OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

Finally got around to getting my Cube booting back into OS9 properly. Went right to UT99 and started playing it some. whaa I never realized how much I miss it. The raw in your face graphics, the non newbified gameplay, and the classic RIPPER!!

Whos up for a UT99 weekend or something? We need to get back to our roots...throw away the vehicle combat and quake 3 weapons and rip into a fellow MAer with a 6 pack salvo of rocket love!! big_smile

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

I'm about to PSU wiring, then I can "push the button, Max!" smile and do OS & software.

It's been a LOOONG time, but maybe it's like riding a bike.

Maybe.

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

Only took me about 2 mins to remember all my controls and deal some nice pwnage over a lil 2 comp LAN I had. It is like a bike, you never forget how to reach out and frag someone. I even remembered all my old tricks I used to do when flag running. Like my old spinaround trick on Face.

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

Well if the heat tapers off maybe i'll host up a weekend server for a few hours one of these weekends coming up. Think I can swing at least a 6 on 6 or so. Used to host that for Recon and it worked fine for everyone but the 56kers.

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

Not if i'm on the other team tongue. I know all zee hiding spots.

Oh i'll try to throw in some of the 3rd party maps we used to play but bots n such will be stock unless you'd like some classic MAer names added. I did have issues hosting over LAN recently with that blasted DE file. Didn't really have it installed, it was in my cache. Which pack update had that sucker again?

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

I'd love to play, I'll have to find my pc version of UT though, and then figure out how to not make the game go a mile a minute.
Oh, and I expect to see "Og" there.

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

If you have to, type /preferences in the console then go into the graphics settings direct. Sometimes you can set the options better so it keeps the fps in sync.

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

I'm gonna try to catch some weather reports and such then see about picking a weekend to do this. If the cooldown out here continues, I could get this up and running sooner. Otherwise it would just be constant disconnects as the heat messes with the lines in the area.

Maybe i'll set up a trial run either this weekend or next weekend to get the settings right. Been a long time since i've messed with it. Can't even remember how mapvote/etc all worked.

Oh that's easy, you see, people would vote for a map, then they would play that map.
Glad I could help wink

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

I don't think I've played any other FPS than UT99. I guess I played a little Halo...
God, what a throwback.

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

Nah there was more server based stuff to do in regards to MV that I vaguely remember. Either that or i'm remembering my combo setup with MV and Xmaps.

Shoot I just remembered I gotta get into my new router and open ports and such. Ugg...maybe i'll just hook my old router up, my new one is a mess of stuff to set.

MacMan824 is totally down for some nostalgic fragging.

Don't forget to put smurf in the rotation!

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

UT3 should come with UT99 packaged, no?  I mean, if the lawsuit is still going they could use the downtime to bring UT99 to running on vista and OS X

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

No. That's what the Unreal Anthology is for.

But sure. Altho UT probably runs fine on Vista already, "they" will surely spend mucho dinero & dev time to bring it to OSX and make no money thereby... because they wuv you. tongue

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

Wow, I thought this forum was dissolved long ago! Is there a thread with server info somewhere?

Re: OMG I MISS THE RIPPER!!

Nothing current, AFAIK. If there were, NC could just suggest an event. I s'pose you could check the old [MA] site and poke around.

MA3 was running UT2004 as well as Halo, but a few days ago Levi let me know it's down pending new DSL connections. He's checking on the status of that, but for now, it's down.

If he wanted, I suppose he could throw UT '99 on it, and H2V ded server for all of that, unless bandwidth is lacking on the new setup. We're not likely to get more than two different games running at once.

(And maybe it's heretical, but there are things I miss more than the Ripper. Fun enough, but on maps like Face I chucked it as soon as I could get sumfin better.

...not that I won't enjoy taking NC's head clean off. twisted).
