Crispy™ Codex UT Slaughterfest (CUTS) 2 Signup Thread

[Tigranes]

I'll try to face the bots tonight or tomorrow and let you know exactly how useless I am.

 

[Tadek Boruta]

Played 2 matches a sec ago. Deck and Codex, won two of them but barely (3-4 frag lead). I'm rusty :/ Haven't played this in like 11 years.

Edit: On what difficulty are those bots set ?

 

[Zed]

I can be a stand-in if needed, and if I'm online. Sensuki can reach me in that case.

Likely won't be playing and I'll be unable to get on Steam

Here's a setup guide kinda thing.

This video doubles down on some of the info below and has a few general tips / some nice information



Use a Custom Renderer

A custom renderer will look better and will probably have better input & rendering performance​

I recommend this one (DX10): http://www.kentie.net/article/d3d10drv/​

But there's also an OpenGL and DX11 one as well (both available here): http://www.cwdohnal.com/utglr/​

copy paste those into the UT\system\ folder (since they're in folders in the rar, you'll have to extract them from the folder to the system folder).

To select the renderer go to Preferences, Video and click the change button, tick the unsupported renderers box and select your renderer.​

If you're using OpenGL, make sure that ZRangeHack is set to false in the renderer settings.​

Make sure you're playing at your LCD's native resolution (for me that's 1920x1080)

Make sure you have VSync disabled

UT will likely ignore the setting in your video card drivers, you can turn it off in the DX10 renderer settings, if you're using that renderer (recommended)​

Set your FPS limit to something like 100, 120 or 125

You do this either in the config, or in the DX10 renderer settings. You want at least 100 because the server updates 100 times per second. Any more is just for general smoothness. My preference is 125, because my refresh rate is 120 and it gives less screen tearing than 120.
​

Set your Field of View (FOV) to somewhere between 100 and 120

90 isn't enough for widescreen and the gun model isn't fully shown. Anything between 100-120 is good. I prefer 120, although it means people are harder to hit because their models are smaller, but I can see more of the screen. At 100, people will be larger on the screen (and thus easier to hit) but you might miss people near you sometimes when looking around.

You set the FOV in the \system\User.ini, just Control+F in wordpad and set the FOV commands to your desired value.​

 

[HentaiWriter]

Ok, that's a good suggestion.

Ninja Destroyer Sulaco HentaiWriter How experienced are you guys at UT? Maybe have a crack at the bots on the server and let me know how you perform over 2-3 matches.

I had 4 matches. Came second in the first 3, and won in the fourth.

I played UT pretty much religiously during high school, but I'm horrible against bots primarily because I rely a lot on reading enemy movements (i.e. human movement patterns), so I can try doing this, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna score pretty bad against the bots, haha.

I was wondering too, is 8am the start of the actual matches, or the start of warmups?

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

Ninja Destroyer - Please give me your timezone

Same as Roxor and Boruta - CEST - 5pm Saturday, the 27th

I want to free croatian war hero hiver to bring incline into GOT thread.

 

[DraQ]

Is there any renderer with full support of the engine's features that tries to replicate the way unlit translucent surfaces worked in software U1?

Try firing U1 ASMD altfire in software and any of the accelerated modes to see what I mean.
In software it will be brilliant ball of lightning, in any of the accelerated modes it will look somewhat muted and dim.

 

[Transfiguring Roar]

Thanks all, I'll update everything when I have time.

Sounds like it's going to be a fragfest!

Start of the matches. You're 17 hours behind sensuki. That's the best we can do to accommodate you.

Oh, no worries at all! I might not be there for the warm up stuff but I'll definitely be there for the games :D

As far as playing on the server to test out my skills;

1st game - 16/20 with 10 kill streak on that factory map
2nd game - 11/35 on second game on that tower mountain map, actually got more like 20 kills, but probably 9 "suicides" getting spawn camped and blown off the castle lol
3rd game - 29/33 on third game on the castle/quake looking map

as a note i'm a lot more familiar with CTF maps than I am DM, we're playing CTF for this right or am I dumb and read wrong?

 

[Tigranes]

Set up my game. What's the server that I can test?

 

[Ulminati]

Imma test recording a demo tonight so we won't have any issues with it saturday. Are you guys pumped? I am pumped.

 

[laclongquan]

Where can we start the betting?

 

[Ulminati]

Not until DU settles the betting from the previous round. You don't even know how many fists you have to bet

It's not even certain he'll allow betting for this round.

 

[Sensuki]

You could always Sawyerize the betting - put % of brofist caps on and stuff like that



This sucks, sounds like it's gonna be a sick few games, but I really do enjoy live Death Metal ...

 

[Transfiguring Roar]

I've been trying against the bots and my frags ranges from 10 to 20.

That's not bad at all! And thanks for providing your timezone.

Good stuff, champ!

Another decent player!

Yes, the matches are CTF.

Bummer. Was looking forward to another lesson!

Edit: On what difficulty are those bots set ?

Well that's outstanding! Not sure if it's 1 under Godlike or 2 under as the setting in the console is done by numbers - they're on difficulty 6. I think the difficulty rating is 0-7, but I'm not 100% certain.

I can be a stand-in if needed, and if I'm online. Sensuki can reach me in that case.

You're in, bro! Thanks for filling in. Let us know what your timezone is and I'll add it all to the 'match post'.

 

[Sensuki]

It felt like Masterful difficulty to me when I played, yeah. I play on Inhuman when I muck around (and sometimes Godlike) and it was a lot easier than that.

The higher you go up, the better the bots get at avoiding your crosshair, dodging your projectiles and improved reactions & stuff. It's very different from playing against people.

Don't forget to change your team color in Options > Player Setup in UT.

We are using version 451. If you don't have it, patch link is on the left side: http://www.utpg.org/

Please tell me if you don't have the server details and/or you haven't tested out the server yet. If you have any poblems with the server let us know.

And don't forget, we'll be having warm-up rounds before the CTF matches.

Thanks.

 

[Transfiguring Roar]

Please note: I have no indication of Zed's or Ninja Destroyer's skill level, and I've balanced the teams as best I can, but I'm no Sawyer!

 

[Sensuki]

Zed was a bit rusty in the games the other day with Boruta (worse than Boruta), but we'll see. I believe in you Zed !

 

[Transfiguring Roar]

Where can we start the betting?

Right here, my friend, step right up, place a bet! Double or nothing!

It's titty time! Now it's double titty time! Now it's TRIPLE titty time!!

Hory shit, plenty of good players this time. This is gonna be hard work. I find when the matches are intense I am so focused on the screen that my whole body tenses up.
