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

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.

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.

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!

New rules will remain in place as a TEST for those who want to play this weekend.

I'm done with this 'discussion'...

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

Alchemy CTF Map

Cached File Manager

Package Exchanger

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

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

Stuff you might not know about U.T.

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.

Booting the U.T. server right now!

Will be up and running shortly after 15:00GMT... 8)

==edit==

Server is UP!

Let's GO! 8)

Where is everyone? ???

I've been in the server for like 5 minutes? ???

@Komponent - don't worry, I can host another game @18:00GMT if you'd like!
