Nice! Been looking out for this one. This must be one of the first big UT2004 total conversions to release, nice work. Downloading... :)

downloaded. played... its almost like near-commercial quality , for the price of free software...

but i have this urge to poke at problems... like just now i was playing with the master of disaster and , well, i jumped at a ledge, the wheels were too big again, same problem with the 2k3 version, but much more pronounced in the 2k4 version because the wheels didnt need to be as big as the one on the caterpillar truck, the master of disaster simply dissapeared...

ok to put it another way , like i was driving in the master of disaster, and i drove it off a slope, it went airborne, then one of the front wheels hit the corner of a ledge or something, and the whole car dissapeared, and i had to restart the map...

now, if only i can restart the game without reloading the map, like respawn/teleport all vehicles to starting positions... i have always always always wished for this since i first played unwheel almost a year ago....

also about the doublesider... umm... it seems like almost an exact replica of the 2k3 version, except for the updated physics and the new colours and stuff...but like, when it flips by the x axis (corkscrew) , it should face the other way, not continue facing the same way as it was before , as you can see from the direction of the treads on the tires... because as it is now, if the doublesider flipped, it will act as if its driving in reverse when your driving forwards... it only should mantain its current orientation when it flips by the y axis (summersault) , like when you try to plough it against a wall , it 'rolls' on its wheels... speaking of which, i think the doublesider should have much bigger torque ... hmm now where can i go to define the torque curve things... i want it to behave like those toys... bigger torque, but less top speed...

There is no A.I. to the game as of now (should be in the next release, Shrimp's tearing away at it :) ). The problem you have has been addressed on a similar thread. We should probably sticky an answer on the general forum about it. I'll just get the answer and be back.

EDIT: Ok here it is:

Shrimp said:
No UMod for this release...

Make sure you have added the following to the UT2004.ini of the host in the [Engine.GameEngine] section:
Code:
ServerPackages=UnWheel
ServerPackages=UnWheelVehicles__________________

A little Multiplayer FYI

A lot has changed from 2k3 to 2k4 in multiplayer, this area needs a lot of work so when you try the multiplayer you will notice a lot of strange things like in CTF you collect many flags that are false and some times it appears that the wheels are flying off the car, Shrimp is aware of these problems from the playtesting before release and i am sure most of it will be fixed by the next release, shrimp is just good like that :) , but there was no time to worry about it before the E3 deadline.

I hope you will implement the SVehicle code for the next version :mad:

:)

If you look at the code structure it is... technically.

The entire KVehicle things is subclassed under SVehicle

Anyway, what's wrong with KVehicle?

I looked at the structure by opening the package Unwheel.u in UnrealEd (i needed some UnWheel specific volumes for a map) and I noticed that in SVehicle there was a KVehicle and in there was the starting point for the UW Vehicles.

err, assuming kvehicle subclasses the new svehicle class (which im not sure it does) then they would both be handled the same in replication you would have to think...

lets put it this way, you either get the UT2K4 version now, with Kharma instead of animations or you get a UT2K4 version that is nowhere near as good in about a year.

Anyway we must have ok FPS if we made finalist in best non-FPS in MSUC, after all there's no bots or a.i. so they had to try it online right?

lets hope that they got some kick (donkey) machines in the nvidia big booths for running classical high detail karma physics, and that they dont see any vehicles going through walls/wheels get stuck through objects/ poofing entirely/do the exploding trick

(i have seen sometimes that in the citytrack that comes with the newest unwheel, when im racing as the blue viper, around one of the corners it would 'teleport' for abit, and the wheels will fly back into their places...looks wierd...)

is it possible to have both onslaught vehicles and unwheel vehicles running at the same time in the same map?
