UT3 Style Mutators for UT2004 [b3 - Weapon models!]

**wildman** · 02-25-2009, 02:01 PM

I just tried this out nice work so far guys...

**GreatEmerald** · 02-25-2009, 02:50 PM

Well, check out the "Ports from UT3?" thread on the Ideas forum, I'm posting the progress updates there. I have only Cicada and Leviathan left to finalise, and Wormbo has only the SPMA. That will be Beta 2 (mostly only vehicle updates), and I think for Beta 3 we'll concentrate more on the visuals.

**wildman** · 02-27-2009, 02:02 PM

I got this on my rented server online the only one that doesn't work is the link gun. All the other guns work fine. Love the sounds they make.. like i said nice work so far.

**GreatEmerald** · 02-27-2009, 02:51 PM

Yay, online compatibility test! What in particular doesn't work? And does your log have any references to that?

**Tawn** · 02-27-2009, 03:20 PM

Running this with RPG- it removes the UT3 Link Gun because UT2004RPG requires the RPG Link Gun, so I think that is why. Also UT3 Stinger Gun doesn't work too well with RPG, but it's not only your weapon that is affected- all fast firing weapons have also been affected(I remember the Fusion-Gatling Gun not working properly, from some weapon pack I forget).

Yes i'm running RPG you might be right about the link, the stinger still kicks but even though the firing is a bit slow. Healing and all that other stuff works so i think i'm going to keep it on the server. I like it.. Any chance of putting the weapon skins on in the future GreatEmerald???? Keep up the good work..

**GreatEmerald** · 02-28-2009, 02:52 AM

Yeah, I'm planning to add the Static Meshes in Beta 3 and animations might follow in Beta 4, although it might be quite difficult to extract them.

**KillerSkaarj** · 02-28-2009, 04:35 AM

I have the full game, and if someone could tell me how to do it, I'd extract and send the Static Meshes to you immediately.

**Wormbo** · 02-28-2009, 04:39 AM

I have the full game as well. I don't worry about the static meshes, those are usually easy to work with. The problems I see are with the skeletal meshes, which are likely going to give us headaches.

**GreatEmerald** · 02-28-2009, 05:44 AM

Use a program called 3D Ripper DX:
http://www.deep-shadows.com/hax/3DRipperDX.htm
You'll get .3DS files, which can then be exported as .ASE and then imported to UEd 3. Not sure about animations though, they seem to be quite difficult to export, but maybe it can do that too.

**Wormbo** · 02-28-2009, 05:46 AM

No, don't. Use UModel, that'll be able to export meshes and animations.

**KillerSkaarj** · 02-28-2009, 08:22 PM

Crap, UModel doesn't work on this computer for some odd reason... either it opens and then closes a split second later, or it opens and then freezes. I'm using Windows XP.

Stupid DOS programs...

EDIT: I just did a quick search and found out that Windows XP can't run DOS programs.

Stupid Windows XP. And I really wanted to help too...

**GreatEmerald** · 03-01-2009, 04:48 AM

Cool! Thanks Wormbo.
KillerSkaarj, use DOSBox to emulate DOS.

By the way, wildman, what's your server IP? I might check it out.

**|Grayfox|** · 03-01-2009, 04:55 AM

its nice

i would like to see some models

XP can run DOS programs just fine. In fact, UModel is no DOS program, it's a console program that only opens a window to display meshes or textures. You should run it from Start->Run... either directly or through cmd.exe. It won't run via DOSBox btw, as it's a 32bit Windows application.

Sure here it is. 66.55.149.43:7777 This is my website you join on there as well.

**KillerSkaarj** · 03-02-2009, 11:59 AM

UModel constantly continues to freeze. I don't think it wants to work for me. You guys are on your own, I guess...

**wildman** · 03-04-2009, 12:43 PM

GreatEmerald did you check your mod out on my server??? Just wondering..

**GreatEmerald** · 03-04-2009, 04:13 PM

No, because I realised I can't because of version mismatches

As I have a newer version, I can't join older ones. But I will if you will upgrade to Beta 2 after its release.

**GreatEmerald** · 03-23-2009, 12:02 PM

And here it is! The Beta 2 of this mod! The main target for this beta were the vehicles. This version has all of Axon ones converted for use in UT2004, with a few more minor changes.

Changelog:

+ b2.0 Added the vehicles: Hellbender, Manta, Goliath, Scorpion, Paladin, Hellfire SPMA.
! b2.0 The Raptor is now just like the one in UT3.
! b2.0 Leviathan now has correct sounds.
! b2.0 You can no longer make Impact Hammer jumps after jumping, but the height of a jump was increased by 20%.
! b2.0 Link Gun alt fire transfers less momentum.

Download links are in the first post.
Enjoy the vehicles

**wildman** · 03-23-2009, 03:15 PM

Thx i got this version in my server but the link gun still don't work..

**GreatEmerald** · 03-23-2009, 03:50 PM

Well, that's not my issue, it's the RPG's issue.

**Dark Kontroll** · 03-23-2009, 07:53 PM

great!! downloading...

**KillerSkaarj** · 03-23-2009, 09:23 PM

Awesome! Too bad my UT2K4 is malfunctioning... I only got to play for several minutes...

The problem is, I'm lagging in game even with some settings turned down, and eventually these killer polygons keep stretching off of nearby terrain and static meshes and lashing out at me. My video card used to never do this and now it's suddenly causing the game to be unplayable. I scanned the registry and it's still doing that. My video card is nowhere near overheating.... I dunno what the problem is. I didn't even get to test out the new SPMA...

**Tawn** · 03-23-2009, 10:19 PM

Great work, loved the SPMA and it's effects.

**Wormbo** · 03-24-2009, 03:46 AM

Thanks.

Unfortunately I didn't get around to telling bots how to use it properly.

**wildman** · 03-24-2009, 04:04 PM

No worries i still like what you have done with it so far..

Nice work

**9ades** · 03-29-2009, 03:41 AM

That's alright, at least I won't keep getting hit by bombs from the sky all the damn time, lolz.

**Tawn** · 03-29-2009, 04:28 PM

Is the scorpion self destruct really supposed to kill the driver too? I thought it was just a eject and watch it crash type of thing, because whenever I eject myself from the scorpion but am too close to it's explosion, I get killed.

**Wormbo** · 03-30-2009, 04:06 AM

I haven't tried this one yet, but in UT3 I have never managed to kill myself that way.

**GreatEmerald** · 03-30-2009, 08:26 AM

No, you get ejected and you *should* be alive. No idea why sometimes that fails...

**9ades** · 04-05-2009, 03:32 AM

Two small bugs. You can "combo" yourself in the SPMA. On the sniper, the zoom sound overrides the firing sound (ie, fire a shot and zoom out to see what I mean).

And enforcer/sniper bullets can gib people (simple adjustment to the damagetype can fix that).

Otherwise ..... COOL mod!

Nice job on the SPMA. I liked how the skymines on the Hellbender were made faster, actually makes the skymines less spammable.

And enforcer is always cool.

**TurdDrive** · 05-24-2009, 06:27 PM

how is this coming along?

**GreatEmerald** · 05-25-2009, 10:06 AM

Halted at the moment. I'm working on the Unreal II weapons mod now, but only a few days until the release, then I'll look at this mod again.

**Designer0101** · 06-03-2009, 05:32 PM

Oh great. Finally i will be able to play my favourite game and UT3 weapons through UT2004

**TurdDrive** · 06-12-2009, 06:53 AM

will there eventually be necris vehicles

**GreatEmerald** · 06-12-2009, 07:36 AM

I'm quite sure there won't, because we don't have visuals (and those necris walker legs look hard to make).

**TurdDrive** · 06-12-2009, 08:37 AM

you could take this.

**GreatEmerald** · 06-12-2009, 09:59 AM

Yes, I'm aware of it, but as I've said, visuals are not even close. And so far I haven't found any way to export any visuals from UT3 at all... 3D Ripper doesn't work at all.

**Blade Trooper** · 07-10-2009, 01:13 PM

It is good and all for a mutator, but here is the things you need to fix:

All those Bugs, Change Weapons as they are from UT3, and Have the Zoom Instagib done.

Thats all Im sayin
