Are there still people playing?

What the topic says.

Been trolling to find out, but I'm still not sure if there's any action in xmp these days

zombiewoof · 16th May 2009, 03:54 PM

Just starting to work out the bugs on the new compy then I'll start playing again.

Enter a server and wait for a while. Depending on how long you're willing to wait, you'll get an answer.

(GR)Killer · 17th May 2009, 12:29 PM

Not really.

Im Wondering... why did XMP Got abandoned.

I mean the game is really good why is unreal 2 XMP not as popular anymore

when it was when it first came out ?

GreatEmerald · 18th May 2009, 12:30 PM

2003 December. It was quite extinguished by UT2004 that came out around the same time. And that XMP has no bots to keep you company while waiting for players.
Shortly, the Unreal II Curse. Lack of time. If they had enough time and would have finished their first concept of XMP, we would have hundreds of people playing:

Atari being stupid.

new players getting owned, instead of getting help...people go out of their way to own someone new to the game to make their ego better.

The retards of the game.

The game fell slowly, you barely get 5 players.

What is the difference between the Community edition xmp

VS the standard original xmp ?

is the community edition better or are both of them like the same ?

dutch_gecko · 22nd May 2009, 11:49 AM

The community edition has the patch applied, includes some of the bonus maps that weren't in the original but are pretty standard now, and no longer requires a U2 CD to install.

(GR)Killer · 22nd May 2009, 09:12 PM

The community one also has a somewhat working master server, unlike the original.

DJM312 · 24th May 2009, 06:38 AM

Yeah the game got real bad and its a shame . I enjoyed playing and if I could find another copy of Unreal 2 , I would be playing !

Ryan432120 · 24th May 2009, 02:24 PM

For some reason the are 3 xmp servers that i cannot connect to

There names are:

BBF

Survivor u2xmp

Survivor 2 u2xmp

When i try to connect to all 3 of the servers it sais connecting but i gets stuck on it.

And when i opened my favoret tab i see that all 3 servers have a very strange ping.

The ping that all 3 servers have is 9999. It looks like the servers are not active but

Just be sure can anyone else can connect to the 3 servers above?

GreatEmerald · 24th May 2009, 03:04 PM

They're dead. But maybe they will come up again... eventually. Ping of 9999 = dead.

Ryan432120 · 24th May 2009, 04:00 PM

How can i make my own XMP Privet server ( just curious ) ?

GreatEmerald · 25th May 2009, 07:25 AM

Create a new shortcut to Unreal II XMP, and add -server at the end of the Target in its properties. Though you will also need to change your MyU2XMP.ini [IPDrv.MasterServerLink] lines:

Code:

MasterServerPort[0]=27900
MasterServerAddress[0]=ms.aybab2u.com

And that will render your normal game unable to view the Master server. So, I have downloaded the u2xmp_dedicated_7710 package, copied U2XMP.exe to the System folder there and host from there.

Ryan432120 · 25th May 2009, 12:38 PM

ok i installed the u2xmp_dedicated_7710 package Program and it gave me some kind of

a xmp utility on the bottem right of my windows bar i notice that i have all kinds or

server options how do i make a server and cause it to be active so other players can

join in the game ? how do i use this utility ?

Leo(T.C.K.) · 25th May 2009, 12:54 PM

are there still people?

(requesting changing name of a thread to the new one)

GreatEmerald · 25th May 2009, 01:50 PM

You're already using it

That icon is your server, and it runs unattended. If you opened your regular U2XMP client, clicked on the LAN tab, you'd see your server there.
You probably also need to forward your ports. Go here:

Find your router, and follow the instructions for UT2004.
And make sure you have those MasterServerPort things configured in your dedicated server package.

Ryan432120 · 25th May 2009, 02:15 PM

TY So much For help again GreatEmerald
