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

[Spectere]

Odds are, we'd wind up playing on one team and the bots would be playing on the other team, so that probably won't even be necessary.

[Bobbias]

Good point. Also, this can kinda go in the Vista tips thread too, but anyone who has trouble using the mouse scroll wheel in Diablo 2, I found a fix:

You set the shortcut to run in compatibility mode for Windows 98. I also had to go to the settings in game and set my scroll wheel up and down to scroll through my hotkeyed skills, since it wasn't set right.

[Sneaky]

So I've got D2/LoD installed and patched [i think], and ut99 is installed and ready to go. Now I play the waiting game *shifts eyes*

[Bobbias]

The easiest way to check if your D2 is patched: start it up, and in the main menu, there's a little version number on the left side most of the way down the screen. A fully patched D2 is version 1.12.

I still need to install ut99 :/

Checkliste de la Kuroneko

- Get D2
- Install D2
- Learn how to play D2
- Reinstall Ventrillo or wut ev
- Obtain headset because my mic totally sux
- Get like 500 Monsters amirite

so yeah.  D2/LoD and v1.12

[Bobbias]

Also, just installed ut99, so aside from getting any other maps we may want to play in advance (so I can test them out, and learn the level a bit, and get some practice fragging the fuck out of bots) there's not much left. I also have vent now.

[MortifiedocAlot]

So my UT99 is stuck at 99.8% done, and I'm not sure how to update my D2. Halp.

If you're only missing a couple complete files in your UT99, I could hook you up with them?

also all I'm missing is headset now

so we're

Spectere - Ready?
Bobbias - Ready?
MortifiedocAlot - incomplete UT99
Sneaky - Ready!
Rowan - Optional Headset (suggestions for brand/type?) but Ready!
Omega - ??!??1?!?1!?!/

[MortifiedocAlot]

Well thanks to Rowan, I am now fully and ready for D2. Now we just have to wait for the gods to grant me the rest of UT 99.

[Bobbias]

Have you tried looking for an identical torrent of it someplace else? Some torrents get uploaded to a number of independent trackers, but are all identical. If that's the case, you can actually add that torrent, and uTorrent at least, will know it's identical and ask to add the trackers listed in that torrent file. Of course, you could always make sure you get a reliable torrent by using TPB, or isohunt and making sure it says the torrent has seeders.

[MortifiedocAlot]

Can't say that I have, but I'll try it. Also when I went looking for files last time it seemed like this was the only half decent one.

Also my mic should be working now, apparently the windows default setting for it was REALLY low.

[cristian989]

I don't know If you guys pulled this off yet, but I'd be interested in playing.

[Bobbias]

Still haven't done it, so you're welcome to join.

[MortifiedocAlot]

Bump for another game suggestion.

http://www.tribesnext.com/

Yeah, tribes 2 download plus an online client. Also bump because I want to see this happen.

[Sneaky]

Tribes 2 is still alive? Jesus bloody asscorn I still have my original box/CD and shit, the updater [or update download from filefuck] never worked!  Guess I should have looked harder.. This was my first online shooter, and I played it for as long as our clan lasted which was probably a solid 2 years. Man it's been a while, I'd love to play that with people on here.

Oh this is also where the name Sneaky generated from too!   My original name [for some reason] was sneaky_gunluvr, so people started calling me sneaky and I just changed it to that instead.

fuck yes fuck yes play this now
