UTPG OS X being tested...
Ryan has let us reveal that beta testing for UTPG has begun for OS X.
You can read more here.
I usually post to the ut2kn forums (Hi Brainiac, Docb, et al), but it's more on-topic here

Re: UTPG OS X being tested...
I've been waiting so so long for this, along with a few other people..
Good to know it is almost done.

Re: UTPG OS X being tested...
just checking...
if I downloaded my version of utx over a year and a half ago, would that still be the latest "full" version thats out?

Yup. The Preview 3 version is still the only public version so far but looks like UTPG is on the way.

Re: UTPG OS X being tested...
Does anyone know if this update is going to re-enable music?
Something I've missed for a long time since the OS X beta.
Also...if this is sucessful enough, could this patch be reworked to work with Deus Ex? That game uses the same engine as UT. How I long for a OS X Deus Ex...

From what I understand, Ryan Gordon basically did this update from the ground up, so I'm assuming it's not going to have the same problems as preview 3 did. (tho, it may have it's own completely different problems)

Re: UTPG OS X being tested...
Besides how good glide mode looked in OS 9, the music is the #1 thing I've missed.
I can pass most of the other problems with the current beta 3 aside if I just had the music.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

Big thanks to Ryan for keeping up the work!

Re: UTPG OS X being tested...
Music in UT isn't noob, I just like some ambient music inbween my shockrifle explosions and gib splatter noises.
Plus I actually love some of it.

Exactly. There should be so many shock rifle explosions that there's no time for music.

And some of us are redeemer wh***s who teleport away from the seemingly suicidal explosion at the last minute. *grin* ^_^ Of course, it's always good to balance that out with a sniper rifle and telefragging... it really depends on the map. On some maps, I'm pure flak wh***.

Oh, and we can't forget double enforcer fun... I *love* headshots from far away with them.

Re: UTPG OS X being tested...
Only sniper and ripper do headshot damage.
Ah.. true.. (it's been too long since I've played) but they're still fun.

Re: UTPG OS X being tested...
WOOOHOOO!!!
I came in here for nostalgia's sake, and what do I find? News that UT is once again on it's way to being ported to os X!! I can say that if this happens I will once again be playing SOME form of UT.
[MA]T._Axeman{ds} says: "Come get some!"
Anyhoo - my current machine is the same one I was playing UT on with all'yall 3 years ago 
, so theres no way in hell it will run 'o3 or '04, which is unfortunate, as I found '04 quite fun on the few LAN events I was able to play it at.
So... how many people do you suspect we could get together to play utpg and ut99 with once this update ships?
