Also, please download and install both 'community bonus packs' that have a lot of custom maps. Fileplanet should have them as well as fraghoue invasion *version 5*.

Isnt the cooler supposed to have warning lights on the base attached to the cpu if it isnt functioning properly? But yea trying a known working cooler is a good thing to try in order to narrow down the problem. If its the cooler, and its not that old, corsair might replace it. But they likely will have you reinstall it and go through all the troubleshooting steps.

Yea I know. Those are set properly. However its possible that something on the redirect needs to be opened up to make it accessible by UT clients. Download is set to 'false' so only the redirect would work and no server downloads allowed. Forgot to take out that map. So only stock maps should be on the rotation now.

The reason some want the ACR is because, along with its accuracy, there was absolutely *zero* recoil. Not your player view. Not the weapon. Including hip fire. Nothing at all moved other than the tracer rounds. There is no valid reason on why this was a good thing. People think the saritch is too easy? The old ACR was the poster child of a noob gun a 10 year old could use and might as well just paste a nice looking piece of paper on your screen.

Anyways, yea its an old game but different than the usual military shooters. Not sure why the vid didnt embed. edit.NM

Certainly a different look with UT than CoD but fun. So many mods and mutators that nearly anything was possible. Probably going to try and set up a redeemer-only match just for kicks. Was great fun back in the day. One of the goals is to get away from anything CoD/BF. So not the usual DM/TDM or Freezetag. Greed was pretty fun also. The rules for Mutant are simple but pretty different gameplay from the usual. http://unreal.wikia.com/wiki/Mutant Made an online demo this morning to show the server working with standard settings but it takes youtube forever to process anything these days.

An XI Unreal 2004 server up and running. Currently set to the 'Mutant' gametype. 15 bots. In the server browser change to he mutant gametype and look for the XI server in the list. Come check it out. Eventually the goal is to get the Fraghouse Invasion mod running but I still need time to sort all of that out.

Like Boom said, current players tend to prefer the mayhem and current rules than the way it was in the older severs. They like their cars and all the other goodies.

Condolences to everyone in the family.

Yea tried it at another station as well. Didnt seem as tricky however that time. If its a repair job I hope its not something too expensive. Hope another problem didnt rear its ugly head but the car died a couple times starting it up. Wasnt getting enough gas I suppose since it was also idling very low. Eventually worked itself out, I think, since after that I didnt notice any problems. I hope it was just the gas from the other station entering the system.

Hi guys. A strange issue popped up with my car in the last few weeks. The 'safety' trip on the gas hoses go off every so often. I never smell gas or anything like that and if I am careful with how far I pull the lever, say 1/2 way, then I can get gas in the tank. Any ideas on what would cause this?

Why do some people think nerds look like engineers out of the 60's?

I dont even want to think about how to make that one work.

Tried it. Took only a few extra script lines. Really funny. Your uav defrosts enemies with hacker but as far as you know... unless you keep track of names or see it happen... its a friendly. You even get points so it doesnt tip you off. To work, if I did it right, you need to have hacker the moment you are frozen. You cant change loadouts while frozen and be defrosted. I will put it on the test server today so people can join and test it out to make sure all is good. If so I will add the script additions to the main sever. That also will need testing with a full crowd in terms of gameplay and how many will use the perk and when. Like how combat medic and simply extending spawn protection had its own effect. So if its late in the game, and your team is losing, how many will get hacker instead of hardline. Considering the enemy cant shoot down their own uav. It would be an interesting choice to see in action.

If you only use headphones then all you need is a good headphone amp. I got an Asus Xonar dgx on sale for 1/2 off and works just fine for me. So not high end but good for the price. Tho the software is a little old. Creative just came out with a new one and many love their products.

Goes without saying that if you get a good headset get a dedicated audio card. Much better than realtek.

Turtlebeach Z22. Works great for game audio and music. The earpads are fabric. However the thin covering on top isnt very sturdy and even with careful use its coming off showing the foam or whatever it is underneath. So eventually I suppose I will have to cut some color tape to fit and hope it will look decent and stick.

Resurrecting an old topic but thanks.

Nope not gonna redo anything and no changes. The earlier settings have a better balance. Not 'crouch' or 'sights up' tactical. But not a r&g bunny paradise either. As for an MBR, the SCAR-H is quite nice.

The older one is slower and more tactical due to the settings. Doesnt seem as chaotic and that counts for a lot. In comparison, the current settings are like watching a movie with the first 'fast forward' setting turned on.

5.8? Thats it? Try an 8.9. Now that was an earthquake.

Spectate is 'free look'. So you can go all around the map.

Quite a few differences but the main ones you will immediately see are not the alternate weapons but significant gameplay differences. The settings are taken directly from before in the old server. Nothing was changed. So a few notes: Many of the old bugs will likely still be there. Buts its been a long time so I dont remember what they are. You only have one streak at a time. Use the standard streak button to activate ('6' in stock). Also, use it or it wont upgrade (I think). Player speed and jump height are slower and lower. In general, gameplay is slower and more tactical in nature. Spawn protection shorter. No timer. No EMP defrost. ACR disabled so the server hopefully wont crash because of it. Regular defrost is faster. I dont know if you can defrost two people at once (proximity + 'use' button). 'Frozen' overlays so its harder to see. Perk 1 is the old style with C4 and the rest. So no extra 'inventory' loadout option. A few streak options not included. Explosives have a 'spawn delay'.

Why would you choose that over two clays or betties?

Does the steam version allow mods? Surprised the retail version is $30+ still.
