/me has a probleme with the brightskins...

we have all servers updated to 3270 and the clients too now, and i must admit, that i really don't know, if this happened before...

sometimes the skinbright works, sometimes not. switches on and off in the same map without any pattern. Switches not generally, but a player is lighted up, and dies, and then he is dark again, etc...

a mate made a screenshot, where we for testing, took the same model... means, we were 3 players. 1 took the shot, 2 were posing:

another test is switching to 3rd-person view, then the own model seems to be allways or at least very often brighter than the others:

mmm looks like Epic are trying their best to kill our bright skins as every patch they have screwed us an I've had to make changes to get them back.
Ok I will make another hack here and see if I can improve them.

 

[frogger187]

think they have always dimmed on death as well as end game...haven't noticed of these other anomalies.....

 

[ProAsm]

They should only dim at game end - no other time.

 

[frogger187]

i do notice it at death on 3270 servers...but it doesn't do that on my 3236 server...

While you and the 3 players are playing DM-NextMap, 3 more players join the server and they can see DM-LimitMap, and can vote for it, but you and the 3 original players still cannot see DM-LimitMap

Yes, almost! The 3 new players can see and vote for DM-LimitMap at game end of DM-NextMap when the vote menu pops up (because GameVoteTime has already expired).

By the way ... regarding the patch 3270 for Linux. Here in this thread on unrealadmin.org it is described that this is not an official patch of Epic:

http://www.unrealadmin.org/forums/showthread.php?t=7417

Furthermore some files are missing in this so named official patch. I have wondered about that this new patch is about 2 mb smaller than the version before.

Damned, and I have already installed it. That was the first and last time that I have installed something that is not official distributed by Epic.

because GameVoteTime has already expired

And before it expires can the other guys see DM-LimitMap ?

 

[Imaginos]

Admins can see all maps.. They didn't login as such, did they?

 

[PoW]

And before it expires can the other guys see DM-LimitMap ?

Sorry that I don't know because the three new player connected after the expiry time.

Admins can see all maps.. They didn't login as such, did they?

I know that admins can see all maps and no, they were usual players.

 

[ProAsm]

mmm this is a tough one and I'm gonna need you guys to check this out as I have no means of doing that here.

 

[tdw-socke]

well, i would, if i only knew, wht it is, and what to do...

 

[PoW]

This problem I noticed not until Beta 4 because this playing situation should be the pre-condition for it.

Socke, you must have some players playing a map (including you). Then some new players should connect to the server during your play. When the vote window pops up at game end, you cannot see the previous played map because it is under map limit (which is i.e. = 10). The new players who has connected during the game, could see and vote for it instead.
And if majority is reached this previous map will be played again.


I noticed this problem now twice in UT2Vote44B4.

Ok a few questions.

1. Are you playing DeathMatch.
If you are playing DeathMatch, then does it have this problem with Teamgame.
If you are not playing DeathMatch then does it have this problem with DeathMatch.

2. Are you using UseMapList=True ?

3. If you are using UseMapList=True are there any Map-Specific mutators attached - ie: DM-Antalus?Mutator=Whatever.whatever

4. Check you dont have more than 255 maps on your server with this Prefix, ie 'DM'

 

[PoW]

1. Yes, I am playing Deathmatch but not TeamDeathmatch.

2. and 3. No, UseMapList=False

4. No, I don't have 255 maps with the prefix DM on my server There are less! (only the standard maps and approx. 30 custom maps)
