More to do.

Post by Hermskii » Fri Jan 14, 2011 2:05 am

Hey folks,

I still have plenty to do on this server but I just wanted to be able to hit the ground with it already. I know it doesn't have MapVote and all of the cool stuff like the other servers but I will get that stuff on it. I have a whole list of stuff to do.

I will lay out a best way to play this later but for right now, just get in and check out the weapons. When you die, don't respawn! Look around and just watch the maddness! Peace!
~Peace~

Hey,
I'm new to your forum and server, but certainly not new to U4e.....It's practically all I played for many years. I'm so happy to see a U4e server running (was having to play it single player forever now.) I have a question about your map vote configuration: When I scroll the mouse wheel up to change weapons, it induces the map vote window. I went to 'config' and I see where to change it, but it won't let me change it (click in the box and select a different key....nada!) Any ideas?

Hey, first of all - WELCOME to one of the Best UT forums on the net Poolgod. LOL
Thanks for joining us.

Well, as far as MapVote goes, that is one little "bug" that seems to pop up.
MapVote reads your User.ini file to see if you have the MapVote Window configured or not.
If not, it then lets you configure it when you join the server.
If you have it configured, the window doesn't even come up.
And, if you want to change it, MapVote still won't do it.
It was never fixed in MapVote.

What you need to do is Manually change it.
Open your User.ini file. (open with notepad or any text browser)
You then have to look for where MapVote's Window is configured in that file.
It will be in amongst the other configured key settings somewhere.
Being you switch weapons with your mouse wheel, it will be ONE of your weapon numbers.
Here are the stock weapons...
0=SwitchWeapon 10
1=SwitchWeapon 1
2=SwitchWeapon 2
3=SwitchWeapon 3
4=SwitchWeapon 4
5=SwitchWeapon 5
6=SwitchWeapon 6
7=SwitchWeapon 7
8=SwitchWeapon 8
9=SwitchWeapon 9


When you DO find the MapVote Open Window key, just delete that entry after the "=" sign.
Or better yet, copy it to use - see next item.
Now, you can then save the User.ini file and then go back into the server and it will ask you to select a key to use for the MapVote Window again, or "next item" you can move it to a different key within the User.ini file.
I have mine using the "a" key like so...
A=blahblahblah (don't know the exact wording as I am not at home)
It is best to find a key that is never used in UT or when you are typing a message.
Maybe an open "F" key like "F7=".
If I find more exact info, I will come back and post it. :wink:

Hey there PoolGod! Ahahaha! I wasn't sure what to expect when I approved your registration request. Look at this! you're real! Who would have thought? Welcome to the show. Be sure to post about your self in our Welcome to the Show topic.

HOOK pretty much told you everything you need to know in regards to your question.

I'm as thrilled to meet you as you are thrilled to find a U4E server. I'd like to have plenty of discussions with you in regards how best to set it up. Think you'll be around and playing it for a while? Let's talk!
~Peace~

Thanks for the info, I found it and changed it!
Yes, I love U4e more than BF1942 (Desert Combat), which I also play, and would play U4e much more if only there were people to play. :roll: I'll still get on from time to time to see if anyone's there....or will check here for someone to post a time that they think they'll be playing.
Oh, another question....I'm not exactly sure how the maps work (if they have fixed weapons or if U4e weapons replace regular UT weapons at a particular spawn point,) but are there any of the giant maps available for U43 (for instance DM-LivingRoom?) I played in a giant maps community clan way back when and was thinking that the sheer size of the maps might be well suited to U4e weapons.

Hello again Poolgod! As I mentioned, I'm thrilled you found the server and thus this forum along the way. I'm glad to hear you have played this mod a bunch because while I have not, I had downloaded it many years back and had always wanted to crank up a server with it. There are two others that play it a bunch or at least used to, One of them had the name Eric and I forget the other.

About the weapons. There is a super massive collection of them. Over 60 I think. I can set the weapons to totally change out the regular ones or swap some here and there or stay with strictly UT stuff. I can also tell them to respawn at the default locations or have them spawn in random places on the map. The downside here is that I have some trouble getting them to swap out sometimes.

About the maps...
You just send me the map (complete) you want on the server and I'll put it on so long as it doesn't break any of the rules here like showing cuss words or too much nudity and all of that. I try to keep it pretty clean here and on the servers. Let me know what you're wanting me to do with the server and let's see if we can't go in that direction. For instance, I'd love a list of the best weapons to cycle. I'd love to know which ones never to use for that matter. Do you know and understand all of the settings in the config options for this mod. The readme is really weak and leaves plenty of room for mistakes.
~Peace~

I really need to take a look at this U4E mod.
I do not remember when I have played it, if ever, or what it was like.
I will be checking it out soon. :wink:

Thanks for the welcome!
Actually, when I first got UT99 (2001), I played U4e for 6 months before I finally went to a different server. I went to the new server and was wondering what these strange, different weapons were. I had no idea that I had been playing a mod instead of the original game. Although UT is great, U4e was way too much fun to stop.
You really should check it out. I would recommend playing the U4e TestLevel map. It has all of the U4e weapons. Just try not to shoot the cattle, and the Nali (they are subservient.) Hoobada! :lol: I'm going to try to be on the U4e server as much as I can today, if anyone shows up, I'll show you around a bit (if you'd like.)
Oh, I have another mapvote question! I noticed that once I have voted for a map, it is no longer available to choose. Please tell me that I don't have to play every single other map before I can get back to the U4e maps!?! Also I noticed that some maps have no weapons on them (or almost none) and you have to use the default weapons that you spawn with. I'll try to write down those maps, if I ever get to choose them again (don't remember which.)

Hey thanks for the information about U4e Poolgod. :wink:

Also, any of the U4e settings, weapons for the maps, etc., will be for Hermskii to respond to.

AS for the MapVote question...
Yes, once you have voted for a map and played it, it shows up in red and it is no longer available to choose in the MapVote Map Listing for the amount of maps in the setting discussed below.
This is a setting in the MapVote ini file that the server admin, Hermskii in this case, sets.
The setting - Example...
RepeatLimit=2 <-(the "2" here is the setting)
This setting can be changed to whatever the server admin wants.
This number is How Many Maps must be chosen and played before it is able to be chosen to play again.
Hermskii can reset it to whatever, but he usually has a good reason for setting it where he has it.

Hermskii?
