uhmm well..

Post by Alcoholodeck16 »

here i am!
I'm Alcoholodeck16 (Alcohol and Deck16 the two things i like the most :D ) , 30, from Germany - sorry i might be a bit rusty when it comes to english
Usually i don't introduce myself when joining some forums. But this seems like a nice lil place for the game i love so i thought it can't hurt.

UT99 is the first game i played online and although i really love UT i stopped playing it for years.
However i tried to get back into the game by installing UT2004 some months ago when i heard UT4 is in development, but tbh i never liked and i still don't like it as much as 99. After some research i found out that UT99 still seems to be alive and thats how i came (back) to 99. After some tweakin i started to play some games on a deck16 server and -WOW- i was blown away how much fun this game still is, even though i suck so bad at it. Me dooing shock combos? I don't think so, headshots? More like spray and pray, dodge? im a pro dodger ( as long as i don't have to do them forward or backwards..)
Now to be honest, basically im here because i have some "general" questions i might ask later (like what do i need? Are there map packs or mods i should get? And whats the best way to play this game with modern settings like FullHD and still beeing able to "compete").
But i'll try to become an active member here.

You won't "need" anything except the latest patch, but this is Unreal! What you "need" is irrelevant compared to what exists and what you want. We'll see what happens when you have a hundred mods, thousands of maps, mutators and skins installed in your 40Go UnrealTournament folder!
Welcome :D
You must construct additional pylons.

Don't read it in English this sounds pervy ...in German sounds the E more like an A like in "hallo", and the A sounds like an U like in "us"... Seemann means sailor in German :wink: literally man of the see.

In English the word you're describing is seaman, though it sounds the same as the other thing so even that gets razzed from time to time.

Well hello Alcoholodeck16.
I was asked to compile a list / collection for fresh install on a modern beast, so I broke it into 3 categories
1. What do I need to update first ?
2. What will improve UT99 ?
3. Pimp my game

Let me know if you find any dead links.

At the top of the forum here, you will see a link "Tweak Your UT Graphics To The Maximum!". This is Raynor's definitive guide to tweaking the new renderers.

Also you may find UT2004 more enjoyable with Chaos and a few other mods
