OpenArena Message Boards

I hopped on the Urban Terror server yesterday (jul 24) and experienced frequent connection interrupts.  My ping would be in the 60's and then it would suddenly show everyone with  a ping of 999 and there would be a connection interrupt.  I notice now that the server hasn't been up since late last night.  Any word when it's coming back online?  Any word what the problem is?  The only reason i upgraded to 0.7 was to play on that server

you don't need to use openarena to play urban terror, they have their own free engine now. it's called iourbanterror and you can get it here. http://www.urbanterror.net/page.php?6 (http://www.urbanterror.net/page.php?6)

at the end all have the same engine ... ioquake3
but openarena has +bloom

iourbanterror is based on ioquake3, but they have made some changes.

here's a link to the patch file....
http://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/urbanterror/iourbanterror/source/ioquake3_patch/ioUrbanTerror_2007_04_02.patch

I took a quick look some interesting things are
battleye, server side pure hack, some little cosmetic changes
but yes it suits better for urbanterror

sorry my server dude switched machines the other night, so now its back up, sometimes under random names.. Just keep an eye out for colorful server names and the gametype labeled UT... and yeah, there is a  stand alone urban terror, but i really prefer the older version of it. I used UT2.5 for open arena, not just to wax nostalgia, but because every release after 2.5 kept nerfing the guns in every aspect (seriously, every readme was like this damage decreased, that cone of fire increased...) Being that my servers are The Games of Slaughter, i wanted the weapons to be deadly and the action to be quick...

I just cant stand playin the new UT where you can unload a full clip into someone and they just wont die... I realize its supposed to be team based, where you need more guys to take em  down, but they also took out the realism i think, because in real life you can unload a clip and take out multiple targets... I also cant stand the maps on the new servers, theres no laneway, no subway, and the ones they do play are too bottle necky and tunnely...But nearly every map on my server is either open or small, so the action is nonstop...

I realize how popular this server is (it totally took away the popularity of my rails, haha T_T) but if it really takes off, and more people show up more often, I will definitely upgrade to a much better and more expensive server that can handle pings from all over the world... until then ill try my best to keep it all up n runnin, and ill be changin the rotation out atleast twice a month, so... anyway, frag on...

^RUD

If you try to connect to an UT server with autodownload=ON, then the mod will be downloaded/run automagically.

nice thc-x i got it now! hey who ever runs this server i play in a clan in 4.0 maybe we could make some changes for ur server to make it more playble let me know if u want me to help ya out i run 2 servers a public and a private i could help ya out :P

It would be good if the UT server got more popular, I really like that mod but it seems nobody plays it, and when you do get someone, they'll just spawncamp, because they can, we need more people!

My suggestion is to have a little tournament every friday, or something like that.
also, The map thats based on Complex from The goldeneye game on N64, has a few missing textures, and also, it really doesnt seem fun on UT, meanwhile Runtfest seems great on UT. :)

lovely..!!! I like ur idea dude, I use to play UT often and I know about some current players, so I think they agree with this idea.
so plz rudcrustage could u do this?? plz plz ;D

If there's anything i can do to help... (Make maps.. (That'll have to wait, need to get it working on Ubuntu.) or make graphics.)

...Ill happily help.

The map arena1 was made by my friend and clan member he is on ts2 with me right now shadow dragon we r both currently mapping for urban terror 4.0 not dev but third party so i can maybe get the rights to some old maps and remake them for this just let me know if u want any help

P.S plz allow all votes on ur ut server i would luv to play team survivor there is no spawn camping and it is way more fun also y the 8 minute time limit  atleast set to 50 frags 20 minute time limit

Ah yes, the little 7 min timer (Yes, it seems to be 7, not 8) It would be nicwe to lengthen to 15 mins.

Also It's currently planned by me and a friend (Limex) To be making a UT server for 2 maps - Runtfest, and reqkitchen.

WHOA! ur a genius sausage! nice idea;)

only 2 maps not very exciting but w\e I think if u went with some old maps from this site http://urbandepot.koroded.net/ (ftp://http://urbandepot.koroded.net/)
u could draw in some new players also try the gosh darn classic maps like abbey and uptown, turnpike and casa, woot :P those maps r y urban terror is still alive 8 years after it's release in 1999 u Forgot docks how do u forget docks? lol man

Thanks RAAM. :)

JohnBlaze, I had never played UT until i wen into Rud's server, thanks rud!
But my idea's are to draw more in, and i wish i knew of more maps for UT, In fact, when i get GTKRadiant working on my system, Ill learn to map for UT (I mean, by being able to make Doors, ladders, Glass, all the stuff that's not in quake 3 Arena or OpenArena.

Also, maybe if You were to get a site up 'n' Running for your UT Server, it would be good to advertise Tournaments on it, and also get people to comment on what map's are wanted and what aren't, by having either your own forum, or maybe just use a little shoutbox on it.

Just suggestions. ;)

we have a website but my servers are for urban terror 4.0 but check out our website http://lordkingboofoo.com/ (http://lordkingboofoo.com/) that is me doing some jumps on uptown on the main site :P

Hey rudd man u got a flawed version of this game ur version has the laggy models they all ways warp and stuff from any type of distance i suggest getting urt 2.6 here http://www.quakeunity.com/dls/c5019a30807cf6d9e34b854f241fcbf7/?lid=1240 (http://www.quakeunity.com/dls/c5019a30807cf6d9e34b854f241fcbf7/?lid=1240) with no nerfed down guns and update ur server plz ur version has the worst model warping ever plz fix this

I just got it to work perfectly on my rig, just install the game to w\e u want then locate the q3ut2 folder and move the whole thing to C:\documentsandsettings\username\applicationfiles\openarena that is wut it is on windows XP i don't know wut it is on other OS's and there is no model warping and the guns still hurt alot :P Then just simply select it from the mods menu XD! easy peasy lemon squeazy




o(X_X)o<-----headshot ya later

yeah maps are cool... i change out rotation all the time... tournament sounds cool too, but i have no idea how to even handle this... i just got insanely busy all of a sudden so if anyone else has ideas on how to do it im up for it...

and there are two reasons the timelimits short, one is that the games of slaughter are meant to be fast paced fragfests, kill as much as possible as fast as possible... the other reason is that the servers not always full of people, so it would be boring for it to be stuck on a larger map with less people, theyd all end up leaving if not for a fresh location after such bs.

lets see, somethin about warping models? ive never heard of that problem, so iono about updatin...

and yeah i prolly should get a site with forums and all that, but yeah, again, ive been gone all week just now, so it might take some time...For now it's all just for fun anyway, even the clan that i got together, The Regulars, is just for kicks... but we play the games of slaughter religiously : P

Okay, heres my opinion.
No change to the Version of UT, this will make many people pissed off that they have to download all over again, and people with slow speeds will probably just turn around and say 'Fuck this.'

Also, for the tournament thing...  Does UT Have a FreeForAll Gamemode? Because then It'd be easier to have a tournament... you cant exactly say And the red team wins! that could be like, 7 people on Red team and 4 on blue, So you want it Free For All.

Also, Last night i noticed there were Three 'Scarab' Bots on, But they've only been on once...   How comes they were on last night?It'd be cooler if they're always on, and theyre slightly harder, because theyre pathetically easy at the moment..

      Thanks.

theres a couple of admins who will add a bot or two for the sake of the server not being at 0, so someone will join and entertain themselves with bots until more come. and iono about ffa tho o_O maybe instead of a tourney, just have a game night for terror, i tried to have somethin similiar set up for rails, each tuesday is jujusday, rails reunion... but yeah, that kinda fell through.

Okay, screw tourney's, there's no prize for winning anyways.

Umm... Well, Me and Limex Are making 2 UT Servers

Microsnipers - Reqkitchen and runtfest maps only :D
Normal - Like yours.

Yes.

Thanks theBeast, But i already found out. :D

Look, yes it has ffa, and about the warpy models it was a bad compile of the game code a patch was released like 2 days later  now  if u need to know sever cvars go to this website http://www.urbanterror.net/urt_manual/server.htm (http://www.urbanterror.net/urt_manual/server.htm) it has all the info u need for ur ut server and so on but iam interested in joining ur regular clan I can deffinitly pwn some nubs for you guys :P if u want if not no biggy but let me know man also i could help u out with the setup of this server


P.S That manual is for 3.0-3.7 so some of the newer cvars might not be compiled into ur version but do not fret all the cvars that r not there yet will only say 'unknown command' so no worries and remember this, and i quote a very old and great player "there is no bullshit in URT" :P

Wrong ffa tournaments never work out in urt trust me on this guys, at the very least play ctf THE BEST MODE FOR URBAN TERROR HAS ALWAY BEEN TEAM SURVIVOR, most evened out spawns and also there is no random spawns like in free for all and it is ur team vs the other team urban terror IS A TEAM GAME do not ever forget that also u guys need to learn about this game i have played quite a bit over the last week and no one medic's me ffs U CAN HEAL UR TEAMMATES IN URBAN TERROR lets try it out ppl holy crap man iam getting tired of not getting meded up i always carry a medkit i can heal u and u can heal me u plz try it out just use ur bandage key while stand next to someone his health will be displayed in the lower right corner of the screen DUh 4vs7 just even up the teams which ever team is pwning gets one less player! sry but this post about free for all is very ignorant in the ways of URT it was made for team play in 1999 when it first came out and is still based soley on team play if u got new urban terror check out the serves if u join up on a free for all game  every player is a noob they can't bandage or even switch guns, plz step it up play team survivor test ur medal see were u stand against another player it is so fun

1, Sorry, But that was what i thought may work.

2, Well, I havent had the oppertunity to play Team Survivor, Okay?

3, I know, but it's alot of Hassle when theyre obviously being shot, it just gives 'em a free kill if i were to go and run out there and help him, and if they arent being shot at, they can heal themselves.

4, I WAS NOT TRYING TO BE IGNORANT, In fact, I hadn't even played FFA, It Was just portraying my opinion to see what others thought, and by obvious standards, you thought that was a bad idea. Please, Just be more polite in life.

5, Now look who's being ignorant. Calling people noobs, and making them hate you, is not the way to go. We all gotta start somewhere, and even you were a noob once upon a time, So Stop being Such a hypocritical Fuckwit and let them learn the game.

Oh, and please use something like paragraphs or at least more punctuation, It was hard to read that block of letters...

whatmadeyouthinkitwashardtoread?

LOL - Fine, I give up.
