It's fun, if you play the right map. I'm sick of Onslaught, Assault, and instagib already.

Ugh... I know. Those bots are so stupid it makes me sick. There was one bot (Cannonball) that was on my team on redplanet that had 3 frags... in 15 minutes.

He had five. I saw. Give him credit. ;) :p

Anyway, the voting coding has been updated. As soon as it's incorporated and the server restarted, you should have options for the following (all maps have the BigHead mutator running all the time):

No mutators (pure UT2K4)
Berserk (weapons are INSANELY FAST and powerful)
Zoom Instagib
Low Gravity
No Adrenaline
Quad Jump
Auto Healing (regeneration)
Species Specific Stats (each different SPECIES has some sort of advantage)
Damage Reward (UDamage powerup is dropped if you frag the guy that has it)
Pint Sized Combo (adrenaline combo Left Left Left Left makes you very small)
Onslought: BigWheels (like bigheads, only it changes the size of the wheels depending on how good you are)
Onslought: Lightweight Vehicles (vehicles fly farther when you hit them)
Onslought: Jumping Vehicles (crouch key charges up the jump while strafe keys charge up the spin for vehicle antics)
Onslought: Vehicle Arena (replaces all vehicles with a specific type --type yet to be determined)

Again, can't take credit for it. The guys at the Atari forums found it.

WTF... how the hell did you get it up so high? Even so, that thing can only hit ground targets and is extremely succeptable to air attack when it's deployed. Nice strategy, though. You've got to be able to hit almost everything from that position!


sigh! was hoping this bug wouldn't be publically know for a while, guess all the noobs will be doing this now :( :|

oh well, hope it'll be fixed in the 1st patch soon!

So do I. DeviousTrap isn't around, I can't find Jmmsbnd007, and I don't have access to the admin tools at this time. :( I am, however, working on it folks.

Okay, I have access to the server tools again. This thing's quit screwed up. It's not something I think I can fix remotely. We'll need DT to do some work on the server.

I can stop the server, but I can't restart it without double-clicking the icon at the computer it's running on. If I had a VNC connection or something, we'd be in business. I'll see if I can get DT to set it up when he comes back around.

It had 5 at the *end* of the map ;)
You should make the vehicle arena spawn all leviathans (won't let you, but you could always modify the mutator... :D)
I think those should all be kept in except for species specific stats.

That's going to be interesting, methinks. Finding a species that you absolutely kick ass at and play. Either way, it's an option not a requirement. :) It's staying.

I'm not sure what's going on with the server, but it's not as easy as restarting the server. It's a configuration issue. The server isn't actually loading the initial map. The map list is empty, so it's got nothing to rotate to. However, the administration tools won't let me save a new map list for some reason. There's no map list to load or anything. The drop-down lists are completely blank. Grr. At any rate, I dunno wtf happened but it wasn't my configuration that screwed it up :p

Man, this thing is megaborked. The modify map rotation page just has the blank drop-down menu for gametype and maplist management.

BTW, here's a screenshot of the control panel:
Someone borked it

Go up one level to game defaults. Current game runs depending on what is in the Default section. Fixing the page you took a screenie has to be done on a higher level.

Exactly. The ut2004.ini file has been royally screwed.
