if you are talking about melee weapons, because the built in animation rate control (ie.. ability to speed up/slow down animations) doesnt work, firespeed isnt really going to work.

As for all the weapons.... try mappers choice. Its not all of them but should show you that you can switch between melee/normal/chaos weapons.

The problem with UT2k3's animations is that you can't change thier speed. You can only make a new animation that's faster. So, UT2k3RPG's modifiers won't change the speed that the weapon swings at, in fact, it may screw something up and make you LESS effective at higher rates.

BUT, the new magic weapons feature does work with Chaos Duel. If you set it to generate magic starting weapons, each Duel round you will get a random magical melee weapon. Try that and see how you like it. You can also try it with Mapper's Choice, where you usually get a mix of melee and ranged weapons.

yeah but the problem is it'll cause ut2k3 to crash at one point.... :/

Well, now that PR2 is available to the public, Mysterial should be able to poke around and see how he can improve his mod (or make suggestions to us) to get the two to work together smoothly.

That's gonna be interesting, hopping on a duel server to see the other guy has a 300lvl and swing the hammer like he's a crazed rabbit on a meth/coke/caffiene/steroids cocktail swinging a feather around

I doubt he would feel lucky.

Be interesting in straight-up melee duel tho

Haha! Well, for some reason I get a UT2003RPGv4 version mismatch when I join a server (this has nothing to do w/ CUT2). Does this happen to you guys?

yeah seeing as there is about 13+ versions of beta 4 (which mysterial didn't want people to put on there servers till it was done.. but meh how can you expect people to not put it on there servers? ) anyway the final version 4 of ut2k3rpg should be named differently so that'll fix that problem.. hopefully.

You absolutely can change an animation's speed. Most of the animation functions take a Rate parameter for exactly that purpose. Unless you're doing something weird... I didn't look.

Didn't work for me. Well, actually it kinda-sorta worked. See this post.

Well, it wasn't supposed to have that many betas. I think I'm overworking myself.

(which mysterial didn't want people to put on there servers till it was done.. but meh how can you expect people to not put it on there servers? )

Well, none of my other mods appeared on many servers, so why would I expect this one to be any different?

Correct.

I beleive the conclusion we came to was that the animations we were trying to scale the animation rate on we were using that parameter, but it had no effect/ does not work.

Though that was decided before i started programming i think, i beleive the decision was that there was supposed to be support for it but it was apparently broken. I know ive seen *some* animations scale in game, but ive seen some also scale backwards using UT2003 RPG and a high fire rate. By backwards i mean the firing animation plays slower when firing at high speeds.

So what is the absolute latest/most played version and where can I get it?

well in THAT case....
i was wondering, is there a way to have an option to have MORE than 2 players fighting to stay in? just have a 3,4,5,6,7,8..... way duel! problem is, i only saw two starting poinst in some maps.... for my maps i will have like 12 of course... but you would have to update the maps somehow.... would that be an acceptable to go through the effort to increase the chaos factor?
