I been watching the progress of the mod since ut2k4 sadly i didnt know about it when i had ut2k3 but im awaiting the arvial of ChaosUt2 for 2k4 and i have a few questions on the hoverboard.

1. will the hoverboard be included in the public release.

2. will u be able to shoot your own weapons on the hoverboard like the grapple

3. can it do tricks.

a idea,on press of crouch the hoverboard lowers to ground level(normal board)

then no animations or anything would be required

how much coding do u think it will take to get points for grinding vehicles and people or just a voice and text coming on ur screen saying grindage. :twisted:

Yes unless something "bad" happens.

Thats the game plan.
3. can it do tricks.
Not yet and this is where we may have to settle for less in oder to hit the release date. Meaning its more important to get it in, working with no errors first. Then come back and add more options like tricks....

The pickup is in there, I believe... I seem to recall seeing it last time I was in UED. Maybe its only in CVS... Will have to check again...
