CTF4 Announced

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Those of you who have played the original Unreal Tournament remember the additional 2 team colors, gold and green. You probably even remember the user made modification CTF4 that took advantage of those two extra team colors and created a four-way Capture the Flag match, complete with 4 flags. Greg “Overload” Laabs is well on his way towards bringing that gametype (and TDM4) to Unreal Tournament 2004.

In addition to the two extra team colors (see pics below), there is team colored instagib primary fire, complete menu and bot support, and the option to have to manually return the flag.

In order to take advantage of all of these options, CTF4 requires custom maps. There are currently 3 or 4 (1 original and a few remakes), one of which is CTF-Joust4 (see pic below). But they would like to launch with more and are seeking talented mappers to create CTF4 maps. Contact Overload if you can help.

All I really want is for somebody to adapt the 4-team TDM mod for UT2k4. That was so much stupid fun in UT.

4-team ONS? omg. Definitely.

Hell even if it is just a redone Torlan as the only map, I'll play it.

That strikes me as being even gayer than FFA Warcraft III, but I must admit I don't play much ONS.

4 way ONS would be wierd! If your teams core got killeded what would ahppen to you? Does your team become free roaming, nothing to lose rogues spoiling the fun for the other teams? Or doyou sit it out for the other teams to finish! Or indeed could you get re established onto the other teams?

Edit he actually made an update today!

Update October 14th
Okay, I'd like to answer a few questions now.

Yes, I am also planning on doing some sort of four way BR as well.

Yes, there will be an option that will make the position indicators on the HUD point to the current location of the flags, not the bases.

We have green and gold skins for every skin that comes with UT2004, as well as the ECE.

Yes, you will be able to set up the game so the scoring is just like normal CTF (that is the default.)

Yes, it will support bots 100%. Not only that, but they are SMART. They will choose which team to attack intelligently, and the squad AI allows them to pick up multiple flags, carry flags back, and all sorts of things. Single Player gamers rejoice.

Also, CTF4 will fully support the voice recognition feature in UT2004. You can tell which bots to attack which teams, and they'll do it.


Also also, I will be running an official CTF4 server (maybe 2 if it's popular) so you can be sure that there will be a place to play online. Go ahead and play on one of my servers currently running and see how well you ping. I would like to know how well they perform: http://www.apartment167.com/ut2004stats/


-Loric- asked how green and gold skins will be handled in these mods, concerned that you will only get to use the models that we have made skins for.

You're in luck! I thought ahead for people like you. There is an .ini file that specifies which skins are allowed and what packages they are from. If you create your own skin with green and gold versions, all you have to do is put it in the ini file, and you'll be able to play with it in CTF4.
If someone chooses a model or skin that does not have green and gold versions, their player will fall back to the default model.
