Even thou it's not completed I feel that it will never be since utxmp is so different from u2xmp I can't write a source of information that covers both, it was going to be my personal contribution to the community but I guess that's not gonna happen. Anyhow if you want to take a peak at it since I've been working on it for a long long time. The Basics section is like 99% completed, just missing some screens out while the Advanced and Others section is far from completed and probably never will be. But I might give it some writing here and there to satisfy my own ego sometime in the future :).

Excellent. Perhaps, if you are keen on finishing it quicker, you could accept contributions to the information? That way everybody can donate their own expert tips.

Up to you of course, but as it stands it's already very good.

Of course I could accept contributions, then it would be parts of information that fits into my Advanced Knowledge categories. Those are:

Adv Class Use. Includes tips for how a class should handle another, also stuff like rangers bunny jump, gunners tripmine and concussionjumps etc. I would also like to list here all weapons exact damage etc, well about everything you can think of conserning classes that I didn't write in the basics section.

Adv Field knowledge. A huge list of where you can slide make boostjumps to reach higher grounds and other speciall jumps for each class, should include a picture with arrows on it marking how to jump etc.)

Adv Tactics. If youre into clangaming and want to share some common sense when it comes to place up lineups and some effective moveouts, you know what I mean.

Map info Here im going to create maps for each map, name the different areas objects and write a little about them, nothing speciall.

??? Everything that I missed out that could be neat to know.

I will probably start to work and complete these myself since my love for u2xmp still stands strong :) but this is my plan, still, if anyone feels like they could contribute with some info, I'll gladly accept it and put your name as the author.

Firstly, great job on the site ID, Im sure this will help many people who will play xmp or are currently playing. Maybe, however, the advanced field knowledge is a little too much to undertake to write about, i mean for a start in our video is just a small selection of slope jumps, if we go in game i can show you another hundred little tricks to help someone move faster across a specific map or even more slope/wall tricks, maybe its a little much to write about them "all".

However I admire the effort you are putting into this project and if there is any way that i can help please count me in. As you know i can help with wall, slope, concussion, tripmine jumping and also movement across maps :), just slap me in irc if you want me to contribute.

Hehe yes I understand what you mean, there are maybe 100 spots on a map where you can gain height if you boostjump towards them, I will only pin point those of more importance, those who are really usefull and will come in handle. Well if you want a job of course I can give you one hehe, I'll talk to you later.

Special Jump is VERY usefull!!

OK, special jump from the cloud island on alcazar.

Stand up there and defend the energy, if on of the other ground generators gets taken, jump in a raptor and point it at the energy. Driver, boost, fly.

Look down and watch the ground. When you're nearly at the floor, get out.
Your velocity will be zero, the raptor gets written off and you land gently with your jets right near the gen. The other guy has probably left and you just take the gen back, simple.

Run back up the top, rinse and repeat.

But I bet id doesn't work in UTXMP, what with real physics and everything...
I hope it does, it's my favorite trick, the dropship.

Dai.

Quite amusingly, the raptor takes damage in the clouds, before landing on its wheels and surviving perfectly. This will be fixed though.

Daishi, you've been away from the u2xmp community far too long, that is a really old trick, but thanks for your effort :D.

By the way, if anyone cares, Abaddon has offered me his help with completing the site and he's doing a great job already! If we keep this up the site might be finished in maybe a month, perhaps less :)

Ah yes, but I found it first! 'twas just a long long (looooooooooong) time ago :D

It should still be added though!

(On another note, UT2K4 is bought, UTXMP is downloaded. All I have to do is go home (only 60 miles tonight, woo!) make some deliveries, eat, tidy, iron, do some paper work, find my driving license, install it all, make it work and then I get to play again! yay! What are people using to find UTXMP servers?)

Dangerous Dai.

The ingame server browser. It's just that noone is playing it, U2XMP is still going strong OTOH.

Oh and "iddqd" is the godmode cheat in Doom 1/2, IIRC.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys, we will do our best to finish this project. Right now it seemes that the content will grow like twice the current size, so it's really going to be a huge u2xmp database!

I've been using the ingame browser.

Don't expect to find loads of full servers, most of the community are waiting for the next patch. There are still a few issues that make it frustrating to play, and it doesn't seem worth doing any bug hunting, as FMI already have a huge list to work on

It was one of the cheat codes for Doom :)
