UT 2k3/2k4 RainbowSix mute would like some testers

Hi Triarii! Did you read the README file? It explains the basic setup, and no this version does not support UT2k3. For starters just try out the YARM Weapons mutator, or the YARM SP Weapons mutator. You can configure multiple options by using the configure mutators button in the menu.

Here are some videos of the test parkour movements: Pipe Climbing and Zipline, Ledge Climb and Wall Run, Trapeze Swinging and Skill Roll

Hi Corporal_Lib[BR] and Kyle, I'm aiming to release something by next weekend (to include the adjusted M4 w/ sight, I'll try out the Micro CCO). I've got about half of the Parkour moves completely network compatible now (and know enough to make the others work as well), it actually turned out to be easier than I expected. I have not done much with the bow & arrow, but I did give the SP sniper rifle its own model now (leaves behind a smoke trace to prevent camping + added the scope wobble), the pistol's skin is done, and I've started the SP assault rifle (will be the "predecessor" to the UT2k4 assault rifle but with a laser sight when aimed and at least for now no grenade launcher).

I'm still kicking around SP ideas, which still kind of tough since I have not nailed down the gameplay yet (trying to make it a little more interesting than just shooting baddies, I also want to toss in some puzzle elements). As for the firefights, I need to figure out how to make them intense even with just a couple of baddies and pistols. If I can somehow make a pistol shoot with some of the enemy AI in a tight storefront (like a small grocery store) intense then I think I will have succeeded. Anyways, the mountains are calling (and it would be a crime not to go hiking with weather like we've got her now), so I may not get to this for a few days.

Sorry, been busy hiking a lot (our super good weather has finally arrived) and started work on my own lightweight single wall tent for a planned backpack trip in September.

I did manage to work on YARM a little bit last weekend (fixing some weapons skins, Mk9 pistol animations, minor code issues etc.) I still have a really annoying Parkour replication issue that I have not decided quite how to handle yet, that is sort of holding up the next release. Maybe I can kick something out this weekend.

[EDIT] Ok, I've got the M4 model adjusted so that the AimPoint is much further forward on the upper receiver, I'll post a screenshot tomorrow. I personally preferred the older setup so I kept that model, but the adjusted one can be used by setting the "Use Classic Model" option to true in the Weapon configuration screen.

Ok, here is a shot of the new model followed by the old in FP view:

Well I actually do like the less tunneled Aimpoint view more, so that will be the default M4 model.

No more breakthroughs on the Mirror's Edge code (as far as network compatibility). I've been fixing some other network issues with the other game stuff like the SP Enemy mutator (stupid humanoid enemies won't play their normal movement animations). Also updated the parachute so that it now plays a 'deploy' and 'collapse' animation (which is network compatible so far).

My normal development comp will be unavailable to me for a while in the near future, so I will release what ever I have ready by this next Saturday (I don't think the ME stuff will be complete yet).

I've been reluctant to release an update since I keep getting to chip away at little features that I had been meaning to fix. I've tweaked a few of the hit effects (the snow, and glass hit effects have been improved), as well as fixing some underlying code bugs. I've also added a few more melee animations for the SP enemies. I was also able to get the parkour code to work just about perfectly now on client machines, though I do not have all of the required animations complete.

Here is a screenshot of the other Assault Rifle that is part of the SP portion:


Since the next content "stuff" is modeling/skinning/animating another rocket launcher, I will probably kick this release out soon (the Mk7AR needed to be finished before this release...).

Yeah, the laser does work (currently it turns on when you aim down the sights). The bots will also turn on their laser when they have an enemy and the enemy is within about 1500 UUs of their location.

I'm not sure if I will release the ME test map right away. It is pretty "slap-dash" as it is only for testing the moves and all of the custom static meshes. What I will probably do is get this release out and then upload the updated version of the GE Complex map (decked out with the custom static meshes).

New YARM version posted (Sept 1 2010)

Ok, new version posted here. Unfortunately I did not get to everyone's wish list (new footstep sounds, colliding shell casings, improved Compound bow), and I forgot some (hiding that silly "guard" icon with SP enemies) but I did make some improvements.

1. The Parkour code is mostly network compatible right now (though there are a few rare cases where crashes can occur, though I can't seem to repeat them). I will be fixing all of the animations in the next release.
2. Finished the weapon models for the SP Mk9 magnum pistol Mk7 AR, and Mk4 sniper AMR (which also has scope wobble/breathing feature now).
3. The parachute now has a simple deploy and collapse animation
4. Adjusted location of Aimpoint sight on the M4a1 model
5. Adjusted the default, metal, dirt, and snow bullet hit effects
6. Some other code optimizations.
