GlobalUnreal (a.k.a., NewNet)

[seriousnoob]

So what IS the larger project NN is part of? Stats system?

is preparing for release?is there any bug reports not closed?hope is stable now and we can have it on our servers too.we really need to get the lag to minimum from servers.

v0.7y:
- Fixed remaining issues with ComboGib (Except maybe grappling hook? It should be at least a tiny bit better. If not, I guess I'll have to recreate it within newnet.)
- Removed 0 ping weapon switch; too many issues with replication There may be some bugs hidden away with the old ping-dependent switching + newnet, but overall it seems to be more consistent.
- Mayyyyybe improved utstats accuracy? If not, I know what I need to do now.
- Re-added crouching headshots
- Added newnet double jump ability; toggleable by server admin *nods* @SAM; to enable it just set bDoubleJump=true; it should work better than the original double jump mod for ut99; set a really high maxJumps for the lulz!!

- Re-added crouching headshots HUH?????????????????????????????

[HuMPtY]

[RickJames]

The crouching hs is only for sa, though, right? (Just for clarification)

Ugh, the ping dependent weapon switch is terrible.. Game feels so sluggish now. 0 ping one had some bugs but I think it was better overall.

[KillEmAll]

^
I agree with noob

The weapon switch speed feels like it is back to original.

Is this intended?

[TimTim]

Main servers have been updated to v0.8a:
- Fixed being able to shoot *too* soon upon spawning
- Fixed entering portals at the same time
- Fixed translocator effect that would happen whenever you didn't actually translocate (e.g., into a teammate or something)
- Fixed dodging sideways through portals; not sure what Epic was thinking with their original code there o_O
- Added "MinDodgeClickTime" configurable via User.ini to combat autododges; default is 0.05 (50 milliseconds); this should fix autododges by people who somehow trigger a direction twice in a row too quickly, maybe even caused by some electrical interference with the keyboard input; to change it in-game enter something like "setmindodgeclicktime 0.1" into your console
- PlayerReplicationInfo.Ping should be more accurate; this should hopefully help with projectile prediction
- Fixed sniper rifle's bullets landing significantly above the crosshair; for some reason Epic coded the original sniper such that the bullets land further above the crosshair the more up or down you're aiming when you fire; the trace algorithm now matches the shock rifle, so aiming with the sniper rifle should be more intuitive (you get headshots by aiming directly at the head rather than below the neck)


*** Next update (v0.8b) will include the following ***
- Bots that work properly
- The ability to shoot/remove carcasses
- Finish fixing demos
- Automatic demorec at countdown + end demorec on redjack

Is this new version of nn forcing highperftoggle on?

I dislike that and wanna play with my old settings...

Are you able to set a commandline that players who dont wanna play with highperftoggle can deactivate the forcing?

i please for it!

[xHikaru!]

i had the same issue too, i get screen tearing with highperf is forced, i got used to play without

[Sonic|^]

Isn't highperftoggle an ace setting? Just go in a server and turn it off.

[Sauron]

Default dodging mechanism should be what UT has - you shouldn't have to change the setting to get back to what you had prior. i.e. just pugged and I couldn't dodge 75% of the time. This shouldn't be the case, as any newcomer will have yet another setting to change in NN vs everything else. Default = bypass new setting and use original in user.ini is what it should be.

There's no way you're tapping a movement key twice in a row within 50 milliseconds. So either there's a bug with the MinDodgeClickTime or people have some kind of help with dodging. In the 30+ minutes of testing I did with it I had zero issues. I'll take a close look at it before v0.8b.

As for highperf, you're required to use it because you're able to easily (and possibly unknowingly) speedhack without it. If you're having any issues with it on, sorry, but you'll need to work with it. Check for ways to make your UT work properly with it. Any PC can run UT properly with highperftoggle on, I guarantee it. You're not a special snowflake.

[TimTim]

Glad someone caught that.

[kud]

do the bots work better than with stock UT?

[TimTim]

Nah they'll have the same A.I. They just have issues with using newnet weapons properly.
