Minipyro45 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Retarded random question: When the modding is done, how are people going to go about running a server for Renegade 2007? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R315r4z0r Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Wouldn't it be the same way that people run servers for UT07? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minipyro45 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Well, like, is there going to be some kind of dedicated server download? Or are we going to have to download the whole version of UT3 and Renegade 2007 to run a server? If it is possible for someone to work on a Dedicated server file sooner or later that would be sweet. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan1x77 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I think it will be the same as 04 with packages the server and client both run. Also, people can get the whole mod just by joining a server running our mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minipyro45 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 So Renegade 2007 servers will appear in the same server list as all of the other UT3 servers? Not like Ren Alert how it showed up differently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan1x77 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 We are unsure until we see whats possible..whatever is better for the mod we will do. Could go either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyBOB Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 If it's like 04 then we wouldn't even need to do anything special. Mods can be self-contained in a single map. Just add the maps to the server. -edit- Therefore the mod could be played on any server, not just a dedicated Ren07 server. The maps could go in any rotation and be more widespread through the community than just on dedicated servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minipyro45 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 If it shows up in the main server list with the rest of the servers, that would be great. That way, the server is available to all UT3 players. The servers would fill up way more than if they were just available to the people who know about the mod.

R315r4z0r Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 So basically, the entire mod can be contained in a map? How big is the filesize of the map? Would it take a while to transfer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepRubi Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I don't think it would be a good Idea to do that as you would sit there for hours downloading the mod when joining the game. I think a seperate executable would be best for our mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrierII Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Unreal has this file type that has the extension .ut(insert version number here)mod, and what is does is install a mod onto a client's UT installation with no problem. I thought this mod've used one of those. In reply to Jeep - it's just like a .exe, but it tends to give less errors and is more end-user friendly. It's also a recognised format amongst UT gamers, so people will know what to do with it (Open it, and follow the on-screen prompts) In reply to R315r4z0r - They would have to download it in the same way you downloaded the UT3 demo.

JeepRubi Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm not sure how unreal tournament mods work, so I'm just guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R315r4z0r Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 How can clients get the models and stuff? It just doesn't magically appear... they would need to download them.. and that would take a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
