I noticed approximately is spelled wrong in your screenshot above. Other than that, this should be awesome. RPG is always fun.

I just tried it out, and you're making great progress with it so far

Just a few things though;

- Abilities don't seem to kick in until you have died. Only notice with things like regen, resupply, but I guess it would apply to damage as well.

-The way that you vamp and regen to 200 no matter what your max spawn health is kinda seems strange to me. Is it going to stay like that in the final version? And you also can't pick up vials/kegs with 200 health, dunno whether that was intentional or not.

-The way that Weapon Speed,Damage Bonus/Reduction are now "abilites". Is it/will it be possible to some how still code them as an "ability", but make them a stat that you just put up like in UT2004RPG? And if that did happen, I assume that you would allow config for their caps. Actually, just realised that if I changed the max level of the ability in the .ini, so that does work as a cap. So maybe it will work with how it is.. Lol

-Oh, and I don't think it would be too hard to code an option to toggle 'Mana' on or off? There's probably a few server admins out there that would see it as unfair, making the good players even harder to kill

K there's my opinion on a few things. All that aside though, you're making great progress with it so far

The game needs to be running, the menu is empty until you actually start playing. Yes this RPG is roughly similar to the UT2004 version.

Yes that is correct, in part that is by design since some things are very hard to change when a player has already spawned. Perhaps I should kill the player to make sure that happens (players should be discouraged from changing their build too often, especially given that you can also sell abilities).

-The way that you vamp and regen to 200 no matter what your max spawn health is kinda seems strange to me. Is it going to stay like that in the final version?

It is configurable so server owners can change this. I will think about different settings.

And you also can't pick up vials/kegs with 200 health, dunno whether that was intentional or not.

I will look into that.

-The way that Weapon Speed,Damage Bonus/Reduction are now "abilites". Is it/will it be possible to some how still code them as an "ability", but make them a stat that you just put up like in UT2004RPG?

Yes, I specifically designed it this way. It keeps it simpler for the player and more flexible for the server owner.

-Oh, and I don't think it would be too hard to code an option to toggle 'Mana' on or off? There's probably a few server admins out there that would see it as unfair, making the good players even harder to kill

The current Mana implementation is a temporary stub until I implement artifacts. When there are artifacts the current bonus will be probably be removed. Also I intend to make everything as configurable as possible for the server owner.

K there's my opinion on a few things. All that aside though, you're making great progress with it so far

Thank you, and thank you for your feedback.

Nice, with each version this gets better and better.

[BuffyTheSlayer]

oh I see ..

so UT3 is no Adrenaline so no more artifacts (Glob lightning rod flying boot ete) ??

[NightEye]

Are there any servers permanent running this?

[VerteX]

what's up with 'sell' ?

that wasn't on UT2004RPG, i don't have UT3 yet, so i can't test to see what this is.

do you like, sell abilities for xp?

Nice, with each version this gets better and better.

Thank you.
