RPG Assault Server questions.

[DW_ToxicWaste]

Well let me ask you guys, do you think it is correct the way it is now? Should I leave it alone? Or do you think it's too easy to get leveled up?

[DW_Ifondlesweaters]

After about level 100 it becomes significantly harder to level up, yet my stats arent so overpowered that the game isn't frustrating. If it was harder to beat the monsters I probably wouldn't play too much. But I haven't really been playing RPG too much since the Instagib server is so hot. Totally hotzorz. :blob6: :occasion9:


The Volva rifle, Flamethrower, etc. are very cool weapons and I usually end up hunting those down (if the ion tank is occupied...hee hee). Wish we could see more of these.

I find that some of the maps are still pretty hard if I am the only one playing with the bots, because they just go brain dead. This is especially true on long maps such as the egyptian one.

However, when you get a game where everyone has ultima, than it is usually over pretty quickly. :D

How I play depends on the map however. Some of the shorter maps I just try to clear out all of the monsters before moving on to the next objective.

I think it's fine the way it is. Leveling up gets harder as sweatrs said before.

I only wish there was a better way to balance things when you are at say level 125 and are playing with someone on level 30. The monsters are ver easy for the person at level 125 to kill and I'm sure it's not very fun for the person on level 30. The map goes very very fast. Don't know if there's something you can do about that, but it would be nice if the monsters were as hard for you to kill when you're playing with just bots and when you're playing with someone on a different level.

I downloaded all the files but havinga little problem with this one:
http://amethyst.s176.xrea.com/SpecialWe ... n_v02c.zip

Unpacked it on my /ut2004/system folder but doesn't show up on the mutators list, so don't know if something is missing.
All help welcome :)

- I looked at the zip and Its got the ucl file , I dont see why you can't see it in your mutator list , - just make sure the u and the ucl file are in the ut system folder - :)

[LoneTiger]

Yeah I put the 2 files in the system folder and now I see the mutator, no configuration options, tested it on normal ONS-Torlan but no weapons appeared, guess I do miss something :)

Of course, all help is more than welcome.

On side note; If the server is readjusted, just the monsters need to be 'calibrated' for the map, plus debug the RPG so bonuses apply properly from the very begining of each stage.
more maps would also be very welcome :)

Keep the good work.

-- Well If your trying to make the SWS mutator work alone , thats not going to happen , because it relays on this files in order to work ..

ExcessiveV301.u
FHI.u
rEffects.u
UmonsterMEshes.u
UWM.u
And those files need this packages..

ExcessiveTex.utx
ExcessiveTex_B.utx
FHITex.utx
FHIWeaponTex.utx
rWeaponFX.utx
rWeaponSkins.utx

ExcessiveMesh.usx
FHIMonsters.usx
FHIsmeshes.usx
rWeaponMeshes.usx

FHISounds.uax
rWeaponSounds.uax

ExcessiveWeapons.ukx
FHIAnim.ukx
rWeaponAnims.ukx
After you got all these set up then you will see the config options for the SWS mutator .. thus Use it

Now if you wonder where to get those files (wich you already have tho)- Send me a Pm with your Sn on yahoo and the time you can be loged in and Ill quickly send you the zip with all you need over yahoo im... only on yahoo im because thats the only public im servirce i'd ever dare to use :)

[LoneTiger]

Thanks for the help e_alpha.
I re-got all the files and placed them, presents pop-up, relics pop up but still no special guns.
also tested it all with an ons-torlan again, was trying to get monsters in it :)
I'm sure i got all the files you mentioned, checked them all together, only file different is the excessive guns being version 302 instead of 301.

[zeus]

I played 7 - 8 games yesterday. For some reason, it is like my points don't matter in most games. I have 350+ on my damage and 250+ on my protection and I am getting wiped out by the monsters.

Did you turn up the monster ability?

However, in one game, it seemed to have kicked on because I was just laying into them at the end of a game of Castle.

[LoneTiger]

Thanks to e_alpha I almost got it fully working.
Only bug right now is that the special weapons like double pistols, turbo laser, etc do not appear in the maps, double checked the files and i do have them all in their directories.

All help most welcome :)

PS: Zeus yeah I saw that, for some reaosn today i was playing and it was hard, but all of the sudden i was mowing through the monsters like happy mouse through a cake, guess i finally found ammo that actually damages the monsters :)
