So I'm not real keen on making requests, I know its hard to prioritize other people's ideas over you own, but the melee combo key sort of makes fists and the chainsaw pretty dang obsolete. Is there any chance you could add in a few melee weapons to help keep the slot relevant in late game? Maybe a weapon that has a wide swing arc that uses similar effects to kicking an enemy, only applied to a wider area?

Brutal Doom sort of made the chainsaw less powerful on its own by giving the fists considerably more power/usefulness, and I think that's kind of a shame. Would love to see some viable variety when it comes to melee combat.

I still absolutely love this mod though, you did pretty damn awesome with it. I'm currently rolling up random maps with OBLIGE to make something of a roguelike out of it, the expanded weapon and enemy lists makes it that much more exciting.

Thanks for your time!

Who said anything about relics?

Alright, the Raygun is RELEASED! Find it here for now:

Mediafire.com

We'll write up a news post and update the download link as soon as we can.

Three brothers in the middle of South Africa making a space janitor simulator in ten days? I'd say that's about as "indie" as you can get. :P

The actual parties involved in the incident are perfectly happy moving past it.

Interesting how someone looking at it from the outside isn't.

Also, your actions are not without consequence.

Moddb.com

Specifically note this part right here:

"Karma Spam
It has been brought to my attention that members are also spamming karma and continually down voting certain members / mods they dislike. That too is just as bad and will be dealt with appropiately. I will be investigating a few reports of this to ensure this practice stops as well."

This is exactly the kind of comment that made all of this much worse than it needed to be. Kindly refrain from doing it again.

This has puzzle game written all over it without even needing to be focused on it. Occasionally give a couple pieces of debris a specific place it has to be put and you have all you need for level designers.

Imagine a level where you have three or four caskets with a cause of death next to them and its you job to sort out the the peices of the burn victim from the exploded man and the chainsaw accident. :P

Also, cleaning up bloody footprints on the ceiling is already a puzzle to solve as is. :P

Mop buckets and pretty much everything else can be tossed into the furnace. Just open it with your empty hands and give the objects some time to burn down.

Also, stacking buckets is legitimately pro mode. I keep getting bucket explosions when I try.

Don't really see how he's complaining here. There ARE some texture problems and its nice to point them out to the developers so they can fix it. ;)

Try stacking boxes and bins and jumping on them. ;)

Twisting the Chaff Grenade primes it, using melee while primed will cause it to explode on contact.

Is there any mutator enabled that might change how bots would prioritize navigating the map? Something like items being spawned in at random places or the like?

I have not noticed this behavior yet, though I run Loadout rather than swap. Could you check to see if they do the same thing when running Loadout rather than Swap? There may be something up with weapon spawns that could potentially be interfering with priorities. I'm not really sure at this point.

Your claim that he removed karma physics on grenades being for personal choice is way off base. No one would think it would be better to have less realistic physics for the game, but if that means unreliable net replication, it seems like a pretty obvious decision to go for a far more stable solution.

While I admit the grenade physics aren't as nice now, I can't fathom how this could negatively affect anyone's actual game play experience in any significant capacity. If it does for you, than you so far would be the only one to mention something about it.

The only changes that could have any solid argument for personal preference would be the balance changes, and so far it seems to be pretty much agreed that they are making for a better game by taking weapons from the extreme ends of the balance spectrum and turning them into weapons that are more fit to see regular play.

Haha, I didn't even realize people were looking forward to it so much, kinda slipped my mind when I wrote up the announcement.

Azarael kind enough to keep it updated quite frequently and tries to fix any bugs that do crop up in a timely manner.

Do you have the previous Weapon Drop + Recolors V10 installed before this? It may be required.

Not to worry, the file will be released here probably within the week unless something big crops up, which is fairly unlikely at this stage.

We're doing last minute beta testing and bug fixes at the moment, to try and avoid the shaky releases that tend to happen when trying to meet a deadline (though that still happened, this news post wasn't exactly supposed to get published just yet. Oops.).

Are you still having this issue? If so, make sure UT2004 is patched up to v3369 and all the official UT2004 bonus packs are installed.

As in 'soon' I mean probably some time this year. No information on weapon drop schedules is available at this time.

Joke? I should hope not. We made the MOA-C throwable by hand, for a reason. This reason is because we thought it'd make an exceplent club.

Tip: Arming an impact grenade and then hitting something with it is an awesome idea.

News post is awaiting authorization.

News update inbound!

We just released the first version of v10 last month. Why do people think this is a dead mod?

Oh man, I am happy to see there is at least one more mod for UT2004 being worked on. And a Stargate one at that!

Good luck guys, may your release not see any hangups!

Ensure UT2004 is patched up to version 3369 and you have the Mega Bonus Pack installed.

No information is available on Weapon Drop schedules at this time.

Yes, the crash from TargetedHurtRadius should be resolved in this version. Let us know if it still happens.

File is awaiting authorization, we had some hiccups but they should be resolved with the latest file.

Check later tonight, maybe tomorrow. Generally it doesn't take very long to get the files authorized.
