I was a HUGE fan of ChaosDM, back in the old days. When no mod was made for Quake 3, I got away from the Chaos scene. After playing the latest beta of CUT:Evolution, I think I am hooked again. Playing ChaosDM1 brought back some great memories.
Anyway, I'm not that good with UT2K3 scripts and cmds. Is there a way to make the Best Weapon cmd apply to the Chaos weapons? Or is there a script out there that can be altered?
Are there still plans to implement turrets? They were probably my favorite feature of Chaos. What about a Bastard Sword?... Airfist?.. Scanner? Is there any gravity when grappling?
Keep up the good work guys.
CUT questions
Hi
Glad to see another Q2ChaosDM fan around!
As much as I love our later Unreal versions, there is still something to be said for what I best describe as the 'brutality' of the Q2ChaosDM. It's just so in-your-face it seems. Anyway, it's still played heavily, and our MooTown server has players every day and night. Come on out sometime.
And yes, the Best Weapon key will work with CUT2 weapons, however, you must go to your Weapons tab in the GUI, and move the CUT2 weapons to the priority level you want them at. They will be at the bottom of the list after install.
Just for conversation; I put my RL at the top, with GL right below it. My superweapons are at the very bottom of the list, and I put my sniper weapons right below my xloc/assault rifle.
In a fight, I don't want my BestWeapon key to pull up a superweapon or a sniper weapon. And this way, if I'm loaded, and have my BestWeapon out, a quick scroll up brings up my sniper weapon. (or superweapon, but usually not toting one of those)
And yes, turrets and swords are in the works. More than one of each actually. There will be a big turret, similar to the UT version, and smaller ones like you've seen in Q2Chaos. Plus there will be more than one melee weapon this time, maybe even more than one sword.
Exact details on how we are going to implement these are still being worked out.
