Hey r/EnemyTerritory (and any other ET communities),
I’m trying to track down the \\original developers of the ETNam Mod\\ – the Vietnam total conversion mod for Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. My goal is to get in touch with them about \\obtaining the source code\\ to preserve and potentially continue development of this mod.
\## What we know about ETNam:
\- Developed by the \\Veteran Soldiers (VS) Clan\\, roughly between 2009 and 2012
\- Originally introduced as “Vietnam Mod v.0.0.1” on the Splash Damage Forums in August 2009
\- Publicly released as \\ETNam 0.1.0\\, based on ETpub 0.8.1 source code
\- Featured new weapons (AK47, LAW, RPG, RPD, C4…), Vietnam-era skins, squad system (Rangers/Marines vs NVA/Vietcong), fury mode, kamikaze, napalm airstrikes and more
\- Official website was \\etnam.org\\ – now completely offline
\- The source code was never publicly released – IronMonkey stated in 2010: \“not open source for now… time will tell”\
\## Known developer nicknames:
\- \\B0RG\\ (VS|B0RG) – posted the original announcement on Splash Damage Forums
\- \\IronMonkey\\ (VS|Monkey / -IronMonkey-) – main developer and community contact
\- \\Xabonn\\ – created gameplay videos

\- GameTracker (DbD ETNam server): https://www.gametracker.com/server\_info/108.61.227.67:27960/
\## Why I’m looking:
I run \\Wolffiles.eu\\, a file hosting service for the W:ET community, and I’m working on preserving as much of the ET modding history as possible. ETNam was one of the most unique and ambitious mods ever created for Enemy Territory, and it would be a shame to let it disappear entirely. If we could get the source code, we could keep it alive, fix bugs, and make it compatible with modern engines like ET: Legacy.
\## How you can help:
\\If you know B0RG, IronMonkey, Xabonn, or any other Veteran Soldiers clan members – or have any contact information or know where they are active today – please send me a DM!\\
Even if you just played on their server back in the day and remember any details, I’d love to hear from you.
Thanks in advance! 🙏
