Galtanor's Invasion [Beta][Pics][Updated 10/26/2008][v022][Patch 1.3]

Try importing monsters from gears of war. It may be a hassle but would be well worth it. Some of those creatures are SO raw.

**Chief-Justice** · 12-07-2007, 02:16 PM

looks like Gears of War

glad i didnt buy that crap

**vortexbubbles** · 12-08-2007, 06:47 PM

very nice !!! keep up the good work this is something that should have been included into the game in the 1st place !!!

Can you get back some of the old invasion monsters please... i loved the flying rocket demon :P

**Mutilate66** · 12-08-2007, 07:11 PM

as long as they dont look out of place like they used to any model is fine with me.

**rustyofco** · 12-08-2007, 10:22 PM

Now I want the old RPG mutator from 2k4. Maybe even the artifacts stuff and powerups and all those goodies too....

**harrier_rada** · 12-08-2007, 11:35 PM

Please no RPG, thats what killed Inv for me. Not a problem for a bit, but when 99% of the inv servers ran RPG it sucked hard.

**theteck** · 12-09-2007, 12:16 AM

all want invasion like i make in ut2004 ...

full differents monster ... somes boses .. hard and many action ...

full weapons range and the must important dont forget the fun

that all

**William Gee** · 12-09-2007, 02:09 AM

Cool mod thanks!

**TheIronKnuckle** · 12-09-2007, 02:48 AM

Looks promising, as long as you don't go crazy with the sh1th0u5s3 monsters like in fraghouse, i will dload this. If you port over the skaarj i will dload regardless. Having "Necris Invasion" would be cool too, where the enemies are only necris and krall.

**vossy** · 12-09-2007, 05:46 AM

absoloutly perfect.
keep the updates coming, new monsters more levels, more features and some servers!

**Taboen** · 12-09-2007, 06:48 AM

That I am not sure yet. I think I need to build a custom search set, probably subclassing the UTGameSearchCommon class... I will try to look into it this weekend.

Okey thanks. I can find a file called UTGameSearchTDM you probably have to subclass that or subclass UTGameSearchCommon which is the parent of UTGameSearchTDM. Just need to find a way to let the gametype use this Gamesearch aswell. If you find anything, let me know

**Mr.UglyPants** · 12-09-2007, 04:32 PM

Since of course the invasion gamemode will only show DM maps installed, why not make a Invasion mutator along with it so you can have Invasion on any map (like Suspense), all it'd do would taking away the teams and making it you and your team vs hordes of monsters!

**ubersoldier87** · 12-09-2007, 06:10 PM

I can't seem to get it to work...I extracted the zip to: (my name): Documents:My Games: UT3

but the mode isn't showing up on the server list (or if I try and host it). Any suggestions?

**Mr.UglyPants** · 12-09-2007, 07:46 PM

It needs to go more into that

Namely the CookedPC folder, then Published then i haven't a clue.

Hmm...I tried (my name) : Documents : My Games : UT3 : UTGame : Published : Cooked PC

EDIT: there, I think i got it now. That seems to be the correct directory if other people can't work it.

**Galtanor** · 12-09-2007, 09:38 PM

Unfortunately, my grandmother passed away Friday evening and I have not been able to work on this as much as I wanted to this weekend.

I was able to setup a server and found out a few things...

In order for map voting to work, you will need to add these lines into one of the INI files in your config directory... I have added it into the UTGaltanorsInvasion.ini and will include it in the next update.

Code:

[UTGame.UTGame]
GameSpecificMapCycles=(GameClassName="GaltanorsInvasion",Maps=("DM-Arsenal","DM-Biohazard","DM-Sanctuary","DM-Deck","DM-Defiance","DM-Deimos","DM-Diesel","DM-Gateway","DM-HeatRay","DM-Fearless","DM-RisingSun","DM-Sentinel","DM-ShangriLa","DM-Carbonfire"))

Regarding the server browser not finding only of this type: It seems to be a general problem with the server browser. Mysterial's Slaughterhouse gametype suffers from this as well. Epic is probably already aware of the problem and hopefully will fix it in the upcoming patch.

Regarding where the files go...

The UTGaltanorsInvasion.ini, UTGaltanorsInvasionMonsters.ini, UTGaltanorsInvasionWaves.ini files all go in here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config

The GaltanorsInvasion.int goes in here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Published\CookedPC\Localization\INT

The GaltanorsInvasion.u goes in here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Published\CookedPC\Script

Replace <user name> with the name you log into the computer with.

**Mr.UglyPants** · 12-10-2007, 07:14 AM

Sorry to hear that Galthanor. Don't worry about it, we're a community who ha learned to wait so one weekends delay is nothing to us.

**MrCobra** · 12-10-2007, 08:19 AM

It will be cool when this is finished. You should do a BR mod next.

**SafeFire** · 12-10-2007, 09:01 AM

Very nice work, good to see Invasion back

I certainly hope it would be possible to hijack some monsters of Gears of War and use those, given that it's legal. They would be quite suitable, many different sizes, from the kryll as the little flying buggers, to the Brumak as titans or whatever, very varied.

**Codeslave** · 12-11-2007, 04:56 PM

Has anyone tried this with the new patch. My dedicated server keeps resettiing the game. BTW ill test patches if you like. Sudreal are a bunch of invasion junkies

**Italianstallion** · 12-11-2007, 06:16 PM

I have just gotten this game for my ps3, and am looking foward to playing my favorite game mode invasion that i used to play with UT2004 all the time. I was wondering if you could you could setup the file in the unreal editer to work for the ps3, once the new toolset is ready.

Thanks in advance

**unrealfan** · 12-11-2007, 06:21 PM

Hey, It's nice you re-did Invasion, but I kinda don't like the monsters. I would like it more if you had the Unreal monsters.(Krall, Skarrj, Mercenaries, Brutes, Queen, Titan,etc.)

**Sinnthetika** · 12-11-2007, 09:10 PM

Yeah the classic monsters remodeled and a little re imagined for this would be excellent. Even some surprises from U2 wouldn't be so bad. Regardless, it's really great to see someone is taking the time to bring this game type back and into UT3.

**ElementOfInertia** · 12-11-2007, 09:19 PM

Yea big thanks man. I hope there will be a chance for this to come over to ps3!

**harrier_rada** · 12-11-2007, 09:56 PM

I have also noticed some issues with the lizards not attacking. Even if you shoot them they ignore you. I have also seen them get stuck in a repetative loop, mostly involving jump pads. They get on a jump pad, and as soon as they land they run right back to it. I have only noticed either of these with the lizards, and not with the skeletons. Kinda weird.

Also, with the addition of server history/favorites in patch 1.1, the Sudreal server with this mod does not show up in game history. Not sure if this is an issue with the mod or the server, so if anyone else is noticing this issue please speak up.

Anywho, keep up the good work

EDIT: Just found out why it doesn't show up in game history. If you join a server by using the open command it will not be added to your history. Also, it stores server favorites by a unique server id, and not ip :/

I know, I enjoy that he brought back Invasion, but I just wish there were more classic monsters.

P.S: Galatanor, if you are reading this post, here is my list of monsters I'd like for this.(Don't remodel them if you don't want to, but here they are.)

Note: These are all from the original Unreal.

1.Pupae
2.Skarrj
3.Krall(The ones with the staff, and keep attacking when you blow their legs off.)
4.Krall Elite(Same, but blue, and do more damge, take less damage.)
5.Brute
6.Behemoth(Stronger Brute with Armor.)
7.Warlord
8.Gasbag
9.Mercenaries
10.Elite Mercenaries
11.Slith
12.Skarrj Sniper
13.Manta
14.Queen
15.Titan
16 .Stone Titan

**Galtanor** · 12-11-2007, 10:47 PM

I will have a new update built with patch1 tomorrow, along with some new features and updates. (I would do it tonight but my head is hitting the desk already and there is still some final testing to do...)

I will have to look into it, definitely sounds like good material.

**aston12** · 12-12-2007, 03:13 PM

So? any servers as when i browse invasion it shows dm servers...and none of em has invasion in its name...

**Mr.UglyPants** · 12-12-2007, 03:28 PM

Wait til his new release for that stuff to get fixed.

**Galtanor** · 12-12-2007, 10:07 PM

Version 002 Notes:
Updates:
. Built with patch1
. Enabled CTF and VCTF (the AI is still a work in progress, but seems to be ok atm)
. Cleaned up the HUD
. Added a minimap/radarmap for the HUD
. Force all players/bots to spawn near the red flag
. Force all monsters to spawn near the blue flag
. Map voting enabled
. All vehicles unlocked... (need to kill the 'hijacked'/'carjacked' message tho)
. Hopefully fixed the server browser
Known Bugs:
. Respawning after losing all lives and then getting a new one on completion of a wave puts your camera in behindview mode. Oddly, fainting resets it.

I have updated the links on the first page to point to the new downloads.

I also would really like to add the original monsters, but the original models would not meet UT3 graphic standards. Unfortunately, I am not a good modeler by any standards, so we will have to wait for someone else to remake them.

As far as using the GoW models, I am open to the idea. I looked, but did not see anywhere that Epic made an official statement that we could use content from GoW. If anyone remembers seeing that could you please point me to it? Thanks.

P.S. I have added several more screen shots to the album on Picasa.

**bushbomb** · 12-12-2007, 11:01 PM

I'm trying the version 002 on my server.

What do I need to do in order to see the minimap/radarmap?

When I start the game, even if someone joins at the same time, they are a spectator and can't seem to play. How can I have multiple people play?

Do you have to set the GameMode= command line parameter to a certain value for it to work?

The hammer krall have lizard color heads, but their bodies are pink skin, not how they are in the screenshots. How can I have them look like they do in the screenshots?

**Mr.UglyPants** · 12-12-2007, 11:19 PM

Is there a kill count?

**unrealfan** · 12-12-2007, 11:59 PM

"I also would really like to add the original monsters, but the original models would not meet UT3 graphic standards. Unfortunately, I am not a good modeler by any standards, so we will have to wait for someone else to remake them."

Can you just port them for the people that cant wait?

Someone can remodel them if they want to, I just wanna know if you can port the monsters, becuase most INV fans won't care if they are fugly,I know I won't.

If you do port them like I said in this post,look for my post on page 7 of this thread of the ones i'd want to be ported.

Honestly, somebody needs to do a Poll or something. It is a GREAT gametype, but I don't like the fact that all the Monsters are using normal weapons, it's the same as playing Death Match/Team Death Match. I would like to see some more traditional monsters; Even though they are not top-quality.

Which is why I just want him to port the monsters I listed from Unreal, and put an option in the gametype that lets you use updated graphics for the monsters, if he ever remodels them, or someone else remodels them.

I think he has a lot of good code to use, but it may need to be re-done from the beginning and copy in a lot of parts that are useful. I'm surprised no one else has started making an invasion mod yet...at least no one has posted so.

The monsters need to have their own class, similar to how they did in UT2004. If no one gets to it, I may sit down to at least coding part of the old invasion up from scratch, but I'm waiting for something like WOTgreal to step out of the Dev version for UT3 before I jump in too much. I could re-do UT2004 invasion easily in the old environment....still unfamiliar with all the restructuring of classes.

Why start a different effort. Ill offer any help I can, starting a nice invasion group to bring back the best gametype IMHO would be great. Ill donate a group server, and webspace, svn space etc etc..

I see no reason to start a different effort, but it may need a big restructure to use a monster class instead of the way it is now. None of the effort made so far is wasted, it can all be used, even if restructuring.

And I 2nd that invasion is one of the best gametypes from ut2004....we really need it back.
