Basic Description:
Yes, it's an Unreal Tournament 99 server in 2018. Most of
us run Game Of The Year (GOTY) edition of UT99 as we use some of the GOTY
weapons.
The style is basically freestyle. Meaning to play any way
you like. It's a low gravity fast moving server with some powerful
weapons. Most of the maps are Death Match (over 500 of them), but we
have another 300+ Jail Break, Domination, and Capture the Flag maps available
with the MapVote. Below are brief descriptions of just about everything,
plus lists of all the maps on the server.
There are 4 Mods that we play. 3 team Mods, and
Deathmatch.
Death Match: The basic kind of game, so I don't think it needs
a description. 30 frags wins.
Capture the Flag: A well known team game. Capture the
other team's flag, and return it to your flag. 5 captures wins the game.
Domination: Not as well known as the above Mods. In this
team game you try to keep control points your team color. There are
normally 3 or 4 control points. The longer you keep them your color, the more
points your team gets. 250 points wins.
Jailbreak: The least well known team Mod we play.
In this mod, if you die, you go to jail. To get released someone on your
team has to hit the release switch. There is an arrow in your HUD to
direct you to the switch. Every once in a while if there is at least 1
person in both jails, an arena battle will happen. The winner of the
battle goes free. Your team is captured when everyone is in jail. 5
captures wins.
This is the important part, since we have some fun ones.
Most of our maps have all the weapons. But we have some maps that only
have the <lol> sniper rifle.

Sniper
rifle: You spawn with this and 50 rounds. Like the original one, but
it shoots faster. Makes a fair amount of noise, and people can see
the flash and shells. Shares ammo with the Bin Slayer rifle.
This one doesn't spawn in any maps.
Ammo pickup:

still hear it when close by. It's very hard for people to see
where the shots are coming from.

corners, and through walls, floors, and ceilings. Primary fire
shoots 7 rockets.

where the fire is coming from.

source.

You've seen the redeemer, now meet the big brother! This one is a nuke
gun. Secondary fire makes the missile blow up before it hits something.

Turret:
A GOTY weapon. The pickup location cycles between this and the Gravity
Ball. Launch it in an area with enough room, and you get an
automated turret that shoots at people. Shoots energy balls or rockets,
switch with the command 'turretchangeweapon'.
Ammo pickup: 1
Max
ammo: 10 |
 |
Gravity
Ball: A GOTY weapon. The pickup location cycles between this
and the Turret. Throw it and run! Everything near it gets sucked in.
Ammo pickup: 1
Max
ammo: 1 |
Teleporter: You spawn with one of these. Use it,
use it often. It helps you get around faster. You can also telefrag with
it.
Grappling Hook: A GOTY item. It's not an inventory
item, so you can use it while shooting. You can use it to hang around. You
need to bind the commands 'hook' and 'hookup' for it to work. Instructions
are here.
Below are lists of the maps we use. I can't host
the actual files, since there are around 8 Gigs.
Deathmatch Maps
CTF Maps
Domination Maps
Jailbreak Maps
Want to play the maps with the weapons without getting killed
so much? The following instructions will let you (mostly) set up your
system so you can play a practice session with the weapons. Even if you
don't, you should run CacheCleaner
at least every 30 days to keep the files on your system.
You will need to do a few simple things before you can begin.
-
Play the server so that the weapons are downloaded
-
Run Cachcleaner
so that the files are written into your system.
-
Install StuffSwapper
-
Setup StuffSwapper as below, and according
to the picture.
Setting up Stuffswapper is covered in a post by Colonel Angus on
the <lol>
forums. The basics of that is run StuffImporter.exe, and add the
following mods with Import->Import from mod. The mods are ApplesRebelMac.u,
BinSlayer.u, G11_Assault.u, GhandiWeapons.u, GhandiWeapsPA.u, lolSniperRifle2.u,
and PunkysFlightRing.u. Then run UT, and go to StuffSwapper in the mods
menu and setup as per the jpg.
Then you will have to set the airspeed to 55% and the gamespeed
to 155%. Add mutators for low gravity, StuffSwapper, and
ChaosUT. Oh oh, you don't have ChaosUT? Remember above I said most
of us run the GOTY version of UT? Well, it includes ChaosUT, which is what
gives the server the grapple hook, gravity ball, and turrets. Your best bet is
to buy, beg, borrow or steal a GOTY edition (it's on the 2nd CD). If you
install any old version of ChaosUT, you'll get a version mismatch when you play
on the <lol> server. Or, you can install the ChaosUT umod.
