Midnight Fragfest

New version of VCTFRPG is now live on the server.

Bug fixes:

• Monster summoning is no longer tied to the summoning charms, the server now keeps track of all summoned monsters. Attempting to summon a new monster will immediately kill all monsters currently out.
• Freezing guns now work properly, slowing you down to 1/3 your movement speed.
• Resetting points now gives the correct experience needed for the next level
• Monsters in invasion now properly give experience

New Features:

• Experience system revamped: bonus experience is now given. If you kill someone 100 levels or more above you your experience is doubled. If you kill someone over twice your level, your experience is tripled.
• Now requires significantly more experience per level to make leveling up somewhat harder at higher levels. This is somewhat offset by the new bonus system, allowing lower level players to catch up faster.
• Bots now automatically scale level while the game is in session, and will never be more than 25 levels different from the lowest level player. (possible change to this soon, potentially have bot levels decided by the average level of the opposing team)
• Point resets no longer remove 5% of your levels, they are essentially free BUT they do reset your experience above the current level to 0 still
• New game mode: king of the hill, attempt to stay within the “capture zone” longest during the match while keeping other players out. Plays on any deathmatch map.
• Santa hats, candy cane weaponlockers, capture the tree, presents, and wreaths and trees in onslaught turned on for Christmas.
• spawn protection time raised to alleviate spawn camping

Damned if I remember which are the ones I just uploaded, but here’s the new maplist (listed at bottom due to length).

More game modes are available now: deathmatch, mutant, invasion, and last man standing.

I also disabled anti-tcc for the time being, it was causing immense lag and server crashes, so if you see any botters don’t hesitate to email me directly to ban their asses!

Check the upper right of the screen. The new button up there will launch a stats page for the custom RPG server. Needs a few customizations still. (rpg specific stuff, awards, etc..) but all in all i like it better than the custom one i was writing…it’s got more details).

Now that I’ve re-launched my ut2004 server after being down nearly 3 years, I’ve added some forums and done a complete overhaul of the website. You should see a link to the new forums on the upper right hand side of the page, once it’s complete you’ll also see server statistics up there as well.

For now here’s the UT2004 Stat’s page for the server.
