VanguardMod

A competitive Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory mod for the ETLegacy runtime, designed from the ground up for ESL/cup play. VanguardMod is not a fork of NoQuarter, NitMod, Jaymod, Silent or ETPub — it is a clean, opinionated build on top of the ETLegacy Mod SDK with a strong, military-toned identity.

VanguardMod ships in two flavours that share the same client-side code (cgame.qvm, ui.qvm) and differ only in the server-side qagame module:

Build	qagame form	WolfGuard	Distribution
Community	QVM	null stub	public .pk3
Protected	native .so/.dll	linked	server-registered

The Protected build is gated by server registration on vanguardmod.com and ships with WolfGuard, an exclusive, closed-source anti-cheat with a centralized global ban database.

Status

Early bootstrap — no gameplay code yet. See BOOTSTRAP.md for the next steps to bring in the ETLegacy Mod SDK source tree and produce the first build.
