StrangeLove 5.5

[legacy-AlphaOne]

Name: StrangeLove
Version: 5.5
Compatibility: UT2004, v3204 or higher

Description: StrangeLove is an Unreal Tournament 2004 modification. It is based on an old but good UT99 modification named StrangeLove as well! The basic idea is that when you alt-fire your redeemer missile launcher you start flying ON the missile, which adds a whole new twist to the game.

Comments: For the original UT99 version of the mod by YRNS go to http://0fus.beyondunreal.com/

ya, but whats the 2k4 version like?

[NotoriousBIC]

Great work. This is definitely one of the most fun mutators out now. :up:
Can you pickup passengers?

[legacy-AlphaOne]

Hehe, sorry for the lack of info. I was hoping the website was enough.


To pickup passengers have them jump on the rocket just like any other vehicle :P

[Radiosity]

Might want to change your post icon ;)

[legacy-AlphaOne]

Oh my gosh FineWolf, thanks a lot. I'm just a little confused at the moment:)
I've played SL with someone and got too excited!

[legacy-FineWolf]

No problem Alpha

From the screenies, it looks like this one does.

[legacy-sWs Vito]

Anyone got this working for UTvot42 and want to share there ini info?

[legacy-Archer]

Well, being a Beta Tester for this mutator, I can tell you right now that it pretty much has everything that the UT version had. Except for the Stinger.

But the rocket handles really well, and all of the core features from the UT version (afterburner, thrust, fuel, etc.) have made a comeback.

Believe me, this is one heck of a fun mutator! Thanks for all the work on it, AlphaOne. Foir a change, I got to test a fun mutator. :p

[NotoriousBIC]

Does it have Total Commitment mode? :D

[legacy-AlphaOne]

How the heck do I change the icon? The menu only gives me emoticons. o_O

[NotoriousBIC]

Change the forum style set (usercp -> edit options -> scroll down) to 'use forum default' NOT '(Default)'.

What are the changes in this new release (5.5)?

[legacy-DimensionSeven]

Wasn't this Clifyy-ownage awarded back in ut99?

DLing... I've been DLing stuff ALL day... OMG!

[legacy-CaTdAeMoN]

hmm, you said that you get people to USE it... so wouldnt you explode on them? :eek:

im looking forward to this! (clicks download) :up: :cool:

[legacy-AlphaOne]

NotoriousBIC: Thanks.
catdaemon: wuh?

aha, sorry. thought you had to press "use" lol ;)

[legacy-FAGHAG]

This is great, but the real question is, where is Rocket-X 2004?

[legacy-AlphaOne]

It took YRNS two years to finish StrangeLove version 2.
I've worked on my version of StrangeLove for 3 months.
RocketX was made _after_ StrangeLove 2 came out.

[legacy-CaTdAeMoN]

sorry, but after testing this is is NOTHING to sl2 :o

the handling is too sharp and it uses the VEHICLE CODE!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

please dont use the vehicle code because it ruins it. do it the old fashoned way plz.


BUG: the rockets dont explode unless shot

BUG: the bots cant use it

WRONG: the fire mode is a turret :bulb:



sorry to sound like grandma but im not gona play it :down:

[legacy-petey247]

Sweet! :up: Been waiting for this. GJ

You have to arm the rockets before they explode

Bot support was poor even with SL2

I agree with the last. It would be great to change to hand weapons and shoot, while still being able to steer the rocket with the direction keys.

[legacy-CaTdAeMoN]

ah, but the rocket just sits there colliding with the wall. (WITH the scratching sound)


in sl2 it had OK support. and in slt when it was disarmed it made a SMALL explosion :cool:

[legacy-trb6]

First off, thanks for trying to recreate a great ut99 mod. Havent had a chance to load the mod up and try it yet...but one of the great things about it was a. the sound effects from the movie and b. the ability to swoop down and pick up other players.

The YRNS mod for 99' was very well done and i'm looking forward to checking out the 2k4 version. I'll be back with my comments...

[legacy-Archer]

I think Alpha is working on it still to add in additional features, and fix up other parts of it. Don't quote me on that, though. I'll see if I can get any official word from Alpha himself.

[legacy-NeoPhoenix]

Can you please... PLEASE... fix the regular fire mode on the srange love, when i just shoot a deemer at someone all it does is scrape the ground, bounce and fly off somewhere. Also can you change the spawn time and ammo amout for the UT oldschool replacer to that of a normal redeemer. In the arena the ammo and spawn time is fine, but when playing it with other weapons it makes it to unbalanced.

[legacy-AlphaOne]

Yeah, I'm actually working on fixing most of the problems you mentioned. Heck, the reason I put this mod in this "final" section because of lack of clear destinction between the beta section and this.

Anyways, two things:
- Post all comments/problems/suggestions on my forum (check sig.)
- I am working on setting up a beyondunreal site, so you'll be able to use that to keep track of the mod easier.

500N!

[legacy-LOVE-FEST]

Oh the good times!!!

CTF-Zeitkind wouldn't be complete without StrangLove.

Thanks!

[legacy-SuperModTester]

It took YRNS two years to finish StrangeLove version 2. I've worked on my version of StrangeLove for 3 months RocketX was made _after_ StrangeLove 2 came out

There are reasons it took years to finish the starngelove for ut99

First of all you cant base the strangelove off of vehicle code thats retarded. It doesnt even come close to what a strangelove should be

Second Why would you steal someone elses mod name. Cant people make their own names up and not take other peoples. I've seen like 5 different 2004 strangeloves by different people and they all stink. Ruining the strangelove name is horrible. Not to mention I believe Ofus has the Strangelove name copyrighted.

Rocket-X would be great for 2004 although I don't think the makers of it would ever try modifying vehicle code to get it to work.

Strangelove and rocketX both made a giant impact on the way unreal tournament was played.

Although I think the RocketX was made all of of the strangelove code. AL Mcraith is the only one Ive ever seen capable of writing the code for something like a strangelove he definiely knows what hes doing.

For mods in 2004 to become really remarkable has to come from their own coding not basing stuff all off of vehicle code which is mostly what Im seeing done except for a few people who are making reallly remarkable stuff

I know you've probably spent hours on this strangelove but I think the way you went about it is all wrong. Its something similiar to strangelove but It falls way to short in a lot of areas.

Total Commitment mode is the greatest And I'll just wait for al to finially finish his 2003 version which Im sure by the time he does that he will have just made it for 2004 since 2003 is dead


:) :) ;) ;)

[NotoriousBIC]

Wow, accusing of stealing? You might wanna read up on his website.

And has it ever occurred to you that the Strangelove code basically was the first Vehicle code?
No? Then just hope it can be improved upon :up:

THAT i agree whole-heartedly with. thats the reason its so good for UT1. the vehicle code is not a good option, that is my opinion.

i have reviewed this mutator and the review will come out on the first of next month. IF you can make it better than ill consider upping your score.

to get free mutator reviews in a monthly mass-email newsletter then sub to www.catdaemonnetwork.cjb.net and find out what the community has to say! :heart:

[NotoriousBIC]

I agree that the handling of the rockets can be improved upon, but saying that it can't be based on vehicle code is complete bollocks.
The original SL rocket code IS in effect a vehicle code. What you guys basically are saying is that AlphaOne should reinvent the wheel.
It just needs some tweaking imho.

[legacy-Archer]

Tweaking is already in progress. Don't you worry about that. And Ithink it's perfectly acceptable to base the Strangelove off of the vehicle code. Because, effectively, it IS a vehicle. Why recreate vehicle coding when it's already present? That would be retarded, IMO.

Besides, I tried this mutator at a LAN party with my friends (and we all played SL for UT, as well), and all of them found it be just as fun as the original SL. So that has to count for something.

[legacy-breadtruck]

good work so far. I miss the WAAAAAHOOOO! though. :p

[Lakie]

GJ.

Played with my Clan.

OMG that was so much fun.

The important stuff.

How do I get it to work with UT2vote, for my server.

PLEASE HELP. :cry:
