Unreal Tournament GOTY - Die, bitch! - Games

Hey, does anyone feel like playing together on a server with Evolve at some point in time? I already sorta have a server set up to work with Evolve, but I'm wondering if any of you want to set your own server up. I know that these guys occasionally host a UT99 server as well as a UT2004 server and a Jedi Academy server (unrelated, but if you have an interest in that particular game, it's there).

Are there commands to reposition view models in UT99? I've been playing in ultrawide and I've been running into this: [thumb]http://i63.tinypic.com/fxt9vm.png[/thumb] It's not a huge problem, its only with the redeemer that there is a real visibility issue. It seems like I just need to lower them a bit, it that possible? [editline]9 january 2017[/editline] This is also an issue in 2004 but UT99 is way more important to me: [thumb]http://i66.tinypic.com/351fvp2.png[/thumb]

NU released another remix and this time it's Mech8. [video=youtube;yOd5cXJ3EuY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOd5cXJ3EuY[/video]

Just discovered the UT4Pugs community discord, has a bot that organizes matches and everything. Really neat, and everyone is really friendly. [editline]asdf[/editline] Speaking of which [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-9mntccmH4[/media]

[QUOTE=comet1337;51688569]still waiting for hyperblast[/QUOTE] he already did it's called go down [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRWEIuRhaJ0[/media]

Hyperblast is Go Down with some instrument tracks removed. Why bother doing it separately??

Is it okay to be very upset about the fact that the UT4 devs still haven't gotten around to fix the custom materials being broken on the Mac version of the game? It especially annoys me now because there's a ported UT99 map pack that someone made and I wanted to see how shit like rippling water textures and etc compared to the original maps. [url]https://www.epicgames.com/unrealtournament/forums/showthread.php?25978-UT99-All-Ported-Classic-CTF-Maps-(All-maps)[/url] I already made a thread or 2 about this problem before, but it's been a while since then and I have a feeling I may need to make another one.

So, Epic released another update and it seems they brought back the Lightning gun. Judging from the description, it works in a similar way like a TF2 sniper rifle compared with the old UT2004 lightning gun.

It has two very different fire modes depending on whether the weapon is zoomed in. When the weapon is zoomed in it will automatically begin to charge as shown by a meter in the scope. If the weapon is fired before it is fully charged, it releases a low powered beam of lightning at the target which can be fired at a fairly quick rate. However if the player allows the weapon to fully charge before firing, it will release a large beam of lightning which does a significant amount of damage to the first target it hits and then chains to cause some damage any nearby targets in line of sight of the hit target. When fired from the hip, the rifle will shoot a high speed but low rate of fire projectile which sticks to an enemy and electrocutes them for three ticks of damage over a second. This allows the player make interesting skill shots at medium to close range and defend himself. The Lightning Rifle is currently only available for play using the Weapon Replacement mutator.[/QUOTE] They also gave the Grenade Launcher a new model, albeit still WIP.

[editline]23rd January 2017[/editline] Also new gamemode, Flag Run. Forgot about that.

Flag Run took a minute to get the hang of, but I think it's a lot of fun. I haven't used the lightning gun yet, though.

I was watching some Heretic II gameplay footage and that fucking naked stain glass angel girl from DM-Gothic came out of nowhere on the top mid-left. [t]http://i.imgur.com/7YQoEFl.jpg[/t] The fuck is she doing in this game? [editline]23rd January 2017[/editline] [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_kMjpU0NyI[/url]

Looks like somebody is working on a Superhot mod: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nqpUNGeQLg[/media] [url]https://www.ut99.org/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=12059[/url] [url]http://www.moddb.com/mods/uhot[/url] Also, the author was going to try to make all the textures white, but it was fucking some other textures up as a side effect, so he put that on hold.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/5j95XZL.jpg[/t] I decided to convert the male commando model into a giant brush just for the hell of it.

Also, I made a road and pond scene in Blender and brought it over to UED2. I plan on adding some trees surrounding the area later. [t]http://i.imgur.com/PB7uQCo.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/n4gBlPC.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/ZNAJG4w.jpg[/t]

That looks more natural then i expected, does ut99 have any hard limits in terms of map detail?

I'm not really sure, but I know that there are some UT99 maps that kinda look like UT2004 maps with the heavy use of model actors and non-matte surfaces. [editline]14th March 2017[/editline] These maps, I believe: [url]http://www.ut99.org/utr/the-maps.html[/url] They also use more detailed brushwork and non-vanilla textures. [editline]14th March 2017[/editline] Also, I added trees. [t]http://i.imgur.com/wI1iPpl.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/RWzSPkV.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/MA2vWct.jpg[/t] I may put a sheet that's in a similar shape as the trees right between them so that I can get some shading under that area. [editline]14th March 2017[/editline] I fucking wish reflections worked with skyboxes in UED2. Otherwise, I would have gone with a legitimate skybox rather than a boring cyan texture.

Oh the community pack where they replaced the weapons with the same weapons but only you can't use weapon shortcuts on them anymore. Also Kamah and especially Otherworld ran terrible. Love the maps though

Also I posted this in the comments section for one of the screenshots involving the model exporting thing. It just occurred to me that not everyone on here may know how to do that: [quote]If you're wondering how, I did this using a Ascii Exporter for Blender and a ASE to T3D converter. WIthin UED2, you can import T3D files as a brush under the "Brush" drop down menu.[/quote] I got the ASE to T3D converter somewhere in the page below: [url]http://www.unrealtexture.com/Unreal/Website/Downloads/3DEditing/UnrealEditor/Tools/Tools.htm[/url] Here's the downloads page for the Ascii exporter. I don't know if it's going to work with the most recent version of Blender, though. I'm using an older version of Blender with it. [url]https://code.google.com/archive/p/ase-export-vmc/downloads[/url] [editline]14th March 2017[/editline] Is this what you're talking about, J!NX? [t]http://i.imgur.com/0wI2qlb.jpg[/t]

It was actually about the terrain itself, and was specifically made by people using Unreal 1 [url]http://www.celticwarriors.net/Website/Mirrors/TerraEditTutorial/Terrain%20Editing%20for%20the%20Unreal%20Engine%20using%20Terra%20Edit.htm[/url] this seems similar enough to it at least, I'm pretty sure its not what I saw way back then though. Whatever they did I just know they made hills that were way higher in detail than anyone else made only issue is that its a different engine version so hey [editline]14th March 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Nastardo;51456117]UT4 looks bit like some chinese rip off of UT3. The maps are gorgeous but something feels off.[/QUOTE] UT3 is more like a Chinese ripoff of GoW and UT it was a sad thing to see because it fell pretty far from what made UT great

Well hell, that's one way of getting around UED2's lack of smoothing on brushes. Looks pretty fucking neat. [editline]14th March 2017[/editline] Also, isn't Silver Ibex the guy that did that one DM-Tigerhunt map? [t]http://i.imgur.com/qRolBKh.png[/t]

I was only playing UG at the time so it was pretty crazy to see that from such an old game. [editline]14th March 2017[/editline] tbh I miss Unreal Gold's "Art" style but I can never get back into it sadly UG had something unique that nothing else can really emulate. The Solus project gave that same exactly feeling but that's the only game that I've seen do it. UG had this really amazing attitude to it, exploring these fantastical ruins of an alien world, giant fields, huge terrain. This feeling of both isolation and adventure. There are a shit load of games that give you this really great sense of exploration but UG just has a very unique take on it.

Also, I accidentally came across an archive for the RealMaps series, which I believe was originally made for that one Infiltration gamemode. [url]http://realmaps.crowze.uk[/url] It kinda looks like there are some maps on there that weren't on Mapraiders.

[QUOTE=Skerion;51501789]Holy hell, someone remade that one chase scene from Ghost in the Shell in UED2. They did a pretty good job with the brushwork, too.

[QUOTE=RikohZX;51962201]What weapon set are you using in these screenshots?[/QUOTE] I didn't make the map nor the screenshots, so I wouldn't really know. [editline]14th March 2017[/editline] My flimsy-as-fuck guess is that it might have something to do with that one Infiltrator mod.
