Hi all,

There are 10 new RPG abilities coming to the server. They are currently on the development server which can be accessed via:

IP: 204.11.33.157
Port: 9090
Password: ut2015x

The abilities add four new classes, some useful tools, and some new ways to survive the monsters. What is on the dev server is currently being ironed out but its near its completion. Below is a list of all the new abilities. Please reply with any feedback you may have and any bugs you find. I currently am aware that:

GREEN = FIXED

The care package gives you powerups every wave you spawn after wave 10
The assassin invis artifact kills you when you turn it off
The engineer maze base spawns in the ground
The barricades are not turning colors to indicate their health
The classes are giving you a new copy of the special weapon each level you purchase (if more than one level is purchased in one shot)
The manhattan project is not awarding points for kills
The team bunker spawns in the ground
HEV and Health Stations spawn a little low
Prevent refund abuse

If you find any bugs (in the log as well) that I didn't list then please reply to this thread and let me know. Thanks for your help.

had not much time yet, just played a handfull minutes yesterday,
yeah logfile had a lot errors in that time, but i was in a hurry and
accidently turned power off from my pc instead of shut down so it
was lost, but looks like you found them yourself

hope i find time later, atm a bit to busy with unplanned privat things :/

but what i can tell so far, the ability-menu is a bit confusing, i dunno,
is it possible to sort these things a bit?

for example like: (not completed list, just a handfull)

----------------------------------------------
equipment:
blue wrench
purple wrench
silver wrench
gold wrench
platin wrench (ok just kidding )
----------------------------------------------
classes:
assassin
enineer
medic
support
-----------------------------------------------
health:
regeneration
field medic (medic weapon maker)
vampirism
ghost
resurect
----------------------------------------------
bonus features:
care package
last stand
ultima2

etc, etc.
some things dont look for me beeing a class or an advanced feature,
also what feature can be used with other featuers, are all at once buyable
or is it like with classes, only one possible?

if i read all the infos, its like if i buy all, i cant die, but monsters will by
just looking at me, and in case i do die, all monsters will die too, so,
all i have to do is at least kill one monster to enable the features,
and then i can go rest and monster die from allone.

testing it as level 500 doesnt give me enough points to buy all (!) so i dont know
if its supposed to be all buyable.

like i said i was in a hurry and could be i missunderstood some things again, wouldnt be the
first time

ats

I reorganized the rpg items a bit. I also fixed some bugs. I'm working on how many points you'll need now.

I deleted this because I was really pissed off when i wrote it.

Still pissed though. Will gather my (and others thoughts) and try to write a less scathing blurb.

If you forgot to add the nra abibility or you removed it on purpose, please add it again (or remove obama), it just sucks if you get stolen your fully loaded wep in the middle of the game. More over it would be nice if you could add the medic weapon maker again.
A detailed description of the new abibilities would be nice too. (for example: Care Package: which PUs do you get with which level, and how much do the levels cost).

Thanks in adavance

P.S.: If you add medic weapon maker again, perhabs you can unfix the possibility to medic translocator again. If you could gold trans (i heart that it was possible some time ago) it would be great too. Last but not least i recognized that you cannot summon wrenches anymore with the lucky PU, perhabs you can add this too (one wrench of each kind is too less for 20 waves, so you force the players to suicide to get a new one).

Oh and that server crash voting map is the biggest joke ever. It takes at least 30 s till you can vote for a map, and then as almost every time countdown already runs and you have at most 3 seconds to search for a decent map. Mostly you did not made it in time and some shitty map has been selected automatically. So you have to wait again for 30 s to vote for a decent map. Perhabs you can extend the time till map is choosen automatically at least to 60 s.

And the last improvement suggestion: it would be nice if there would be a longer break between waves. Perhabs 10 s more time to reload weapons or exchange PUs or jug weapons with other players. I know that you have done this perhabs on purpose so that the score whores can use their tripple damage for another wave in a row, but you should rather support the team idea, than players who only try to get the highest number of points. Perhabs a compromise would be, if you only extend the break between waves 1-18 and not between wave 18 - 20?

Server seems to be down, or is it runnin gon a new IP?
