THE 227 question...

[hund_schraube]

hund_schraube? its been a while i read this name. Indeed a larger crosshair might be something to think about.

i still lurk plenty but only 15 posts in 4 years.i'll have to try harder 8-)

[TCP_Wolf]

Larger crosshairs... oh my if you play at 1600x1200 it's your own fault you can't see it in my opinion LOL

[snakehunt3r]

Ehhh, will there be a 227 Patch for Unreal Gold or only for Unreal? O.o

[DieHard SCWS]

The patch will cover any Unreal version, Unreal224, Unreal225f, Unreal226, UnrealGold, Anthology UnrealGold.

The only version that is excluded as far as i know is UnrealMAC.

Happy new Year to all unreal lovers

Im not sure if someone mentioned before.
I would like to see an easy way to save unreal cache downloads. Something like cache.ini used in ut would be nice. Now its nearly imposible to retrive any cool stuff within cache.

Don't care, more features / secure

227 patch dead? :-?

no word on da patch n months n Smirftsch da only person left workin on 227?

[Smirftsch]

nah, ain't dead. Indeed we are getting closer everyday. Its simply way way more work than expected in the end. Some "helpers" left, some others came in. Indeed i managed some things, we were not thinking about in the first place. And we are really short from a first beta. Basicly 227 is working clean and stable already

[Shivaxi]

woot! go Smirf!

Any idea when a beta will come out? :-?

[BrakeDanceJ]

Forget about a beta, when can I get a pre-pre-pre-pre experimental alpha release?

[Smirftsch]

lol, not before the anticheat protection is in place and working. Before that it would be a to big risk to have a 227 version which could be abused...
And when its done every single package need to included there, which means we should have done everything else too, because it'll be a lot of work again for every version we release.
So i in theory could release a working version right now, but...

[TCP_Wolf]

Oh yea, that's right Smirftsch, thanks for blaming me ...

[Buster]

I don't blame you Wolf ... LoL.

[Smirftsch]

Oh yea, that's right Smirftsch, thanks for blaming me ...

gah, this isnt about blaming someone, its just the order of things to do. The anticheat protection couldnt be done in an earlier stage, and it simply takes the time it needs
If i would have been faster, it might be complete now also, so in the first place i would have to blame me for not having more time

He's just yanking your chain.  ;D To put things in perspective though, alot of games have been rushed onto the market causing many problems. I'm sure everyone would agree that waiting for a proper release is worth any amount of time needed.  ;)

[Shivaxi]

Haha...well, if therez one person u can trust Smirf...its me...but ofcourse everyone will be like "oh yeah u can trust me too!" lol...so im not gonna egg on the subject...

HOWEVER!! I really think you should get Pcube to help you...and possibly Cheese to...but mostly Pcube (no offense Cheese ) because Pcube is like UBER with these kinda things...i can contact him for ya if you'd like?

Oh btw...TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!! WOOHOOOO!!!!!

That is not related to unreal. Wireless sucks for gaming. Use a wired router if ya want to game.

VERY well said, my friend. Look out Shakespeare, here comes DieHard !!

Hey,
I know you've probably recieved a bajillion and a half feature-requests, but there are two things that I would really love to see, and have been playing around with for a while now.

-Proper stats collection
-UT-type webmin panel.

The first has already been addressed a few ways. My original solution (http://unrealdestination.com/home.php) relied on a cron job running every few min on a linux server. This would query the server, and based on map name determine if the map had changed, store, track, calculate, and add figures into MySQL. Wolf wrote UGHStats (http://ughstats.thenerdnetwork.net), which is great, but requires a 3rd party tool for moving stats from the file to the database. For machines multiple servers this wouldn't be practical or easy to manage. Stats management would be more efficient if the game actually opened a socket and wrote to SQL, or even an HTTP POST to a php 'handler'. Neither Wolf's nor my solution currently support weapon statistics.

Didn't Unreal originally partially support ngWorldStats? Start a server and look at the settings. You'll see web paths there. How hard would it be to reconstruct the web-end of it, and just rework the ngworld code? I'm not sure what portion of it was actually added to Unreal. I'd be up for re-coding all the web-side of everything, and even hosting the system @ unrealdestination

The UT-type webmin panel. Not a full-blown web server in the game though. How about expanding the serverquery code to support authentication and command passing? A PHP web panel could then simply use fsock or fopen to communicate with the server.

Just my $.02,
BrakeDanceJ

The webadmin sounds interesting, but I don't think it'd be worth delaying the 227 patch anymore for it. Maybe as an afterthought release or something.

The stat log should be implementable in UScript. I've never handled any databases or used any internet connection functions, but I believe that one could just make a new stat log class, set it as the world log, and have that statlog use unreal's tcplink class (The chat linker that was made by PCube and posted on this forum is an example) to communicate with the stat server, making it event-driven so you don't need to query the server.
