Rockets UT: first public version

Hi there!
I want you to test my new mod Rockets UT.
It's all about rockets:
- fast rockets
- slow rockets
- homing rockets
- rockets with whoop-ass huge explosions:D
etc.

You can download it RegularX' site: RocketsUT6.zip (3.8 MB)
Just unzip it to any folder and run the umod file.

Please check out the Mods menu in UT, especially 'Weapon Priority' and 'Configure EnhancedItems'.

this mod is sweet. I really like all the different RLs.

BUG: The frag rocket ammo does not automatically give the respective launcher.

SUGGESTION: release the advanced weapon priority list thing as a seperate UT utility.

Sorry about that frag missile bug. Just forgot a '.' in the code.:rolleyes: :D But it's corrected now.
The weapon priority thing is part of another, smaller mod but I didn't have the time to release it yet. And I don't have the time to build my own web site so is there anybody who would host them?

Important Update !!!

I've just uploaded a new version of Rockets UT.
New features:
- new weapon: Smart Missiles
- new weapon: Black Shark Missiles
- updated: Homing Missiles now avoid collision with walls
- updated: releasing the Cyclone Childs looks more beautiful now

The new version grew in size, mostly because of the Black Shark. (looks damn cool! :cool: )
Tripod didn't want the file (about 2.8 MB) so I had to split it. You'll have to download the .exe file AND the .r00 file (each about 1.4 MB). Sorry.:(

I'd love to try this out, but when trying to download the r00 file, IE5 (PC) tries to display it as text. Wormbo, try to zip up the file and send it to namu to host. The RAR file is too much hassle for what it's worth.

New version (see first post).
It's a ZIP file now, UMOD will follow soon.

Cleaned up the code for the napalm globs (shouldn't lag any more) and changed the flight physics of the rockets.
Hope you like it. :)

Nope, not really. I tried Angelfire, but they delete your account if you link to your files from other websites. :mad:
I've got some webspace at Tripod but there's no real website. I'll try to solve that website stuff this weekend.
I'll upload a new version of Rockets UT soon.

New version is out.
Major improvements are the html manual and the umod installation along with some bugfixes.

One question:
Should the rockets fall down instead of exploding when they run out of fuel?

i think they should fall down and explode on contact.

assuming the rocket has 2 chambers, 1 for the warhead and another for fuel, the warhead chamber would not know the difference between falling to the floor and hitting a wall. though remember, the rockets must still have forward momentum.

Hey someone noticed this thread again!
If you have downloaded RocketsUT.zip from the first post I suggest you upgrade INSTANTLY to the latest version. (RocketsUT6.zip)
It has far less bugs, a cool missile cam view, support for Chaos UT's multi items and an enhanced player status icon which displays invisibility and draws correctly the armor status for female and boss model as it should be.

Note: You should delete EWindow.u from your System directory if it's there. If any other of my mods stop working after Rockets UT is installed, they are out of date. New compatible versions are out already.
