Aunque estaba esperando a subir la nueva versión de 4U para comentarlo recientes acontecimientos me han forzado a decirlo ya.

Los usuarios que lo deseen pueden acceder a 4unrealers a través del puerto alternativo 6666. Esto está pensado para aquellas personas que pasan a través del proxy-transparente de telefónica, pero cualquiera es libre de acceder a través de ese puerto.

Como efecto colateral deberías notar algo que el tiempo de carga de las páginas disminuye como efecto positivo.

Daniel Vogel de Epic Games, ha sacado la primera versión del RAD Pixomatic software para poder jugar al ut2003 via Software por el cual lo que tengan Tarjetas Graficas lentas tengan una nueva opción de ejecución del UT2003.

Para los posibles bugs etc, pide que se pasen por Foro Oficial UT2003

UT2003 Software Renderer for 2225
A zip file containing the integration of RAD's Pixomatic software renderer into UT2003 can be found here. Unzipping it into the UT2003/System directory and adding the following section to your UT2003.ini file

[PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice]
FogEnabled=True
Zoom2X=True
LimitTextureSize=True
LowQualityTerrain=True
TerrainLOD=10
SkyboxHack=True
FilterQuality3D=1
FilterQualityHUD=1
HighDetailActors=False
SuperHighDetailActors=False
ReduceMouseLag=False
DesiredRefreshRate=0
DetailTexMipBias=0.000000
Use16bitTextures=False
Use16bit=True
UseStencil=False
UseCompressedLightmaps=False
DetailTextures=False
UsePrecaching=True

should then allow you to select it by modifying your UT2003.ini file as follows.

RenderDevice=PixoDrv.PixoRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=Engine.NullRenderDevice
;RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice

Keep in mind to lower your resolution to maybe 320x240 or 512x384 in case you have a slow CPU. You can do this from the console by typing "setres 320x240" or "setres 512x384" respectively.

Aunque evidentemente nada del resto de la noticia son más que rumores, al menos resultan esperanzadores. Quien no haya soñado nunca con algo así que lance la primera piedra.

Parece ser que Telefónica tiene planeado introducir la tecnología Fast-Path en 4-6 meses (Septiembre/Noviembre de este año) como efecto colateral de actualizar viejos equipos de red. Para los que no lo recuerden, tener fast-path activado en tu línea significa poder jugar con pings inferiores a los 90-120ms a los que estamos acostumbrados la mayoría de los usuarios de ADSL.

Para más información os recomiendo visitar la web Pro Fast-Path.

En el foro Optimizer ha publicado un vídeo sobre el nuevo mod de ut2003 Strike Force 2003.

Optimizer dice: "I did a movie of some gameplay footage this morning. The movie is in windows media .wmv format. It's not the best quality because the capture program I used made me run in 640 X 480 mode and the frame rate goes down quite a bit using this program. Anyway, have a look if you like."

¿Cansado de jugar con aburridos bots a los que se les ve de lejos la estrategia que van a seguir a continuación? Pues de la mano de Unreality nos hemos encontrado un nuevo Mutator llamado SUPERBOTS que os dará la solución cuando entrenais con bots.

Este Mutator convierte a los habituales bots en mejores jugadores. Realizan dodgejump, el dodging habitual para moverse con más velocidad, están atentos para coger los powerups más interesantes, lo que conocemos como "timear", y mucho más.

Para probar el mutator Superbots podeis descargarlo desde aquí

Aunque entiendo que lo que ocurrió con las 2 ultimas noticias de bkn ha sido un malentendido y no ha sido malintencionado aprovecho esta ocasión para pediros que por favor, noticias de menor importancia o que no están completamente decididas no las mandéis.

Un clan que se fusiona es noticia, un nuevo miembro de un clan, si no es algo estilo campeón mundial de WCG de la última edición o similar no es de interés para todo el mundo por lo tanto sería mejor no poner la noticia en 4U, al igual que las decisiones que no están del todo pensadas.

!sK! uno de los antiguos "top clan" españoles ha vuelto para dar guerra.

El clan SpecTral Korps ha vuelto como clan de Unreal Tournament CTF tal cual lo fue en sus tiempos, nuestras aspiraciones es poder llegar a jugar la proxima Eurocup de Clanbase, o en su defecto en la primera division de la Opencup con aspiraciones de que un clan español llegue a ganar por primera vez una Opencup_1ª division / Eurocup.

Sabemos que es un reto muy dificl y entendemos que tenemos muchos factores en contra tal cual es la discriminacion hacia los clanes españoles ( en todos los sentidos ) y el ping ( factor principal y el ams decisivo ), teniendo en cuenta todas estas cosas y algunas mas, tened por seguro k intentaremos hacerlo lo mejor posible y esperamos todo vuestro apoyo al cual lo hicisteis tiempo atras, para ello os pedimos todo vuestro apoyo en los posibles matchs de cualquiera que sea la competicion ( EC/OC ) o division en la que seamos admitidos.

Tb deciros que buscamos un ultimo jugador para completar el clan, a poder ser defensa y con la mayor experiencia posible, si alguien esta interesado en ser nuestro webmaster tb buscamos uno, por no comentar la falta de "organizadores" es plan general para el clan, para todo esto y cualquier otra duda o pregunta que tengais podeis encontrarnos en:

#ut.sK / canal principal @ irc.quakenet.org
#sK.online / canal de repoters y radio @ irc.quakenet.org

Para el tema de "orgas" y webmaster contactar Gizmo/Synx.

Nada mas que añadir, tan solo daros las gracias por el buen recibimiento que nos disteis 2 dias atras cuando se dio a conocer esta noticia.

Un mes más la revista especializada en juegos multiplayer ( MPA ) lanza un nuevo número con un diseño algo distinto al que nos tiene acostumbrados y que este mes trata los siguientes contenidos:

El grupo de programadores http://www.utpg.org/encargado del UT ha sacado un nuevo parche para el Unreal Tournament que pasa a la versión 451.

Pd...Recordad que Epic ya no es la encargada de la evolución del UT, la cual ha dejado en manos de otras personas, pero ellos siguen dando el visto bueno a las modificaciones.

Bajar :

utpgpatch451.exe
utpgpatch451.exe
utpgpatch451.zip

utpgpatch451.tar.bz2 (linux)
utpgpatch451.tar.bz2(linux)

Cambios:

Unreal Tournament version 451 Release Notes Version 451 is completely network compatible with all previous public releases of UT.
Server requires clients to be at least version 432.
WebAdmin fixed, linux server should have a working webadmin again

Package code execution exploit fixed

LogMaxConnPerIPPerMin defaults to false

IRC chat client fixes

\n bug fixed

long lines are wrapped

wrapped lines are indented for better readability

Added protection against brute forcing the admin login:

[Engine.GameInfo]
LoginDelaySeconds=0.0 Number of seconds after an incorrect login before login is allowed again.
MaxLoginAttempts=0 Maximum number of login attempts before an action is taken
ActionToTake= What to do when the maximum number of login attempts has been reached

Values for ActionToTake:
DO_Nothing
DO_Log Will log the player's name, IP, and number of attempted logins to server's log
DO_DisableLogin Player will be unable to perform adminlogin for remainder of match
DO_KickPlayer Player will be kicked from server
DO_KickBanPlayer Player will be banned from the server br>
ex: ActionToTake=DO_DisableLogin

Added a caching system to the webadmin to reduce the impact on the running game
Added -logprefix option to `ucc`. Enabled preflush log prefixes
Extended IP ban list to allow 256 entires

Improved the console functions 'get' and 'set' to allow editing of array config variables Usage: to get an value of an array item use the following command:

get Engine.GameInfo IPPolicies #
Where # is the number starting from 0, if you omit the number the first element is returned

set Engine.GameInfo IPPolicies # new value
Where # is the number starting from 0, you must specify the number
Items in the open location box are moved up in the list when reused

Fixed server lag exploit from chatting. Added a config variable "bLogTypingEvents" to the Engine.StatLog class. If the server does not wish to be vulnerable to this exploit, setting this variable to false will cause the resulting ngStats logs (both world and local) to not record player chatting events.
Fixed lag exploit possible through replication statement error
Fixed lag exploit with ShowInventory command
Fixed lag exploit in the ShowPath command, only admins can use this command
Server lag exploit possible from viewing players fixed

Rocket Arena 2003 update!
Posted on Tuesday, May 06 @ 16:20:39 by malkith
As a mapper for the RAut2k3 team i am happy to announce that the beta version of RA made a giant step towards a release early this morning.

I spoke to a tired Rork, head programmer for RAut2k3, this night and here´s what he said.
"Better late than never, I guess... I've been pretty slow and working on too many things, but I'm now working on RA only. Moreover, it took some time to build some "underground logic" for things to come. Development should get faster from now on, and I'll release updates a lot more often. "
That is really good news, from now on the whole team will be working more intense to get this baby out. He also made me happy by sending me the first alpha version of RA, and it looks very promising. Now when i map i will be able to put many arenas in one and choose from a menu etc.
Now i have to hurry up to do 1 or 2 more maps.

Nuevas noticias sobre el UTV para el UT2003.
El que fuera creador del UTV para el UT (Fnordia), y desarrollador del UTV2003 junto con Epic, ha anunciado que han enviado una nueva versión beta a Epic, la cual podría pasar a disposición del público muy pronto.

UTV public beta
Posted on Thursday, May 08 @ 14:53:48 by ErecT
I just spoke with Fnordia, the developer of UTV for UT1. He and sj is now hired by Epic to develop UTV for UT2k3.
Fnordia says: We send Epic a new version of UT2k3 yesterday so a public beta release will probably be availeble soon.

Fnordia is known for his superb work and I belive that UTV for UT2k3 will be something speciall since this time he has full access to the sourcecode for UT2k3 after signing a non disclosure agreement with Epic. Hopefully this will land a fulltime job on Epic for thoose two guys since we need more actuall gamers to be part of the development of gaming.

Thx for your work Fnordia!

Ya ha salido la primera beta publia del Mod Marble Madness para Ut2k3.

Es una total conversion que tiene muy buena pinta. Osea que esta muy currada pero a mi el tema de manejar una pelotita pues no me va mucho pero como curiosidad ¡pues ale!

Ha salido un Pack de mapas NO OFICIAL para el modo invasion.
Descarga

The Dead Cat Invasion maps were created for individual use and for network play on dedicated servers. They are designed expressly for the UT2K3 Invasion game mode, but will also work in the Deathmatch and the Team Deathmatch modes as well. All eight of these levels are copyrighted by Epic Games and Toonces T. Cat, Balefire, and Hobi-Wan. They may not be used for any purpose other than game-play without the express consent of the copyright holders.

Each map has eight additional weapons built in that are usually not a part of Normal Weapons game-play. These include: the Super Shock Rifle, a Colt Peacemaker, an MP5 with Grenade Launcher, a Benneli Shotgun, the Fyrian Cannon, the PIC...or Personal Ion Cannon, Sentinel Deployer...which places either floor or ceiling mounted Sentry Guns much like those from the film Aliens, and the Sniper Rifle from the original Unreal Tournament.
Finally, the .ut2MOD file installs the Map Pack automatically, but there are many features involving the eight additional weapons which are fairly complex. To learn how to properly use the new weapons, please click on the Release Notes button when the installation is finished. You may also go into the UT2003Help directory and double-click on the file DCInvasionMaps.html at any time to get help.

Sierra ha anunciado que han asignado la nueva versión de Tribes: Tribes Vengeance a Irrational Games, desarrolladores de System Shock 2. Esta nueva versión de Tribes saldrá en el 2004.

La nota de prensa en la página completa de la noticia.

También acabo de leer una entrevista sobre este juego en IGN.

In Tribes: Vengeance’s single-player campaign, gamers become immersed in a roiling galactic thriller. Throughout the game, the player catches glimpses of other, interrelated stories that are unfolding behind-the-scenes. In addition, gamers are given the opportunity to experience the full scope of the single-player story through multiple viewpoints and characters. Powered by an enhanced version of the Unreal Engine, the world is brought to life with characters that have facial expressions and fully-realized personalities, vehicles that kick up dust as they pass by, and weapons that display spectacular effects.

Cambios de la 2199 a la 2225

NEWS: Update 2225 Change List... ====================================
Making the game feel more like the original UT:
- upgrade to this patch, and install the bonuspack
- use the UTClassic mutator
- use small weapons (Settings|Player menu)
- set FOV to 90 (Settings|Player menu)
- use the Evil Announcer from the bonus pack (set the announcer voice in the Settings|Audio menu)
- install the BrightPlayerSkins mod (client side only)
====================================
FULL CHANGE LIST from version 2199

GamePlay:
- allow several different default characters.
Change the default character by adding the following line to the [xGame.xPawn] section of your user.ini file: PlacedCharacterName="aname" where aname can be "Gorge" (the default), "Sapphire", "Malcolm". "Mokara", "Rapier", "Brutalis", or "Roc"
- fixed no instigator bug with goop and grenades if killer was blown up before making kill.
- added new mutator "DelayedSpawn". This mutator delays the initial spawning of superweapons and super powerups (like UDamage, superhealth, and supershield)
- fixed sporadic problem with giving assist credit to players not involved in flag capture in CTF
- fixed sporadic problem with pawns not animating on clients
- Fix adding in an extra bot when you've chosen custom bots and are spectating.
- custom bots stay on the teams they were put on, and ignore team balancing in standalone games.
- The player who changes the color of the DDOM point scores the 5 points, not the last player.
- fixed bug where could sometimes translocate into static meshes
- spectators can only chat with spectators if bPartitionSpectators config option is true. This option is false by default, and can be made true by adding bPartitionSpectators=true to the [Engine.BroadCastHandler] section of your UT2003.ini file.
- support for new brighter teamskins (set by bright skins option in the Game Rules tab). You must have BrightSkins patch downloaded for this to work. (brightskins is client-side only)
- fixed displaying name of player who returned flag in flag return message
- announce name of scorer in bombing run
- "use map bot count" always adds at least 3 bots for team games
- no time limits in LMS or Invasion
- fixed joining LMS server as spectator after match has started not limited to only spectator slots
- added configurable GameInfo property LateEntryLives. Defaults to 1. This is how many lives another player can have lost and you can still join, for a maxlives game like LastManStanding.
- fixed IronDeity shield spawning
- fixed CTF-DoubleDammage camouflage mesh
- fixed weapon throwing on listen server clients
- projectiles can affect dead bodies in net games
- improved scoreboard support for long names
- server side control for turning off weapon viewshake by adding the following line to the [engine.gameinfo] section of your UT2003.ini file: bWeaponShouldViewShake=false
- new configurable property to prevent shield stacking of small shields. To disable shieldstacking, add the following line to the [UnrealGame.DeathMatch] section of your UT2003.ini file: bNeverShieldStack=true
- zoom supershockrifle firing through multiple people now configurable (true by default). To change, add the following lines to your UT2003.ini (server side): [XWeapons.ZoomSuperShockBeamFire] bAllowMultiHit=false
- no superweapons in mutant
- fixed auto-slope. Since this wasn't functioning before, you may have it turned on accidentally.
- added configurable property to control screen flash brightness, with values between 0 and 1 (1 is the default). To modify this property, add the following line to the [Engine.PlayerController] section of your user.ini file. ScreenFlashScaling=+1.0
- added new mutator "UTClassic" ,with its own server browser icon. Modifies the weapons to feel more like the original UT's weapons: All weapons do more damage. Slower weapon switching. Shieldgun charges faster, slightly longer range, less self damage for impact jumping Minigun firing modes switched, no lockdown effect Shockrifle regular fire slower, does more damage.

- added configurable properties to UTClassic to control double jumping. These are all enabled by default. To disable, add the following section to your UT2003.ini file: [UTClassic.MutUTClassic] bCanDoubleJump=true bCanWallDodge=true bCanDodgeDoubleJump=true

where CustomCrosshair can have any value between 0 and 13, and the Crosshair color is in 8 bit RGBA format. You can also use your own custom textures (after importing them into a utx) by adding CustomCrosshairTextureName="package.texture" (where package is the name of the UTX package, and texture is the name of the texture in the package.

HUD/Scoreboard:
- 4 digit fph

AI:

- fixed xEmitter memory leak

- To customize bots without using the custom bot config menu, add a [UnrealGame.CustomBotConfig] section to your UT2003.ini. Then add lines like this one to the section: ConfigArray=(CharacterName="Gorge",PlayerName="The_Reaper",FavoriteWeapon="xWeapons.RocketLauncher",Aggres siveness=0.400000,Accuracy=0.000000,CombatStyle=0.400000,StrafingAbility=0.765789,Tactics=0.000000,Reactio nTime=0.000000,bJumpy=True) where CharacterName = the bot character you are modifying PlayerName = the name to override the character name with All the AI settings range from 0 to 1, with 0.5 as the default value.

PokeTerrain( vector WorldLocation, int Radius, int MaxDepth )

All values are in world units. It pushes a squashed sphere into the terrain at the location specified. Negative MaxDepth values will raise the terrain at the specified location.
