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

[[GU]Elmur_fud]

I switched the GU VCTF server to INV with BattleRPG. I got Runestorm's Thor Lightning Gun as well as their Pitbull Shotgun loaded on there. I need to put some custom maps on there still. Something more suited to INV. Just an FYI that there is 1 more INV server out there.

Nice to play it with the runestorm weapons, unfortunately my ping is bad on that server.

I wonder why almost all inv servers use battle rpg? I personally like it more without rpg. When there is no leveling up winning the invasion can always be a challenge!

Thanks for adding the damage and fire rate modifiers Galtanor.
After a long break it was about time to fire up UT3 again and make good use of the new monsters and config features.

I'm gonna test these beauties out and report any bugs I might encounter.

Now I only need a projectile speed modifier and my boss-fire golem will be complete. . . *rubs hands*

Well for one thing if your playing on a single core proc unless your server is set to uber whimpy you wont get past wave 2.

1 rocket from 1 rocket scientist hits you and your dead and with the ammount of lag you get from such a low end system you get hit real easy. Basicly the game type is unplayable for all the low end peeps out their unless the server is boaringly easy or has rpg.

Just a minor note: You don't have to use your stats and if you don't it is as if it's not there. So if you don't like the rpg just don't spend your points and you don't get those added bonuses.

Personally I love RPG... I like RPG games.

I don't know why your ping would be bad other then perhaps the distance. I get around 46 and the server is in LA were-as I am in TX.

Well you can have fps problems also on any other gametype, i have also a very bad pc not single core though and i also get some bad fps sometimes but i can still play cyzs difficult wave setups. His server was without rpg but with sentinels, it was a lot of fun and always a challenge. Unfornutely the server is down now because of the linux patch that wont get released. What i see more as a problem is that the players really need some skill to survive at a server such as cyzs and when you lose all your lives it gets very frustrateing to be forced to watch til the end of waves.

Just a minor note: You don't have to use your stats and if you don't it is as if it's not there. So if you don't like the rpg just don't spend your points and you don't get those added bonuses.

ok i take that seriously, All other players shot 30 rockets a second and run through the maps with crazy speed while the health regenerates and i would try to get some points and survive!
Of course rpg is a cool gametype and i like to play it sometimes but im just missing the challenge.

yea my ping will be bad because im from germany

I'm unable to get the FireRateModify to work. I tried it on biogolem and firegolem so far, tried all kind of values with both override and multiply; nothing changes. :-/

And the firegolem has a very low rate of fire all of a sudden, I think he fires with the same rate as the other golems now. (this happens with or without the firerate modify)

From my expieraments it seems to have everything to do with multi core vs single and appears to be a bug, 1 that I have reported.

Basicly I built a map to test this. and wont bother you with all the details but the evidence suggests that some one with a multicore proc does more damage and/or takes less then some1 with a single, be it a 64 bit or 32 bit.

I actually get good fairly good fps with my 4 gigs of ram and 7950 512mb OTC. I just get killed REAL easy.

... side note: mad props to my ancestral homeland. (yeah I new you were in germany, I think I first noticed when I commented about the 'disturbing' thong on your rabbits).

[Davision]

Wow, that is really a strange bug!

Any monsters using "fire" seem to have a slow rate now. On the other hand, I think the Plasma skulls (since v021) have become a bit too powerful.

[Bjossi]

You could just lower their damage. But unfortunately fire rate modify doesn't work at all (at least for me), I tried it with mech spiders, golems, etc. and no sign of a fire rate change.

[Slaughter]

I'm not sure whether it's the damage rate for Plasma skulls that is the problem or not. They seem to lock on to you and stay locked like never before. Much more than, say, the Laser Mice and mech spiders and such with their beams.

[Bjossi]

Yeah, too many of them and you will lose health ridiculously fast.
