/vr/ - Retro Games

So how many Nalis have you killed today?

What made UT99 bots so special? Seriously I've never had so much fun playing with bots in any other game.

>>4223430
Out of a lot of games, you were given the option to customize them however you want and some of them had special values to their behavior.

>>4223321
>totalbiscuit is still shilling invisigun
>claiming it's concept is new, novel and innovative
>meanwhile in Unreal 1...

>>4223497
Nali Chronicles had some RPG elements like potion making from ingredients around the map...

you should...borrow..some of these concepts

>>4224070
Nali Chronicles is a toy compared to what I am creating. However crafting for potions will be there.

>>4223332

Please don't bully Nali.

Post necris butts

>>4224220
Will there be dialog choices? NPC companions? New weapons? New maps? Or are you just editing the existing game with minir rpg elements.

Not trying to downplay you at all I think everyone here is grateful and excited I'm just curious if you can tease us with more

>>4224402
I am creating something that does not compromise the contents of the game. It will be similar to Diablo 3 (Adventure Mode), Borderlands, Grim Dawn and Dungeon Siege 2.

No story.
No new maps, because the mod will be compatible with any user-created maps.
No new weapons, because I never understood how to create and import animated 3D models in the game. (there are no guides) , so I'll take something from Unreal Tournament.

>>4224402

>>4224465
With a few lines of code, I've created a tool that allows me to add anything to a level without compromising it.

>>4223497

So what is the spirit and intelligence stats do? Are you adding a magic system or something?

>>4224472
Intelligence increases the amount of Spirit (Mana) and the effectiveness of the spells. Another thing I'm thinking of adding.

>>4224480
I wish I knew more to help you. It would be neat to add new items like nali rabbit meat that drops upon hunting them to add to potion, or have rarer ingredient drops like warlord tusks or devilfish tails

>>4224512
Yes, that's something I'll add in the future.

>>4224542
Does bleeding resistance mean bandages are now an inventory item or is it a general damage over time.

Very excited!

>>4224512
Be able to have some new weapons like the Skaarj's fist blade or the Brute's giant handgun.

Have you considered adding pre-set unique guns? Uniques using UT99 or old beta models would be pretty cool, like being able to find a UT99 rocket launcher with homing grenades or a Automag with the old beta model (pic attached) that has an alt fire that empties the entire mag at once with alt-fire.

>>4224995
Skaar claws are a thing in the Unreal4Ever mod.

this would be a fun game to coop is there any servers running? like is there a new master server i need to replace the gamespy one with to see servers?

>>4225536
just install oldunreal patch.
http://www.oldunreal.com/oldunrealpatches.html

>>4225550
thanks man I had unreal gold installed but didn't see any servers and never knew about this.

>>4223497
Maybe have a 3D model of the weapon on that open space with a brief description.

>>4225536
I recall playing in coop servers up until 2009, there were a few people I remember like zombie or hyper running the game on endless coop loop servers, some had shittons of mods and some just a little. It's also playable in UT99 through monster hunt servers.

>>4225974
SniperParadise was a good server long time ago.

Guess what happened here .. or rather those who died.

>>4226323
Nali cuz nalis die by the dozen

>>4226323
Yes, lol.

>>4227107
I have implemented the currencies. At the moment they do not have a lot of utility.

>>4227107
>>4227110
Will there be some NPCs that can sell you items, perhaps what used to be dead crewmen of the Vortex Rikers?

>>4227115
Yes, I could add them to the exact points of the map, far from monsters.

>>4227305
is it any difficult coding some AI to the NPCs?

Dug this up from the past

>>4228205

>All of the "Planet x" sites have been dead for many years.
>Even the sites that spunoff from Gamespy like BeyondUnreal and Seriouszone are dead too.

>>4227983
Nah.

Any way I can make my HUD larger?
I want to replay the game but I have really bad eyesight and can't make out the HUD.

>>4229598
F5 to cycle through different sizes

>>4229654
F5 only cycles through HUD styles, not sizes.

>>4229598
Jesus, this is so tiny I can barely see it too.

>>4229598

The 227 patch makes the HUD easier to see on larger monitors.

>>4228598
BeyondUnreal was so awesome, modsquad and Nali city gave so many hours of fun.

>>4229894
Already running 227 (with the updated OpenGL drivers) in that image. Could only find an option to increase the translator size, pic related.

>>4230519
if you're desperate lowering your resolution would work.

>>4230519
>>4230532
>>4230532
Using DGVoodoo wrapper I was able to make the game think I was using a lower resolution while forcing a higher one in DGVoodoo's options to make the HUD bigger. I had to use the D3D8 renderer to make this happen since its the max DGVoodoo supports.

>>4228205
I wish the POTD page wasn't locked.

>>4227107
what are the small squares supposed to be? Resources?

What's the preferable renderer for UT99? I always have trouble with weapons not rendering properly

>>4228598
One of the worst feels. the Gamespy network was my entry into online game interest. Spent so much time on Classicgaming downloading ROMs, PlanetUnreal downloading custom maps and skins, etc, all gone thanks to IGN aka Satan.

>>4234639

>>4234654
He's barely brown

>>4234654
UT99 - totally white. UT2k4 - Tanned, but still white. UT3 - Malcolm went full nigga.

>>4234693

OpenGL
You can also run it in DX10/11 if you really want to

For some reason I can't get Tactical Ops to run on my computer. Tried OGL and numerous DX renderers, and both 3.4 and 3.5 versions, but it just crashes and gives me a StackHash_0a9e error, while UT99, Deus Ex and other UE1 games run fine.

>>4235071
I would use DX10, but for some reason servers with their anti-cheat mod kicks me because it doesn't recognize the files

>>4236227
The real question is, why are they "Thunder Crash" in the campaign, but "Marine" in the player settings?

>>4236971
weren't they a bunch of marines that went to the Tournament to win it big?

>>4236719
You fucking nogs are so desperate to insert yourselves everywhere. Just face the fact the character was made black in sequels to bring in black players away from Madden

>>4238703
It's funny to me that you're calling fucking a white male (me) a nigger now to rationalise your own racial insecurities

>Is named Malcom
>Has a beret

He's clearly black.

Stupid question but is there a way to play the Unreal maps in UT99 and vice versa?

>>4238869
Literally just copy paste them and type "open mapname" on console. Consider installing oldschool or monster hunt on UT99. If any files are missing, just copy them too (.utx files into textures, .umx into music etc). I've never copied maps from UT99 into Unreal, but it should probably work too, might be easier from Unreal into UT99 though.

>>4238889

U1 to UT99 works because the system has support to automatically convert U1 item entities into their UT99 equivalents. U1 doesn't have this feature, so UT99 to U1 doesn't work.

>>4238869
what are you trying to do exactly? theres already a mod like RTNP which imports the unreal single player campaign with beta content to ut99 with improvements

http://www.moddb.com/mods/rtnp-the-ultimate-edition

>>4238914

That mod is fucking awesome. The beta maps add a lot of meat to RTNP's lacking second half and the surprise map early on makes the shitty village and spaceship maps easier to swallow.

The only thing I genuinely don't like are the flamethrower Krall. You're pretty much dead if even the very tip of their fire trails hit you, which is bullshit. Having DM-ArcaneTemple as an SP map felt out of place at first, but they did a good job converting it into a good single player experience.

>>4238760
people are too blind to see that

>>4238914
I just want the multiplayer maps in Unreal to be playable in UT99.
>>4238889
Thanks I'll try it out soon.

>>4240126
You can also find some coop servers in UT99, possibly another way to download the maps.

>>4245282
That doesn't compute, godlike bots are plenty dumb in UT99 but very aimboty

Subsequent UT games improved the already pretty good bots significantly

>>4245282
kek, likewise, I spent summer playing diablo 2 and ut2004, and listening to linkin park

>>4244861

>>4245305

UT2k4's AI is noticeably more stupid than UT99's. Ever tried to play a regular CTF match with bots in UT2k4? You basically have to hold their hand the entire match if you want to win, even in regular botmatch mode. In UT99, they can hold their own and cap as long as you don't exceed the recommended player count for a map (so basically no retarded shit, like 16 bots in CTF-EternalCave).

For fun, try a bot-only match in UT2k4's CTF-Magma with the recommended amount of players and see how far the AI gets on their own, then run a match in UT99's equivalent, CTF-LavaGiant with the recommended amount of players. You'll notice the AI actually manages to get a cap off on their own once or twice and can defend well in LavaGiant, while the AI either gets picked off soon after it gets the flag or runs back to the enemy base completely unopposed in Magma.

>>4245916
if you're really good with the bots, you can probably hold on your own against players if you give the bots some orders

>>4244861
>>4245782

This guy had converted .umx into mp3s many years ago, I think he has beta/early build music too.

>>4246658
Bless you

>>4245916
I'm mainly going by DM metrics, CTF is even less fun with bots. UT's bots were hot shit for the time because of hand placed nav nodoes (holy shit, someone actually traced the possible routes a player might take around the map and made the bots use the navmesh, the future is real) unlike UT's main competitor, Q3A, where bots literally just take the direct path from weapon to armor to a medkit and occasionally engage the player.
Compare that with UT3 or UT4 bots and you can almost see vestigial intelligence in them, bots being able to hide, amubush, crouch walk to reduce siloutte etc, in addition to using movement techniques like lift jumps and wall dodges to get around.

I wish you could talk to the bots in UT99 like in Q3. It was amusing that you could keep up a conversation with them

>>4248718
The Quake 3 bots' AI for responding to chat was insane. I still like how they'll chew you out for using slurs. :v

Does it pop up like it's about to load and then crash right away? I used to have the same problem with Empire Earth 2. There was a fix for it by making some sort of batch file and running that as an exe. It was something like

>taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
>EE2.exe
>start explorer.exe
But this would obviously only work for Empire Earth and not your game.

Maybe looking for something like a .bat fix or something that'll fix your resolution can help your specific game.

>>4256894
Does the website contain archived stuff from Planet Unreal?

>>4256909
Managed to fix it before, was a problem with DEP settings.

Are there any zombie mods for Unreal or UT?

>>4228598

How do people host low ping servers? I heard a local high school keeps people's servers and has fast net but I'm not brave enough to go ask if they can keep mine. And they're probably gonna want paid or do weird stuff.

>>4245305
Nah, UT99 bots have better and more natural movement. UT2004 bots obviously follow rigid paths and they often do shit that doesn't make sense like stopping out in the open and staying completely still to shoot. I've been able to get really good behavior from UT99 bots by playing on Masterful and setting their accuracy to 0-0.5 and other behaviors such as strafing and awareness to 0-1.0. UT2004 bots on the other hand always feel too aimbot-like and always have shit movement. UT2004 bots are better at map control (prioritizing the important powerups and getting them on time) but they're very robotic in shooting and movement.

>>4267132

>>4269729
Yea they are aimbot like.
I remember being on top of that ramp/tower thing and getting shot from their spawn.

>>4269442
Are you running mods to help with lag compensation?

Looks like Skincity is back-up, but the files are still down. So you can at least check out how the skins look like before you install them.

Are Epic actually retarded? They had a strong cult following for UT which they just threw in the trash. Sure, Gears of brownandbloom and UE3 licences were essentially money printers, but if they had just followed the tried and true formula from previous UTs while adding new stuff instead of the mess that was UT3 and now this joke of a pre-alpha they'd still be able to keep one of their bases, no reason to just waste it. People say that arena FPS are dead today because people want to play different types of games, but they forget that Epic and id Software went full retard and basically killed their fanbases, who then simply had nowhere to go and just declined in numbers during the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Why is everything in Unreal so fucking dark?

>>4271810
How do you not know what savescumming is?

>>4271631
Turn on onexblending in your ini file for your renderer if on 227. It's unnaturally dark with multiple blending passes.

>>4267132
Is there more?

>>4271912
i think you have it opposite.

>>4271920

>>4271975
Probably, I was just going from pure memory as I don't have an unreal install in front of me right this second.

Another possibility is brightness (f11 key) got set low but as far as I know some renderers ignore this.

>>4269856
No Im not running any mods and I dont know of any for lag compensation.

>>4272016
You'll want to increase brightness with the F11 key if you have an IPS monitor - Dark areas will be hard to see otherwise. OneXBlending should be false to emulate single texturing, which Unreal was designed for.

>>4269325
They are all robots, nothing organic about them.

Am I making a mistake by playing Unreal on its highest original difficulty for the first playthrough? Every enemy being a boring bullet sponge is really hampering my enjoyment, but I'm not sure if that's just how the game is or if it's a result of the difficulty setting.

>>4274246
>Every enemy being a boring bullet sponge
This is true on all difficulties.
People liked Unreal because of the graphics, atmosphere and multiplayer. Not because of the singleplayer gameplay.

>>4274246
Unreal difficulty (renamed to Very Hard in 227) can be pretty challenging - enemies can withstand a lot before they die. For a first mlaythrough I'd play on either medium or hard, depending on how much experience you have with shooters. The enemies get more interesting to fight later on, as they'll actively dodge attacks and seek backup or feign death when injured.

In the 227 patch, "Unreal" and "Godlike" are intended for co-op gameplay - I advise strongly against playing these singleplayer.

>>4274278

Unreal 1's gameplay is awesome.

I think the Skaarj being able to dodge your shots is what impressed me the most out of the game.

>>4275821
That impressed me and they also rushed me whenever I had the eightball launcher equipped. Enemies would also retreat to where others were stationed when injured.

>>4274246
The only bullet sponges in the game that I remember are the Mercenaries with their fucking shield belts.

>>4274278
The single player is amazing. I have a lot more fun with fewer, tougher enemies than with being thrown hordes of 2-hittable shitties.

>>4277457
do not lewd the robot

Is there any strategy with the Stinger? The weapons feels like it gets out performed by the other weapons.

>>4278853
It's pretty much the worst weapon in the game. Just use it to dispose of trash and save up ammo for your other weapons.

>>4278853
Primary against weaker enemies, secondary is decent against skaarj

>Minigun and Automag both use the same ammo
Why do games do this

>>4280831
Even in real-life most firearms use the same cartridges.

>>4280831

I don't care because there's so much ammo for both guns lying around by the time you get the Minigun in Sunspire you can go crazy with the Minigun and still have plenty leftover for the Automag to pick off Gasbags.

>>4281465
I remember there weren't many rounds for the Minigun/Automag later in the game so I had to resort to using weapons like the Flak Cannon to take enemies down, plus the Minigun ate ammo like crazy.

Unreal has got to be my all time favorite FPS environment and one of my favorite FPS ever.

Are there any other games that capture the same magic as Nepali? The closest I can think of is Metroid Prime 1.

I found a mutator for UT2004 that tweaks the AI and no longer makes them always prioritize players over bots. With this mutator and the Smarter Bots mutator, bot matches in UT2004 become a lot more enjoyable and pretty close to being as fun as in UT99.

I feel like the Unreal games have the potential of making a lot of cool content if Epic made source code free to allow the modders to dick around with the game more. Or at least make a new patch that fixed some stuff and added widescreen support.

>>4322279
both quake and hl are still popular because of the modding scene for them, unreal should've gotten the same treatment

>>4319383

Skyward Fire fucks with me. It's too trippy for me to enjoy it.

>>4322279
But they work with widescreen just fine, you just have to set the resolution and fov with the console or .ini. It is kind of ridiculous that some bugs stayed forever though, like the uncentered crosshair in UT or crounching making it impossible to get headshots.

>>4322279

There's already been a ton of cool stuff made for the Unreal games. You just have to look just a tiny bit.

Unrealscript is surprisingly flexible for something that came out in 1998.

>>4324256
The problem is that it makes you crosshair fuck huge which throws off your aim. I would rather have proper widescreen support than just simple .ini editing

We really should make a list of /vr/-recommended maps and mods for Unreal, UT99, and UT2k4 one day. That'd be nice for those just starting out.

Never played the original Unreal back in the day, only UT99 and 2k3/2k4.

So okay, gotta rectify that mistake, since I'm a huge Q1/2 fan anyway and seems like this game is using similar tech/design philosophy.

So I downloaded the Steam version, installed the new D3D10 renderer. Nice.

Played about 6-8 levels and I dunno, it's just not gripping me. It's nothing but garishly lit corridors and super flat "outside" environments with weird af weapons and health spongey monsters that jump and strafe all over the place (did they seriously just use the bot AI for most enemies? I remember Nehahra for Quake was heavily criticized for wild enemy strafing)..

It does kinda feel like a tech demo showcasing the engine to be honest. There's no single cohesive design direction, everything seems too safe and cookie cutter. Feels like if I play more, it's just going to be more of the same, so I don't really feel like continuing. And the combat has absolutely zero weight to it, you just shoot a couple dozen bullets at the enemy and then they die. They don't even seem to have "pain" stances.

Basically, cool engine, meh gunplay, bah art direction, very convoluted level design with 999x switches to find and dozens of underwater tunnels to slog through.

But what the fuck, sell me on this game if you can. Or I'm gonna play Gunman Chronicles.

>>4335186
The game picks up later on when you reach the second ship that crash landed on Na Pali. The NPCs(Nali) do help you if you save them from enemies; they'll give you items and show you secrets like upgrades to your Dispersion Pistol. Some of the items you pick up like Nali Seeds that help you in a pinch if you really health or the battery pack that amplifies your Dispersion pistol and ASMD rifle's damage. The art direction is very different from most FPS games, a wombo combo of sci-fi and some weird Aztec-ish alien architecture. I bet you didn't even get the Sniper Rifle to pop people's head and watch them tumble around

I got to level 7, Ceremonial Chambers and it's so annoying, like the water temple in Ocarina of Time, except way worse. Flip this here switch, but what did it do? Let's traverse through a series of underwater tunnels fighting tough as fuck enemies with fuck all cover and slowmo underwater controls, maybe we'll find that one door that was opened. And maybe that switch wasn't timed. Have to go all the way back and flip it again, if it was. Also everything looks the same and there's no automap because fuck you.

When does it get fun? Yeah, I get it, the transparent water and colored underwater lighting was a p cool selling point when they marketed their engine back in the 90's, but it doesn't make for a very fun experience.

I guess it's back to Unreal then. Don't know why developers can't make an engine that can be moddable, that's one of the many points of the PC.

It's that modern logic that kills the industry. It used to be

Now it involves developing a game, blowing everything on the marketing, and then including micotransactions and loot boxes to continue profiting off a single game. The psychology behind it is what's upsetting as well.

I've used ucc.exe before and it works well enough for decompressing uz2 files.

So, I'm thinking about buying the Unreal series on GOG, but I've heard that all GOG copies share the same key, and that you need a unique key for multiplayer.
Is that true?

I was kinda hoping I could buy a copy and then hook all of my friends up so we could get some multiplayer going.

>>4353113
UT2k4 is the only game that requires a key, the rest of the games don't

My childhood is complete. I have an .ftp and the fixed map, I figured out what I was doing wrong in ucc, I forgot the space in "Program Files (x86)" anyway I unzipped the mesh and imported it into UnrealEd and saved the map it works now and I fucking lol'd for a good 5 minutes straight.

If anyone should be interested I could host the map for download on my ftp. If I can figure out UnrealEd I may plant more Deemers to make things interesting

yup and since it doesn't write to the registry or windows folders you can move the installation around without it spazzing out when you go to run it again

What's your opinion on the current designs of the characters in UT4? I feel that they are straying away from the original designs in favor of having something new. UT2004 did a really good job evolving the original designs of the characters into something new but still recognizable.

You are spot on with this post my friend.

iD Software and Epic were too retarded to realize what made their games fun in the first place. The two big companies that popularized arena fps games also killed them and lets be honest with the right team and a fuck load of money there could be a popular arena fps game again.

Most devs these days are retarded and don't have a fucking clue about FPS games because they grew up playing shit games not real arena FPS.

Anyone remember warthog race servers from UT2004 - that shit was so fun - I was like 10 years old chatting shit to all the 20 something europeans

>>4358181
LDG still has a racing server, it's great fun

>>4271053
>>4358175
I actually think it's the other way around. Arena shooters started loosing popularity, so Epic and id decided to try something new, but weren't very successful at that. The skill ceiling is so high and there's no "reward" for low skilled players, so the audience can't really be as big as the usual loot box shooters of the modern era. The genre's going to be a niche, no way around it.

>>4223430
they all have personality they are unique and the fact that the ut99 is so easily modable helps a ot

>>4356307
>What's your opinion on the current designs of the characters in UT4?

Generic sci-fi shit. Boring and bland. No style or flair of its own.

But then, Epic have always sucked when it comes to having a cohesive look for unreal. They've never settled on an aesthetic.

Honestly I just think they're terrible devs who just happened to shit couple of good games 15 or so years ago.

>>4358214
I actually like the diverse environments of UT, they gave mappers a lot to work with

I have been trying to find this spongebob map from UT2004. It used to be played a lot on custom fun map only deathmatch servers back in the day.

It was set in what looked like a kids room basically spongebob textures everywhere.

Its no the bikkini bottom map - if anyone has it please upload

DEATH BY SNU SNU

>>4358223
Environments aren't what I was complaining about.

Epic have never been able to stick to any character designs or even weapon models between engines.

The result is that every iteration of Unreal Tournament, with the exception of 2003/2004, which are effectively the same game, is artistically disconnected from both the previous game, and the following one.

Shit, people still play this?

I've been playing a few hours again today. Playing this and Age Of Empires II on LAN with my best mate were some of the best childhood memories a kid can have.

>>4360395

I'm talking about ue4, "imbecile"

>>4360395
Find a bug/exploit like ucc batchexport that ut99 had, of course.

That's how servers distribute anticheat dlls in ut99.

They import the .dll as a "music" in ucc/unrealed which accept anything as a binary blob.

Then you can just export the "music" as whatever file extension you want directly into your system folder using said commandlet exploit.

Yes, the default ut99.exe also has a few commands to directly launch exe in the system folder. Sleep tight, ut99 players.

t. A guy who spent way too much time developing on unreal 1.

>>4363507
What kind of exploits are we talking here? Isnt ucc just something used mainly for compression/decompression? Never messed around with the files before.

>>4363539
ucc is a command suite, you can expand upon it using .u or .dll, if desired.

By default it ships with the compiler (ucc make), compress/decompress for making .u.uz, batchexport which was meant to dump resources like sounds/textures there are more undocumented ones as well but I'm not at home where I can list them.


The exploit is quite literally instantiating an instance of the batchexport class at runtime, calling the main function with the correct parameters and boom you can extract a .dll or .exe to your system folder.

It requires only foreknowledge of the .uxx filename in cache.

It shouldn't be possible to execute a commandlet at runtime, but yet it works. Unreal gold also has batchexport but the game crashes with the same code to attempt the exploit.

Between the arbitrary binary allowed in a .u/.umx and being able to execute commandlets at runtime do you get trouble. I've yet to hear of anyone exploiting the .exe execution though...

>>4363581
Oh yes, ucc also ships with the server commandlet, which in my testing is more stable than unreal.exe -server.

>>4363507
So is that how some servers install ACE onto clients? Now that I think about it, this could potentially be something like remote executing files.

>when you hear a redeemer flying but don't know where it's coming from

>>4364030

>When you finally see it, shoot at it and hear DENIED literally milliseconds before impact

>>4363645
Yep. Once a dll like that is loaded any c++ code could run too. You're completely at the mercy of hoping ACE is not malicious.

Newfag to this general. Played UT to death years ago, even the missions, even though they werent that good. I wanna play Unreal 2, never played but saw my brother play and it always looked fun. What am I in for, being used to UT? Should I start with 1 instead?

>>4380713
Unreal 2 is pretty meh. Unreal 1 is great.

>>4380713
Definitely start with Unreal. Unreal 2 is completely optional as it feels less of an Unreal game and more of its own sci-fi game. It does include entities from the Unreal game like the Skaarj(for only a brief moment) and corporations like Liandri and Izanagi.
