Thank you.

Well done

I haven't had chance to look at it yet - too busy because of Christmas - but you have made a good enough start for servers to get up and running.

Cool work BattleMode. Been meaning to check this out but have been too busy to do much in UE3 lately. Looking good, though, and I like how you've made everything uniformly an "ability."

Quick question: Why the change to ammo regeneration to disallow it for a period of time after being struck? Although I'm not opposed to limitations like that, it does seem a bit odd, since being damaged doesn't seem connected to having ammo, to me.

I do like that it only regenerates one weapon at a time, although I'd like to see people able to buy weapon-specific always-on regeneration later.

Well, to be honest the reason I did it was mainly to test if the underlying RPG core engine could handle that type of logic

. I will probably remove it from ammo regeneration, make health regeneration faster and add the logic the health generation. That way you can regenerate health between fights (faster) without becoming invulnerable during those fights.

Perhaps there should be a more expensive "regenerate all weapons" ability or something like that.

Thank you for your suggestions, I added them to my to do list: http://bigbattleservers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=690

I had a chance to play your mod on Slaughters prototype server.

I like the way that it integrates with the rest of the game. It is very seamless in that way.

Just a note on game play. Regeneration is very powerful for the cost.

I will look into that (btw are you referring to ammo regen or health regen?)

Health regen.

I dunno if I missed something or not but it seems to be bugged when I use it. For one, Health Regen, while working, regens all the way to 200 even when i have 0 points in Health bonus and health bonus didnt seem to add any more life. Ammo Regen did not work along with weapon speed. Also for some reason when i use it, the map in VCTF disappears.

I moved the 3 files where they needed to be but nothing was said for the classes folder that had to be installed or where.

Few remarks... Health Regen is powerful in its current form as people said for the default price. Also the 999 Health once maxxing mana is a way tad on the Op'ed side. In CTF matches, It usually means you will score the flag as 999 health is excessive. I like the format and the ability to customize the abilities in the config file.

Looking forward to see what this becomes. Also this was under the 1.1 patch if it matters.

This is by design, I will probably change the way this works though.

It seems to work on most servers. How exactly did you test this?

The ReadMe.txt mentiones that you can ignore those, they contain the source code for those who are interested in that.

Agreed, I will change this.

Agreed, the current Mana bonus is a temporary thing to have some use for Mana while I spend time on artifacts which will use them. It might be a little while before I have added those though, next on my list is magic weapons and artifacts are after that.

I see what was my problem now. The effects of the ability purchaces do not take effect till the next life. Everything seems to be working now..... Thanks.

I guess thats what i get for not dying when im testing

.

Also where do you add the ?mutator for hosting matches. I'm still a bit new at working around all the files and such with Ut3.

Yes, more people complained about this. I intend to solve this by killing people who change their build.

It is something you add to the command line which you use to start the server.

E.g.: UT3 server WAR-Avalanche?GameMode=2?MaxPlayers=32?NumPublicConnections=32?NumOpenPublicConnections=32?numplay=8?botskill=5?Mutator=BattleRPG.BattleRPG -unattended -AdminPassword=*** -login=*** -password=***
