Back to modding

Post by Darkness »

Greetings, I'm Darkness and I'm back to UT99 after almost 5 years away from it.


Some of you may already have played my old mod, called Apocalypse Weapons... it was fun for most people, although I couldn't finish it as I wanted...

This time I'm in for something different, more complex and less overkill.


Anyway, I'm glad to see that there's still an entire comunity dedicated to this wonderful game. See ya around :tu:

Gonna set this up on my server in column three. I'll report back when it's done and tested. BTW, you *might* consider renaming the mod zips. MH is almost universally associated with monsterhunt, as there are many mods with that prefix designed for it. So many sites just list the zips with no explanation, you should make it more explanatory for the mirrors.

Yeah you're right, I totally forgot about Monster Hunt :cry: thanks for the suggestion, I might take this into consideration for a new release...

There may be minor bugs with a few projectiles since I couldn't test everything and there weren't many testers... many of the content was "rushed", so I could get a good release asap.

The only projectile that I'm aware that can behave strangely is Gamma's Primary Earth shot, but most of time it works fine, just in some ramps and some walls it may be odd.

Up and running in column 4 here: 8.12.64.129:7777

Most of the maps are sniper-style, but it will give you a large playground to test the weapons. BTW, this is a testserver so if you want to tweak things, see the logs, or otherwise play around with your mod just let me know and I'll work it out for you.

Thanks so much! I've tried to join that, but I don't understand, are you hosting 4 servers on the same IP? How do I change to that one?

Anyway, I've started changing minor things, like making the mod more compatible with other gametypes and mods... I tried playing the 1.0 release with Monster Hunt, and just noticed that all the monsters would "burst" when dying, like a player, without leaving a corpse behind :P of course it was easy to fix, but it was just something I totally ignored while making the CheckReplacement function hehe. I've also made support to the LastManStanding mode (starting with ammo for all weapons and armor)... so I'll pay more attention to this kind of thing for the next release, before enganging into scripting newer things.

I wouldn't worry too much about compatibility with monsterhunt. Most of the servers use custom controllers that feed ammo and weapons to the players because the monsters are all overdone and mega-health.

In my server the mapvote has four columns. Monsterhunt, monsterhunt with strongmonsters (much harder), an empty column, and your Maverick mod used in a DM setting with some bots. Selecting the map loads the proper mutators.

Yeah I managed to join the server a while ago, but there's something odd there. Have you added the proper Serverpackage?

Thanks :lol: Volatille ammo gave me lots of laughs while playing, sometimes it was cooler to shoot the ammo instead of getting them :mrgreen:

12 year old Jamaican rum, which I never seem to have enough of :cry: I drink it with lime and mint for a little Mojito touch :D
