UT2k4 72.14.189.207:7666

Patch 436 or higher (Windows 436) (Linux 436 Patch) (Linux 436 Installer) (Linux 436 GOTY Installer) (Mac 436)

For Windows users I highly recommend using Chris Dohnal's Enhanced OpenGL/Direct3D 9 Renderer. (Link)
OpenGL Renderer (3.7)
Direct3D 9 Renderer (1.3)

Just unzip and drop the respective files into your UnrealTournament/System folder.  To enable it open your UnrealTournament.ini file (under UnrealTournament/System) and change the following line under [Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=

OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice for OpenGL
D3D9Drv.D3D9RenderDevice for Direct3D 9

Settings and additional information can be found here. (Link)

UT2k4
Community Bonus Pack 1 (Link)
Community Bonus Pack 2 (Volume 1) (Volume 2)
UT2004 Mega Pack (Windows) (Linux/Mac)

It is under testing and may randomly restart and/or disappear for extended periods as I try to fix things and put them together.

Those of you wanting admin access send helvetica (TheStupidOne) a PM and I'll reply back with the admin credentials.


I have the following additional mods and mutators in mind once we get our own UT server. [Green == already installed]

For Unreal Tournament
Mods
- Monster Hunt, coop game where you work together to hunt and destroy monsters.
- BunnyTrack, coop or competitive game where you use dexterity, agility, patience and willpower to conqueror obstacles. It is like platforming.
- Soccer, no need to say more. There are 2 variants. Soccer and Fragball. Soccer is without weaponry, Fragball has weaponry/
- Thievery, major mod where you become thieves to sneak, hide, steal vs guards. Assassin's creed has nothing on this.
- Dark Mage, everyone becomes a wizzard. For the sake of people who wish to be magical. All weapons and stuff are magical spells.

Mutators
- StrangeLove, riding on the redeemer. For the sake of Mimi-chan Touhou fanboys.
- Mapvoting system, for easy map changing to avoid boring same cycles. I don't know if there is an option to change game modes.
- Statistics keeper(?), optional for stat-fetish-people.


For Unreal Tournament 2004
- No idea :V


Logically Pesco and I will try to enforce these modes for Idiot contests during MotK events. Additionally, I will perhaps develop few maps for these events.

[Pesco]

I gotta admit we sounded like a bunch of kids when we played soccer and strangelove.

[Helepolis]

Boys with toys.

[Zengar Zombolt]

Heavy toys.

In other news, I have the Bunnytrack mod, but no maps for it somehow. Solving this ASAP! :V

[Helepolis]

Solving this ASAP! :V

If I would have to upload all my bunnytrack maps, it will be aprox 3 gigabyte.

You can download lots of BT maps at i4games.eu

[shadowbringer]

suggestions: UT3's Warfare modes (attacking enemy bases' cores and conquering -- or bringing orbs towards -- nodes), CTF but mainly warfare would be cool

[Helepolis]

UT has no such mode though. Onslaught was designed in UT2004+

[Helepolis]

People who own UT,  download the thievery mod at http://www.thieveryut.com/files.htm

We should all play this together as it is fun and lag won't be much of an issue as you don't have to aim/jump around a lot. I plan on hosting my awesome-lag-server-for-non-EU tomorrow (Saturday) around 15:00 GMT+1. You can also check the IRC channel to notice if the server is up or not.

[helvetica]

Main server file upload complete, currently finishing my massive map collection upload.  Should have UT99/2K4 live this weekend barring any more interruptions.

Best news for us addicts so far.

HEY STUFFMAN, START BOWING. :V

[Zengar Zombolt]

GET HYYYYYYYYYPE

[helvetica]

File upload complete.  Now to just install stuff and remember how to build ini files :derp:

[Pesco]

Looks like I won't be getting much modding work done tomorrow :V

SERVERPACKAGES , YEAH !

[Mr_Bob]

Are procedures any different for adding UT to the Battlenet Gateway?  Anything we should be aware of?

[Stuffman]

UT isn't a Blizzard game, it doesn't use Battle.net. You just start UT, open the Multiplayer tab, click Open Location, and put in the IP address of the server you want to join.

[helvetica]

Maidens of the Rocket Launcher
henrietta.shrinemaiden.org:7777

You have to connect using Multiplayer -> Open Location or in the console type "open henrietta.shrinemaiden.org".

For some weird reason it's not working in the server browser, I'm currently investigating.  Also sometimes it'll choose a different map than you voted for.  I think that's just because I have so many maps and I haven't bothered to make proper maplists yet.  Other than that all I have enabled is the Quake hitsounds and ZeroPing (client side hit detection on hitscan weapons) so foreigners don't get screwed by ping.  It is under testing and may randomly restart and/or disappear for extended periods as I try to fix things and put them together.

This news...

IS AMAZING NEWS!

Now where's my UT Disk? I MUST PLAY WITH YOU ALL! <3

[Helepolis]

Server doesn't seem to allow any file downloads.

[attach=1]

For some weird reason it's not working in the server browser, I'm currently investigating.

If I add the IP address (not the dns name) as a new favourite, it just shows up in my browser list of favourites.

[helvetica]

It doesn't let me connect from favorites.  I added it and it just shows up blank but if I manually connect it works fine.  So whatever.

e: ok I guess you can't use henrietta.shrinemaiden.org in the favorites, you have to use the IP
72.14.189.207

As for that download I'll fix it.

[Helepolis]

Now that we have a server, we can start holding contests.

[helvetica]

And now UT2k4 is up.

Same IP and port.  I will rotate them in and out as I feel like it.  We'll eventually have a schedule for which games we run on which days, but for now just poke me on IRC or whatever if you have a specific game you want to run.

Balls, except for the 99 in the title.

I am anti99

99 sucks

I'll change it to UT/2k4

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

I am anti99

What have you got against Hero999?

[Helepolis]

emo-Ran lover Dormio, stop twisting words before I gungnir you.

[Dormio Ergo Sum]

At least I only hate myself, unlike you, you monster.
What did Hero999 ever do to you?


Also, totes need a mod where the instagib rifle is replaced by Gungnirs.

Wha ~ ? UT99/2k4 server up? Nice!

I better brush off my discs and practice a bit before joining you guys....hopefully I can find the former, or it's more money down the drain via Steam!
