UT 2003 Patch 2199

The_Neon_Cowboy

List Of Fixes......


GamePlay:
- Ambient weapon sounds (like minigun) aren't affected by level ambient sound volume changes.
- fixed translocator trail effect sometimes not working at start of game
- fixed blue translocator trail
- enabled weather effects on DE bonus pack maps
- made weapon ammo bars more visible on HUD
- terrain collision bug fix (this fixes the holes on CTF-Citadel and BR-Anubis)
- fixed Geothermal red flag base pipe hole
- fixed personal weapon stats for zoom instagib.
- fixed BR ball getting stuck in BR-TwinTombs
- fixed shark skin in multiplayer (DM-Oceanic)
- allow players to join chosen team even if its filled with bots
- fixed switchtolastweapon not working properly with link, lightning, and painter
- Made minigun and link "lock-down" effect configurable (server-side). To change the effect,
you will need to add the following lines to your UT2003.ini file, in the [UnrealGame.Deathmatch] section:

MinigunLockDownFactor=1.0
LinkLockDownFactor=1.0

The default is 1.0. A value of 0 = no momentum imparted, so no lockdown. This is visible in the game rules (in the server browser, or when pressing F2).

- added ability to turn off translocator switching back to previous weapon if fire is pressed while alt-fire still held down.
To change, add the following section to your user.ini file:
[XWeapons.Translauncher]
bPrevWeaponSwitch=false

Spectating:
- Added setspectatespeed exec function, which allows you to change the speed at which spectator moves on the fly. Default speed is 600.
- improved spectating switching between viewed players

- don't show "now viewing" at resolutions < 640x480
- added viewed player name to first person HUD.

Mod support:
- Fixed AddIni command for updating ini files by patches and umods.
- fixed a problem with ReviewJumpSpots on some levels. (ReviewJumpSpots is used to verify that bots can use the Jumpspots as they are currently placed and flagged).
- Modified Speech Binder and Controls config to be more flexible

Networking/Servers:
- reduced cheat protection false positives
- stats work for servers with bots (bots not included in stats)

Thanx there Neon_Cowboy.. i heard about this patch a couple days ago .. gonna go give it a whirl now.

I'm still wondering when Epic is going to get around to releasing their bonus pack. I thought is was coming *any day now*..heh

The_Neon_Cowboy

I allready have it

It's out!

dipstick

Awesome; thx for the heads up

farmeunit

Neon_Cowboy - I only have the Digital Extremes Bonus Pack. I didn't think the Epic one was out. Where is it?

The_Neon_Cowboy

oops! thats all I have Digital Extremes Bonus Pack

pat1999

i installed it now my ut dont work...and it says insert cd...i reinstalled the cd crack and still doesnt work. why

CherryPopper

Not sure there pat1999, I have a retail copy

The_Neon_Cowboy

becouse it new... you'll need a new cd crack it to stop asking for your cd... assuming you must have one.... use it till the new crack comes out...

pat1999

hahha..u guys buy games...who does that

ToshiroOC

I do, pat, since I don't like to steal software, and I like to support the software companies who make the software I use...

Darksider

I do, for games I really like. I buy them so I don't have the exact problems that you are having.

Zardon

and just remember for all those great games you dont buy, it affects future game development. yes I know that sounds old but its true. I heard from a good source that was why Rockstar werent going to develop Vice City on the PC format. the PS2 market was much more profitable.

so my advice is. for all those games you CAN afford and you love. its worth giving something back.

Duddy76

lol....alredy have the patch

Duddy76

nothing changed though :P

Duddy76

lot of fixes...yeah sure :P

bbabnikk

Heh...Vice City Is Coming out for PC...I Saw it on their website

The_Neon_Cowboy

multi payer server brower few chages thier ... otherwise mostly fixes...


If no one buys the games then they will stop makeing them.. then what would you play then? doom? LOL


I agree compleatly...... people like pat1999 make copy protection nessacary.. Companies see that pople are ripping off ther games to much they put some real pain in the *** copy protection in it. I have allready noticed some programs requireing special web / phone activation to use thier software. Evey time it is installed!

Chaos

I agree that you should buy the games that you play on a regular basis. I finally found that the CD1 with SecureRom 4.8 can be successfully copied to protect your original. It was a bit of a pain in the ass to get it to work but now I don't have to Duct Tape my cdrom drive shut to protect the cd
