Released: BattleRPG V5 now with Invasion and Invasion!

[BattleMode]

Actually, what I meant was make it so there are Skills which are used through Hotkeys. Like sorcery or some ****. Y'know, like fireballs, huge beams of fire, freezing, ect. ect.

Also, uhhh. I do not see any Glutanors Invasion servers. All I see is a Bombing Run Server (Frigging weird). Honestly I know i'm upgraded to P5 and latest (006) of invasion. Any clue what's up?

Also note I know you didn't make Invasion. I simply do not see your server with RPG invasion though.

Epic did a **** job with custom gamemode support, UT3 doesn't currently support everything custom gamemodes need. Though they've said that it'll be fixed in patch two, problem is we gotta wait for them to finish the stupid xbox 360 version of UT3 for them to start working on a patch to fix it and many other things.

Yes I also think it is a UT3 problem, not a Galtanor problem. Other gametypes seem to have similar problems. BattleRPG is not a gametype but a mutator so it is not involved in this.

You can connect to the Invasion BattleRPG server by pressing F10 and typing: "open 79.99.24.9:8888" or "open inv.bigbattleservers.com:8888".

You can also add all BigBattleServers.com UT3 servers to your UT3 favorites at once by replacing the UTGame.UTDataStore_GameSearchFavorites section of UTGame.ini (in the \My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config directory) with the following section:

[UTGame.UTDataStore_GameSearchFavorites]
ServerUniqueId[0]=117348243
ServerUniqueId[1]=119165793
ServerUniqueId[2]=119167662
ServerUniqueId[3]=119167841
ServerUniqueId[4]=119167776
ServerUniqueId[5]=119167717
ServerUniqueId[6]=
ServerUniqueId[7]=
ServerUniqueId[8]=
ServerUniqueId[9]=
ServerUniqueId[10]=
ServerUniqueId[11]=
ServerUniqueId[12]=
ServerUniqueId[13]=
ServerUniqueId[14]=

(If you already have favorite servers, simply add the numbers to the free entries in the list).

[BattleMode]

In Mysterials 2K4RPG, he had the attributes and skills seperated and this is where the original question comes from (I think). I also agree that having these two seperated on the 'Purchase Menu' would make things a lot easier to read. I also understand that it is not a priority for you at this point as you want more functionality before implimenting a more complex UI.

Actually I think the current aproach of making everything an ability is easier to understand. It also makes it more flexible for server admins. I agree the actual menu has to become nicer.

I would still like to see classes implimented (or at least the ability to add classes) with the option to customize the classes easily.

I am not a great fan of classes in RPG (my own UT2004 flavor never had them) but I know a lot of people love them so I will enable them in BattleRPG (probably after I implemented the artifacts). I will then include several INI examples allowing server admins to choose for classes or not. The classes will become completely dynamic allowing server admins to design their own.

For example: A Gunner can increase his weapon damage attribute to level 20 but weapon speed is capped at level 5 and costs 10 RPG$ per level and movement speed is not an option, cap level 0. But a Sniper has weapon damage cap 0, Weapon Speed cap 20 and Movement speed cap 10).

Hm I didn't think of this yet, good suggestion.

With classes comes the ever popular Medic class which needs the ability to heal their teammates. Mysterials 2k4 RPG handled this by adding a Medic Weapon that did 50% less damage to enemies, but healed teammates. This is a must with or without classes implimented.

Agreed, especially with invasion.

Loaded Weapons, Denial

Yes those are on the list (almost all abilities of UT2004RPG, DruidsRPG and my own RPGKIT are). Some are harder than others (e.g. Denial is quite complicated) so some will take longer than others.

[BattleMode]

Please read what I just posted you two. I didn't post it for no reason. What I meant was Macros for more Skill-Like Skills, like beams of fire, fireballs, explosions around the user. Stuff like that; more like sorcery. I think that could be fun if you get good at it, and completely revamp the game.

Ah, now I understand what you mean, thank you for explaining it. Next on my list is to add artifacts to BattleRPG, I think you can roughly compare those to active (magic) powers. They will burn Mana.

Next on my to do list is to add artifacts to BattleRPG. This will allow you to actively select an artifact and activate it (assuming you have enough Mana).

I still do not understand what in your view the difference between skills and abilities would be. The things you mention here are almost all available in BattleRPG and are called abilities there.

Really, there is no difference. I think what the original poster of that question was trying to say is he wants more abilities. I just chimed in to try to make it less confusing.

In Mysterials 2K4RPG, he had the attributes and skills seperated and this is where the original question comes from (I think). I also agree that having these two seperated on the 'Purchase Menu' would make things a lot easier to read. I also understand that it is not a priority for you at this point as you want more functionality before implimenting a more complex UI.

I would still like to see classes implimented (or at least the ability to add classes) with the option to customize the classes easily.

Perhaps allow the player to set a class before purchasing abilities can begin. Based on the players class, different ability level caps and/or cost per level can be set (For example: A Gunner can increase his weapon damage attribute to level 20 but weapon speed is capped at level 5 and costs 10 RPG$ per level and movement speed is not an option, cap level 0. But a Sniper has weapon damage cap 0, Weapon Speed cap 20 and Movement speed cap 10).

It would be nice to be able to have config files that simply store the classes and their abilities and level caps in plain english that the scripting reads from to allow more imaginitive admins to create their own classes or customize their classes and their abilities to how they see fit.

With classes comes the ever popular Medic class which needs the ability to heal their teammates. Mysterials 2k4 RPG handled this by adding a Medic Weapon that did 50% less damage to enemies, but healed teammates. This is a must with or without classes implimented.

The most obvious classes to impliment would be Gunner, Sniper, and Medic. After adding a better Mana system and Artifacts, more and more unique classes can be added.

Attributes (Basically most of the items you already have):
Max Health Bonus - Increase maximum health by 10% per level.
Max Ammo Bonus - Increase maximum ammo limit by 10% per level.
Max Mana Bonus - Increase maximum mana by 10% per level.
Run Speed Bonus - Increase run speed by 5% per level.
Weapon Speed Bonus - Increase weapon speed by 5% per level.
Damage Bonus - Increase damage by 5% per level.
Damage Reduction Bonus - Decrease damage taken by 5% per level.

Skills (Most you already have):
Regeneration - Heals 1 health per second per level. Does not heal past Max Health. You must have a Max Health Bonus level equal to 3 times the ability level you wish to have before you can purchase it. (Example: To purchase level 5 Regeneration, you will need Max Health Bonus level of 15.)

Vampirism - Whenever you damage another player, you are healed for 5% of the damage per level (up to your Max Health + 50). You can't gain health from self-damage. You must have a Damage Bonus of at least 10 to purchase this ability.

Resupply - Adds 1 ammo per level to each ammo type you own every 3 seconds. Does not give ammo to superweapons or the translocator. You must have a Max Ammo Bonus of at least 10 to purchase this ability.

Loaded Weapons - When You Spawn:
Level 1: You are granted all regular weapons with the default percentage chance for magic weapons default ammo.
Level 2: You are granted all regular weapons with the default percentage chance for magic weapons and max ammo.
Level 3: You are granted super weapons.
Level 4: Magic weapons will be generated for all your weapons.
Level 5: You receive all positive magic weapons.
You must be a level equal to 10 times the ability level you wish to purchase. (Example: Level 10 can purchase level 1 and level 40 can purchase level 4)

Denial - The first level allows you to respawn with the weapon and ammo you were using when you died. The second level will save all your weapons when you die. You must be a level equal to 25 times the ability to purchase this skill. This ability does not trigger for self-inflicted death.

I have a very long list of abilities that can be implimented. I just wanted to give you enough so you get an idea of what can be done.

If you want more, let me know and I'll post them.

YEah, but when do you unlock these, for Dodge is gotten a 1 and Vampirism is unlocked at 14 or 15. I really would love to know when i can get stuff like Ammo regeneration or Damage reduction.

Great, thanks for the response

[BattleMode]

Just a question.

Does this mod add anything extra other than Invasion support over BattleRPG 4?

So if i don't play invasion i don't need to upgrade to V5?

Yes some small enhancements:
V4 -> V5
Changes suggested by Shambler to remove potential exploits.
Fixed a bug which sometimes prevented a players level to be loaded from the database.
Implemented a backup database to minimize the chance of a player ever losing levels.
Implemented connection logic to allow BattleRPG to work together with Invasion.
Fixed several ScriptWarnings.

More like attributes vs skills.

Attributes:
Max Health
Max Damage
Weapon Speed
Max Mana (?)
Movement Speed
Damage Reduction
Etc.

Skills:
Vampirism
Dodge Jump
dont have time to think of more at this time. May make a larger list for you later.

Attributes can be as simple as, you raise the level, those attributes increase.

Skills can probably be used if you have the mana to use them. Perhaps they can be used like relics, only you always have them?

Just throwing out ideas.
