Your favorite UT99 custom pawns atm?

Post by heliumcat »

List them please.

With pics and a bit of description if possible.

I'm curious as I am looking for new stuff.

You mean monsters, right?

Not models used by either players or bots.

Just wanna be clear, people use different terms, before I hit you with a tonnage of screenshots.

Yeah, anything but player or bot models/skins basically.

Cybots and teamcannons for example aren't really monsters, but they fit the criteria of this thread though.

Dunno about that. Chats with Ferali suggest that cybots are just as versatile as monsters, and they're designed so MH maps could be made with them as the main monster attacker.

I'll drum you up a list when I get home tonight, of monsters I play against most often.

For a start, the ones in the screenshots at the start of this thread · http://www.ut99.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5197

Dinosaurs from the Jurassic.u and zombies from Zombies5, although the latter is a mutator and not a custom pawn exactly.

Yep, just like EvilGrins said. The cybots were actually developed with the intent to be used as monsters. They don't possess the ability to patrol points and such, but they can be triggered to go from point A to point B, or follow something, or complete an entire objective with some cleverly placed triggers (there's a special cybot trigger in the pack to be placed on maps, it was fully tested both offline and in an online environment).
One of the ideas I had (and which is possible with the current version), was to do a SP map where once you entered an abandoned factory, there would be dozens of cybots in their sleep mode (closed in their shells on the shelves), and once you made a false step or so, they would all wake up and attack you.

There's a map I edit any new monsters I get onto that I've been asked not to post screenshots of on this forum, so in the later cases like this one I'll link you elsewhere:

Skeletal Mercs, 3 new monster classes of the classic mercenary, each a little different looking.

Linkage · http://unreal-games.livejournal.com/79169.html

With download links, though you'd have to get the whole map with the pawn:

BetaKrall & ElectricKrall · http://unreal-games.livejournal.com/86952.html
one is an older version, the other is an exremely powerful version

Nukers · http://unreal-games.livejournal.com/68345.html
actual name of the Skaarj is weird, don't recall, and it's got a redeemer stuck to it's lower torso

Dragons · http://unreal-games.livejournal.com/68005.html
updated version of a design for Unreal1 that works and won't crash the game

Doom Monsters · http://unreal-games.livejournal.com/65673.html
just 2 kinds, though there's Doom weapons in this setup too

Aliens & Predators · http://unreal-games.livejournal.com/63310.html
exactly what it sounds like, yeah AvP

Aliens · http://unreal-games.livejournal.com/62696.html
different class of the xenomorph, easier to fight but explode with acid

Santa Brutes · http://unreal-games.livejournal.com/61914.html
look ridiculous but very powerful

More to come.

What about CTF and AS maps? Can't we set up the sentinel cybots so that they can work for a specific team?

Perhaps you can add this mutator to your server if you haven't already?

The Reavers (and some of the others) are from the Spatial Fear total mod.
All the monsters from that are well above the normal UT standard.
They lack some functionality in normal UT, so they will not hunt you by smell (yes these monsters normally smell your fear)

Transplanting them into a map adds a lot of bulk, as you need loads of the Spatial Fear files, but can be done.
Really they need to be remade as a standalone monster pack.

Ah, Spatial Fear ...that rings a bell.
Well maybe if someone would make a request somewhere, maybe is there someone interested to make this conversion.

Soon, though whoever I put that out to will need a download of SF to be able to use it.
