UTXMP patch and question list from community.

|pure|Destruction · Dec 15, 2004

I have some questions...

#1.) What goes into the process of making a patch for a game? Like explain the steps for the programming illiterate.

#2.) The first patch doesnt have to include "every" fix known to the game. To me, what was posted by Indian was sufficient enough to actually make the game stable enough to start some ladder play and give people something to do before xmas vacations. So the question is, could we see a patch out at least this week? Just a tiny one... Cause it would be nice to start having matches.

#3.) How involved are the original Legend Ent. guys with the production of UTXMP and FMI?

#4.) Can consumers use Maya PLE (from ut2004) to make things for UTXMP and UT2004, and it actually work in game? Or do you have to use something else like 3dsmax 4.2 (which I have) to do things then export to 2k4? Maybe I should go read a tutorial. Maya ple is watermarked, just wondering if that will cause the stuff not to work. export prolly dont work either I assume.

Now from the community...

(1.) "Why did you hardcode nerfing the movement? I hope you f`n die!"

(2.) "Cascade, why do you not have a funny bone? You should grow one. Then someone should rip it out and beat you with it."

(3.) "Wher ethey high while macking it?" (translated: were you high while making the mod? )

(4.) "Ask about the pause after landing a hop jump!" dodge then do a hop jump then try to dodge immediately upon landing the hop jump" Is this fixed or changed? and "After the hop jump, the animation just slides across the ground.. the pause was coded intentionally and I'd like to know why."

(5.) "And the raptor can crash forever adn jump the whole map!" Is the vehicle damage being tweaked?

(6.) "The boost on the tank really needs to be increased, right now it hardly moves any faster." Is this an issue being addressed?

(7.) "Are the auto turrets more powerful?"

(8.) "Will you be able to switch weaps and shoot while one is reloading.?"

All for now.

I can answer the Maya PLE question. Yes it can be. I'm not sure which version the ngine is supporting, you'd have to look into that, but I think it's Maya PLE 5. It should be on the 6th CD or the DVD.

I just verified on the 6th CD and in the CD6 folder on the DVD there is a Maya PLE folder that has both Maya 5 PLE and the UT2004 plugin for Maya 5 PLE. These models can be imported into UEd and, if you do it right, into UTXMP.

I have a question:

Are the Skaarj models going to be brought in to UTXMP?

i wondered if they would implement a 'fast weapon switching' mode, where u could switch weapons regardless of what ur doing to it (reloading etc), as well

I am hoping something similar will be implemented, the weapon switch time is PAINSTAKINGLY slow.

i concure.... weapon switch time is painstakingly slow, and so is reload times.... hmm.... ponders about it, and notices the timers for the some of the weapon for utxmp...

shotgun has a reload time of about 2.25 seconds total (i wonder if an timmer based on the clip size multiplied by a multiplier on timmer is a good idea... that way people get a better gameplay)
rocket launcher takes about 2 seconds to reload total ( i think? )
the snipper rifle is quicker to reload when empty, than when full.
the grenade launchers respond equally.

and so one... i think a system that takes into account weapon ammo size would be good... after all, some weapons should take a while, like the rocket launcer ( 2 seconds seems about fair for a complete reload ).. i just don't knw what i like or dislike... but i do know that fmi needs to rework the in game cheat menu for bot matches... change the loaded and allweapons function to give you only xmp weapons.

for some reason this just made me litraly roll on the floor with laughter... :lol:

you obviously have no idea who you are talking about, basing you opinion on the few posts i have posted in this forum.

well ok, just to do you a favor, let me grow a funny bone:

*POOF*

"my internet dad will beat your internet dad!" (-Mantik)

*POOF*

:404:

I'd like to see that too, as it played a gigantic part in how I personally played the game. I switched weapons like a fiend. But then again.. if it is implemented, I hope that it's changed from u2xmp in the way that when you switch in the middle of a reload.. upon switching back to that gun, it shouldn't be reloaded. The reload should just be cancelled dead, and the gun switch put into effect. Being able to press reload and then switch to another gun almost instantly in u2xmp, but still have it actually reload was a little bit on the 'bs' side of things.

Exactly.

This would be absolutely brilliant. Rather than having both teams have the exact same models, make one team have humans and the other have Skaarj. :tup: The Skaarj of U2 have ranger, tech, and gunner type models available. There were light ones, some in the middle, and the big armored up beasts. All of these would fit really well into XMP and help distinguish teams better.

Yeah, I saw that in game yesterday, what caused it? Was it because I jumping around like a maniac trying to flame an annoying tech?

:tup:

I've tried to say that before, but no one agreed (during the U2XMP beta). I think it would make the gameplay more interesting, especially if the Skaarj had SIMILAR weapons but more alien looking

However, the reason I asked here was in case someone wanted to make a mutator/mod for UTXMP that made one team Skaarj and the other Humans.
