La primera fase de la Tactical Ops Nations Cup ha terminado hoy con una importante victoria de España ante Grecia.

El informe completo sigue a continuación.....

Fuente: ClanBase

Ya estamos aqui otra semana con las noticias del Tactical Ops, me he enterado que el Tactical Ops os encanta a todos por lo que seguiremos semana tras semana

Bueno hoy la war era contra nuestros colegas los Griegos, el mapa: Trainstation, y el server: [+=]BloodyGreeks server ( Barrysworld ).

Jugadores:
SWAT: Txeriff-Carnicero, Khrono-UTero, Legolas-Legoliano, Aragonius-Eastwood, Cohete-Monsterkill, Mc_Fly-Nade_Malabar

Terroristas: Kobretti-Leader, Lando-GM-come_balas. Fingolfin-mata_Lando's, Aragonius-EastWood, Cohete-Monsterkill, Mc_Fly-Nade_Malabar

Empezamos nosotros de SWAT ( atacando ), la verdad es que empezamos muy bien ganando los 2 primeros rounds. A partir de alli la cosa fue mas dificil.Despues de 20 minutos logramos hacer 4 rounds, por lo que la cosa pintava bastente bien.... ya que en Trainstation es muy dificil puntuar de SWAT si hay una buena defensa.

Ahora venia lo bueno, jugando nosotros de Terroristas nuestro objetivo era que no ellos puntuasen mas de 4 rondas. La cosa empezo bien ganando el primer round con algunos apurillos.... a partir de aqui la cosa fue mejor ya que teniamos mas €€€ (mejores armas). Presentamos una grandiosisima defensa cubriendo al 300% todos los puntos clave. Solo pudieron romper la defensa en 2 de sus infinitos ataques por lo que ganamos la emocionante war

Resultado:
Spain 4 - 2 Greece

Aqui esta la clasificacion final de nuestro grupo.

Group C
Win Loss Draw Rounds
1 ESP 3 - - 22/17
2 GRE 2 1 - 20/14
3 POL 1 2 - 14/21
4 ITA 0 3 - 12/16

Ahora nos tocara jugar contra Francia.

A POR TODAS !!!!!!

Al igual que nuestros compañeros, los PLOF, han puesto a disposición de todos los unrealers su server; a nosotros, los ®å, nos ha parecido una estupenda iniciativa y hemos decidido continuar con el ejemplo.
Nosotros también tenemos un server español, por lo que el ping es igual de bajo que el de 4gamers, con la ventaja, de que NewProyect ofrece servidores más estables y con menor lag incluso, que los de 4g.

La IP es: 213.190.4.47:7777 y la pass, excepto cuando tengamos partido o entrenamiento será: angel
Too easy no? ;o)
Bueno, pues que lo disfrutéis con mucha salud.

Kyle Peschel, alias MkPezman, productor jefe online de infogrames Inc, ha comentado las caracteristicas del nuevo parche, y a la vez a dicho que estara disponible, si nada falla en 1 semana.

Caracteristicas nuevo parche

Recordar que para entrar en el foro oficial, hay que estar previamente registrado.

Caracteristicas.

Demo Recording:

Demos can be recorded either on a server, or in single player. Recording a demo as a client in a
network game is not yet supported.

Recording:

To record a demo on your server, start the server with the ?demorec URL parameter. For example:

ucc server dm-gael?game=xgame.xdeathmatch?demorec=mydemo

Will record the game to the demo file mydemo.dem. If you leave off the "=mydemo.dem",
the server will record a demo with a unique filename starting at demo0001.dem, demo0002.dem etc.

You can also use the "demorec" console command at the server console to start recording
a demo after a match has started. For example, "demorec mydemo" or just "demorec".

Playback:

Use the "demoplay" console command. For example, "demoplay mydemo". During
playback, pressing Fire will cycle between the players in the game and a free spectator camera.
Pressing Alt-fire will switch between first and 3rd person.

"demoplay mydemo?loop" will cause the demo to loop infinitely until the "stopdemo"
console command is used.

Normally demos play back capped to the frame rate at which they were recorded. To remove this cap,
use "demoplay mydemo?timedemo". This will play the demo back as fast as possible and dump
the average fps to the console at the end of the demo. If a demo recorded at a higher framerate
than your computer is able to play it back, the demo will play in slow motion.

The frame rate dedicated servers use when recording demos is adjustable in UT2003.ini in the [Engine.DemoRecDriver]
section. Change NetServerMaxTickRate and LanServerMaxTickRate. The default values are 30 fps. Increasing
These will increase your server CPU utilization.

Como ya muchos sabeis los pings de las ADSL de España son de los mas altos de europa, con pings de 80-90ms en servers españoles y pings de 100-120ms en europeos. Esto se debe a que las ADSL españolas estan configuradas de modo que añaden un retardo de 60ms a todas las conexiones. Pero esto se puede cambiar habilitando el fast-path en las lineas, con lo que los pings serian de unos 30ms en servers nacionales y de 60-70 en servers extranjeros. Este cambio no afectaria para nada a la calidad de la linea, simplemente mejoraria los pings.

Presionar a Telefonica para que cambie algo es dificil, por eso se han creado unos foros para reunir a gente interesada en este cambio. Desde alli se propondran ideas para conseguir este cambio, y poder por fin disfrutar de pings decentes.

Los foros estan en: http://www.polarhome.com:753/~rodaw/forums/

Ahora vamos a pasar a hablar de la War de hoy, que es lo que la gente le interesa
Esta semana se jugava en Scope, magnifico mapa para los amantes de los snipers y poseedores de buen ping.
El oponente era Polonia, jugadores que en sus servers polacos tienen ping de 25-30 y nosotros 180-250 y nos querian hacer jugar alli. Pero por aqui no pasamos, al final hemos jugado en un server holandes, nosotros con ping 70-80 ONO - 110-140 ADSL - y ellos con ping 70-100 y aun se quejavan que querian el tickrate a 20.

En la war empezamos de Terroristas defendiendo la base ( los rehenes ), la verdad es que empezamos fatal fatal, hasta su 5º o 6º round no reaccionamos. Al final nos metieron 8 active rounds, lo que significa que nosotros teniamos que hacer como minimo 9 para ganar.

Jugando de SWAT, la cosa salio de maravilla. Los polacos usavan una tactica no muy depurada de ir todos juntos ( como una manada de Velociraptores ), y claro nosotros que estavamos muy bien repartidos por el mapa BUM BUM ZAS ZAS todos muertos. A falta de 5 minutos para el final, hicimos nuestro 9º round asi ganando el partido. Luego entre nuestra euforia y todo bajamos la guardia, pero el 10º round el maravilloso Clint Eastwood ( Aragonius ) le metio un cholazo con la Raging bull.

TOTAL:
Spain 10 - 8 Poland

Con esto ya pasamos a playoffs, ahora nos tocara ganar la semana que viene a Grecia para ser primeros de grupo.
Ya sus mantendre informados.

Estas son algunas de sus características de personalización (en inglés)

Of course, there're more parameters you can configure up to your liking:

Bot name -- how will reporter-bot be named in the IRC. 'TTM-reporter' by default.
IRC server -- quakenet.irc.eu.org by default.
Kills to report -- by default set to 'only significant kills'. That means that only info about really important kills will be put in the IRC, such as killing of a flag-carrier kill in CTF games, killing of a ball-carrier in BR games, killing of a guy who's on the killing spree etc. Otherwise reporter bot will tell about just any kill that happens in the game. how will reporter-bot be named in the IRC. 'TTM-reporter' by default
Report pickup of critical items -- if enabled (by default), everytime somebody picks up armor, big keg o'health or double damage IRC-reporter will tell about it.
Red/blue team names -- if you're setting up IRC-broadcating for some clanwar or other important team-based match, you might will to change 'red team'/'blue team' with actual names of participating clans (teams). Those two fields are place where you can set this up.
Report scores every ... seconds -- that's another thing that might be configured to make reporting style perfect. In an intense TDM games it might be good idea to report current team scores every 20-30 seconds. On the other hand, when making broadcasting of CTF match, you might consider setting it at about 1-2 min (since captures aren't happening every couple of seconds ).
Colored reporting -- if enabled (by default), most important messages are appearing in some colors (see example below). Still, if you're on +C channel (no color posting) and can't change it, you might consider change reporting style to color-less one. You can also use colorless reporting if you want to copy-paste your mIRC log to a match report (color-codes in there doesn't help that much).

Drsin Programador de Epic Games en un topic del foro oficial donde preguntaban porque salía conexión corrupta, al intentar conectar a un servidor, ha contestado que eso pasa porque al instalar por ejemplos (Skins, Mapas, Mutadores, etc.) se han instalado de forma incorrecta y al conectar al servidor maestro detecta que el MD5 que envía el cliente es incorrecto o que de alguna forma el archivo.U de la carpeta System del juego se esta modificando y al hacer el chequeo, causa el error.

Aqui pego el post en ingles y la solucion que da.

First off, clients stop running the mastermd5 command. That does nothing for you. The MasterMD5 database is only accessed on the server side.

The corrupted connection detected message occurs only in 1 situtation: The MD5 data sent from the client to server is incorrect with what the server has on record. There are three ways this can happen. The first is that the datapackets that are sent out are come in garbled. This should be impossible under normal circumstances in UT2K3's network code. They are sent as reliable command channel packages which are guarenteed to get there and get there correctly.

The second possiblity is somehow the .U files in the system directoy are being modified. This will cause them to fail the check.

Finally, you may have something installed that is not verifed with the server. These can be anything, voice packs, models that were installed the wrong way, etc.

The first step is to look for modified files. With a clean install of the game + the official patch, please compare your md5 values against these...

¿No echais de menos esa posibilidad que tenía el Unreal Tournament (1) de configurar los bots que entraban en la partida? ya sabes, aquello de ponerles el nombre que quisieras, el skin, equipo etc...

A más de uno le habrá decepcionado que no se pudiera hacer lo mismo en el ut 2003. ¡Pues esas personas estan de enhorabuena!
Han sacado un programa que permite configurar los aspectos y nombres etc de los bots.
El programa sólo ocupa (comprimido) 312.7 KB para los que lo quieran descargar, su link (desde fileplanet) : Descargar

La noticia entera:

JaFo has released version 1.1 of his Bot Manager tool for UT 2003. The new version contains some new features, improvements, and fixes. Anyone who has the desire to customize their bots easily and quickly will want to give this tool a try. More details are below.
teamcolored-skins can be chosen:
This requires you to delete your old configfile. This was possible, because I noticed that adding '_0' or '_1' to the normal skinname let me use the 'red' or 'blue' skin-variant for the botcharacter.
new commandline-parameter: /s:
If the directory is not found then the program gives you a chance to enter the correct one in a little dialog.
new commandline-parameter: /i
'save as' works
saving of XplayersL1.Upl is disabled. Use 'Save as' instead ... This prevents accidental editing of the original Botlist
ragdoll entry works:
So far there's been only the recently updated 'Comic skinpack' by CHRIS OLLIS Link: http://www.planetunreal.com/identitycrisis/cabins/intertwined/
ReactionTime:
should work ... though I haven't seen any real examples
Can select and change multiple bots in one list at the same time.
Support for adding & editing of 'biographies' (deleting of biography not yet implemented)
Custom-content enabled:
If it's started for the first time then program will check for custom-content by reading all the .upl-files in the UT2003\system-directory.

DrSin a postead lo siguiente (muy resumido):

Cuando un nuevo hack aparece al publico,la gente honesta me lo manda para poder comprobar sus efectos.Los hemos probado por LAN y y hemos comprobado que la mayoria buscan la clave para mandarla.
Los servidores no pueden mandarte algo asi,lo tienes que instalar tu.Para colmo,el servidor maestro nunca ve tu clave fisicamente por lo que no podemos saber quien lo robo o como recuperarla.

WARNING: Important information about the current crop of hacks

There are a few external hook hacks available for UT2K3 right now. And while they are not very useful some of them have a serious security risk inside.

When a new hack comes out to the public, I've either got it from the source, or it's sent to me by the honest people in the community (I tend to get 20 or so copies of the same hack within 24hrs). I install each one to test it's threat level. These tests take place on a lan network and not on live servers. At no time do I connect to a server or to the master server.

However, and this is important, all of these tests are done on a machine that has a marked CDkey and we track the usage of that key. So far, there have been at least 9 hits on that key. This means, some if not all of these hacks contain trojans to steal your key.

Consider yourselves warned.

Y añade:
Servers can not send you an external hack like this. You have to find it, download it, install it and run it. The only way you are going to get caught in this particular scam is if you are looking to cheat using a hack.

Additionally, servers, including the master server never see your physical CD key and there is no way to go backwards from the player ID to the CD key. So it's impossible for a mod author to create a mod that could be sent to you to steal your key.

So, in a nutshell, playing online is safe as can be. But when you look to the seedy portions of the community to better your game, be prepared to be scammed!

Ya esta por la red la version 2153 beta 2 del parche para el ut2003, en el cual corrige varios bugs, incorpora el comando demorec para las demos,etc

ut2003-winpatch2153BETA2.exe (esta link no funciona ya)
ut2003-winpatch2153BETA2.exe

Recordar que el parche es una BETA, por el cual Epic no se hace responsable si al instalarlo, el ut2003 falla en algun momento. Asi que si alguien se lo baja es bajo su responsabilidad.

cambios en el UT2003 2153 beta 2


Demo Recording:

Demos can be recorded either on a server, or in single player.
Recording a demo as a client in a network game is not yet supported.

Recording:

To record a demo on your server, start the server with the ?demorec URL
parameter. For example:

ucc server dm-gael?game=xgame.xdeathmatch?demorec=mydemo

Will record the game to the demo file mydemo.dem. If you leave off the
"=mydemo.dem", the server will record a demo with a unique filename
starting at demo0001.dem, demo0002.dem etc.

You can also use the "demorec" console command at the server console to
start recording a demo after a match has started. For example, "demorec
mydemo" or just "demorec".

Playback:

Use the "demoplay" console command. For example, "demoplay mydemo".
During playback, pressing Fire will cycle between the players in the
game and a free spectator camera. Pressing Alt-fire will switch between
first and 3rd person.

"demoplay mydemo?loop" will cause the demo to loop infinitely until the
"stopdemo" console command is used.

Normally demos play back capped to the frame rate at which they were
recorded. To remove this cap, use "demoplay mydemo?timedemo". This
will play the demo back as fast as possible and dump the average fps to
the console at the end of the demo. If a demo recorded at a higher
framerate than your computer is able to play it back, the demo will play
in slow motion.

The frame rate dedicated servers use when recording demos is adjustable
in UT2003.ini in the [Engine.DemoRecDriver] section. Change
NetServerMaxTickRate and LanServerMaxTickRate. The default values are
30 fps. Increasing these will increase your server CPU utilization.

GamePlay:
- friendly fire kills affect team scores

[UnrealGame.UnrealPlayer]
CustomizedAnnouncerPack="NewPackName"

The Pro GUI is just a special menu system that's designed to make running lan based tournaments easier. It removes some things (like most detail settings) and adds some things (like more detailed mouse settings).

It allows tournament admins to configure all machines to a given level and then constrain the amount of tinkering that can go on. Admins preset detail levels and game play settings. Once set they can't be changed.

Of course any nice new feature (like turning mouse sliders in to input boxes for more accurate settings) have been or will be folded back in to the base game

YEAP! because is not only the PRO GUI. The new patch will have a lot of improvements and fixes for all ppl.

I'm not sure the Pro GUI will be a part of the actual patch. It's designed to be a stand alone add-in. It won't really be of any use to anyone not in a lan based tournament. But I'm sure it will be made available in some fashion.

Ya veremos como se comporata el parche version Pro, y el tan alabado y a la vez odiado TTM
