Odd... I have never seen anything like that in testing, the only thing I can think of is that the GaltanorsInvasionContent file is corrupt. Can you try downloading it from the other location and see if you get the same errors?

Thanks

Crash fixed for me, and suggestions

I had the same "count down to crash" problem as a few other members were reporting. Installing the patch for UT3 fixed the problem. I got the mod packaged with the RPG one.

I have a few suggestions.
First, having the monsters use regular guns kinda defeats the point. It just deathmatch with lots of slow opponents. The fun of invasion (with RPG!) in UT2004 was that each monster was a unique opponent with its own temperament and weapon(s). Only the higher waves had flack/rocket wielding critters. I understand that this is still a beta and few monsters are made for it yet but I hope it will not continue on without some of the "classes" of monsters like the old one had.

Secondly, if there is a way to stop "Multi-kill" and "Vehicular manslaughter" announcements it would be nice. Hearing that `every` kill is a little annoying.

But all in all I say good job and cheers! I think its great that I might be able to play RPG invasion with the new-coolness that is UT3! Thanks.

Are you intentioned to convert this masterpiece to ps3?

I think he's just giving us some initial monsters to get us started. The skull monsters don't hold weapons. Once the gametype is ironed out I'm sure others will be adding monsters.

I did notice a lot of "Multi-kill" stuff as well...wouldn't mind that blocked, but it's not critical.

Yes, but this:

yeah that worked removed old rpg stuf

Yes, the idea is to make monsters that do not carry weapons... the skulls were the first step. They now have a weapon that is not visible and spawns particles/beams from a specified 'bone'. Now if only I could figure out how to get their animations to work...

Yes, the initial monsters were primarily get things started. However, there seems to be some difficulty getting non-humanoid monsters in the game (not sure how to setup custom animations). I will be trying my hand at making some, but I can't promise anything great

I will see if I can over ride the announcements... it might be difficult to remove the vehicle ones seeing that they are hard coded into the various damage types.

yeah that worked removed old rpg stuf

BattleMode is in the middle of working on an update to the BattleRPG mutator... he does not have an exact time frame for the release, but it will probably not be too long.

Heh, this reminds me... once, early in testing on version 005 or 006, i actually spawned 100 Hammer Kralls ... the game actually still ran ok. Then I jumped into a Manta and mowed them down in-mass... then sat there for almost 3 minutes til the announcer caught up with all the road kills

You are welcome! Nice screen shots!

The notices are from when I was debugging the Monster Weapon... it is probably showing up when the monster is in the process of being deleted but the emitter is still trying to update. The beam emitter is only used on the plasma skulls and the new mini-darkwalker weapon. I will have the notices removed in the next version.

Alright, I got it figured out... which sets of announcements do you want me to disable? the Vehicle kills? and the Killing spree/multi kill messages?

[DarkGrue]

Dude, you work fast. Yeah those are the announcements I think should be removed. Thanks.

Is there any work on this project that people from around here can help with? I am a programmer, but I know C++ and php and not whatever the game uses for scripting. But I would be glad to help in between school and work.

Right now, the biggest thing you could do that is invasion specific that everyone would like the most is making more monsters... that would involve 3D modeling and animation.

Another idea would be to make invasion specific maps... The gametype will load maps starting with INV and I have a "MonsterStart" that the gametype will look for first when spawning monsters. However, it works very well with CTF/VCTF maps and the next release I have most of the clean up for WAR maps done, so they will working much better.

As far as coding, it involves Unreal Script, which is kinda like Java, but has a lot of Unreal specific stuff. I have the main part of the coding for the gametype completed. Most of it will now be working on features and enhancements.
