Annual "We Should Have An S.Net UT99 Online Battle" Thread

[Bobbias]

My mic just broke, and it pisses me off. I know how much easier it is to play with a mic, but I'd probably talk so much I'd get kicked from the average pub. I can't help but bark orders at an unorganized team.

Well, we're talking about setting up our own small 8-man vent server, which wouldn't be public. I'm not a fan of public servers for stuff like vent.

I would get D2 but I don't feel like dropping $40 for the battle chest.

[Bobbias]

There are other ways to obtain a PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE copy...

We won't be playing on B-net anyway, so that wouldn't factor into things.

O do own the D2 CDs, however, they are too scratched to work, and god only knows where my case even is at this point, so I have to resort to other means.

[MortifiedocAlot]

Hell, I still need to obtain a copy of UT99.

In other news, are we going to wait until thanksgiving break in order to kick this off or what?

Also I just tested my mic in css and it worked (but rather quietly). I guess it's some sort of error in cod4, not sure.

[Bobbias]

If we're using Vent, you have 2 volume controls. How loud you are, and how loud the other people are.

So you may be able to boost the volume there. If not, check in the windows volume stuff. There should be an option somewhere to boost the mic volume by 20 dB.

Pfft, that's okay.  When I moved to Maryland the first time I misplaced my D2 LOD disc.  I had the sleeve but not the disc itself.  Having a key and no disc is kind of a bummer.  Thank goodness for ThePERFECTLYLEGITIMATEPLACEFORGETTINGSTUFFBay.org.

True to form, I found my pressed CD the day after I installed it, but kept the ISO around so I didn't have to find a crack.  Not like that's an issue now that the latest patch is out, of course.

Do you know if Vent lets you use alternate output and input devices?  I have a headset that has both a mono speaker and a mic and would like to try to use that for chatting, since it bugs me when people's voices get mixed in with the normal game sounds.

If not I'll just use my laptop as a designated communications device.

[Bobbias]

Yep, though I did mine a slightly different way, using the rear speakers out, since my headset had stereo in and a mic out separate.



Also, I've got UT and D2 now, though not installed yet.

[Spectere]

Ah, nice.  I'll have to install that and get it set up, if nothing else just to make sure that my POS headset actually still works. ;P

[Bobbias]

Lol, I'll need to get my brother's mic and headphones when we want to do this. Also, I'll need to remember not to forget my mouse at my girlfriend's place :/

That, and I'll need to install both games UT99 before then. (and patch D2 up :/)

Instructions for Diablo2:

1. Open D2
2. Create character
3. Walk outside of town.
4. Kill shit.
5. Loot items.
6. Level up.
7. Distribute stats/skills.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7.

(To walk, you left click somewhere, to keep walking towards the cursor, just hold down the left click. To kill shit, just left click and hold it down until the monster is dead, or use skills with right click.)

sounds like an MMORPG Jr.

Somewhat, but it's a lot less tedious. Plus it's not just click and wait combat.

- Volatile Ammo
- UT '03 Double Jump

No and hell no.

If we do UT99, AS-Bridge is definitely going to be in the rotation.  That map is amazing.  We'd have to play against bots, no doubt, but it would totally be worth it.

Butt ur cool wit da otha 1s?  MapVote LA 1.3 lets you vote for shiz between games instead of having the server randomly select (it randomly selects if the time runs out though); its the first mod I slap onto shit after installing :U

fuck I don't remember AS-Bridge, is that the one where you have to go around and open shit up and then go in and blow up a crystal or some shit

[Spectere]

Butt ur cool wit da otha 1s?

We'll see.

MapVote is a definite.  I'll have to look into the other ones.  I don't really know about the grappling hook, that could potentially prove to be worse than the translocator.

No.

It's an excellent third-party assault map that requires you to blow up a bridge.  The thing is massive, the bots are great at it, and it's seriously one of the best assault maps I've played.
