Looks like there is still some small hope that the linux ut3 client will be released someday.

These were taken from Ryans finger server so it's straight from the horses mouth.

Unreal Tournament 3:

Seriously, there's no conspiracy.

...so stop sending me email suggesting that Microsoft is paying to block this.

And here's the proof

I just tweaked the cache a bit, added css files and javascripts to the caching functions.

It shouldn't have any adverse effects, but please let me know if you notice page loading has gotten faster, or any bugs.

Also, I added an option so you can chose to hide the server status block on the frontpage. It's pulled from an external server status site which sometimes is slow to respond and slows down loading of the frontpage.

To hide it, go to your account, click edit and find the block configuration heading and uncheck the server status block.

Network Solutions

For some reason auto renew on this domain was randomly turned off, it's the first thing I make sure is always turned ON for any domain I care even remotely about.

Luckely I also payed for domain protection for this domain, so it can't be snagged up until 3 months after it expires so it finally payed of shelling out those extra $$

Here we go, first company to fuck over net neutrality.

The new CEO of Virgin Media is putting his cards on the table early, branding net neutrality “a load of bollocks” and claiming he’s already doing deals to deliver some people’s content faster than others. If you aren’t prepared to cough up the extra cash, he says he’ll put you in the Internet “bus lane”.

What the fuck is wrong with people putting up with this? Here in Scandinavia ISPs are falling over themselves to offer faster and cheaper connections, no packet shaping, no bandwidth limitations, everything's flatrate. In the last couple years my ISP has DOUBLED my line speed without charging more, I started with 2mbit way back, then it was upped to 3, then 4 and around last year 8mbit and all that keepting the same price, hell it even got cheaper I think. Last month I downloaded (According to my newsreader) around 80 gigs, yes that's EIGHTY GIGABYTES and I have been doing around that pr. month the last 4 years at least, never heard a peep from my ISP, they just keep giving me more bandwidth, shit they even give us a free news server to leach from.

This is not only me, most of my friends do the same. Prices keep dropping, bandwidth keep increasing. What the fuck is wrong with the rest of the worlds ISPs that they constantly search for new ways to screw over thier own customers?

More here: http://torrentfreak.com/virgin-media-ceo-says-net-neutrality-is-a-load-o...

Also a good video explaining the situation here in case you are confused about what net neutrality is, and why this is important: http://stopvirgin.movielol.org/

If you can, please link the above site on as many places as you can, apparently youtube/google is in on this deal somehow because the videos about this on googlevideo and youtube are being marked as spam even when the video has over 30.000 subscribers by now, very fishy.

Oh yeah, new bonuspack just released.

2 new CTF maps and a DM map

1 - Facing Worlds (CTF-FacingWorlds.ut3)
2 - SearchLight
3 - Morbias

I'm putting up a Face server to see if that will put some life back into CTF, look for "[acu] In Yo Face!" in the ctf server browser.

WickeD at unrealNA found a way to get server history working once it eventually stops working.

open your UTGame.ini and search " GameSearchHistory " you will find some #'s that identify servers (your favorites is right under it).

History stops working cause epic was smart enough to not make it overwrite and when the slots run out it just stops working and displaying.... or some shit.

ANY WAY just delete all lines under
[UTGame.UTDataStore_GameSearchHistory]

Source: http://www.unrealna.com/forums/showthread.php?t=915

ok, since favorites is fucked here's how you can at least get something...

Create a text file in the folder where ut3.exe is, name it after your favorite server, say acu.txt

in this text file enter:

open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Where X's are ip address.

Now when you wanna join server open console (F10) and type:

exec acu.txt

Crude, but easier than remembering the ip addresses of your favorite servers.

Well that blows, but he is releasing the source so anyone can pick up where he left.

Thanks to Lotus for his hard work on UTComp and CustomUT and GL/HF IRL.

I find this fucking funny, a mouse that's like 4 years old kicks the snot out of everything on the market, and rapes all the shit expensive lazor mice and you can get it for peanuts still.

http://www.esreality.com/?a=longpost&id=1265679&page=1

I was looking for a new mouse as my G5 is allready fucking up on me and since I gone down in sens. a bit it has tons of negative acceleration that fucks me up.

They say it's hard to get, but the local computer store list that they have 4 of them in stock...

Until tomorrow that is, then they will suddenly be sold out

Getting tired of playing public servers with no teamwork and no communication?

acu is always looking for new friendly players to join us. While we do play competitively on ladders and in cups, you can join if you just want someone to play with that are organized and fun to hang out with, you can play with us for fun or practice with us and join us and play official matches if you want. All players will receive training if they want to get better. We also have a teamplay bible with tons of info on how to become a better player that all acu members will have access to.

acu is a friendly clan, we don't want players that talk trash and are unfriendly to others, we are all over 18 (lol understatement) so you should probably be to, but if you'r mature for your age give it a shot anyway.

You will need a headset and have teamspeak installed as we use that to communicate in game and it's load of fun to, especially when the Swedes are talking

So, if you'r interested in seeing how it's like to play with people that doesn't run around like headless chickens doing whatever in a team based game like ctf...

Join us today! ((((*hypnotic stare*))))

You can reply to this post, or join #acu on quakenet to get in touch with us, go on, we won't bite ya!

Due to lack of players that returned to UT3 from UT2004, we are in need af people to play with us on the clanbase ladders and cups.

Open Positions:

• 2 Attackers
• 2 Defenders

Most acu players has been playing unreal since ut99 demo days so we need experienced players that are used to playing positions and working as a team.

You must be able to play a couple trains a week, have IRC, TeamSpeak installed and a headset. You should also be able to speak english well enough to understand as we have players from Denmark, Sweden and Finland and who the hell understands those moonlanguages

NB: We don't want clan or cup hoppers that only plays with us for a cup, we want dedicated players with staying power that are in it for the long haul.

We have our own fast dedicated server for running the game and teamspeak.

BTW: If you are new to unreal tournament or just looking for a friendly clan to play organized matches with, feel free to join us, as we also play for fun and we will train you if you need it. We have a teamplay bible that new players will be given access to, so they can practice on thier own time and learn teamwork and how we play. Once you have moved up in skill and feel confident in your preferred position, you can of course play with us in cups and ladders, but if you only want a clan of friends to hang out with that's fine, the more the merrier.

PS: Need a passworded lowping euro server for a match or pickup? Contact [acu]Ken

Rules of conduct for all gameservers:

We all play this game to have fun, and nobody likes a lot of rules, but unfortunately online anonymity brings out the worst in some people, so we have to have rules of conduct to make sure everyone has a good time.

First of all, this is a game where you blow the brains out of other players, killing them in a glorious rain of guts, blood and internal organs, so we don't care about swearing, but keep it lighthearted and fun.

If you can't tolerate a little cussing, you probably should not be playing a game like UT, perhaps "My little pink pony in the land of the sugarbunnies" is more your style.

What will get you kicked:

• Chat or taunt spamming.
• Voice server abuse, singing, screaming etc..
• Map exploits.
• Verbally harrassing other players.

Please note that repeated offenses will probably get you banned eventually.

What will earn you an instant ban:

Rasist remarks/nicknames.
Using any kind of cheat, aimbots etc...

Remember to be kind to newbies, if we want the community and playercounts to grow we have to treat them good or they will leave for other games. If you see a newbie getting raped ask if he/she would like a bit of help and teach him/her some shit.

Due to the creativity of certain individuals, these rules will probably be updated in the future, so drop by from time to time to read up on the current rules, thanks for reading and have fun!.

acu is back on irc again on QuakeNet so get IRC installed and add #acu to your perform and idle in there so we can catch eachother for some games.

Well I finally got done with it, so here's everyone's favorite DarkSide remade from scratch for Unreal Tournament 3

You can find it along with my other maps here: http://hosted.filefront.com/ILTK/

Please let me know what you think and report any problems.

Feel free to host this on your own servers.

Mostly the same as ut2004 version, with a bit of "skippers cove" look because I couldn't find enough coherent meshes, it seem that's the reason all custom maps lately are in that metal look, those are the only one there's enough trim and shit to have a coherent theme, there aren't even any crate textures, and we need CRATES AND BARRELS ffs

You can find it along with my other maps here: http://hosted.filefront.com/ILTK/

CTF-SometimesIFallDown.

Fast open oldschool space themed map for Unreal Tournament 3. It was based on an old ut2004 map I can't remember the name of, I created this one to get a feel for the new editor and changes to things like movers, doors and water.

Please play it and let me know what you think, comments and gameplay suggestions welcome.

There's botpathing and they play it well.

One thing to know about this map is that you WILL fall down, hence the name

You can find it along with my other maps here: http://hosted.filefront.com/ILTK/

Screenshots:

Oh please please please, I'm so hurting for these maps

I mean, just LOOK at them!

EDIT: IT'S OUT - YAY!

Here's some vehicle tips in case you didn't know them:

Hoverboard:

Press fire to grapple a vehicle, then crouch and hit back at the same time you will close the gap between you and the vehicle, makes you harder to hit and you don't fly around wildly as the vehicle changes directions.

Dodge forward to flip instead of dodge.

Hellbender:

The turret still powers up, but you just need to wait to let it charge full, if you keep firing it will do little damage, wait 3 secs and it will do lots more damage, one hit kills on players on foot.

Manta:

Crouch for manta is brakes on.

Viper:

Jump is brakes on.

Scorpion:

Press space for speed bost, then eject from vehicle and you will fly out and the scorpion will self destruct when hitting something causing 650 point of damage to whatever it hits.

The ball-launcher projectiles lock onto enemy mantas and vipers.

Dodge forward as you start the vehicle for speed boost.

Necris tank:

Crouch to increase speed. Jump the increase hight and weapon damage, but move slower.

Scavenger:

When you go into ball mode for a few seconds it will glow and do lots of damage to other vehicles.
The ball around it will do damage to whatever you fire at, hold the crosshair on a target to lock on.

Vehicle general:

Press number keys to change positions.

lmao, about 5 minutes after I got the vehicle ctf server up and running it was packed.

Alright, the servers are up and running and should be found in the gamebrowser under standard ctf as dedicated pure servers.

For the public free for all servers look for:

[acu] Jonestown 100MBIT NW CTF
[acu] Jonestown 100MBIT NW DM
[acu] Jonestown 100MBIT NW VCTF

The servers will be running custom maps as soon as some good ones come out, the oldschool lowpoly map pack should be out this week and it will kick major ass!

I may raise the playercount on the pubs, the new server should be able to handle 50 players or more with no troubles.

I also setup a private match server which can be found as:

[acu] Jonestown - Match server

I put the match server pass up in the private forums.

I hooked up a 64 person teamspeak server since it takes almost no cpu and bandwith so the pub players can use it if they like, we have a private channel on it, pass is in the private forums.

I may also setup up a warfare server, right now I don't why, but the warfare server just keeps crashing with an error I don't know what the fuck is up with, but I will sqaush it when I got some sleep

To get the server IPs and teamspeak server info, please see the Game server page

Please let me know what pings you get (Press F10 and type stat net in the console ) and how the servers feel.

Have fun!

Some screenshots of the Ripper, still in development so it still needs lots of work.

Brings back memories of spamming corridoors and getting random heatshots on pub servers, killing myself lots of times from backfiring flying blade chaos

Weeee, finally everything's ready to rock.

I'm downloading the dedicated server now, should be done in 30 minutes (Slow ass file mirrors) and after that I just need to hook it up and open some ports on the server firewall and we should be ready to rock.

I'll post some more info when everything's ready.

Well it fucking FIGURES that right after I order the dedicated Linux server for Unreal Tournament 3 that there's some legal bullshit that is holding up the port of the dedicated server to Linux.

Seems like it's either aegiea or whatever the fuck that useless graphics shit card is called that enables some useless falling walls physics that nobody cares about, OR it's gamespy because of some proprietary software that the server depends on so it can't be ported to Linux.

This means that I would have had to pay 100$ to get it converted to Windows, luckily the hosting company was cool about it and I didn't have to pay, but I WILL have to pay when the Linux server finally comes out because fuck running a windows server so I will need to convert it back to a proper Linux server.

Thanks Epic for fucking up yet ANOTHER thing for this allmost DOA game when you PROMISED that there would be a Linux server out when the game went gold.

If this was not enough, on the windows dedicated, the redirect is broken, so when switching to a custom map all players will need to reconnect in order to download the map and play.

If I didn't fucking LOVE this game I would have ditched it so fast it'd be spinning.
