UnWheel Screenshots

Pics of fun UnWheel situations.

Rabbit in the headlights.

Fun

Some guy was driving his centipede into the goal area and then suiciding and getting a new one, over and over. It became a race to see who could score before he filled up the whole goal with trucks, I was able to just sneek in with the xcalibur at the last second.

Lol! Shame I missed that, looks funny.

Centipede is often used to try and screw up games...

Yeah, it's annoying on industry. Perhaps a server-side option not to allow centipedes?

Agreed. I had to ban a dude because he kept on doing that and ruining games. It'd be nice to add the ability to remove some vehicles for different gametypes and/or maps.

Tottaly - what is needed here is some kinda of mutator type thing, where you can configure what type of vehicles should be available for what race.

We have discussed adding a mapper controlled option to remove certain vehicles from levels. Its obvious it's needed on some levels.

I'd prefer it as a serverside option or a mutator because that gives more flexibility to the people.

I agree about banning the centipede. It can be fun but on some tracks, ie colorado it can block the whole track.
Centipede is good on moto X and Vegas Eight though.

I agree about banning the centipede. But I reckon it needs to be a server side option. Either that or some way of making cars disapear when there owners suicide/leave game etc. It can be fun but on some tracks, ie colorado it can block the whole track.

*agrees* :tup:

I'd put it in as a mutator, because by design, it seems to be done well for a mutator (like the Arena and Vehicle Arena mutators). Anybody ever played Jedi Outcast? A good bloke made a mod for it (ForceMod II) which went after the motto "It's cool if you have a feature, but it's cooler if you can turn it off." I just like this attitude (as long as the defaults aren't set completely badly ), and I spent half of my time playing with the cvars (Console Variables, Quake lingo) to tweak it as I saw fit. That is also one of the reasons why I use Linux - editing configs and see the result was always nice. (Unfortunately, frickin' ATI's frickin' drivers don't frickin' work with UT2004's renderer, and I can't even frickin' start the game. This is where I still use Windows.)

Hmm... maybe I could make a mutator for BigAir which would replace the StuntPoints with good ol' AirTime...

The "Remove Vehicles After Suicide/Disconnect" would be a good serverside variable, mainly because it is simple Yes/No.

[EDIT]: Design Of The Mutator (Codename: LimitWheel)

• Server has publicly readable variable containing list of locked vehicles, can be configured through menu or INI file (maybe UT2004.ini?)
• (UWGUI4CarSelect [?]) While/before Car Selection menu initialisation, read list and only add cars not on the "blacklist" to the list box

This might simplify some work, though I have not yet learned how to make publicly accessible variables or conditionally diverting from code (if the mutator is loaded).

Here's some damage from the next version of UnWheel...

Oh, and I've implimented a "DissallowedVehicles" list for each gametype, so server administrators can restrict specific vehicles from each gametype.

 

[ProjectX]

That is good. I am satisfied. For now

 

[Ravu al Hemio]

Looking forward!

I tried to implement the DisallowedVehicles thing myself, but alas, I am not yet too proficient at coding UT2k4 (even though I am fairly good at C-like and Basic programming).

BTW, is there a nice detailed tutorial about making vehicles for SVehicle? I might want to make/convert some...
