Debido al crecimiento de 4Unrealers estamos viendo que es necesario ampliar el grupo de personas con capacidad para moderar, editar y administrar contenidos. También vamos a ampliar el conjunto de posiciones de Staff para que haya posiciones con diferentes responsabilidades y así evitar mayores problemas. En la página completa de la noticia tenéis toda la información.

A continuación tenéis una tabla con las posibles posiciones y las correspondientes responsabilidades:

Las funciones de moderación no estarán disponibles para un editor así como las funciones de editor no estarán disponibles para un moderador. Sin embargo, los administradores tendrán todos los privilegios de edición y moderación.

Los que estéis interesados tened en cuenta que esto no son poderes a conseguir, son responsabilidad que voluntariamente aceptáis para contribuir a tener una comunidad más sana y de mayor calidad. Si un miembro del Staff no cumple con una actividad básica será relegado de su cargo para que otros puedan ocupar su lugar.

Imprescindible para candidatos a cualquier posición dentro del staff es llevar registrados por lo menos 6 meses en 4Unrealers.

De entre todos los candidatos que envieís la solicitud seré yo, dharana, el que elija quién entra en el grupo de Staff y quién no. Os agradezco a todos vuestro interés por 4Unrealers y vuestros contínuos ánimos para que 4Unrealers continúe hacia adelante.

Enviadme un email todos los interesados en el que me pongáis la tarea que queréis asumir y por qué creéis que debéis tener esa función.

La nueva version de Deathball (el mod de ut2003) ya está disponible.
Se han variado y mejorado muchas características de este mod (tan sólo echadle un vistazo a la lista de cambios).

You can now 'volley-shoot' the ball. That means, push the ball with the shieldgun a moment before you get it. When you got it, it's too late. It will be shot into the direction that you are facing.
No more double goal.
New Pass system (2nd fire); homing mode turned off, It's now a through ball which predicts the players movement (just like in Fifa). It will totally miss him if he doesn't keep on running at the same speed in the same direction.
You can now run from your own half into the other goal. It was considered as 'long shot' in 1.0.
No more crashes when playing with bots.
When the player (you) has the ball, its now shown in the hud. In the previous versions it was just a yellow dot, no matter if you got the ball or not.
New scoring system:

1 point for a frag
2 for fragging the ballowner
3 for a goal
1 for playing a successfull pass
1 for intercept an enemy pass

5 for owngoal
5 for catching a ball as keeper
Whistle sounds instead of "ball reset" voice.
No more announcer in 'celebrating phase' after goal.
Weaponchange time decreased from 0.3 secs to 0.05s
Shieldgun fire now removes 60 healthpoints
You recover 1healthpoint per second if health is lower than 100 (Customizable)
Ball now has a trail (in teamcolor) when ball is shot. So you can see if a ball is shot or passed.
(Doesn't always work online and the trail is not at the ball often)
Toxeen made us jingles, which are played after scoring.
Dynamic Crowd sounds in DB-Cube (the word 0wnage doesn't do this justice, it simply F0wnz!!)
Shieldgun damage field increased from 50 to 65 (radius)
Bot's goalshots are now deadly, they hardly miss the goal.
Bot's don't shoot from own half if long shots are disabled.
Keeper beacon (arrow on head) now is darker.

Aimdot color is remembered correctly now
Widowmaker shoots a little slower
Mac 10 toned down
Fixed the widowmaker 2x zoom on start
Worked on smoke grenades for better fps
Size of aimdot changeable via slider in Options
Go into aim mode while firing
Heartbeat should be going down a littler faster while resting (about 2 BPM every 2 secs) no static vertical recoil anymore.
Added little Random effect so that norecoil keybind isnt that effective anymore
Updated weaponstats. 50% less damage due to the bhardcoremode Bugfix
Inventory should reopen now if closed by error (as long as equipmenttime is running)
Weapon goes to unaimed state when jumping
Trainging maps removed

El mod Lost Species para UT2003 tiene una banda sonora bastante buena, prueba de ello que muchos usarios uteros han pedido a su equipo que pasen esta banda a mp3. Para ello los autores han puesto a disposición del que quiera de un mp3 con esta banda sonora, más 3 extras.

Uno de sus miembros, Foresmir[LS] me ha enviado una muestra de este archivo ambientado en industrial/dance ( 13MB de los que mi correo aún se queja ) para que la escuchara y sinceramente me ha gustado.

Soundtrack mirror:

El pack incluye el menu theme, más 3 extras que serán usados en futuros mapas.

GitzZz gano a Shaggy en los dos mapas que debía. El primero era Liandri elegido por el inglés Shaggy (10-5) y el segundo fue agony con 30-6 para el aleman proclamandose asi campeon del mundo por segunda vez consecutiva.

Por otro lado el jugador español de quake3 Akiles que debiía ganar dos mapas al ruso Unkind perdio 13-10 en un ajustadisimo match donde le falto esa suerte de campeon, el match fue seguido por muchisimos gammers españoles, no solo quakes sino de otros muchos juegos.
Esperemos que entre esto, el 2º puesto en 2vs2 de UT y el 2º en 2on2 de Q3 signifique mucho para el quake3 español y tambien para los demas juegos online españoles en general.

Ya está disponible la versión 1.0 disponible del mod DeathBall. Un mutator interesante ante todo. Es una variación del modo Bombing Run.

This may scare you away, but it sounds way more complicated than it actually is,
so don't be affraid when you read all this.

You are supposed to get the ball into the enemys goal.
You can either play until one team got a certain
amount of goals or you play for a certain time.
[Quad jump is turned on by default]

Zones.
There are 3 different zones on the pitch (which are relevant for the player).
-The 2 Penalty Zones
-The 2 Keeper Zones
-The rest of the pitch.

The normal pitch:
-You can bump around all players except for the ball owner.
Kicking away enemys, and kicking friends to the ball is a tactical method you should use.
-You can kill the ball owner with 2 hits (One hit substracts 50 points).

Penalty Zone:
-In your own zones you can kill all enemies with 1 hit (instant hit).
-A logo in the HUD will show that you entered your own or the enemy's zone.

Keeper Zone:
-Only one player of a team can enter this zone at once (to avoid that teams
have 10 goal keepers), if there are more a counter will count down the time from 5 secs to 0,
if you haven't left until then you will be respawned.
It will also be shown in the HUD that you entered the zone.
-If there is no player in your own zone there will be a warning logo in the HUD
-The Keeper cannot be kicked away by the other team, the keeper always has god mode on.
-If the keeper owns the ball (ballowner is in his own keeper zone) there will be a timer
counting down the time. If you don't get the ball out of the zone in this time
the ball will be reset (to the middle). (Otherwise you could 'hide' with the ball in the zone.
-Only the keeper is able to dodge. (Dodging for others had to be turned off,
because it was all about dodging, and the team who dodges the most wins...You will miss it when you first play it,
but everybody who has played it with it turned on agreed that it has to go.
So the team with the better tactics and the better passes wins.
-You cannot enter the goal, this was made because you often accidentaly made an own goal.

Ball Owner:
-A logo in the Hud will show when you got the ball.
-As Ball owner you are slower than the other players (25%).
-Your jumphigh is reduced by 25% too.
-Moving the crosshair over friends will highlight them with a rotating circle.
To pass the ball just press the 2nd fire button, but 1st fire mode seems to be better for passing in most situations.
-If you wanna shoot the ball use 1st fire, the longer you hold down the button the harder
the shot will be. But if the bar reaches the top the ball will get out of control. The first mode can also be used for passes, often its better.
-When the ball owner gets hit by an enemy he won't be bumped away as far as players without the ball.
But 2 hits are deadly for him (one hit in the enemy's penalty and keeper zone).

Without Ball:
-As player without Ball you can de/activate a mode called 'Pass me the ball!'
An icon in your HUD will show if its on or not. For your teammates the arrow over your head turns yellow
when it's on (normally it has your teamcolor).
You should activate it when you think you are in a good position and ready to catch the ball.
(You don't have to, but It may be helpful in some situations).
When you activate it will stay on for a few seconds...but you can toggle it off if you want it to turn off earlier.

That's it.

En la página de los WCG ya están disponibles varios vods de las partidas de UT. En estos momentos se puede acceder a los siguientes:

• [UT]ViRtU_es vs XS_Pain_us
• [UT]shuukGitzZz_de vs Squall_it

Para poder verlos desde la web es necesario registrarse en los wcg (gratuito). De todas maneras los links directos son bastante más cómodos para bajar los videos al disco duro.

Ahora mismo no puedo facilitar los links directos bajarlos. Si alguien no los da conseguido los ire poniendo como comentarios a esta new. Lo mismo, si alguien no sabe como bajarlos q pregunte

Se acaba de decidir cuáles son los finalistas de este año.

Ahora si gana Gitzzz el primer mapa de la final (dia 3/11/02), se juega otro mapa d desempate. y si gana Shaggy se terminó.

texcoords)
