I havent played the original UT in quite a while, but I play UT2004 all the time, usually have a quick blast against some bots up to say 150-200 frags on my lunch time.  And I usually have a quick half hour 250-300 frags before I go to bed most nights.  Find it a good way to relax and take my mind off things, just bung on some headphones with some music blaring and have a blast, great fun.

Clock and I were easily as good as him after a while.  I used to enjoy defending the flag.  I was quite good at it.  

Admittedly I was always alot better at Quake than UT.

I was always better at Quake too, I can take Sam down 1v1 on that (Q3 at least...)

Id love to get back into it, but I dont think Sam will want UT running on a client server so anyone got any host ideas?

could always just find a random empty server and all join it ?

I tried setting up a server but I couldnt connect.  Empty server sounds like the next best bet.

You were connecting outgoing and incoming on different ports wernt you?
Title: UT
Post by: Deaths Head on June 20, 2006, 09:36:53 AM
I dont have control over ports. :)  I was hoping it would just work ;)

I have searched and I cannot find anything that would tell me how or if I am able to.  Plus I suspect it would be a tad CPU intensive :)

well need a time/plan.... from someone more reliable than me ;)

rouygh guess at a time, hows 9pm for most people ?
should be late enough that people can make it, and early enough so we can have a good long go without ending up silly late
Title: UT
Post by: redneck on June 21, 2006, 20:24:52 PM
yeah if we all go into irc first then we can decide from there.

we need someone with a beefy computer to host :D
Title: UT
Post by: knighty on June 21, 2006, 20:42:18 PM
i can run a 2nd computer as a dedicated host... which would run well fast.... its just the net connection that lets us down... 256kupstream will be a bit naff with 10 people on ?
Title: UT
Post by: knighty on June 21, 2006, 22:13:49 PM
edit

setting up a dedi server on my old pc... worth a try.... will get it woeking later on tonight :)

2nd computer is naff... will set it up tommorow after an overdue format :)

Post by: redneck on June 22, 2006, 00:22:00 AM

Post by: knighty on June 23, 2006, 22:37:25 PM

on a side note... my UT on my main rig is borked, the game runs silly fast... maybe its an X2 issue ?

Ill look into it  :shock:
Title: UT
Post by: Deaths Head on June 24, 2006, 07:41:05 AM
Is it still running?  Its not connecting for me.
Title: UT
Post by: knighty on June 24, 2006, 09:30:19 AM

Is that right? Not 8000?

http://192.168.0.20/ServerAdmin/  

Thats what comes up when trying to enter your ip straight into Firefox, but the it dies with connection problem.

Tried to connect to just the IP but it doesnt connect.
Title: UT
Post by: knighty on June 24, 2006, 15:40:25 PM
that server admin is pretty cool.... (the user name and pass are both "admin")

yeah its deffo port 80...  port 80 is the default one for it... and its deffo forwarded to the pc... the server runs fine over lan if i use the lan ip address...

Ill have a look see and try to figure it out
Title: UT
Post by: Deaths Head on June 24, 2006, 16:17:44 PM
Port 80 is not default for the game itself.  80 maybe for the web admin (which appears to now be working).  You cant have the game and the web admin running on the same port, they will conflict.

UDP Port 7777 is the default port which an Unreal Tournament Server

Post by: knighty on June 24, 2006, 16:41:42 PM
oops, k.

will forward the udp ports later on when my brother gets home (his routher and hes a nazi with the passwords!)

I found a few guids on the net too, changed the server name to my external address etc...

anyone else had a game that runs too fast ?  apparently its a well known game problem (mostly with laptops and AMD64 chips)... once you get over 200fps the game takes off and goes silly fast.... found a few guides to get round it tho if anyone else needs them!


p.s.  the plan is now the webadmin thing works as soon as the UDP ports are set itll be up and running !

just installing UT now :D also got the GOTY extras disk :D

What patches are needed?

Funny thing is is that im installing this game from a backup I did :D lol. The original game disk died when it smashed in my cd-rom drive ages and ages ago. Still have the original extras, and cant believe I actually thought to make a backup copy of it, but it was there.. in the box :D lol.

Nice one :D

Post by: knighty on June 24, 2006, 17:55:18 PM
theres just 1 patch that brings it totaly up to date...

you can download THIS (http://www.knighty1.com/UTupdates.rar) from my webspace (30meg) which is the newest update, and 4 map packs too (takes forever if you let them download when you connect!)

or if you see deaths heads link at the top of the page the firles are individually linked
(i only uploaded them bacause it was such a PITA getting them myself - popup HELL)

server will be working properly later on tonight :)

Ah probably wont patch tonight as bbq and stuff going on but cool.

Just played a quick game of it. My god I suck. Have to play it in 800x600 as well as this is a crap computer and doesnt have 3d acceleration and dies when trying to play it higher.

Post by: knighty on June 24, 2006, 20:56:01 PM
up and working now !

test it out someone :)

my ip address is 87.243.195.51

dont know if you need the port 80 stuff on the end tho....

so its 87.243.195.51:80 if you do :-)

run 87.243.195.51:80 in a web browser and youll get the remote UT admin thing - change maps etc....  username and password are both "admin"   everyone feel free to do what they want with it :)

Post by: knighty on June 26, 2006, 00:42:12 AM
bump... test it out someone !

if a single player joins a bot will join a few seconds later for you to fool around with !  (hell leave when another player enters)

Post by: Deaths Head on June 26, 2006, 07:49:20 AM
Its working for me, although it wants me to download skeletal chars...

For people whose game runs too fast, I recommend using the opengl driver available from here (http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/) and use the following settings in your UnrealTournament.ini

[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
Translucency=True
VolumetricLighting=False
ShinySurfaces=True
Coronas=True
HighDetailActors=True
DetailTextures=True
UseTrilinear=True
MaxAnisotropy=2
UseBGRATextures=true
UseMultiTexture=True
UsePalette=True
FrameRateLimit=60
UseAA=True
NumAASamples=4
MaxLogUOverV=8
MaxLogVOverU=8
MinLogTextureSize=0
MaxLogTextureSize=8
UseSSE=True
UseTexIdPool=True
UseTexPool=True
DynamicTexIdRecycleLevel=100
DetailTextures=True
UseDetailAlpha=True
SinglePassDetail=True
DetailMax=1
SinglePassFog=True
ColorizeDetailTextures=False


The key option will be the frame rate limit.  Other options should make it look ok.

Also, if you are using the Game of the Year edition with the high resolution texture CD also add this in the OpenGL section of the UnrealTournament.ini
UseS3TC=True
