You're invited to the first official /vr/_Netplay LAN Party.

The residents of the /vr/_Netplay IRC have decided to hold an openended LAN Party tonight (5/2/2014) at 7PM PST/10PM EST and going on until who-the-fuck-knows. Everyone reading this thread is more than welcome to come and participate. We're welcoming and open to anyone who wants to play.

Private dedicated servers with low pings and (hopefully) lots of players, and Skype+Ventrillo users if interested.

The games we'll be playing tonight are -

Unreal Tournament '99 (GOTY Edition)
https://www.mega.co.nz/#!NVM30QzD!DwTxJj5VlwYl6Zjj6GbIUALu-8lQTZjJcOq4G_RBQ3M

Mega Man 8Bit Deathmatch
https://mega.co.nz/#!yVRmGZCY!HNyVzmLv1ho9_iZ_okYLhiNjBmYPnA3WdJpjpY8qBao

Quake 3 Arena
https://www.mega.co.nz/#!JZEUXDTJ!IXVEJn4ZOXcVnlQv-WckvgHsnGEGi-DkGiuiU56hUxA

Please, we'd love for everyone who can play, of any skill level, to join in and participate. We want this to be a good time.

Join the IRC tonight, and get ready to have a good time

Isn't this just a netplay thread? Seeing as none of this is done locally with <10ms latency?

given the circumstances, i think it's being used more as a "in the spirit of" than an actual lan party, since it will be done online. op is trying to get people together to play video games, like an old school lan party, to hang out and have fun

The only differences in robots is skins.
So you only played it with Classes, then?

>> No.1591018

>>1591012
yeah I was metalman and I steamrolled everyone and got bored pretty quick. if there is a mode with pickups and shit then its probably aight. I didn't know every server I had tried was classes.

>> No.1591021

>>1591018

We've never ran Classes. The servers we've run have pickups instead of classes. Being a robot master is simply a cosmetic feature.

If you guys want to change the language of the game after using the installer in the OP, go into the System folder and open UnrealTournament.ini in Notepad or another text editor.

From there, change the language from est to eng.
Save and reboot.

Hopefully you guys keep this shit going for longer than one night. I'd like to join but GTAO is giving out double exp and cash tonight and tomorrow

If you guys are still around late tomorrow or Sunday, I think I will try to swing by.

If you guys are welcoming additions to the roster, can I recommend GTA2 and Worms: Armageddon?

Yeah, I'm going to try and run this every weekend. We'll be up and running all weekend and down for any other games.

I'll be doing a game rotation every Friday to just keep the interest alive, but we play whatever at any time.
