Chaotic Dreams

This may or may not be representitive of the file gui. But I have put this up with others as a first pass attempt. I am pretty proud of the work as it was all done from scratch (ie took all of Sunday). The only really reason you need this is to pick your melee if they are running a duel melee game. This also is your esc menu. Sadly the melee weapons tab is the only one not done yet...but we will have that soon. We are probably gonna to have the 4 choices, Melee (Default), UT2k3 Weapons, ChaosWeapons and Mapper Choice. I have a bunch more details included some beta huds, scoreboards and other things to show you soon (tomorrow)...enjoy

Much improved from the pic in the Dev update. This seems much clearer and makes far more sense. but I have a question , will maps need to be converted for duel , or will it work with all standard deathmatch maps? and will there be a possibility of 2 vs 1 , or 2 vs 2 duels? Or maybe even tag team melee duels?

Duel's coded for 1vs1.

Yes thanks to DJ (who worked to get the game play logic set) we have this working well. It will be 1 on 1 for now. But maybe at some point we can add other options. For now we just want to get it working

I have a strong feeling that we will use new maps. In fact I have coded the map list to look for the prefix of Duel. The main reason why is we want smaller arena style maps is so that people fight instead of looking for each other (imagine a one on one on face3 or some other big map). However with that beeing said its very easy to take a existing map, copy it, change the copys name from "DM-..." to "Duel-..." and play. Thats what I did with Gael. Also no pickups of any kind are allowed so it should be easy to crank out a few duel maps

wait.... so JB was epic able to give you a hint on how to fix the playing melee online issues or something?

No. But they told me exactly why it was not working. Which is a good thing as now I know the whys. Still working on a couple of work arounds...

Here are some more beta (which means they may change before we are done with em) shots of duel:

Duel hud:

This is what the two people see that are doing the fighting...

Duel Specator/Loser Hud:

This is what you see when you lose and/or are in specator mod. You place in the line is listed as well as the order... Notice the bot tauting you and yes notice the typical Jb bad grammer


Again just kind of temp stuff however so far we seem to like them a bit

Update to GUI:

I moved the MOTD into our welcom screen. We also now always display the weapons tab (before it only showed up if you were playing with melees). This way you can see what weapons you have espically if the mapper choice is selected.

quick question about the melee weapons... uh will they spawn on weapon bases? or is it the only way to play with melee weapons is in a duel match?

For duel games you will pick your melee and get it when you spawn. For the other games/mut we are not 100% sure yet...
