ut 99 vehicles question

Post by darksonny »

Hi!

This question is directed to @Buggie.
Keeping in mind this official news from Epic Games in this link:

https://www.epicgames.com/unrealtournament

I have one question:

The fact that you are developing a new type of game for unreal tournament game of the year related to vehicles and the strong development of the scaling included in the map editor for this version of ut, and knowing that in the news linked in previous lines provided by Epic, the UT2004 version does not contain an official download link for the ut2004 game. Does it mean that this gametype is an attempt to bring this part that was from ut2004 to ut goty? Epic has given you implicit permission to do this and make people forget about ut2004 (knowing that if they already have it in ut goty why have ut2004?) or? I rephrase the question: Is this the reason they haven't included DLC for ut2004?

Thanks in advance

I don't know what you have interpreted so negatively in my question.

Please, Don't talk to me like i'm disturbing you or acting harsh as if I were getting you into legal trouble when is not, it's a question cos I get confused what does this mod do. Anyone can think and having these doubts.

Thanks anyway for the clarification.

Maybe if you put the entire question you will see a question not an assumption, maybe cause its not my native language should be written as:

Is a question, where is the assumption?

1. XV isn't a mod or mutator, vehicles have to be directly edited onto maps.

2. Epic isn't trying to make anyone forget about ut2004, but they might be trying to get players to forget about ut4.

3. FeraliDragon originated XV, Buggie has significantly enhanced it... starting with the one thing Ferali couldn't get it to do; work online.

4. Epic doesn't need to give anyone permission to make stuff for any version of UT. The games are all designed to have stuff made for them.

I'd like to bring this topic back up and ask a question myself: I was wondering if it would be possible to revisit the idea of this ONS mode for UT, which has been somewhat overtaken by Buggie vehicles, and see if we could have an ONS mod adapted to the work done so far to have vehicles in UT99?

The outdated mod in question:

I work on port ut2004 ONS for UT99 already. It goes quite slow by lack of free time for that. But still there is a progress.

Still very impressive to see, I remember some vehicle mods back in the day when I was a kid, but never tried much with them!
It's pretty amazing you managed to get it to work, I recall back then they pretty much just felt like special weapon pickups
