Chaotic Dreams

Just out of curiousity, anyone know what would happen if you had an old leviathan (the ones that go to 0 weight when deployed) and had a vortex throw one around? I'm guessing it would be something stupid... Anyway, how do levis respond to a vortex? do they get thrown around like everything else?

This question seems to be asked a lot, shouldn't somebody just sticky it?

If the beam is weakened so u cant throw a leviathan around alone it would be good to make the first beam to touch the vehicle able to control the direction and the other teammates can only lift the Vehicle. that would be a bit different from the support of a linkgun cause u neednt aim at the teamma...

Sounds like a fun idea, but there's an issue with people who are just being assholes. If you can pick up your own team mates, what's to stop somebody from picking up a teammate and just holding them still? Or pushing them as high as possible, then dropping them straight back down? I realize ut2k4 ca...

I meant the former... a chaos version of the mutant gametype. I guess the main balance issue would be that most players have ranged weapons, while the mutant can only attack at melee ranges... I guess the fix for this would be to have it like the original ChaosUT or Kakutou, where you can block anyt...

There's a linux patch (kind of) already available for icculus.org... but I don't think that's going to be useful to many people here, and I don't think the windoze version has a nasty karma bug that makes the game segfault often.

I know this would just result in more work, which the chaos team have enough of as it is, but this thread gave me an idea... chaos mutant. Mutant is stuck with melee weps + the usual bonuses (invisibility, double damage, etc.), but no decreasing health, and everyone else gets their normal guns. It w...

Hehe, I love having linux, I can have ut2004 and ut2003 with no conflict :p Anyway, I've run into a little trouble with chaos melee. I think this was mentioned on the forums previously, but I can't find the thread. Anyway, I was playing 1v1 melee duel, and both players have the same weapon. Whoever ...

You say the hoverboard uses your own weapons... does that mean melee weapons will work too? I'm thinking something along the lines of jousting here :p

erm... I'm not familiar with this bug, but.... is that tank *deployed*???? That's the last thing I'd want to see bearing down on me... a flying ion cannon with 5000 health. Eek!

(I'd play on the server, but lag from Australia to the US is awful)

http://www.yetisports.org <-- the original version, with the second game... more penguin abusing fun :p

Little question... I'm running CUT2 under linux, so I don't get the chaosut2 shortcut, and therefore can't get the cool menu. Could somebody tell me the arguments that the shortcut passes to ut2003, so I can make my own shortcut?

(for what it's worth, I'm running Gentoo Linux)

If you feel like more stupidity (not that riding on vehicles is really stupid, but anyway... ) try getting a manta on top of a raptor (the jump ability helps), then working together to lift the manta to the top of the tower or something :p It can be done without a person in the manta, but it require...

Make sure you copy it to your main (as opposed to ~/.ut2003) directory, to make sure it works... after that, the new gametypes and mutator should appear.

Just a thought that could make melee combat more interesting... increase the amount of damage done when you jump on somebody's head. Since it's much easier to defend an attack like that with a sword, it would be fun to see if anybody can pull it off :p I like to do it to bots, but it takes forever b...
