Following much rumblings amongst the fraternity here ;) It has been decided that we should consider an contest, a tournament.

The original Unreal Tournament remains one of the most influential first person shooters around. It's fast and its furious.

So Im proposing to organise a tournament... UK vs US.

A simple shakedown.. with some fun ;)

1) 1 vs 1 = A table of players.. fighting one on one .. UK vs US.. down to a final.. to determine who is the best.

Then..

2) Team deathmatch and team Capture the flag.. UK vs US.. fighting to the death and then fighting for the flags.

Then..

3) An open free for all deathmatch set of rounds.. who is the fragmaster??!

and last..

4) A single match of last man standing. To determine who is the UT kings.. and where they live.

Sign up here.. and we can make plans :D

Yes, well at least you've improved your "Stop, Fire, Reload, March" tactics since then....

But feel free to use those tactics in the game.. We'll be sure to do the same

Listen, We've been doing Stop, Fire, Reload, March for hundreds of years before you even had a flag. That's the trouble isn't it? You let your children have a bit of space, a place of their own and suddenly the old ways arn't good enough for them and they think they know it all, Wasn't it always thus? Still, you shall learn my son, you shall learn.

Speaking of languages, let me give you a lesson in Latin.

necropolis

Etymology: Late Latin, city of the dead, from Greek nekropolis, from nekr- + -polis -polis

This is what it’s going to be like when we totally annihilate your asses

Btw, how are servers gonna be handled? Will we set a ship up in the Atlantic dead center between Wales and New York City so both sides are kind of even in connection terms?

Also, Souriat, do you have a bigger (read: clearer) pic of your avatar? I know someone who'd love it!

A list of maps would be useful, I only really play CTF so I am unfamiliar with some of the others. Maybe 'contestants' could agree the maps to play on?

The linked to map is a great capture the flag, I used to be addicted to it. See what you guys think, it quite large and as essentially a two level setup. There are two primary routes to reach each base to try and capture the enemies flag, through an extremely direct route, which stretches down long corridors and a less direct but more challenging covert underground route.

Try it out and see if you think it's a worthy map.

and server....! We need to have somebody (maybe even an impartial non-player) organize the tournament ang keep stats.. Shorty offered to host the server, but his connection is only 256K Up, and somehow I don't trust a slimy brit to host it - he'll probably figure out a way to cheat... We need a neutral nation to host - like canada perhaps... Maybe I'll see what I can dig up...

There is a problem with this, you have to remember that all of us from this side of the pond have to add at least +5 hours to your time, in people like cyrixinstead's +6, so it would have to be early afternoon at the latest.

Yes, I agree with bothered, alot of us work through the week. I think if we say next Saturday or Sunday, that gives everyone plenty of time to dig out their UT disk's from the bottom of the cupboard.

Guys!! I just realised that if we play CTF on UT the Yanks don't stand a chance .

My theory:

In the UK there is a place known as Liverpool. The people there are very good at 'borrowing things' should we say. So, they will have no trouble nicking the Yankee flag. Necro and his mate are from Liverpool, therefore we have the perfect offensive members for the team. Ergo the Brits win!! ;D

(Sorry Necro, had to get you, we've taken the p!ss out of Shorty & bothered so far. I'm from Stoke for the record so I really can't talk!!)

here's an update of sorts. prime and I talked about this a couple days ago, I'm now uploading the maps and textures in one large 80MB file up to addaboy.com, prime will then grab that zip file and stick it on the short-media server, it's got a fatter pipe, what can I say, blame genetics. I'm sure you all know this, but unzip and put the maps files in your maps folder and the .utx files in your textures folder.

Now, the last time we tried this it never happened because no one said, "this is the time and place" so I'm going to do just that right now.

Drumroll please: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first Brits vs. Yanks UT Grudgematch will be held on Sunday June 29, 2003 at Noon EST, meaning 1600 UTC (or GMT) and for the brits that translates to 1700 hours. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the time, the place will be addaboy.jetstreamhosting.com which you can visit and play on any time. If you have any problems with maps not downloading properly, I will put a link to that zip file on addaboy.com shortly, and like I said, Prime will also have them available for download here soon.

Please no grousing about "I can't make it at that time, change it" etc.... If we don't set a time, it will never happen. It's on Sunday, make the time to be there. If you have a wedding to go to, tell em you can't make it!

Team UK: Shorty, Spinner, Trinity, Necropolis_UK, bothered, -animal-, Souriat, CyrixInstead, Red Dawn, Jimborae, Coaster, and Raven.

Team USA: primesuspect, kanezfan, leish85, thrax, T-BirD, Blackhawk, shwaip, aZnWanksta, Khaos, TheSmJ, diabx0r, MikeP928, and CaffeineMe.

So, I guess I'll organize the damned thing.

Now and again mine does that. I have a MS Gampad pro. It works like a dream but very rarly it will do the same thing, I can move around in the game with the arrow keys but not the gamepad. ( I only use the game pad for the arrow keys and left trigger for jump, everything else is on the mouse) I press the show desktop key the click gaming options which brings up the gamepad properties, I just click OK then close it and return to the game, the pad works after that.

I think that game only proves I need more practice. I literally pasted the addaboy link and the game loaded up for the first time in almost a year, and then all of a sudden I was getting pounded on by Shorty and Trin'. I tell ya, it was like a splash of cold water.

Bothered just run yourself through the single player tournaments, that should help tone your skills. I on the other hand need to just play as much as I can till Sunday, to make sure I am of some use to the UK team.

Also, we're talking the Sunday after next right? I ask that because I get the feeling some folk might have mis-read the posted date by accident. I certainly did at first.

5 x Team Deathmatch

3 x Assault

5 x Free for all deathmatch

I've spent 7-12 hrs for the last 4-5 days downloading maps and unzippin them --breakin then down-maps-textures-sounds--music- etc and uploadin them on the server. Also as I said in prev post there will be a map vote as soon as the server techs set it up. I sent it to them a couple of days ago. It's the only way to get it on there--them settin it up--.They should have it on there for the tourny for you guys. Happy Fraggin! Hawk

Sorry for the double post --but I wanted to tell you all that I put a list of all the maps on the server and links to map DL site and also link to Map Manager program that will load them into your game for you after you DL them to a file on your pc. It's on addaboys in gaming section. Just show the map manager where the map file is and it will read them and you highlight each and hit install --simple. Saves you having to unzip and break them down and load maps textures, sounds etc. Hawk

Early? 11am early?
Over here we've got up, emptied the buckets, Fed the chickens, Tended the goats, Had a breakfast, Read the papers, Had a game of UT, Cut the grass, Weeded the flower beds and then had a sit down by 11am,
Early? we made it late so you could all have a nice sleep and get ready. Don't want to make it too hard for ya!

But then again, I stay up till 5 AM.

That's alright we'll still find time to fit one in, probably during some of the games. It will give you guys the chance to catch up.

just make sure you don't get any scone crumbs on your keyboards.. Wouldn't want you to have even more excuses when we scythe through your ranks.

Even with our keyboards handicap'd by crumpet crumbs, we'll still squash you like the U.S vermin you are. Only tomorrow will you learn the true meaning of pain, I'll shove my virtual sniper rifle so far up your virtual overweight backside, you'll feel it tickling at the back of your throat in the real world.

Prepare to be beaten like you've never been beat before. Prepare to be embarrassed like you've never been embarrassed before. Prepare to be... well you get the idea right. YA GONNA DIE!!!

Also, on a more serious note. Is someone going to be making a note of all the game statistics? so for example in death matches etc we can get a better idea of which teams players were doing better. :confused::p ??

Demo Recording / Playing

Here's how to record and play demos in UT:

DEMOREC [filename_without_extension]
records current game into file

STOPDEMO
stops recording current game

DEMOPLAY [filename_without_extension]
re-plays recorded demo named (filename in 1st person view of the player

DEMOPLAY [filename_without_extension]?3rdperson
re-plays recorded demo named [filename] in 3rd person view of all players or freecam view

Have to get set up so team captains tell me what map they want loaded. Until the server guys get the maopvote proggy workin :(. GG everyone. I wasn't very good because I was watchin the server to make sure it didn't go down. Plus no practice. I got e-mail this mornin to play. Oh well, No excuses. It was fun. Think I'm gonna get a server with someone else. :cool:

Definately fun, despite being ridiculously hectic at times ;) I mush prefer the larger, slower maps (aka, most of the ctf maps, hehe). I took a few demos, but the total zip is 18.5mb, and I don't think anyone wants to watch how *not* to play ut through my eyes, hehe.

Absolutely, now we know what the score is (if you excuse the pun), I think the games will start to get a lot better, as both teams will start to understand their opponent a bit better. i.e Their strengths and weaknesses.

ahem.. ahem... i DO believe that the US completely dominated in FFA and CTF....

So maybe we let the UK have one or two in Team DM and domination, but I was pretty sure domination was tied .......

Oh well, no matter, I was barely playing. I was drinking tea and eating crumpets and scones and casually moving the mouse once in a while.....
