while browsing through a thread from last week from another board I stumbled upon this little baby here. I have not tested it out myself yet but it seems to be doing a wagonload good things!

(...)DOH!(...)

nice altho the feign death thing is shit cos feigning death is an important part of UT (and guardia/overlord :P)
 
rich whats close to hacking ? having more FPS ?
as for the text-edit things, you could as well search for the ini in UT folder and edit it permanently yourself. :P
 
AFAIK UT2003 will have server set restrictions on what you can disable etc. So this kind of thing wont be possible for tournaments and leagues, although I would expect restrictions on public servers will be pretty lax.

They aren't hacks or cheats, but they do give those that use them an unfair advantage, which is why they will be restricted in UT2003.
 
just tried it, but fs it made my UT ugly!!!

i dont want altered map textures / brightness, just the other things. what do i have to change?
 
Custom.ini - Edited by Tsunami

I've created my own ini file with all the changes I want cos I dont need some of em.
this .ini file includes:
  • removed shaking
  • edited deathmessages (upper left corner text) to be "<killer> ----- <WEAPON> ------ <killed>"
  • Pickup-messages redesigned to: +<weapon>+ or +20 health (medbox), +5 health (vial), +100 health (keg). depends on what you pickup. or +++BELT+++, +JumpBoots+,
  • removed bullet-ejecting as I play with weaponhand hidden and it'd suck bigtime.
  • removed teleporter and spawn-in animations by 2d-sprites.
  • removed corpses cos my PC cant stand too many of em.
  • improved g00-texture
  • stopped rotation of shockbeam and rocket as well as some other minor tweaks for FPS.

- place it in your UT/system folder
- type "exec custom.ini" after booting UT for the changes to take effect.

i'd more likely say its a shame the ppl rather have too much money than play good. :p:
 
Well the ability to tweak default values seems to allow for many benifits that are not fps related.

the changes there arent for "Looking down somewhere" I think. the shell ejecting and rotating n stuff is all for infight.
 
the extra fps things are fair enuff, eg the bullet casings gone - they are pointless. however, removing dead bodies straight away is bordering on dodgy, esp for assault. IMO anyway

the coloured teamsay and editing of kill msgs is a nice touch though :)

oh and about tweaking configs - look at Q3, if you really wanna be competitive you have to use things like r_picmip 5 or higher (basically gets rid of all textures so they only appear as 1 colour) and stuff like having a single model for enemies - normally the largest/loudest model you can find ;)
