Title: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 02.05.06 at 15:05:03
Okay Hello all here we go then, all I need is some Ideas to get this one rolling :)

I have been installing UT 1999 on all of my PC's so I can join in all of the time, who is willing to run a server? since I have no experience by doing that.

We also need to plan a date so we all can join in and play like for a an hour or more :)

I was suggesting the following games based on Unreal Engine 1.0

Unreal ver 2.26
Unreal Tournament Game Of The Year Edition Ver 4.36 1999
Operation Na Pali Mod for UT 1999

If there are any other ideas, well bring em on I'd say! 8)

Excellent idea.....pleae lets play @ Morpheus  ;D......I would create a server but pings here in Greece are terrible so this would not be a games but a laaaaaaaagy waste of time. If you people decide to do such a meeting please make it before 8 of May....I m leaving for my army service on that day   :)

hehe great to hear you like the idea, I did think about it for some time, but since we all live sooooooo far away from each other I thought about a good 3dfx game and these Unreal titles did give me the perfect sollution.

We can just relax @ home behind our very own machines and still we can meet in 3D and yes in Glide, Open GL or Direct3D so it does not matter what Graphics Accelerator you have you can always take part of a game, even S3 Svage 3D, Savage4 and Savage 2000 users can use the S3 MeTaL API :)

This way we all can join in one game at the same time, it's cost efficiant as well :)

but for the time being we need a server for the game, since I can't make a server because of power costs and so on we'll need sombody else for that problem.

All what we can do is wait, unless FalconFly comes up with a bright idea ;)

I can't host a server, as I'm sharing my mate's 1MB broadband connection... ::)

My max MTU value is 1300...grumble! >:(

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by TM30 on 03.05.06 at 09:30:18
i think we all should join an exisiting dedicated server. i think that there are still many left with 0 players on it...

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 03.05.06 at 11:16:16
also a possibillity, if you still know an IP adress so we all can join to that IP we can still do our meeting :) great idea TM30 :)

I'm with you guys... But... I have Unreal , Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament (not GOTY)... Are they compatible with yours?

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by outlaw on 03.05.06 at 12:48:31
Get all the latest patches for the tournament and you are ready to go.....if the dedicated has some extra features will all have to wait to be downloaded at connection.

4.36 is the latest official patch for UT 1999 and 2.26 Final is the latest for Unreal. 4.40 is the latest unofficial for UT 1999, But I'd say use 4.36 I think it's more reliable.

Post by Combatman on 03.05.06 at 23:39:05
I might be able to be the server.....maybe

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by elfuego on 03.05.06 at 23:49:57
I might also be able to host a server... real IP, 1Mb/s + 80 connections is good enough? I have only UT'99 GOTY. I'd have to host it on my laptop though, without 3dfx :( If only 3dfx made some voodoo's for PCMCIA...

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 04.05.06 at 12:35:19
that would of been a dream for any 3dfx fan 3dfx powered Laptops :)

you could give it a go, dunno if your upload speed is suffiaciant though :-X

Little Ot... I remember that John Carmack used a notebook with pci port :)

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 04.05.06 at 13:41:43
hmm never heard of that, seems like a bright idea though :) wow a notebook powered by Voodoo4 4500 :) since the 4500 is small compared to the 5500's

was that an internal PCI or an external converter?

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Max_R on 04.05.06 at 14:58:16
It was a Pentium 2 based system (Dolch) with standard PCI slot... I think it was an "internal" port...

My Upload speed varies, and it goes up to 3.5Mb/s. I can host a server on saturday, some time betweeen 19h PM (GMT +2) and 24h (GMT+2). I would do it earlier, but I have a difficult exam tommorow. Wish me luck - I am going to need it :(

Post by paulpsomiadis on 06.05.06 at 19:02:22
OR do this...

What you do is go into the UnrealTournament/System folder and either delete or move (out of that folder) the de.u and de.int files. Then you will download them off of the server and have the correct versions.

hey Elfuego you mentioned Quake3 in a UT game once, you were the FIRE lad right?

Q3A ia also an idea heeh then I have some nice skins for you people :) Lonewolf the Q3A K9 :) Darth Vader, Mario, Luigi & Wario  LoL ;D and many more.

if you'd like to have some i can mail them to you.

we can even creat a clan name ;) I was thinking of

FalconFly's 3dfx Jedi Clan hehe

Post by elfuego on 08.05.06 at 21:15:40
Yes, I was the FIRE lad. Fire = El Fuego (Spanish). I hate Q3. I can play it, but I hate it. I allways do the most damage to other players and then - out of nowhere comes a troll and literally COLLECTS frags with a minigun. I hate the bloody game.

But I'll play it!!!  ;D

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 08.05.06 at 21:35:36
UT 1999 is still the best imho too but Q3A is fun too it keeps me going. I'll state that we use Point Release 1.32 final if we are gonna do Q3A okay :)

and 3dfx users use WickedGL 3.02 for great 3dfx performance :)

hmm yeah I think too, I'll try something else no deticated this time, maybe that was the thing I done wrong.  :-/

I removed the other post because it didn't work anyways, every time I start a server a only get to see my local adres, like I've told before I have no total experience on running an Internet server with games, I always joined others, which is alot different than mak'n one.

well it's not working, might as well leave it aside, since it's too complicated for me anyways, basic terms of networking are okay but this is a little too complicated for me.

So might as well find a server and do it the oldskool way :)

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Combatman on 13.05.06 at 16:50:46
you need to create a rule in your internet modem. For my dsl modem a simple selection of what game Iwould be running as a server under other services tab was all i needed to click on.

What time this weekend? Or if we doing it this weekend? Generally go by the name UrDead. I'd host but my upload speed through Comcast sucks.

Ok, looks like I can upgrade my cable connection for 10.00 a month to have an upload speed of 768Kbps compared to 384Kbps and download speed from 6 megs to 8 megs.

Ok, just did it. Close to a meg upload speed. I can host it if need be. Middle of US so don't know what it'll be over sea's with hops and what not but just letting you guys know.

Get all the latest patches for the tournament and you are ready to go.....if the dedicated has some extra features will all have to wait to be downloaded at connection.

Latest patch is 451 b.
Then you must have at least version 436 installed.

In light of recent 'unpleasant-ness' that occured in the forum... :-/

...me and @OBi_Wan have agreed to have a UT match today at the following time and place. ;D

So this way, everyone can release their frustrations with big PLASMA RIFLES! 8)

GAME LOCATION
===========

My server, I will be hosting... ;)

Rounds
---------

1. Deathmatch (3 maps)
2. Team CTF (3 maps)
3. Domination (3 maps) - if we have time...

Server info
--------------
Server name: 3Dfx_GPP
Server IP: 82.39.33.51

I'll be testing the server @6:00PM GMT to make sure others can connect... ;)

(I have a 2MB line, so providing others can connect, we should have little problem with lag...) :)

If all is well, we can continue matches till 8:00PM GMT (providing there are enough players...) ::)

Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 24.01.07 at 12:28:42
oh one other thing!

Everyone it would be cool if you'd all use your exsisting 3dfx cards if you still have them for usage, let us all carry the spirit of 3dfx on togeather for ever!

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 24.01.07 at 18:56:15
Hey Paul unable to connect to 3Dfx_GPP, could you please note the IP number needed to join, because this isn't working.  :-/

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by paulpsomiadis on 24.01.07 at 18:58:44
Server will be up shortly...

Everyone prepare for a 3.13MB custom map download upon connecting - I'm starting with a nice DM map called...

DM_Agressive_Tendancies

See ya' folks!

==EDIT==

Hold the phone!

My UT has developed a problem with a missing file!!!

Please bear with me for a few minutes, I'll be online ASAP...

...I'll post again when it's fixed!

(Sorry for the delay)

Well I can Join @ 21:00 PM Dutch time  [+1 GMT] Because there's an information meeting about my new home, so I'll be away for at least 1 hour.

Sorry that I wasn't online, just got back from the Fitness club and Dinner.

I hope to see you all tonight, hang on there lads and May The Force Be With You All!

Server will DEFINATELY be up shortly...

==EDIT==

Server is running - please post if you CAN'T connect and I'll try and resolve any issues...

==EDIT #2==

Is anyone going to join at all - or is my server not broadcasting properly...?

==EDIT #3==

UGH, server running for 2+ hours and no-one is joining...doesn't anyone want to play! :'(

==FINAL EDIT==

@Obi_Wan - I'll leave the server running till @8:15PM GMT, just in case you make it back to join...

In light of me having server issues, and the fact that most of you guys are at work, I've decided to put a hold on the U.T. match till Saturday. ;)

That way we can get more players and I might also be able to work out WTF is going wrong with my U.T. server... ::)

Hopefully, everything will work out! :P

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 25.01.07 at 18:42:12
no prbs Paul, Saturday is indeed a better time for the lads that work during the week days Monday to Friday :)

heh I wonder how challenging it's gonna be battling against our own forum people LOL ;D

But will it be held on the same time?

or would you say all day till Noon?

hmm...a bit much for me - I'm not that good in U.T. (but I do like the occasional frag fest now and then...) ::)

A better question for me to ask is... ;)

What time (in GMT please) is best for everyone on Saturday? ???

[Starting / Ending times please]

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 25.01.07 at 23:25:23
hmm I'd say about 14:00PM +1 GMT so that would be 15:00PM in your country?

Post by gamma742 on 26.01.07 at 06:47:31
Hmm... Saturday 1400 GMT

I am GMT -8 so I guess that would be 0600 for me :-/

I better set the alarm clock ???

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 26.01.07 at 16:45:42
no it will be 07:00 AM for you I said 14:00 +1 GMT so in UK it's 15:00 PM not 14:00 PM :)

if that's too early for ya maybe like 10:00 AM for you a better time so that would be 18:00 PM GMT for UK & 19:00 +1 GMT for Netherlands


Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by paulpsomiadis on 27.01.07 at 00:59:59
@Obi_Wan - you have your time conversion backwards!

@14:00 in Holland (GMT +1)
@13:00 in U.K. (GMT)
@07:00 for gamma742 (GMT -8.)

So how about...

@18:00 in Holland
@17:00 in U.K.
@11:00 for gamma742

O.K. guys...

GOOD NEWS
=========

I'm back from shopping and the server will be up shortly...

BAD NEWS
========

I've been busy all week, so I haven't had time to resolve the hosting issues I had last time...

...worst case scenario - someone else may have to host if I can't get it to work...

==EDIT==

Seems I have port forwarding issues...

Please bear with me for 15 mins or so...

==EDIT 2==

UGH! I've tried EVERYTHING to check if my ports are being forwarded properly - no luck! :'(

I even disabled Windows Firewall (which 'should' open all ports) - but online and offline port scanners say ALL my ports are closed! >:(

WTF?!? :o

The thing is, they MUST be working, as Bittorrent says the ports I have configured on my router for that purpose are forwarded correctly...weird! :-/ :P

Bottom line - can someone else host for today and I'll see if I can even 'join' a game... :-[

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by jandarsun8 on 27.01.07 at 18:28:57
I've got a one meg up load, I can probably host it, what ports need to be opened? And what time is it there, it's currently 11:30 AM here (the time of post will be different).

I want to play!!  hehehe

ok, have no clue if this will work or not, IP address is 66.41.238.70. password is 3dfx. I'll be in game for a little bit. Got all standard maps, sorry guys.

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by paulpsomiadis on 27.01.07 at 18:31:33
It is currently 5:30PM here...

Ports to be opened are as follows...

(all are UDP & TCP at the same time)

7777, 8777, 9777, 27900, 7778, 7779, 8080

[according to "portforward.com"]

I have them configured on my router, but for some reason WinXP refuses to cooperate!

Please post again when you're ready @jandarsun8...

Ok, just opened up ports 7777 and 7778 from what I can see. Try it now. server name is 3dfx sever

Ok, just seen port listings, hang on a sec.

Opened up the rest of the ports


Anything yet?

There's like 50 thousand servers listed! good grief.

I'd like to join, but I can't get my hands  on Unreal Tournament GOTY 99, my friends don't have it no store is selling it...
Second prob is that my voodoo2 sli system doesn't have netcard in it(because voodoos took all pci slots) so I cannot join with it.
but luckily I have this Voodoo3 3000 system now wich have internet connection

but only prob is that I don't have UT GOTY99 or Quake3 (except demo)
are you sure that these games aren't free already.

The Quake 3 demo can be played on line if I remember right, that would make it very easy for everyone to play.

I'll look into it this morning.

heh that quake3 demo runs like hell on my X800XT PE with Motion Blur w00t! ;D

but yeah that would be fun, only it's a bit small, only 3 levels heh, unless it's possibe to add more maps?

Anyways I would prefer Unreal Tournament :) the openents look more realistic and it has the advantage of dodging :)

When is the next UT match Paul? it was fun, sorry I had to leave so soon my firends were watching the 3dfx fragfest, they really liked the idea :)

LOL glad it worked. yeah, i was a little less affected by lag :P   Was hoping it wasn't that bad for you guys though, i've got a meg upload but with locations and network bog down can see why it was happening. I'll try setting up my other machine as a dedicated server next time maybe and see if that helps.

Hopefully by next week I will also be able to have another machine running as a dedicated server... ;D

It's missing a wireless LAN card at the moment (one is in the post though!) ;)

Anyhow - next Sturday will be fine for another match, but a bit earlier on this time! ::)

Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 29.01.07 at 00:05:44
nah no Q3 for me thanx , I'll stick to UT and please this ais a UT topic, please keep it UT based. ::)

UT GOTYE 1999 also has more stable server setttings for a network setup and you can use the random map option also, something that is missing in Q3A.

in UT you can choose 3dfx Glide API, also a major difference.
But it's inderstandable that some of you's prefer the bleep bleep of Q3A

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by paulpsomiadis on 29.01.07 at 06:15:23
Yeah, but remember... ;)

Q3A + WickedGL = Happy 3Dfx card! ;D

It may not allow for GLiDE, but it doesn't have to make like nVidia... ::)

LOL! :D

@Mansfield - be sure that after installing you get all the latest patches, whether they are official or unofficial! ;)

hmm I prefer an ATi card in any game actually, because of the better Image Quallity lol, thanx to ther FSAA x6T3 setting which has the same image quallity as FSAA x18 ;) + AF x16 High Quallity lol, no NV SLI set can keep up with that qua image quallity.

ATi just has better boundries with Image Quallity.

Hey Paul There is a nice songle player + Co-Op mod for UT GOTYE 1999 as well.

it's called Operation Na Pali:

your not going wireless are you Paul? Just with my experience with wireless is it's great for netburst speed meaning checking emails and website and stuff but doing any constant data streaming, just doesn't work that well at all.

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by paulpsomiadis on 30.01.07 at 03:57:11
My router is combo - wireless/wired. ;)

D-Link DI-624 8)

I can have my main Athlon XP 3200+ as server (wired) :)

And my other backup machine (PIII 600) as wireless. ;)

I have to do this because my setup only allows for 4 wired devices. :P

LAN PORTS (on router)
================
1. Main PC (Athlon) - wired
2. Low power downloader PC (Cyrix MediaGX 233) - wired
3. XBOX - wired
4. PS2 - wired

WAN port - goes to cable modem

So my backup PC HAS to be wireless! ::)

Shouldn't have a problem with data loss though, as it's in the same room as the router. ;)

Also the router has a powered booster aerial on it. :D

We shall see... :P

(If it lags, I can always just play from my main rig instead of using it as a dedicated server) ;)

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 03.02.07 at 21:47:20
in Q3A the bots are less smart as in Q3A in Q3A they are much faster and smarter, Q3A has a better AI.

the fun of Q3A in general is that it's ultra fast and action packed, in UT, I personally miss that, UT is however more realistic it's because the bots look more human like as the weapons are more fun and the other nice thing is the dodging part.

all weapons in Q3A have a zoom function all weapons in UT have a secondary function as some have acombo function as well, which makes UT more fun qua weapons for different modes, if sniping is your thing then Q3A is the game for the sniper since all weapons have the zoon in feature.

Just scroll down to demos. Online play in demo version is possible also. There even exists a glide only demo, not sure of ver. # but a google search would turn it up. One level has some 3dfx graphics. Morpheus ?

@SuperBee - VERY good idea, I'll check into it later this week... ;)

As for 3Dfx stuff - been playing some practice matches in the most 'classic' way possible! :D

UT + Orchid Righteous 3d V1 4MB 8)

Still amazes me that these, the oldest 3Dfx cards - STILL look better for colours onscreen than a Radeon! ;D

Okay, it's slower and has more jaggies - but WOW! :o

heh yeah 3dfx Glide rocks in UT on any Voodoo w00t! ;D ;D ;D totally agree there, also why it looks much nicer than Quake3 too :)

So I made some nice V6K shots for ya Paul 8) , only I will compress the pics into .png files next time just for better compression, .jpeg isn't the best wat to compress heh :-X

Reso 1280 x 1024 x16 in Glide FSAA x8 LOD -8:

When will be the next match?

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by paulpsomiadis on 05.02.07 at 17:15:14
WHOA! Those shots look almost too sharp to be GLiDE - that's the V5 6K for ya'! 8)

Hmm...how about some shots of DM Gothic - that's a nice map (lots of coloured lights...) ;D

Next match is Saturday again...if anyone shows up! ::)

LOL! :D

Time = 15:30GMT and onwards till everyone has to leave... ;)

Server name may change if I use the DEMO version...but IP should remain the same... :)

@Obi - I can take some comparison shots of the Voodoo 1 if you like, which picture hosting website is best? ???

I hear that ImageShack is a bit CR@P now... :P

==edit==

More download mirrors for the demo...

http://www.3dgamers.com/games/unrealtourn/downloads/

If we use a DEMO, could evreryone DL the v348 (inc. the two small fixes)...this way we can get more players - even if not everyone can use 3Dfx cards. ::)

(I know it's better to use our Voodoo cards, but it's not always possible!) ;)

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 05.02.07 at 17:37:20
well The V6K is in the IKEA Table, since I had many intabillity problems with the 8K5A2+ motherboard, so I'm using an ASUS A7V333-R with the ASUS AX800XT PE AGP + 3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 PCI for now, but I can arrange 1600 x 1200 x16 shots with FSAA x4 with AmigaMerlin 3.1 R1 for ya with that level you requested no probs :) since it's a Napalm series card the effect of 1600 x 1200 x16 in Glide with FSAA x4 should be the same of that on a 6K with the same FSAA setting  hihi  :P

The OpenGL API for UT runs great on all ATi cards, no glitches nothing, with nVidia cards, I'd say use the Direct3D API, runs best on NV cards, and 3dfx, well you can use all 3 if you'd like, take Glide for best imagequallity as best performance :)

Well there was another hosting site somewhere, I know that imageshack is cr@ppy indeed at the moment, I'll have a peek around for ya.


This Saturday shouldn't be a problem.

Edit:

Here's a nice one Paul :)

All shots taken @ 640x480 - then +40 brightness and converted to JPEG.

@Gary - have you noticed that the screenshot function of UT sometimes doesn't capture all of the effects the Voodoo cards are capable of... ::)

e.g. you CAN see coronas in one of my early shots on the lanterns... :)

...but they are missing from the other shots! :P

Also, would it be possible to get some (camera based) shots from the Heavy Metal Hg of some of these maps. :D

I know it's a PITA since the only way to see the HM Hg is to use a camera  - but the results would TRULY kick A$$! 8)
(again though, the UT shot function doesn't capture what you 'see' onscreen) ::)

nah just enable FSAA x8S & AF x16 HQ that should slowdown the game alot, @ least it works fine on my CrossFire setup with FSAA x14 & AF x16HQ & X800XT PE AGP with FSAA x6T3 & AF x16HQ :)

so your GeForce 7or 8 series should do fine with FSAA x8S & AF x16HQ and when you have a SLI set use the FSAA x16 setting or x32SLI setting if you have a Quad SLI setup.

render the game in OpenGL API that runs best on ATI's as NV cards, you could also use your 5500 PCI for the game in glide ;)

Hhe I have been digging around my games and found my favourite UT engine based game aka Tactical Ops: Assult On Terror :)

@ Paulpsomiadis

My Voodoo 5 5500 PCI 64MB Rev.A1 2900 is on standby, though I prefer the original UT GOTYE 1999 with no mods, mods make the game somewhat less fun, unless you'd like to CO-Op then I'd say use the Operation Na Pali mod, that's one of the best mod's I've seen up to date.

I dunno what your unreal mod does, I just hope it doen't mess up my large UT game file.

I'm just using the retail version 4.36 no unofficial patches here on my rig, since they create instabillity problems here.

Norries I'll keep it updated, if you have installed an unofficial patch , then I'd say reinstall UT without that patch, which may cause the instabillity problems ;)

What you do is go into the UnrealTournament/System folder and either delete or move (out of that folder) the de.u and de.int files. Then you will download them off of the server and have the correct versions.

Rocket launcher ust be included ::) come on it would be gay with out a Rocket launce it's that if you can dodge missles or not simple and plain.

Just keep out the redeemer keep in the Rocket Launcher.

So I must see it this way, you are removing normal weapons as well because you fee beaten from me?? oh come on please.

Really to play with those weapons is to learn how to use them, remember that UT is a game where skills come to play, if you don't use your skills you will simpply fail your tactics.

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by paulpsomiadis on 18.02.07 at 04:07:52
I'm removing them because you KEEP using them constantly! Learn a better strategy that doesn't involve rockets all the time! ::)

@ Paulpsomiadis,

It's so ghey to remove default weapons, just because you can't win ::)

@ Gamma 742

Time for a game of Descent 3 heh I'd bet we would make a good team ;)

The weapons are there to use if it's a minigun or a Rocketlauncher, If I like using the Rocket Launcher as my favourite I will use it, then I would advise you 3 things:

A Stop whining like a pleeb
B Practice more and start dodging my rockets
C it's for the player to decide what to use in a level/map

If you keep lecturing me like this, it's a typical ghey like behaviour, a real UT player desides what he/she or it uses.

A normal UT player would practice more by dodging my missles ::) a chicken would just deactivate that weapon or just run away.

I'll just look for better servers with Rocket launchers like Rocket Arena for example.

NO - I think you'll find that it's the server that decides the rules. ::)

You have to remember that different U.T. servers have different rules - FACT! ;)

I have been on servers that only allow certain weapons / powerups...and it's STILL fun! ;D

It's just like in Quake where people who over-use the Quaddamage are called "Quad-wh0re" for a reason... ::)

Post by Komponent on 18.02.07 at 21:57:11
I face the hard facts: I for one suck big time at U.T. play, but I joyned Paul's server last times anyway; I have played just for the fun of that great game and for the best company, the friends from this forum (something like going out for a beer with your mates in week-end, but because we are from all over the world, the a game-party will be fine enough...).
Now, if the rocket launcher would be banned from Paul's server next time, I would still most certainly claim the last place anyway, and Obi is so expert at this that he will still have a big chance to win yet another time, so I see no reason to argue about it; it would be something new than last time, but often new is better. Remember, we played U.T. Demo last week, then U.T. Retail this time, so I have nothing against new rules for next week-end. And Obi has showed the level at he is mastering the gameplay so it would be no problem for him to addapt; I guess it is all and only about principles here, right? If I understood correctly, no rocket launchers equals longer "frags" (it takes more time to kill someone), right?
Remember, it is only a game and it should not be played only for winning, but for the fun especialy (I should know, I had 10 time less frags than Paul or Obi, he-he, so why am I still doing it...).
Godspeed!

Nah it's not about adapting , heh the flak cannon is my next big thing it's even more dangerous as well ;D

heh I even have to suffer lag while gaming , which isn't easy as it may seem too ;)

it's just a matter of playing, the most obvious thing I have seen on Mega LAN's with like 400 to 1200 people is that they always keep in the default weapons, the rocket Launcher is a default weapen the Redeemer is not, and imho that's a ghey weapon, I suppose it should be banned from the entire UT series.

but to ban the Rocket Launcher is pure nonsense, it's a handy tool as well, it's something that should stay, just practice and practice, my friends here oin town PWN me with ease heh, they train in Godlike mode have spreads of + 30 to +50 with ease, I really show no chance of survival there.

if you want to be a good and loyal player as server runner keep in all standard weapons so everyone has thier favours.
if you loose so many battles don't see the Darkside in that, all you have to do is keep practicing your skills thereby it's the only way for a victorious ending.

Anyways my appologies for my rough reactions back there Paulpsomiadis, it just got a little outa hand because it felt kinda aimed at me again. :-/

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by paulpsomiadis on 19.02.07 at 00:05:49
The new rules are mostly for the sake of @Komponent - he has not had much practice... ;)

...so by eliminating the 'insta-kill' weapons like the Redeemer and Rocket Launcher, it will mean it's harder to frag people who have just respawned. ;D

It's a TEST, if I get a good response from players - the rules stay - if not then they don't! :D

It's that simple! :)

@Obi_Wan - WOW! That's odd, the Flak Cannon is also my favourite! 8)

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 19.02.07 at 00:39:35
hmm I 'm still in for the rocket launcher heh that will never change.

Since it was like my idea to start a topic about this, I would rather have the Rocket Launcher been kept in the game, really a Flak Cannon is much more dangerous.

So to make things fair:

You keep your favouite weapon I keep mine simple and plain, if not I will find another server cheers.

I used to play UNREAL with my daughter (Co-op) and we had a great time when UT came out I bought it hoping there would be some single/co-op mode levels. My daughter didn't like the fact that her Daddy was trying to kill her. Needless to say, I only played the game against the bots as I only had dial-up at the time. It didn't take long before I got bored with it and put the game away and started playing Quake II.

Then I heard about a single player map, something like Return to Nepali not sure. I downloaded it and started playing it. Finally enjoying the game I bought what 8 years ago??

I'll try to get it running on my 98SE 500MHz Voodoo2 machine. I know I'm not any good at Anarchy mode (Descent terminology) but I'll try. It will be good to hang out with my friends anyway. Maybe I'll let my ol' lady start out to sort of test the waters for me ::) I spent too much time on Descent which makes her sick. She does better on FPS games. I do better when I drive or fly.

Hey, thanks Paul, it is very nice of you to have thought this way, but, please, do not stand for me, It is realy not necesary, because as I did say earlyer on this topic, no instant-kill weapons rules most sure will not make a difference for my final number of points (frags) at the end of the game. I play for fun and I will play again with you, what-ever rules might apply in the future games. I used to do better way back in the past, but in the whole year 2006 and until this month I have not played U.T. or other shooter more than a couple of hours, plus that now I only have a crap of a old mouse with ball, because my optical one died along with my former mainboard, so now if I still can do arround 5 kills I'm happy enough. I know that I could get better only by more practice, but to be fair, U.T. is not the game that I like so much, I am more into car/moto-racing driving games, as for shooters I like the most the Delta-Force series. This are no way excuses, but I play U.T. only because it is to fight against you, the loyal 3DFX fans that I respect alot.
I have to admit though that I would like better longer life-spans and with instant kill weapons it gets difficult for me to survive more, but, hey, if that is the way the game works, please do not change it for the only reason to give me better chances. Well, the redeemer... I do not like it, but the rocket launchers allthough deadly it looks like a fair weapon, as I saw experienced players like Paul and Obi could indeed dodge in time.
What I allmost hate is the low gravity! I cannot keep enough controll... I know, I know, practice, practice...
So please agree on a set of rules guys and I will still be there!

well this is [b]exactly what I was aiming at, the redeemer is indeed a ghey weapon, that weapon should be expelled from any type of RTS game, but like you said about the Rocket Launcher is true all the way, and indeed Paul made lot's of usage of that weapon like I did, and yeaps we both had our collisions there ;)

I will agree that the redeemer will be expelled which is an obvious rule, but to expel the Rocket Launcher is something totally rediculous since there are more dangerous weapons that a Rocket Launcher it's self, look deeper on what you can use and how to use instead of the number of the weapon it's self.

@ Paulpsomiadis

Let The Force Clear your mind and then make good sensible use of it, instead of removing default weapons there by running away from the problem, that's a loser's tactic.

For those who want to take part tomorrow, I found some useful stuff... ;)

Alchemy CTF Map

Cached File Manager

http://files.filefront.com/SEARCH/;1969922;;/fileinfo.html

Package Exchanger

http://files.filefront.com/SEARCH/;1405766;;/fileinfo.html

I'll also be running ZeroPing to improve performance for those experiencing LAG...

http://zeroping.home.att.net/download.html

Server is the usual IP and stuff...

Server name: 3Dfx_GPP
Server IP: 82.39.33.51
Pass: voodoo

Those getting the "version de mismatch" do the following... ;)

What you do is go into the UnrealTournament/System folder and either delete or move (out of that folder) the de.u and de.int files. Then you will download them off of the server and have the correct versions.  

MUTATORS on my server

Zeroping - helps reduce lag
No Redeemer - does what it says
Instant rockets - no MULTI rocket shooting

See you all tomorrow @15:00GMT ;D

(If we can get four players, there will be CTF too...) 8)

Stuff you might not know about U.T. ;D

Redeemer message:
Get a Redeemer(warhead launcher) then fire a missile with the Left Mouse Button. Quickly enable the playersonly code and move to the missile. You can see the message "Adios" on the missile. Note: You may need to enable the 32 bit Revolution option to see this.

Smiley face on bomb:
Enable the loaded code to get all of the weapons. Then, enable the playersonly code to stop time. Next, select the flak cannon. Walk up to an enemy and press the Right Mouse Button to use the bomb-like shot. Look very closely at the bomb as it hovers in midair. You will be able to make out a small smiley face icon inside the shot.

For those of you who were getting some LAG whilst in my server - this 'should' be fixed now... ;)

...this was because my 3Dfx rig uses a wireless card. ::)

I had bought it second hand off eBay (as usual) - but what I didn't know was that it was BROKEN!!! :o

I checked the PCB of the wireless card and it was missing a capacitor (had gotten knocked off...) :P

So I replaced it and - WOWZAH! ;D

Signal strength EXCELLENT 54MBps - all of the time now! 8)

hi all just got back, well I kinda made UT GOTYE 1999 relived today after 7 years no play :)

and everybody used their GeForce 6800's as Radeon X1900, X800's and I was the only with the 3dfx pride ;D

3dfx Voodoo 5 5500 PCI Macintosh 64MB Rev.A1 3100 in 3dfx Glide API w00t, and they all asked my why does UT 1999 look better on my Voodoo hahah I loved that when they asked me that, I told them that 3dfx is superior to all new gen cards in this game, since it was designed for 3dfx Glide API :)

OpenGL as D3D looked ugly compared to 3dfx Glide.

the X2 4400+ system gave the 5500 PCI macintosh some great speed advantages, UT GOTYE 1999 ran fluid @ 1280 x 1024 x 16 in Glide API with FSAA x2 & LOD Bias @ -4, I had an average 47 frames per sec :) I started the game in 98SE compabillity mode, otherwise the 5500 has problems with the X2 4400+ CPU, dualcore doesn't like UT GOTYE 1999 either on NV as ATi newgen cards either.

3dfx just rulezz all teh way man ;D

@Obi_Wan - glad you had fun mate! 8)

@gamma742 - what happened to you? I saw you on my server when I was having lunch - but you left before I could finish my food... ???

@everyone else - I left a clue in a VERY old forum thread as to what I'm going to do when I upgrade my 3Dfx rig... ;)

...you can search and make a guess if you like...it will be cool - oh yes! 8)

This Saturday the next game Paulpsomiadis?

we could do a Co-Op of Unreal ver 2.26 Final  ;D might eb a nice idea 8) or Unreal Mission Pack Return To Na Pali.

If you'd liek to stick to Unreal Tounament Game Of The Year Edition there is Operation Na Pali as well which also supports Co-Op mode :)

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by paulpsomiadis on 05.03.07 at 17:35:02
I don't have the original Unreal installed - I just use OLDSKOOL and integrate Unreal into U.T. ;D

But if co-op won't work with that, we can do Op.-Napali anyhow... ;)

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 05.03.07 at 18:17:21
yeah that would be very cool :) Operation Na Pali looks great too even the comentary the player does is funny haha

"Heeeyyyy who's that ugly son of a b*tch! Ahh F*ck it's me!!" hahaha ;D ;D ;D

No Problems Paul, sorry for this late post, I was needed at a mates place today, we had to bring some Mitsubishi Colt GTi parts to Rotterdam today.

And we were upgrading this Colt GTi CAO with Mitsubishi LiberoGT 1.8Liter 205bhp turbo engine, Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T gearbox & Eclipse GS-T Driveshafts ready for it's first testdrive:


So that are my reasons for not showing up ;)

Till next week 8)

Post by paulpsomiadis on 17.03.07 at 15:27:46
Sorry guys, gonna' have to postpone the co-op AGAIN this week...

1) It's St. Patricks Day - don't get TOO drunk now people!

2) My USA copy of "God of War 2" arrived in the post this morning...

Either way, I'll be rather busy today!

Till next week then...

Post by paulpsomiadis on 24.03.07 at 01:08:58
Yeah, I hate to disappoint you guys yet AGAIN, but it's necessary... ::)

This weekend is the final few days befor I ahnd in my portfolio for University...so I'll be working hard. :'(

Next week is the end of term and the Easter Holidays...so everything will DEFINATELY be back to normal. ;)

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by paulpsomiadis on 31.03.07 at 00:54:27
My University work is DONE! ;D

Handed in my portfolio on Wednesday... 8)

So this week - CONFIRMED, we WILL be playing CO-OP. ;)

Also, I'm changing the rules of how this will work from now on... :)

1. Server rules will remain the same
(people seemed to like what I had last time, so there's no reason to change it) ::)

2. Those wishing to have a game of U.T. should post in the thread on the FRIDAY before. ;)
(or latest Saturday morning)
Why? Well, it's like this... ???

...unless I know that there are people going to join the U.T. server, it's pointless having it running! ::)

3. Gametype requests - yep! I'm opening up the server to game type requests! ;D

Type of game, maps, custom mods... 8)

...request them and I'll do my best to accomodate you guys! ;)

(the only thing that WILL stay the same is the server rules) :P

Anyhow, I'll have some news on my Wildcat 4210 GFX project soon... ;)

...all I'll say for now is that it's WORKING and testing is underway! 8)

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by gamma742 on 31.03.07 at 04:29:38
Here in the states they changed "day light saving"  ::)

I'm not sure if the rest of the world does this or not.

Can someone tell me what time as we're a bit screwed up over here :-X

Please tell me what time in GMT so I know what time to set my alarm ???


Thanks guys :) I'm really looking forward to it ;D

what shall we play this upcomming Saturday?

Unreal : Return To Na Pali Co-Op
or
Unreal Tournament Game Of The Year Edition with Operation Na Pali Mod 1.30 Co-Op

???

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by gamma742 on 18.04.07 at 01:13:35
I don't have Unreal : Return To Na Pali Co-Op  

But I do have Unreal Tournament Game Of The Year Edition with Operation Na Pali Mod 1.30 Co-Op

I heard "Operation..." was better than "Return..." and the price for "Operation..." was a FREE download ;D

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 18.04.07 at 01:14:52
yeah that would be very optional too since it's a free mod to download it's also easier for everyone to access :)! cool ;D

I hope we can play some time soon, it has been along time  :'(

Sorry for not hosting a game for a LOOOOONG time guys... ::)

I've had a few important modding projects on my hands to get finished... :P

...including my BRAND NEW XBOX 360 Premium, which I modded recently... 8)

Also note that after next month - I may not be hosting as frequently anyhow....why? ???

XBOX LIVE... ;D

...nuff said!  :)

Do let me remind you that in this topic there are 3dfx fans awaiting for a 3dfx based Unreal Tournament match and not a some silly X-Box presentation.

Sorry but'm Anti-Console  why? because they can't even run Glide ::)

I suppose I might as well host a game then ...

Unless you can turn away from the Dark Side Paulpsomiadis ...

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by paulpsomiadis on 22.04.07 at 01:22:56
LOL! No worries @Obi_Wan - it's not like I haven't owned games consoles before... ::)

I have a collection of MANY consoles, it's just that many of my friends (worldwide) are on XBOX LIVE. ;)

So it also keeps me in touch with them - which is the 'other' reason for this. ;D

BTW - I am aware what this topic is for, I just thought you guys should know WHY I haven't been hosting games... :P

...and at least it's an XBOX 360 with an ATI chip inside... ;)

...and NOT a PS3 with nVidia GPU! :o

Anyhow, if you want to host - please go ahead
(as long as there are players, might as well...) ;)

Title: Re: The Unreal Tournament 3dfx meeting Topic
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 22.04.07 at 11:42:40
heh yeah true the ATi R500 Xenos if not mistaken heh norries bout my previous post was a bit odd there LoooL ::)

Okay to be very honest if I would choose a Console I would pick the Nintendo Wii aka Nintendo Revolution it's the cheapest out there with the best gameplay style, which it would be all about and yes it also has the R500 Xenos like the 360 does have 8)

Oh well I won't be online much theupcomming weeks because of my new home, so maybe it's only good that you aren't running the server in the first place heh ;)
