Pretty cool, found these by accident. Basically you an put them on maps, name (so they don't show up as "Player" with numbers) them, and skin them... if you've got skins for the Unreal1 models.

Just the human models, there's no Skaarj NPC unfortunately.

Ideal for standard Deathmatch, there doesn't appear to be a way to assign them to teams like the UTDMW/UTDMT.

Would love to use these on a gametype, where players are forced into these unreal skins.

Not quite the same thing, and if you could force players to use these Unreal models that would be something separate from this.

As to game types, these are really not designed for team games as you can't assign them to a team. By default they'd show up on the scoreboard as being on the Gold Team but they wouldn't actually be playing on it, attacking those on the Gold Team as much as they'd attack anyone else. Although I suppose they could be configured to play on a team by coding or something.

Their current setup options are limited, mostly just skinning and being given an actual name.

Ah i understand.
My goal would be, to be able to use these in online coop, or online DM/CTF matches with unreal weapons on them indeed.
Would make the experience cool complete

Yes, these are the kind of thing used by Jeff Martin in his Bladerunner map for Roy Batty and in the Westworld map for the gunslinger (plus in a couple of other maps of his).

Matrix maps too, there's about a dozen of these.

I think UnrealModels1.u has some 'Unreal' Bots for UT99 (as well as a number of TournamentPlayers). There's also UnPlayers1.01 (uploaded by Leo on this forum I think) - it has a variety of Unreal characters (StoneWoman, Wizard, PostalGuy plus others) as UT Bots and Players. Perhaps these would suit your requirements?

Thanks, will go on the hunt!

[edit]
I see it's requested here as well
viewtopic.php?t=4009
VA gives problems with the current newnet setup (Freezing death animations), so that's a nogo sadly.
Will look further into oldskoolamp'dfull, i assume it adds more features on SP, then online sessions.

To save you a bit of time, here's the UnrealModels The other I can put together if you can't find it, it's just that I've used some of the models and their skins so they're scattered in different folders - it would just take a short while to find them all and zip them up.

Interesting.

So I edited a map with a Skaarj on it and then went into play it so I could check it out but I couldn't find it; even dragged in a radar. What I did notice was that I couldn't use spectator mode and I was forced into that same Skaarj form.

So, placing an Unreal1Models Skaarj on the map forces all players to be in that same form... and won't let them hide in spectator mode.

Reason I look like that is because that's the same skin I was using but from a different model.

The Unreal1Models are all Botpack.TournamentPlayers (the UnrealI Player models 'converted' to UT) - they're something to be played as rather than to be put in a map.

Looking at the .u file, I see I was wrong about there being any Bots as all the models are TournamentPlayers although the .int does suggest there are Bots.

This is a general test map I use for things (can't do everything on HallOfGiants) so I set it up with 1 Skaarj.

· Putting a Skaarj on the map forces Human Players to use that model, regardless whatever they're setup with.
· It forces Human Players to play, can't use spectator mode.
· Curiously it doesn't seem to have any impact on bots.

At this time I don't know what happens if you place another character on the map at the same time. Does putting 2 or 3 different things from u1m have a more diversified effect or what??

I think what you are basically doing when you put the TournamentSkTrooper (which is subclassed from Botpack.TournamentPlayer) into a map is to put the code (and default properties) of the TST Player into the map, thus forcing any human player (that is you) entering the map to adopt that code and properties, including the mesh. It won't have an effect on Bots as they are governed by their own code (they remain Bots - TMale1Bot, TMale2Bot or whatever)

Can't imagine what happens - chaos? But, just to emphasise, these aren't characters, these are Players (BotpackTournamentPlayers or BotpackTournamentMale/Female) and, as you have shown, not to be used in maps.

So do they do anything different ?

Don't care about models, or skins or how they affect a map. What is it they were designed to do, or not do, in the properties.?

NPC too me means you can program them such as like patrol points do, or adjusting attitude, not graphics.

The UnrealNPCs? Nothing different - they're subclassed from UnrealI Bots and the only change to the code is to allow for them to be given a name - the readme suggests they can be used in maps where the mapper wants a specific 'character' with a name, such as a Bladerunner map with the Roy Batty character in it.

The UnrealIModels? They're Unreal Player models playable in UT99.
