dv (name of your profile).
  • In this folder is created file: etconfig.cfg where are stores your settings, binds, etc.

Windows XP

After mod installed - XP

If you start ET and connect to server with mod eg. NoQuarter, in main installation folder is created folder with mod name (in this case: noquarter).

Look at image After mod installed - XP.

In this folder, mod stores own files and is created folder profiles where are stores files as above.

In mod folder are created folders:

• demos - ET saves demos created in game
• screenshots - ET saves screenshots created in game

Besides noquarter in main installation directory, can be found folders such as:

• etnam
• etpro
• jaymod
• nq
• shrubet
• etpub

This quantity depends on which mods you have played.

Windows Vista

After start ET - Vista

If you start ET and connect to server, no matter which mod is running on server, the system creates a copy of the directory structure of the game,

in folder c:\Users\your_login\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory.

Look at image After start ET - Vista.

There are stored all the data:

• etmain: maps files, etkey
• noguarter: (or other mods folders)
  • mod's files
  • profiles folder
  • demos folder - ET saves demos created in game
  • screenshots folder - ET saves screenshots created in game
• pb: PunkBuster files

Etkey can be stored also in folder c:\Users\your_login\AppData\Local\PunkBuster\Et\etmain.

It is related to permissions and security system used in Windows Vista.

However, it is possible that all data are saved in the game folder (c:\Program Files\Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory\), as it does in Windows XP.

For it did you start the game with Administrator privilages.

Windows 7

Since Windows7 is based on Windows Vista, the setup is the same as in the case Windows Vista

Linux

In a standard installation, as root, when you start the game as a normal user, in user's home directory is created folder .etwolf, where are stored all users files.

Administrator privilages

If you want to store all ET data in game folder, start game with Administrator privilages.

One time start ET with Administrator privilages showing picture: Run ET with Administrator privilages - only this start.

Run ET with Administrator privilages - only this start

But better always start ET with Administrator privilages - Always Run ET with Administrator privilages

Always Run ET with Administrator privilages
