I'm uploading a9 of Pain2K3 to the WMP ftp this very moment. I'll post links in the WMP news tomorrow. In the meantime, here's the list of changes for you all to observe:

Psycho-kinetic powers override foot-mounted rockets rather than multiplying their effect.
Psycho-kinetic power-granting pills now have purply rather than blue innards to reflect the purply aura it grants you.
Foot-mounted rockets now increase your speed underwater.
-Foot-mounted rockets have been renamed "foot-mounted propulsion system" to reflect this addition.
Foot-mounted propulsion system gives you metally footstep sounds.
Foot-mounted propulsion system rockets shoot in the right direction now.
Cybernetic legs have a new trail effect.
Nuker skin has been recolored.
Nuker now uses the same zoom method as the assault gun to reduce unzooming when getting shot.
Nuker scope looks different.
Nuker cloaking field failure effect has been modified.
Nuker laser dot isn't all ugly anymore.
ERPPC charge sound volume is now inversly proportional to its charge, significantly reducing its idle buzzing volume.
Railgun isn't all elongated anymore, and no longer clips into your HUD when fired.
Railgun skin has been recolored.
Railgun is no longer treated as a super weapon.
Shoulder cannon no longer fires automatically when not in use because it kept killing things before I could shoot them. :Þ
Spontaneous Combutstion mutator combustion frequency has been reduced.
Weapons now use ammo! For now, weapons can't be thrown unless due to death, because it messes up your ammo for other weapons of that type. Ballance pending.
New weapons added:
-Person Launcher
-Fleischmacher
New mutators added:
-Full Arsenal
-Pain Ammo
m6A31T not removed due to Nemephosis' screaming at me when I considered dumping it. ;)

As you can see, there's a fair amount of newness here, so I'll be expecting some feedback. ;)


Hearing all this neat stuff makes me want to have UT2k3 just so I can play that mod. :D

Of course, I would play others also.

Yeah right, my computer can barely handle regular UT now, and I know it can't support UT2k3, so I can forget about 2k4. It used to handle UT well, but I think the amount of content on my computer is slowing it down and UT used play all wierd and skippy and somtimes, I would try to move, but I couldn't even though everything else was active.

I've pretty much forgotten about UT. IT will probably be until I get my own living quarters and computer before I can play any more UT(or play it in my mom's class room, but I would have severe limited time and it just wouldn't be worth it).

Hey, uh, does the Shoulder Cannon fire automatically AT ALL now? Cause when I have it selected it doesn't fire at enemies automatically. . .Maybe you could make secondary fire for Shoulder Cannon make it shoot at targets even when deselected. . . ?

Quote from the a9 readme: "Shoulder cannon no longer fires automatically when not in use because it kept killing things before I could shoot them. :Þ"
It used to fire automaticall when you didn't have it selected.
I don't think I'll be putting it back in. I thought it was annoying.

I know, I read the readme ;) What im saying is, make secondary fire (or something) enable/disable the auto firing. That would be uber 1337. AT leats, I think it would. .

I haven't yet started planning for 2K4. I may see what I can do with vehicles, though. Speaking of 2K4, I still haven't even installed the demo.
