whoa! That brought back memories! I played MTREK (and Emprie and Colossal Cave / Adventure) on VAX/VMS

Also Moria (originally written at OU

Check your file extensions - it should be UT4MOD (so you could try renaming it). From the file explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types (tab) [yeah, you already knew that, I see]

Yup - the product is older than all of us, I think (even Dirty Deeds -maybe

Prison!!! Well, kind of kidding reallly - I've never seen a map with so many secrets/easter-eggs/whatever. It is BIG and complicated but can be fun.

Did that whippersnapper just call us old?

Heya DD! OK - so you beat me at "the old guy" - hehe - glad you found the forum

Genocide refers to eliminating a whole species (i.e. all the titans) - probably with a radius or timer and maybe like the Ultima ability, at time of death.

Very cool, Druid!

The X-room (or X-Files based room - not sure of the name really) was pretty cool too. Difficult (especially in Skilled mode) but good.

And yes, Toy Story is very well made - it has built-in hiding places and secret (or non-obvious) teleports that took me a little bit to find but overall a very well made map.

You get XP (experience) points for just damaging a monster. AFAIK, the kill counts for the standings. So, for new (or low level players) just stick with a higher level player and hit what they are hitting. Even if you don't kill it, you will get some points and your chances of survival increase significantly (counting on the higher level player to actually be able to finish off the monster).

Oh yeah, and like XChosen, I would also rather go out in a blaze of glory so I try to tailor my skills/abilities for damage. If there wasn't a cap on skills I may have gone with high damage reduction but I'm not sure it would have worked for me because I like being in the middle of the fight (I'm pretty lousy at hiding because I'm impatient - glad that DirtyDeeds is so good at it to keep the waves going)

There was that thread about dropping Gael (sp?) just to annoy XChosen... but other than that...

I saw a map the other day (yes, yes, on another server, I know... mea culpa) that was a re-make of a Quake3 map called "Camping Grounds" (I think it was Q3DM6) and it was pretty cool. Maybe not for 20 people, but about 10 was pretty intense. I couldn't find it in Mapraider though, so I'm not sure if it is widely available. Anyway, that woud be my request if we are requesting

The old "Genocide" spell (going back to the Hack days) would be cool if it could be implemented in some form... like a Deemer of Titan Genocide

EBL? (Enemy Behind Lines)

oooh - nice, Tidu

I've always wanted to map, even fired up Q3Radiant and the UT editor but lack of time (plus dedication and no artistic talent) have kept me from it. Good job !

Heya - please send a PM (private message) to Druid or Shantara. That will ensure that they get your message so they can resolve your issue
