Not to stray off course into another game, but I'll tell you all what. I played UT2K4 vehicle invasion today and this felt more I imagined MH to turn out like. It's a lot of fun, try it if you get the chance. Maybe they make a mod for it someday, there seems to be potential.

YAAAAAY :D 3's monsterhunt is running Xidia gold again :D YES Yes YES :D

Beware, it's on the highest skill level. There won't be much ammo around... games are hard and challenging, but fun :O)

It's on the "landing" map now.

Wow we played the "outpostpheonix" map yesterday on unreal skill. Me and two buddies.

Well it took us a while to complete the map. Almost two hours :D The server crashed all of the sudden (don't know if it was a ****ing dos attack or what.. not sure)...

Anyway, it's a challenging level :D But hey, it was fun as hell.

Damn the slow weapon respawn though :-/ Sure it makes the games more intense, but it's so time consuming...

(zzzzzzz)
 
I am not sure if it is the mods... or what... but... UT hath been fuxed with and hath pissed me off for the last time.

So I`m doing a relativley fresh install as soon as I get a graphics card... :(
Till then no UT... but I work so much I guess I don`t have a whole lot of time to make sweet love with UT anyway :/

Monsterhunt online has become so dull, so .. :(
Bah, I hate it. This gametype can be so much fun.
If you have the rigth maps, the right people playing it.

It's just so ****ed up now. Yesterday I dled a new map.
Mh-akemi_vs_tokomo it was I think.

I spawn in this incredibly dull room, and I can't find a bloody exit. :con:
What were you supposed to do, where to go?

I just shrugged, and quit the game. Deleted the map, why bother.
Good maps show you were to go and what to do, the instant you start playing.

Gametype is KAPUT. FUBAR cause of all the lame maps...

Although, UTJMH can be fun sometimes. In combination with strong monster. Without strongmonster it makes the easier maps too damn easy (or really boring).
It's fine on the "tges" maps though.

What makes matters worse is that I don't even like going to my favourite server anymore, cause the admin is so ****ing stubborn.
Yeah, even if you're reading this I don't care.

It's always what he wants, he hardly even thinks of what the players want I'm fed up with it. :mad:
You joke around that the monsters are easy, he sets their groundspeed to 1000, their health boosted. You end up with a ****ing skaarj killing you in 2 seconds.
What's the damn point? What's so damn special about it? Anyone can do that.
Eventually, you lose the game cause the monsters are too damn strong. Yeah haha funny.. not. I'm too old for childish crap like that.


Small rant :D

I'm not really pissed off or anything. I just wished things were different, I just wish monsterhunt would be enjoyable online.
:hmm:
Well, I can always run a private server with some buddies I guess. Every now and then.
Or botplay.

Really exciting, monsterhunt botgames.

:-/
yeah right.

Too many MH and BunnyTrack servers make baby Jesus cry!
Now if just one of them would be running Night's Edge instead..
With all the late hype MH has been graced with there's hoping.
Oh and I agree the UnrealTournament forum section here is quite dead.
Reveal yourselves, lurkers!

Rob said:
Never thought of making your own maps ?

Actually yes. But it would take time, since I don't intend too release a beta/crap map which was made in say for example 1 week time...
I'd make sure it'd be worth playing, worth looking at.. you know.
A decent map.

It'd be a crazy map though. What would you expect from someone like me?
But no "chaos" as in: "oh endless skaarj monster invasion all over the place, crap architecture blocking you etc..., lava pits everywhere."

HELL NO.

I still think those "tges" maps are the best. Boomboy knows what gameplay is. His maps aren't real lookers,but they're not ugly either. They're actually quite atmospheric. (most are)

btw: I've downloaded the offlinewiki. zip a while ago, it's very interesting ^_^

I've already checked the bunnytrack site, but it looks like an odd mod.
Some servers have bt maps mixed with Mh.. kind off confusing.

Well I only love a small amount of Mh-maps. Unfortunately they're being overwhelmed by tons of crap maps so :-/

Monsterhunt CAN be fun, but... well...
Damn it, sometimes the bots are better teammates :mad:
But then again, they're just bots :(

LOL

:) Ah well.

If monsterhunt online play dies, or fades away I'll still be playing it. Top mod.
But I've only saved a small amount of maps. These maps are actually good. Some are excellent.
Heck, out of 80 (or so) maps I've played only .. 10(something like that) are worth keeping :(
Ain't that a shame?

I feel like a Star Trek nerd, but I completely drew out rouge guide lines for a MH map I have in mind... Stopped working on it though because I got discouraged with simple things that had no explanation in any UnrealED tutorial(Like, say, ladders. Where are my damn ladders!?).

So now I`ve stopped working on it... I think a really huge spaceship might be too much for a MH map :/

I wish I could help you on how to make a ladder. Maybe post this question (or read the sticky thread first) in the mapping forum?

The spaceship: Well it depends, if you slice the map in several smaller areas, and make it well connected and clear (where the player should go next) why not. Go for it.
And take your time ^_^

Monsterhunt is the mod itself, and UTJMH is a japanese monsterhunt mutator.

It seems like you can only download UTJMH 2.1 now?
I mean, i've looked for links to dl the later versions but no luck so far.

It's just a mutator which enhances the gameplay. -> Recharging ammo, health regenerates (you can easily configure everything in an .ini file).
There's also the "strongmonster" part, which gives the monsters more health and nastier projectiles I guess. The brutes no longer shoot their typical lame rockets, but ... ut projectiles. Such as ut_rockets, pulse projectiles etc...

On more challenging maps like "the great escape" you can play without the "strongmonster" part. It's still fun. It won't get boring. But on other maps you'd better include "strongmonster". Otherwise the challenge will dissapear and you'll end up playing awefully easy maps.
Up to you.

So remember: You can download UTJMH 2.1

Click the link, you end up at the japanese site. Top of the site it says: english version here.
Click it. A new window opens redirecting you to the enlighs excite site. (be patient.)
At the top of the new page you'll see the different UTJMH versions. Go for the 2.1 version.

You can also download the UTJMH mutator from a server BUT.. you'll end up getting nothing else but the .u file. You won't be able to run a server with the mutator.

I'll also include a link to a site where you can download the mod itself.

Hey guys,

I run a MH server myself. Though I NEVER play on it. Unless I just so happen to see that the noobs that play in the server, just so happen to accidenlty choose one of the better maps mentioned above. Other than that, I just leave the server running becasue "noobs?" like it. *shrugs*

I have been so busy as of late, so I haven't had time to do much of anything; including keeping up with the UT/MH scene. So can someone point me in the right direction to get all the new maps? Whether they are good or bad, I can careless; I am sure the noobs will like it either way.

On another note. I read somewhere, someone said something about making your own map, but then someone saying they don't have enough time? Also someone about a book author?

Why don't we create a small team of mappers, even if you don't know how to map; it's not that hard to learn. Just get with me and I can locate some really good tutorials. Even if we put out a good map every month or two months. It will still be worth it!

I have plenty of web space, so keeping a up to date vertsion of the map won't be a problem; just so long as we keep uploading what we have done to the server frequently. Other details will have to be worked out. If anyone is interested let me know.
