Jan 29 19:15:53 <Matt3DGPU>Okay, we're going to get started.  No questions about release dates, they won't be answered, or anything regarding next generation games/hardware.  Present your question to one of each, don't flood us with more than 1 question, or you'll be ignored.  Send your messages to Matt3DGPU, Phy3DGPU, or Jb_Chaos.  If your question don't get answered, don't send it again.  We'll try to get them in as soon as we can.

Jan 29 19:16:50 <MarkRein[Epic]>First of all I'd like to thank the fine folks at 3DGPU and Nvidia for hosting the chat.

Jan 29 19:17:03 <MarkRein[Epic]>We're going to start by taking $1,000,000 NVIDIA MSU Contest questions

Jan 29 19:17:13 <MarkRein[Epic]>I'll start by asking *me* the first question....

Jan 29 19:17:27 <MarkRein[Epic]>Mark---> I won a prize in the contest - where the hell is my prize money and/or computer?

Jan 29 19:17:30 <MarkRein[Epic]>Good question Mark.

Jan 29 19:17:55 <MarkRein[Epic]>Our lawyers have given us a form to be signed by ALL contest winners and we're just finalizing that. Mark Chandler will be sending...

Jan 29 19:18:15 <MarkRein[Epic]>out these forms in the next 7-10 days to all winners based on the information we have in the database. The form will require you to provide...

Jan 29 19:18:41 <MarkRein[Epic]>your proper address, phone number, social security number (if in the USA), tax id (from other countries), and sign that you have complied...

Jan 29 19:18:54 <MarkRein[Epic]>with the rules, have not cheated, and will give the prize back if you did and we catch you.

Jan 29 19:19:16 <MarkRein[Epic]>So that's where we are with awarding prizes for Phase 1. We're now deep, deep, deep in the sorting process for Phase 2

Jan 29 19:19:39 <MarkRein[Epic]>As everyone knows we've pushed the dates back for the contest to allow more time for people to get UT2004 and then take advantage of it.

Jan 29 19:20:06 <MarkRein[Epic]>We've also added a new Phase 4. This has not been announced yet but we're going to add $10,000 Best Onslaught Level and $10,000 Best Assault Level categories for Phase 4

Jan 29 19:20:07 <MarkRein[Epic]>as well.

Jan 29 19:20:10 <MarkRein[Epic]>...

Jan 29 19:20:37 <MarkRein[Epic]>In addition we'll be choosing from some of the better mods and showing them off at E3 this year in NVIDIA's booth. All mods for Phase 3 MUST be....

Jan 29 19:21:02 <MarkRein[Epic]>compatible with UT2004. I can let Joe describe what that means but I understand it is not very hard to make UT2003 mods work with UT2004....

Jan 29 19:21:18 <MarkRein[Epic]>Joe Wilcox (Dr. Sin) Can you describe what's necessary to make a current mod work with UT2004?

Jan 29 19:22:17 <DrSiN[EPIC]>Most of the compatibility changes occur in the menu system.  We have done a lot of updating and overall improvements.  

Jan 29 19:22:51 <DrSiN[EPIC]>Other than the UI, the only major change was to the WeaponFire system and we are working hard to make it as compatible as possible.

Jan 29 19:23:13 <CliffyB[EPIC]><A2597> Regarding vehicles: How difficult would it be to make them invulnerable to damage, and highly effected by physics, such as explosions? (Like, Halo, and the Warthog Jumping pastime)

Jan 29 19:23:14 <DrSiN[EPIC]>Most of the unerlying network/gameplay changes are pretty transparent

Jan 29 19:24:02 <CliffyB[EPIC]>A2597- > Easy mutator to make I'd imagine. Still, blowing up a vehicle is one of the highlights of this game. Going back to a game where they won't blow up is quite an adjustment

coño q mensaje más wapoooooooooo

joas, como para lleerlo todo macho, ! según pone al principio la demo saldrá a la luz en unas 2 semanas, y los mentecatos de centro mail que ya vendén el juego en 4 dias jas jas raroooo rarooooo raroooo

esto era noticia

xD rarooooo raroooooo raooooooo

i esooooooooooooooo

pos aver si sakan ya la demo k tngo unas ganassssssssssssssssss

no lo he leido el post pero lo de "TWO WEEKS" no era en SEPTIEMBRE??? Oo

quien dice two weaks dice one year.... ya se sabe... when it's done...

Eso me suena a mi como el parell mallorquin, en un par de dias=cuando lo tenga y no 2 dias!!!! jajajajaaj

resumen del log ya ordenado:

The demo should be out within two weeks and will include 1 BR, 1 Assault, 1 Onslaught, 1 medium sized DM/TDM map, and 1 CTF map. No mutators.  New map mentions: BR-BridgeofFate, CTF-FaceClassic, CTF-January, DM-Goliath, CTF(?)-GrassyKnoll, several maps from Unreal Championship.  Instagib will be disabled in Assault and Onslaught.  Classic UT mutator will include the ability to load 6 rockets in your Rocket Launcher.  Boost jumping has been altered. Upward momentum will no longer continue when wall-jumping and will, instead, level-off. This is configurable via mutator.  The Community Menu will contain links to select mods, maps, and contains the UTV and Demo Rec menus.  Existing UT2003 maps will receive minor bug fixes only.  Deaths are now a combination of Ragdoll (Karma) and extreme gibbage!  Assault includes a warmup mode.  Enemy pain sounds are more "in your face". Skins stand out more against backgrounds.  Respawn system improved.  Shields/Armor work exactly like Unreal Tournament.  Map Voting System, including match setup option for clans.

como puede ser k esteis ansiosos a jugar al ut2004?

"Shields/Armor work exactly like Unreal Tournament.  "

voctoria : DDDD laas armadutras como son,y los cintos komo cinto.. eso esta mucho mejor

no me lo puedo creer, parece que ut2004 va a parecer un ut2 y todo

^_^ wapo wapo

i need ut2k4 ya!!! a ver si es verdad y sale ya coñeeeeee

ke lo sakeeeeen pereo yaaaa! ke no puedo esperaaaar! me vulevo locoooo!

<rSiN[EPIC]> Any map is good for Insta

Como pierdan a la comunidad de insta, que ya de por si ha decaido un montón en el ut2k3, la llevan clara.

Resulta bastante gracioso ver como algunos siempre creen llevar razón en lo que hacen... en fins. Esperemos que traiga un buen puñado de mapas, y que por lo menos una cuarta parte sean jugables en insta (seria una buena cifra).

jurl 2oo4 is owned!

weno q parece q esta vez van en serio mirad lo q ha dicho hace poco el mark rein q se ansia un tanto:

Did anybody actually read what I said last year? I said that we were "MORE THAN two weeks away..." from the demo but for some reason people took that to mean we were two weeks away. Go figure.  

This time however I said "the UT2004 demo will be released within two weeks". So in other words, we're really close. Will it be tomorrow or over the weekend? No. But sometime within the next two weeks.

No se si os habeis fijado en los requerimientos para el juego , pero en lo q a juego por internet respecta pone lo siguiente :  

"Multiplayer: Internet (TCP/IP) and LAN (TCP/IP)play supported | 33.6K baud modem or broadband Internet connection recommended"

Bien, ya se q pone banda ancha recomendad y tal , pero 33.6K ¿?¿? Esto quiere decir q incluso aqui , en españa . con nuestra super-conexiones (vease cierto tono ironico en la frase ) vamos a poder jugar decentemente con el resto de europa , o son falsas esperanzas q un humilde jugador español se puede hacer , habra q esperar.

#20 como poder conectarte si pero eso de poder jugar ya es otra cosa, sepa dios elping q de eso...
