ChaosUT2 V1.02 Bug Thread
Grenades crash Mac UT2003
Just played DM-CE_1on1-DarkChamber a couple of times. The particle effects on the grenades is gorgeous, but whenever I actually aim at the bot and hit him, game crashes. (Repeated three times.)
Here's an excerpt from the crash log:
*** malloc[518]: error for object 0x1a: Pointer being reallocated was not allocated

Keep up the good work.

Sure, but how? I haven`t found a way to restore the original ServerBrowser. Where can I change it back. There`s no menu to do so.Sir Tahngarth wrote:viper: use the regular UT2003 menu for the normal server browser. ChaosUT2 is still fully functional no matter which menu you choose. the alternate menu was added to A) look cool and B) be a convinence for finding chaos servers.

Sorry for wasting your time. I already found it and the mod works fine but /me suxx[OPB]Viper|UT wrote:Sure, but how? I haven`t found a way to restore the original ServerBrowser.

We can look into it.1) could you increase the volume slightly for the flyby sounds of the Cutter blades and arrows (when they fly by your head)??
We thought about it but another emitter that is spawning smoke may lower the frame rate too much. We actually toned down the effect a few times. Before its was much bigger2) Could the napalm grenades leave a couple plumes of smoke when it burns out?

Maybe4) Also, will we ever get those ricocheting sniper bullets, like in ChaosUT?

well with the melee weapons we thought you wouldn't need to go melee in the claw2...5) Howcome I can't use the Claw after all my proxies and mines run out?
I thought we could still use it as a melee weapon...
Maybe you could implement a second weapon mode for melee, that we could select at anytime
[OPB]Viper|UT,
no problem and glad you got it working. Sorry for your trouble.
ehuelga,
thats the known mac bug with fire textures. Epic will fix it soon. In the mean time we need you to add this work around:
make sure you remove you ChaosUT.ini if it exist. Open up your UT2003.ini file. There will be a new entry at or near the end called: [ChaosGames.ChaosUT], if not add it. Then check to see if the bUseMacWorkAround flag. Make sure you have bUseMacWorkAround=true there. If its not there add it. That should fix the issue.

Well, its not that I would "need" to, but I would much rather go melee with the Claw than the shieldgun, its more interesting and Chaos likejb wrote:well with the melee weapons we thought you wouldn't need to go melee in the claw2...5) Howcome I can't use the Claw after all my proxies and mines run out?

I kinda miss the melee Claw of yore, and like I said, it might be cool to add a second weapon option to the Claw2 so we can switch between melee and mines, if we want

Also, if melee was added, then teh Claw2 wouldn't be useless after running out of mines.
Thanks for the other feedback too.

mmm... some new bugs:
1.
I was playing a level where you are in a dam. outside is a courtyardish area where running water forms part of the gound. the water is covered by an invisible brush, which makes you slide, as if on ice. flame mines won't arm if placed on this area. you can even step right on them and they don't explode. they still explode if dammaged tho. this does not affect the proxy mine dudes.
2.
flame mines don't allways explode in secodnary landmine mode. well they explode when stepped on, but running over their beam won't trigger them... BUT if the mine's beam is projected in such a way that the beam becomes higher than foot-level, i.e. on a wall, or on a slope, then the beam can be triggered. sound slike a detection bug with the lower extremities of a player model... didn't try crouching over the beam tho...
3.
tried the flashbangs and no effect on bots.
4.
may not be a bug in the mod, but it seems that the minigun has to have a solid surface in it's range to actually create a projectile. I tried shooting out into the distance but nothing came out... ammop was expended, but no projectiles.. so I shot at a nearbly surface, and there were prohectiles, I then shot at the surcae and while still firing i moved my aimer out to the distance. the projectile stream continued to the edge of the surface then stopped moving. the projectiles were CURVING out of my gun towards the last solid area they hit. really weird looking.

Try this. Get a bow, load it with exp bolts. Find a long hallway. Stand at one end fire in normal mode at other end. Count how long it takes before the arrow expoded when it hits the end wall. Then switch to charging, charge it up to full, and do the same. You shoud see that in charging mode it does not take as long before you see/hear it expode, thus its travling faster...
we can try to make it more apparent...
