Thx. Also been going through maps in my archives. So many maps I remember. Ah good times.

Oh man. DM gametype while I mess with things. TCC is working but also added the smarter bots mutator. Then increased bot skill level to 'skilled'. Which is two levels above 'average' but still a few below 'godlike'. So they do more than just move slow or stand there and accuracy is better. They dodge, jump, and all the rest. They are fucking tough and its mayhem with 16 players/bots. However at 16 many of the maps are just too small so have to work on that. Anyways, yea its not like OW2 but great fun. Dont know yet if the smarter bot mutator will apply to Fraghouse Invasion when that is online but it should. Will have to test.

Yea I got that also.

Increased the cache time to more than 30. Which I think will work. As for HLSW... what is GalaxyClient? Should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Games\Unreal Tournament 2004\System\ At least it is on my machine.

Shhh. Dont reveal state secrets.

As always, Rugger and Duc... who know all things... helped get the redirect going. So uploaded all the CBP1 maps and they are in the Mutant rotation. Need to fiddle with that since they are all the last ones. When finished downloading, they wont go in your game install maps folder but a separate cache location since they are compressed archives. If you want the actual maps in their proper folders you can install the packages yourself or I am pretty sure there are tools around that will uncompress whats its the cache and do it for you. Rules are short: The Mutant Deathmatch variation is where the first person to kill becomes the Mutant; a player with a starting 199 health and 150 shield, increased running speed, higher jumps, and 999 ammo for every standard weapon. After this, every player (with one exception) can only try and kill the Mutant, but in turn the Mutant can kill every other player. The person who lands the killing shot will then become the Mutant. The exception is the Bottom Feeder, the person with the lowest score. They can also kill other players. And, like a normal Deathmatch, the first person to reach the required amount of points (20 ATM) or has the highest score when time runs out wins. 16 players... which could mean 4 players and 12 bots. If any UT players remember great DM maps let me know what they are and I will add them. One last thing. I havent install it yet but the old anti-cheat package should still work from what I read. Up until they stopped supporting it way back when. So must still watch for any cheaters and deal with them.

There are so many great maps that you will never get bored. There are more packs as well.

Depends on what game you are modding for and what the development kit has. So best to go check those out.

That little problem didnt happen again. But I wonder if a car being left under a hot hot sun all day might have an effect.

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.
