Chaotic Dreams

After all it was'nt so hard to create the same crush (it just came back).
now this is so disturbing to know that the solution to the problem came from a spelling mistake (-) , when I told my frind what to write in the .ini
he misspeld [ChaosUT to ChaosUt] and it seems to be working?
I dont see the same crush when ever i want to host.

From Diff:

Always when I start playing KOTH temple the games quits after a few seconds with following messsage:

to correct me in the first posted message:

everytime I play the chaotic mod the game quits with the following message:

not too important but the grappling hook has a few problems. When traveling trough the air AFTER grappling and using the "grapple up" command, it causes you to stop in the air and then fall again. Also, i think a controlled "grapple down" command would be nice, rather than sitting there waiting.

The grapple up key is actually an on/off switch for the windup. If the hook is pulling you in it turns the winder off, stopping and allowing you to swing. The same thing happens if you press the main grapple key a second time. Once stopped, pressing the main key a third time will disconnect the grapple, while pressing the grapple up key starts winding the grapple up again.

FYI Jb, Superbots is a mutator created by Mysterial over at UT2003hq.com, that makes the bots play more intelligently. When the box in the config screen is checked, the mut uses CPU intensive hunting for the bots. Makes them play more like a person then a bot, which can get pretty hairy in some cases.

One bug(?) that I found, is that generic UT2K3 weapons pop up in CE maps, even though the Chaos mutator is active. Also I could not figure out how to swich scopes on the sniper rifle. While we are talking about scopes, what happend to the scope that used to be on the crossbow in the UT version?, it certainly would make aiming a lot easier if it had a scope, the same can be said of the rail gun. Also the sniper rifle's damage modifyer could be increased a bit, as unless you get a head shot, the bots just seem to shrug off hits to the body.

I really liked the Vortex weapon, it was funny as hell to watch the bots try to escape being sucked into it. In KoTH is it possible to increase the time of rounds?, or should I ask JeT?

Redjack-

No bug. An option in the mutator config menu is the way that weapons are dealt with - cycle or replace. When cycle is selected, default weapons cycle with Chaos weapons. (and ammo)

Also I could not figure out how to swich scopes on the sniper rifle.

Settings>Controls, there is a control needed for Advanced Weapons Option or something of the like. This changes modes for secondaries, and is used for the rocket launcher and crossbow, as well as sniper.

Thanks Shuriken, I will make those changes next time I play.

You should be able to set them to 999 for a Koth Score limit or did you mean something else?

Same thing here. I was playing. The screen froze, the sound got stuck in endless loop, and ctrl-alt-del didn't work. I thought about overheating, but a friend (Redneck_[duvet]) told me he experienced the same thing killing a bot.
Then we played for about one hour and a half, me being the server and him the client, and the problem didn't appear again. It is possible that it only happens in "instant action" mode. He had superbots, I think, and I had TTM 2.2.

I didn't check if it also occurs without Chaos UT.

ok! when i start a game and that i fire a weapon, i got this sticky and annoying bug that quit me from ut2003 and give me this happy message:

so i say to myself, ****! how i could get this fix up?
and i didnt find out.. so its why i use your help!

thnx,
The Bastard Sword Fan

Bastard does this happen every time?

Can you give me some more details? I want to fix it asap but it does not do that on my system. What D3D version are you at? What driver version for the video card?
ect....

I downloaded the .ut2mod of CUT2 and installed it. But when I try to either join a internet game or create a bot game with anything other than any of the KOTH game type with the CUT2 mutator, when the map is loading, UT2k3 just quits. No warning that the app unexpectedly quit. Almost as if, I guess, CUT2 sent a quit command UT2k3. UT2k3 never did this before. F.Y.I. I have a Mac but that shouldn't be the problem because a .ut2mod is a universal thing both installers read the same.

Can you email me your log file so I can take a look? some times the answer will be in that file. thanks, jb@planetunreal.com

Everytime I fire a Chaos weapon (apart from the CUTTER and the laser guided missiles which work) I get a message something about an error build or something. It happens for the grenade launcher, the vortex...

All but the CUTTER, Chaos Enchanced rocket launcher thingy and Proxies. the normal UT2003 weapons work too. And, (this isn't a bug, but a thing) when i use the "loaded" cheat to get all weaps and ammo, only the normal weaps appear and the chaos ones don't, so i had to collect the chaos weapons. I use loaded because i had no bots and i wanted to 'fiddle' with the weapons to get used to them and trying them out without annoying bots killing you before you get the weaps so i could get used to the new weapons but the chaos ones didn't appear.
