Re: EU Chaos UT Server for UT99
Well...
I have been playing on both servers the last couple of days. Sofar they performed very well (2 players + 2 bots).
But...
I would like to invite you to have a go on them as well, since we need more players at once to determine how many players it can hold without lagging...
So...
I hope to see you all there soon...!

Re: EU Chaos UT Server for UT99
Just btw. Have you als got the weird bug on most of the maps that the bots and players are not really moving but more like gliding and looking on the ground?
I have that bug on many UT servers, it's playable with that but still kinda annoying .
If you don't know what I mean I can make screenshots tho.
(This bug does NOT appear on every single map!)
I will be online today in the evening up to some hours after midnight. Hope we all can play then!

Hi Netzpatron,
I have not noticed that on any server sofar, could it be something in your UT install?
Since you mention you experience it on more servers?

Re: EU Chaos UT Server for UT99
There are a couple of reasons for the skating players.
I am guessing you did a complete install with the compressed textures on CD2
Unfortunately some of those textures are bugged.
Solutions:
1) Replace with the textures from CD1
2) Patch the broken textures
3) Replace with newer higher resolution texture packs
Personally i use the new texture packs as they make many of the old maps look stunning.
If you have a modern PC with at least DirectX 9 GFX, then I recommend the upgrade, and forget the patch or old low-res textures.
I maintain this section at Hooks UT place
http://hooksutplace.freeforums.org/unre ... -f104.html
It has all the latest UT99 patches, updates, tips and shiny-shiny-shiny.
Skim through the sections 1 to 3 first, and then go back and pick your selections.
Gimme a shout if you have any issues.

How to do so? I mean, how to uninstall the new textures.
I am not sure whether I ticked on the high res textures on my CD 2, but I guess I did...
Edit:
Here is the YouTube link, but I guess you already knew what I mean.

Btw while recording I noticed the screen is not getting green when getting hit by the poison arrow...
I don't really care about that miscellanous, but still worthy to tell this here.

Re: EU Chaos UT Server for UT99
Those are the 3 different options. I prefer option 3 as it makes many maps look better.
Using big textures requires that you use modern UT renderers.
The best new renderers are from OldUnreal. These are still being developed so if you have problems there is a place to get fixes/updates
http://www.oldunreal.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?board=2
If you have any problems with joining a server using cheat protection is because the server admin has not whitelisted the new files. In that case you should ask the admin to update. If they will not update you will have to use the previous builds
http://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/
If you have an nVidia card, use the new OpenGL renderers.
If you have ATI then the DirectX 9 renderer is better.
Once you have a new renderer installed the best way to configure it is by opening the console and typing "preferences". You can see more options that the main UT GUI shows.

Re: EU Chaos UT Server for UT99
Mapvote is installed this morning, so everybody can now choose their favorite map and gametype.
Let the games begin!
Future server changes, will be announced on The Errorist Network forum.
http://forum.errorist.tk/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=90
I hope that more people will try the new UT99 Chaos servers, and have as much fun as we do.
Please, let me know whenever you have any feedback!

Re: EU Chaos UT Server for UT99
Yup we have a snag... or 2..
The server has sat for hours on the same end of game.
Countdown needs to be enabled. Players can only join as spectators in the end sequence, so nobody can vote.
The mapvote should have a setting to open at the end of a game. Players have no way to access the mapvote until they have set a key in the mapvote GUI.
Also we need to swap the DM, TDM, CTF game modes over to Chaos versions.
I just added this line Into MapVoteLAv2.int so I can get a better look at all the options in the advanced prefs window.

Re: EU Chaos UT Server for UT99
Well...
Both servers had "Enable mapvote on End game" enabled, so it seems that it only does that for currently connected players.
Therefor as a test, I disabled the bots, to see how it behaves then...
Interesting to see I got connected as spectator in "Last Man Standing", as the number of allowed spectators is set to 0?
If this only happens on "Last man Standing", it could mean the gametype might be disabled in the near future as this server was originally meant for Chaos DM.
Let's find out if this helps.
Please let me know if you guys find anything.

Re: EU Chaos UT Server for UT99
Aha, yes in that case it may be wise to also have the mapvote window open upon arrival anyway.
We should be able to populate the windows with the various Chaos modes such as King Of The Hill and Sword Arena.
I see it also supports different mutator setups for the different windows. That may be useful.

Last man standing is without the Chaos mode anyway, so delete it

Re: EU Chaos UT Server for UT99
One thing tho.
I started Koth the first time yesterday and the map was not downloading so I couldn't connect.
But ofc I knew the mappack is on chaoticdreams so I downloaded and installed it and could join the server without any problems.
