Title: UT99 Server
Post by: Kuroneko on September 01, 2007, 06:22:04 PM
Didn't we have one?  I feel like playing a game some time over the weekend with some real people xD

No. If we did fuck yeah bring it back. I play the game all the time.

If you want, you can play BT (BunnyTrack, a type of CTF) with me on my clan server:

8.9.6.211:7777

or you can play on another server I play on that's almost always populated:

209.40.96.164

My name in the game is VRN|VerTex^2.

But yeah everyone should get UT99. Definitely a classic and I honestly think it's better than 04.

Yeah, I thought '04 was disappointing.

You have some free time now?  I'm ready to play, I was just playing some big 16 vs 16 bot games at Facing Worlds with the instagib.  Really fun but I dunno if you can use addbots during netplay.

EDIT 3: Wow i've been playing some of this stuff and DAMN i suck at it :o

EDIT: My username's Ayria in UT99 btw.

EDIT 2: okay, I connected.  But my character is getting set to some ugly assed dude instead of Sniper Wolf.  Wtf.

EDIT: You're gone...ugh :/.

Yeah I got tired and went to bed... :[

I'll probably be on the one that's populated more often, off and on, today.  209.40.96.164 I guess.

also somebody put the sniperwolf skin on the servers so i stop getting changed to hugh or whatever plz ;(

edit 2: is there a way to make the maps that are downloaded for netplay permanently go into your maps/tiles/sounds directories?

edit 3: okay wtf 8.9.6.211 has some gay hard fucking castle map going and 209.40.96.164 is refusing my connection, i'll try again in about an hour

I just tried to go into 8.9.6.211 and the lego fortress thing or whatever crashed my comptuer :[
Title: Re: UT99 Server
Post by: Milk Chan on September 02, 2007, 03:42:39 PM
It's Face at the moment.

I was just on 8.9.6.211

and the reason connection refused for the other server was because the slots were full.

8.9.6.211

wtf ip. is ut99 free, "free", or do I need to buy it? (I'll be damned to find a place that would sell it other than online)
Title: Re: UT99 Server
Post by: Milk Chan on September 02, 2007, 05:54:51 PM
If you download it it's free. Then there's some patches you have to get.

PS Kuroneko im getting on right now...8.9.6.211
Title: Re: UT99 Server
Post by: Kuroneko on September 02, 2007, 05:56:15 PM
"free"
You can probably find a good torrent package.  Try to get something with an iso of the CD and all of the bonus and update packages.  Oh, also, somebody put the sniperwolf model and skins on those servers plz, as well as the solid snake model and all of the good legomen that you find, because those skins and models are seriously the shit :frostyangel:

edit: i'm done for the night.  that 1x1 was fun
Title: Re: UT99 Server
Post by: Milk Chan on September 03, 2007, 04:16:31 AM
Yeah, would've gone more than one round, but the next maps was 9 megs and was taking ages to download.

While on the topic, we need to get more people playing the Quake 3 Arena demo, because I need more railgun fodder.

Yeah well it's a real game, that I'd have to take the effort to pirate. Q3A is essentially the same gameplay, for no money.
Title: Re: UT99 Server

Not really...Q3A plays far different from UT.  Also, Q3A demo? D:  Needs moar full version.

UT's game types are also far more interesting and the ability to use mutators to extend the game in small ways is a breath of fresh air.

wtf ip. is ut99 free, "free", or do I need to buy it? (I'll be damned to find a place that would sell it other than online)

It's commercial but the latest version has no copy protection to speak of.  Unlike Q3A retail, CD key protection isn't employed.

I meant that in a loose sense, they're both fast-paced competetive deathmatch games. I guess I'll take a look for a torrent of ut99. I've got 2k4, but apparently you guys don't care for that.

I'd pick up a copy of the real version of quake 3, but I've got quake 4, and they play similarly enough for me to not have a major preference between them. I do prefer Q4's greater weapon variety, though. The nailgun and grenade launcher particularly.

Bemaniso has it up, but, well...obviously not everyone is a member there :/


I'll try and find another torrent of it with no-cd, then i'll give the links to the patches and whatnot.

If you can find a good one, AIM me or something. I'd try to get a Bemaniso membership, but I hate most of the people there :x

All you have to do is have a ratio of 0.4 in 14 days, and you need an invite. I'm a few points shrt of being able to do so.

After that your ratio can go as low as you want.

I like UT2K4 as well, but we're probably in the minority.  About the only thing that I didn't like about 2K4 is the lack of assault maps because I'm an assault whore.

The way I look at it, UT2K3 and 2K4 play more like Quake games than UT99.  UT99 plays more like Unreal, a bit slower paced (though unlike Unreal, the weapons in UT actually do damage ;)).

Post by: Ulti on September 06, 2007, 01:13:36 PM
Yeah, assault maps kick ass. I never really pubbed much when I played UT, I just played with friends, because people would generally mop the floor with me. I never really got used to the dodging system and such, I tend to just bunny hop around.
Title: Re: UT99 Server
Post by: Milk Chan on September 06, 2007, 06:13:58 PM
If you don't like dodging you would hate CTF-BT maps.

Assault is pretty fun. My favorite assault map is Hispeed. My rec on conquering the base on that map is 0:42.

I remember somebody complaining about not being able to change the dodge button press speed in UT99 but I'm too lazy to find the post... I found the option, I think.  Open User.ini, find "[Engine.PlayerPawn]" and change DodgeClickTime.  No idea why they didn't put it in the final preferences menu.

I think I was the whiner, and thanks for the tip. :)

I wish I knew why they left it out of the options menu as well...seems kind of odd to me.

Type "preferences" in the console and you'll see exactly how many options they left out of the options menu xD

Actually, most of those options could harm the game if inproperly changed, which is why they got hidden.  But, yeah, if you look in UnrealTournament.ini or User.ini you can find a bunch of fun stuff that you couldn't edit normally... you can change what default character you play as in tournament mode, make yourself the champion with absolutely no work, etc.  Lots of fun stuff to play with.

Yeah, I've taken a look at UT.ini a few times in my pursuit for tweaking the video driver.  I love how you can unlock Xan with a whopping one line in one of those files.

Hehe, yes.  I use UT.ini and User.ini a lot to change game rules and find variables that I need to use in MapVoteLA113.
