Singleplayer Serpentine

[athruntalan]

Hey everyone - long time lurker, first time poster.

I remember using the Serpentine mod when I was younger, not long after I picked up the original Unreal (oh, what a time that was). I've got some memories of using it in singleplayer though - there were areas that were harder as you couldn't fire the guns underwater, and the RPG was enough to take down a Titan or the Queen in a single shot, so I always kept one on hand.

I've had a hankering to replay Unreal with the Serpentine mod recently, but the newer versions don't seem to work the same way - it's multiplayer or nothing. Does anyone else remember using Serpentine for singleplayer, and is there a way to still do this with Unreal Gold and the newer patches?

I only recall the serpentine coopgame, not singleplayer. Only serpentine versions 7 and above are avaiable though, apart from "beta 1" though which had only one gun and was "200" compatible. The other versions are lost, even though I believe serpentine 6 had some of the guns that were later cut or something and that are still left-over in the int file.

The one problem with serpentine coopgame was that you couldn't pick up the grenade multiple times unfortunately. Because of weaponstay iirc.

I appreciate your reply on this one Leo, thanks. I wish I could remember what it was I did all those years ago as I had a lot of fun playing it through using single player.

Well since I made this post we discovered sbeta2 and sbeta5 of serpentine, 5 already having gametypes and look what I found

class Serpentine_SP expands SinglePlayer

that is the only gametype apart from DM one. The final one has the unfinished/unfinished port of DarkSerpent.

And SP one is missing,t here is replacement for every default one but SP is missing.

Maybe Beta6 had SP still, otherwise you played beta5....

THIS IS BETA5! (sorry...I had to think of Wrath of Khan "This is Ceti Alpha 5!")

I made Serpentine Plus mod which added support for RTNP gametypes and i made a temporary one for 220 to support 220 botpack ones.

Also there used to be serpentine support for uwar (nonamectf seems to be a "branch" out of it) so there was already a capture the flag serpentine at one point. The mind boggles....

But serp beta5 works on old versions of unreal up to 220, only.

You mentioned the RPG...which means you must have played serpentine 6 then...the elusive missing version...because beta 5 doesn't have rpg weapon yet while it already has most of the final guns...

I wonder if you made any CD backup or anything back then I suppose not...
