im kinda bumming too ... ive got that tech Voice pack done, but i really am having a hard time to getting around to the others   .
If you can't finish a map i guess you could pass whatever you got done to someone else in the group so they can finish it ... (not me of course  ) |

I'm very busy with the mod as usual
I haven't posted a lot of new stuff the last few weeks. Many things on the mod happen in the "coding background", its hard to show screenshots of it Or those things were just too small. The remote charge is now fixed. What do you think about having 3 charges at once?
I also have to finish up ALL the maps I'm working on. Theres always something to do, I just don't have the time. The time it takes to build a map is "wasted" time that I could have used for models and lots of other things that have to be done.  However, the mod is nothing without maps 
I've completed the work on the HUD. It might need some tweakin on the weapons bar but I'm happy with it for the moment.
The release of Mars Wars isnt too far away. I'll send you guys another test version someday. Then you can check the internet play because thats one of the things I cant do at all.
Probably we'll have to fix things after that, if that happens another test version is coming and after that the public release.
I'm very very happy how the mod is looking and how it plays.
edit: I thought that shot looks pretty funny There is one problem with the numbers(digits). Their "aligment" is set to the left side. But it should be the right side. I think thats pretty bad but I couldnt figure out how to fix it. (its ok if you can't understand my weird child english haha
the adrenaline will be completely removed.
Oh yeah, I just remembered that the invulnerably pickup still has to be done. But the code is hard to think of. Ah yeah, I'll ask on 3dbuzz. And I still have to fix that crash bug. I cant remember who, but some1 (edit...it was DVL_IAC )said the impact effects crash his PC. I always forgot to save the "dangerous weapons" list he wrote down, but will take care of it now. |

Looking good REDFROG. One thing that I can't see from that screen shot is the chat box. in the previous versions, the chat box was where it is in Red Faction but when somebody got fragged, the message was placed right over the chat box and then it became hard to read it.  |

Yeah 
I've tryed hard to create the same type of chat box that Red Faction used.
This cool chatbox is one of the reasons why Red Faction became so popular to us. It's THE way to communicate with players All the information is displayed in that box..that fades out when nothing happens..  The guys at volition know how to design things
(I remember I often jumped to type short messages while fighting  )
The HUDs from the last testversions were trash. I didn't know how they worked, but I can only learn it by trying 
So, the deathmessages and chat is now at the bottom left again.
There's a nasty problem when you type in a lot of things and there is no space for it on the screen so it skips the line. By skipping the line the text will continue at the left side of the screen, even when the text started in the middle (as it happened on the older versions)
There is a mod called Troopers. Its a huge mod with lots of code. Even these guys couldnt fix it, or maybe they dont know about it because UT2004 players usually dont chat at all (saying "lol" and "haha" aint chatting )
It seems to be hardcoded
DVL_IAC have you tryed to run the mod with LOW World detail?
This setting will not show all the impact effects.
I'm pretty lost with this bug. You said the railgun AND the pistol crash your game. But the weapons use totally different impact effects I can't remember if I used "sparks" (an emitter type) for the handgun impacts. Perhaps these crash your PC, but that is just not possible because everything should work on any (newer) PC.
And I think you said you have a Nvidia graphics card. It would be pretty stupid if that card cant handle all effects, nvidia is a sponsor of the game...
Have you patched UT to the last build? 3355 or something. |

ok, so if that works for DVL_IAC, we'll just add to the description file that it requires that UT be patched up to v3369 ... |

I've never patched my ut04. It's still the exact same version as it was when I first installed it. I guess I should install the newest patch. Can someone link me up to the download location?
[edit] NVM its right here on l4y.
[edit 2] Downloaded and installed patch, mod works perfect now!  32 bots in RF is crazy. Regular RF should of had bots! |

Which probably means you either found a no-CD crack for it or you always had to have the CD in your drive. Either way it's a big no-no in my book.
I think the second update fixed the CD problem, which I for one was most grateful. 
REDFROG good to know that the chat box is working so so. You are right, in UT2004 most player either type bad words or use the built in voice chat program to communicate. I usually only type either GRRR, LOL or LMAO. I use the microphone whenever possible and the server is set to allow it. |

Which includes the bonus pack - which i think is what you need, the bonus pack, not the acuall patch... but its easier to just say... get 3369! |

i think she (or he) is lost ... either she is talking about red faction the game, or she is talking about the first beta release (because she posted twice the UT2k4 section) ... she posted Here and Here too ... |

Ya, right after I installed it I got a no CD crack for it, then never felt a need to patch it because I never noticed any problems and the patches aren't really essential. |

My version has never required a CD since I installed it.
Which is good, seeing that I have 10 CDs for UT2004 that I would have to browse through to find the right one. |
Those who follow the path of others lack the imagination or courage to create their own.
In my spare time I like to write game reviews for Game Revolution. |
