StrangeLove - UT2004 [Beta] new version (5.4) released - Jun 6th, 2004

**legacy-Archer** · 04-04-2004, 04:12 PM

No, make an option on whether it should go to third person or not. I'd rather have it remain in the first person.

**legacy-AlphaOne** · 04-04-2004, 04:46 PM

I've just fixed some major annoying bug that let you kill your teammates even though Friendly Fire was on.

http://yucc.yorku.ca/~plouj/StrangeL...ngeLove3.3.zip
- just extract the archive to UT2004 and start a game with StrangeLove arena mutator enabled.

This vesion is so beta that its not even funny. However, I'd like you to play it because its already playable and fun with human players.

Third/first person works just like it does with other vehicles.

Remember, this uses the assault space fighters as a base, so if you notice any similarties

don't be surprised, this is a very early version.

Have fun

EDITed: spelling

ive almost got the 3rd person view. below is a pic with what ive came out with so far. i will not post it unless i get full permission from alphaone.

**legacy-petey247** · 04-04-2004, 09:03 PM

Dl'ing :up:

**legacy-AlphaOne** · 04-04-2004, 11:11 PM

ATOMIC COW: I'm not sure what you mean. Did you make an option to have a 3rd person view where rotating around the rocket didn't affect its direction? If you don't mind please email me:
thematrixhunter at yahoo dot com. Thanks

EDIT:
I've uploaded some minor fixes:

...sorry for inconveniences!

**legacy-ATOMIC COW** · 04-05-2004, 07:45 AM

no, it only looks like its from the side because im turning. when i said i almost got it, i mean i have to fix some things.

**legacy-CaNNoN** · 04-05-2004, 08:12 AM

Ok

I have updated my site to this latest 3.3b version.

I'm gonna try this out today, since it's received so much feedback (I'm not a big mutator-type player, heh). Looks good though :up:

**legacy-AlphaOne** · 04-05-2004, 08:57 AM

Riboflavin: wow I just noticed your picture! Thats hilarious.
CaNNoN: thanks a lot man.

**jaybud4** · 04-05-2004, 05:02 PM

IF you put the wahooo in, make it user-configured if they want it on and off. The server that I hosted that went down 4 years ago had SL2 24/7, and within 5 mins. of playing, the wahoo got freaking annoying to the 10+ people that were on the server...

**legacy-AlphaOne** · 04-05-2004, 05:22 PM

For sure. I understand that, and I was going to make it an option.

**legacy-Prefablab** · 04-05-2004, 06:13 PM

Just a quicky.........

Are there any gameservers online using it?

**legacy-AlphaOne** · 04-05-2004, 06:31 PM

I doubt it

You could look for some by configuring an appropriate filter in the server browser.

legacy-dumbass · 04-05-2004, 06:41 PM

I'll probably have it on my UT2004 server around 11pm EST after work

http://www.gamebuzz.net (right now its got CL4 car launcher)

ok, good. SWEET MUTE!!!

**legacy-Au2** · 04-05-2004, 08:45 PM

this mod is pants pissing fun LOL :haha:

try it with the super berserk mutator on aswell

those bots are sure trigger happy

still laughing! :haha: :haha:

:up:

**legacy-Archer** · 04-05-2004, 09:44 PM

:haha:

This mut is so much better than the first version for 2k4!

The main part left to do is get rid of the spacefighter thing in 1st person, remove the laser and missiles, add some frivilous things, and we have a winner!

**sHoKaZuLu** · 04-05-2004, 09:59 PM

Very nice. Please make the ammo configurable. 10 is way to much.

**legacy-AlphaOne** · 04-05-2004, 10:46 PM

I'm trying to make the SL missile let you pickup the flag (in a CTF game) without ejecting. Untill then I won't release a new version.

However, I did remove the lazers and the space fighter crap

**legacy-Hv.¡.** · 04-06-2004, 08:46 AM

If you need a webhost, I can be of service.

Just let me know

maybe even a domain

when can we expect physics (a la SLV2) to be integrated?

**legacy-Iceboy2003** · 04-06-2004, 01:36 PM

I haven't tried this... but damn it looks promising. I know Ofus was working on a 2k3 version but dropped it I guess after a hard drive crash (was also working on a final version of UT99 SLV2 at the time too I think)

My thoughts as to what made SLV2 fun:
- Fly and Gun... The ability to shoot at people with your weapons while flying. Basically you hit crouch and it took you out of flying mode so you could look around and shoot at the same time while the rocket flew in the direction you had it in before you engaged gunner mode

- Passengers... Definately made the mod a hell of a riot to play.... They could also fire weapons as well.

I think if you nail those two features with this, you will win a lot of fans! The mute. looks great already!

**legacy-AlphaOne** · 04-06-2004, 02:37 PM

[B]Iceboy2003[B]: I know, I have the SL2 manual, and I'm working towards implementing all those features.

[B]KingTalo[B]: What exactly do you mean? Make the missile 'whipe out' on tight turns?

Hv.¡.(and anyone else who offered hosting):
I'm looking for a somewhat permanent place to host my SL files, _maybe_ other small projects and just keep a personal page. Basically I'd like to keep things in ONE place instead of trying to update 100 different sites. Heh, I barely remember to post news even in this thread! So if I can find something that will help me out in that regard I'll be glad to use it.

I'm thinking of something like BeyondUnreal or PlanetUnreal (more BU) for now.

Let me know what exactly you guys can offer me. (btw I like free stuff!)

Last thing: I'm not good with HTML.

I can offer you 50mb webspace at http://www.unreal-projects.com and after you have your site setup there then you go apply for hosting at PlanetUnreal......

**legacy-Hv.¡.** · 04-06-2004, 03:33 PM

alphaone ... It will be for what ever you need.. 1 gig of space for my Total account. This means we would have to share it but I won't use that much. You can have a subdomain for free no crap nothing... it would be like www.strangelove.teaminfamy.net or w/e you want. I can offer you multiple sub domains as well

mysql database, 15 gigs transfer a month.

FTP access.. e-mails..

I have the hosting, just have no real need for it.. just its a good price and very fast

.

Just drop me a line at highvoltage@teaminfamy.net

We can sort out the details if you would like

**legacy-AlphaOne** · 04-06-2004, 08:14 PM

Thanks Hv.i.

First file on his/my site:

http://www.alphaone.teaminfamy.net/S...ngeLove3.4.zip

Now you can pickup the flag without ejecting off of the SL missile

**legacy-Archer** · 04-06-2004, 09:30 PM

I thought you could grab the flag while on the StrangeLove before... ah well.

*downloads new version and plays*

Yeah, and at higher speeds (especially going turbo

) allow it to 'whipe out' more.

**legacy-Hv.¡.** · 04-07-2004, 06:54 PM

he means, make the quick turns take longer to adjust to where your going, so you cant go Super fast and not hit walls like you shouldn't be able to go in circles in the face classic base at top speed

**legacy-AlphaOne** · 04-07-2004, 07:51 PM

I just got some more screenshots...and I need to show off my new site:

**legacy-petey247** · 04-07-2004, 09:18 PM

I just got finished playing it and man was that a lot of fun. Couple of questions/observations:

* Will you be able to replace only the standard redeemer or will it only be Arena-style?
* I noticed a few times if I was carrying the flag, when I jumped off I would drop the flag.
* In the UT99 version, if you were riding and you hit an enemy, they would be gibbed, but you would continue and not blow up. Will you be implementing this?

I could probably find more things and I know this is alpha right now, but these are what immediately stood out.

Like I said, it was a lot of fun and keep it up. :up:

**legacy-AlphaOne** · 04-07-2004, 10:28 PM

petey247:
* yes eventually I'll add a second mutator which will only replace the redeemer pickup.
* I've started to nice that bug as well - only online though. Were you playing instant action when you noticed it?
* Yes I'm trying to keep as close to the UT99 version as possible, so I will get to fixing all those collision things soon.

- Thanks for the questions/observations

Heh, I spent a whole day setting up the site, so not much SL coding done.

Yeah, it was on instant action. CTF-FaceClassic

**legacy-AlphaOne** · 04-07-2004, 11:04 PM

Cool, thats very good to know

thanks

lol, I meant to say "I've started to notice..."

**legacy-SmokeRingHalo** · 04-08-2004, 03:48 AM

The original also had the ability to arm and disarm the warhead in flight via mousewheel which was kindof important in strangelove ctf games.

**legacy-Archer** · 04-09-2004, 05:05 PM

True, but that should also be configurable. I'd be happier if you couldn't disarm it. Much more fun that way.

**legacy-AlphaOne** · 04-12-2004, 08:18 PM

No functionalyty update.

Just made a new package which has the version number in the name. That kind of fixes the version mismatch problems.
