For more information about the server shutdown and OpenSpy, see https://ut2004serverlist.com/
• Monster Evolution is now connected to OpenSpy instead of Epic's master server. Players will no longer be able to browse to the server if they're using Epic's master server. Players can still connect to the server via IP address ( 74.91.119.108:7777 ) or through their favorites.

ME_RPGExpansion

• Putrid Expiration no longer prohibits Necromancers from cursing them. Curses and Putrid Expiration can affect the same target at the same time.
• Multiple instances of Putrid Expiration can now stack. If the victim is already poisoned, then the additional stack of Putrid Expiration simply increases the poison duration by its full amount (6 seconds).
• Multiple Necromancers' Putrid Expiration are now able to stack damage on a single target. The XP award is distributed between the Necromancers.
• Necromancers are now able to stack their own poison supremacy and Frost Lich damage over time effects without preventing other Necromancers from doing the same. Multiple instances of Poison Supremacy/Frost Lich from different Necromancers can now stack.

DWMonsterAssault

• Added new console command 'SkipCutscene'. When the game is playing a skippable cutscene, players can vote to skip it. If majority of the players voted to skip the cutscene, it'll do so.
  • To avoid breaking map scripts, this feature is disabled by default. The level designer will have to use a ASCinematic_FirstPersonSceneManager actor and set its bSkippable flag to true. This also means that maps require an update in order to make their cutscenes skippable.
  • If the game skips the cutscene, it'll NOT invoke the scene manager's EventSceneEnded event. However it'll trigger a MESkipCutscene event so level designers can update their map state despite the cutscene not finishing.
  • If there are any independent scripts associated with the cutscene, those scripts will continue, but the players would not be viewing the cameras.
  • If there are scripts listening for camera events (such as DWCinematicCamera's EventViewingCamera), those events will not trigger since players are no longer viewing from them.
  • Spectators cannot vote to skip the cutscenes nor do they influence the threshold.
  • Dead players are able to vote to skip the cutscenes and they do influence the threshold.

• Added debugging command 'DebugMonster' to log the state of the monster AI.

SmartMonsterPack/Sample

• Doom Seekers can now protect up to 3 monsters. When protected, projectiles will pass through them. Doom Seekers cannot protect other Doom Seekers. The protected monsters are not invulnerable as there are other ways to harm them.
• Summoned dragons will now try to fly up if they are struck while landing.
• Summon Razor Flies and Summon Giant Razor Flies can now deal lingering venom damage to victims they strike. If they strike a victim that's already inflicted, it would simply increase the venom damage.
  • The Giant Razor Fly's venom damage is more intense compared to the normal flies.
  • Flies from different hives (such as when there are multiple support summoners), the venom damage stacks and works independently, giving each summoner XP credit for the damage.
  • Vehicles and turrets are immune to fly venom.
  • The Giant Razor Flies can now do lingering venom damage by default. Its intensity is weaker compared to the summoned Giant Razor Fly.
• Implemented Search and Destroy mode. If true, then the monster will scan the area in search for hostiles to attack or friendlies to protect.
• If the monster's attitude is max or follow, then the monster will follow a player. If the attitude is friendly, then it'll obey its order assigned to them (such as patrolling or wandering).
• Idling monsters that are ordered to patrol will return to their patrol shortly after entering the RestFormation or Roaming state.
• Patrolling friendly monsters no longer interrupt their patrol upon observing an allied player.
• If a monster spots a new Enemy while in its victory dance state, it'll assess if the target is a friend or foe before deciding if it should engage the new target instead of always attacking them.
• Added safety check to the monster AI to prevent friendly monsters from attacking players.
• Ice Dragons, Toxic Sliths, Advanced Rocket WailLords, Advanced Energy WailLords, and Electric Sliths no longer drain adrenaline from friendly fire.
• Fixed the idle sounds in multiplayer for the following monsters: Cacodemon, Cherub, Commando, CyberDemon, Maggot, Pinky, and Sabaoth.
• Fixed the second 'swish' sound effect from the Angus attack in multiplayer.
• Increased the size of the cyber demon projectile to better match the scale of the demon.
• Increased the scale of the cyber demon's mouth fire FX to better match the scale of the demon.
• Improved performance with LurveDragons when they're healing nearby allies.
• SmartMonsterPack no longer depends on Effigy.
• Fixed rare crash where a monster with an alarm tag attempts to find an alarm at the same time it's transitioning over to the RestFormation state.
• Fixed bug where monsters could trigger its KilledEvent more than once (such as when the warlord plays its falling death state, it would technically 'die' twice).
• Fixed node access error when Wraiths are unable to find a nearby valid teleport location.

DWAssaultMapperTools

• New Curse: Possessed - causes the victim to dodge around.
• MenuUseTrigger can now load a menu via MenuClassReference instead of string. This is useful for any 'myleveled' menu classes.
• The Monster Spawner can now configure the razor fly's venom level.
• Monsters can no longer stack the Protection boon multiple times on one target.
• Added InstigatorOnly flag for the PRIRelicCheck. If true, then the relic check will only run the checks on the event instigator instead of all members on the team.
• Implemented DWShootableTrigger. Same as a Trigger actor but the level designer is able to configure which damage types are relevant in order to trigger the actor.
• Implemented GUI_InfoPage_DefaultMsgParent, a simple info page that allows level designers to set the text without relying on replicating large strings across the network. This class requires level designers to create subclasses in order to customize the default message.
• Implemented DWIonKillVolume - Same as the Ion Cannon Kill volume, but it implements the following features:
  • Supports multiple class constraints.
  • Can be toggled when triggered.
  • This volume also fixes the following bugs:
    • Fixes bug where the driver would freeze in mid air out when their vehicle is destroyed.
    • Fixes bug where players could escape the Ion Cannon when switching to a passenger seat.

DWMonsterAssault

New temporary map: All Bets Lost
Come one... come all! These hallowed grounds hosts a unique PvP platform where many will come to test their skills, might, and wit.
This arena also provides a platform for warriors to measure their damage per second.

The contestants come here to fight in Albatross.
The spectators come here to witness 'All Bets Lost'.


New temporary map: CoLuLsseum
The contestants are back in the familiar arena. The spectators are eager to see the bloodshed once again, but ... for some reason ... the contestants don't know how to fight. None of them seem to know how to aim, and they keep bumping into the corners. Maybe the monsters sabotaged them before the battle even started.


New temporary map: Xenomorph Colonist Part 1
We have no contact with the marines. We're on our own for this one. Although the lockdown may have slowed the Xenomorphs, we can't hide in this garage forever. We have to go back in there and restore the power. With our luck, some of the sectors are still operational running on auxiliary power. But who knows for how much longer? Once the power is back, we should be able to contact someone for extraction.

For the few of us colonists that are still alive, we're going back in there with no combat training, no armor, and no weapons. But what other choice do we have?


Note: Xenomorph Colonist Part 2 is not yet available. It'll be arriving soon.
