Here is my Feedback after playing this Beta version.
1st of all the mod is really nice and my favorite weapon is HA&KA weapon.

Some odds I found in this mod:
1. Explosive weapons like Carroteer, PapriCannon, Toastanator have same Death Messages - "Victim was smacked down by Killer's Rocket Launcher." which is also default message of UT Rocket Launcher. Possible reasons could be that the DamageType is set RocketDeath, giving your own DamageType name should do the trick.
2. Bots using Toastanator weapon can use the AltFire rapidly, compared to human players which only gets one shot and wait until Reloading is completed.
3. Antacid Pills(replacement of UT Shieldbelt) doesn't show on HUD in Player Status icon those yellow glow instead it shows Armor icon.
4. The Explosion sound of Toastanator projectile in Primary Fire is very low.
5. Lightning doesn't work online or at start of the game of different juice bottles.
6. The hand of Peanut Gun is really small while reloading.
7. Peanut gun glows (unlit) in Primary Fire, but not in AltFire.
9. The smoke effect of Coffee (replacement of Damage Amp) works for the 1st time in online and doesn't work when it is respawned.
10. The Melee damage of HA&KA weapon is little bit overpowered, that it is possible to kill the guy with ShieldBelt in one show.
11. Also I got this Logs Error:

Everything else is good.
Good job developers of this mod.

Thanks Rocky,
that's exactly what we need.

I was playing the DM-Pie map earlier https://www.ut99.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5293
This map has single rifle shells for pickups.
I think the FoodFight mod may have missed a pickup-swap, as they still show.

I tried CTF-Cuppaw00t again and stripped back the mutators. Even running in spectator mode it will freeze every so often.
Looking in the log file has not helped, as there does not seem to be any strange errors showing.
Something very odd going on with that map. Shame as it would be perfect.

Function "GiveWeapon" used by Epic is is dedicated to load some... ImpactHammer and a default Enforcer, that code is far from be friendly with Bot or others A.I. which wants to "Rate" weapon. I was working at a moment at a different way to load Pawns. Simply weapon has to be loaded and Bot-Pawn will decide depending on combat situation what exactly wants to pick.
By example always worked loading a whole chain with weapons using this:

Code: Select all

function GiveWeapon(Pawn Pawn, class<TournamentWeapon> WeaponClass )
{
	local Weapon NewWeapon;

	if( Pawn.FindInventoryType(WeaponClass) != None )
		return;
	newWeapon = Spawn(WeaponClass,Pawn.Owner,Pawn.Tag,Pawn.Location,Pawn.Rotation); //Load completely owned
	if( newWeapon != None )
	{
		newWeapon.RespawnTime = 0.0; //No respawn
		newWeapon.bHeldItem = True; //held
		newWeapon.GiveTo(Pawn); //Pass to Owner
		newWeapon.SetSwitchPriority(Pawn); //See switching and END
//      newWeapon.WeaponSet(PlayerPawn); //NO
//      newWeapon.AmbientGlow = 0; //NO
//      PlayerPawn.PendingWeapon = None; //NO screw anything

		if ( !newWeapon.IsA('ImpactHammer') && !newWeapon.IsA('Translocator') )
		{
			newWeapon.GiveAmmo(Pawn);
			newWeapon.AmmoType.AmmoAmount = newWeapon.AmmoType.MaxAmmo; //See if need wrapped if NewWeaponAmmotype != None - sometimes bite
		}
	}
}

Credits here goes at Gust for main structure (about 99 weapons loadable). A.I. wrapper has been fine tuned by me step by step during a few hours of load 10 weapons to 10 Bots and me until I got rid of None and None A.I. "rateself". Don't do only a blind copy of original codes because they are against development, LOL.

So basically you are giving weapon to the parent class pawn instead of class playerpawn. Makes sense.

[EvilGrins]

I'll give it a go when I get home, expect screenshots and critiques by Friday.

[sektor2111]

Not really. Let's go to lil techs then.
Pawn (A.I.) load weapon - old code said WeaponSet() Ambienglow bla bla twice (is already called). Next weapon coming forcing a switch when things wants to continue mess up RateSelf. Simply New weapon is only added and no operation is performed letting weapons to manage themselves by moving native in Inventory chain. Also Bot depending on tactical situation will choose a well suited one for that instance. I removed useless lines because this is not enforcer.

Second problem: I got rid of all Accessed Nones using Editor (since I don't have source-code).

Another problem is UT itself while loads ImpactHammer or Chaisaw because out said mutator doesn't set a DefaultWeapon. Engine loads default and suddenly gets screwed by mutator. Declaring a "defaultweapon" Engine loads it native NOT via replacements. The same for Translocator. If it's not allowed then we need something else - without checking Translocator Box some errors are solved. Also I have a custom one successfully replaced before FoodFight to react in mutators. And I removed NextPostBegin bla bla because They are loaded anyway morphing these to EVENT - EVENT won't be causing infinite recursions because can't be called (said WIKI).

I was rewriting my DM with a configurable option for weaponry since it seems to mastering CheckReplacement being faster than others, and calling NextMutator before doesn't help since mutator is not loaded yet - confirmed by logs. I have implemented a config in my DM to not touch weapons in case of other mutators added, letting them to manage game so now it works for me with 0 errors and "FryingPan" is has been default-ed for anyone.

Results: MBots kicked my butt at a moment while I've been looking at effects without to mind threats, LOL.

Downloaded. Will test it sometime later awhile trimming down the list of things to do.

Thank you very much sektor2111 !!

This is gonna take a lot of analysis, but overall...

...looks fun as all get out!

Initially I'm checking it in bot matches: 9 bots, random maps, 50 kills or 10 minute time limit (whichever comes first) . Got the pinata mutator along with so all bots can get a full chance at all weapons in play. Later I'll hit it up on 1 of my favorite testing maps against bots & monsters.

So far I haven't seen any of the freezing bots mentioned in the ReadMe. Games got an even flow, even with excessive action in close quarters. However, I did spot 1 oddity:

Some of the weapons caused a tiny problem with Skaarj getting through doors. They don't normally have that issue.

Scoreboard looks nice but too stretched out:

Think it might be better to squish it in a bit, maybe 75% of screen instead of its current 100%. Might help the distortion a bit. Also, noticed you can't see the game time, usually at the bottom middle of the scoreboard screen.

I'm liking it...

...especially just seeing the weapons themselves.

What screen resolution do you use?

[EvilGrins]

What screen resolution do you use?

Usually 800x600, though I had it up to 1280x980 yesterday. I reduced it back down to review your weaponspack because massively huge screenshots seemed unnecessary for a review.
