Some thoughts about multiplayer support...

[han]

Undying has no multiplayer, however it does still have the IpDrv package in it, so it should be possible to get it working and I'm thinking about giving it a try for some time now. My ultimate goal would be to have a Coop Mode for it, but as a first step i would try to add Deathmatch. However it would be nice to have at least one Deathmatch map for it. Is anyone willing to make a singleplayer to deathmatch map conversion of one of the maps or contributing otherwise?

i can test such a thing if you make it, and would be interested,
i played thu undying and its a pretty cool game for being unreal engine.
i have even ported some maps into unreal, althought there just for lulz becuse bsp gets mess up.

Undying just arrived.

Ok finally installed Undying, played a bit. Seems quite nice. However, after some time figured out to export classes, and started digging a bit around. Seems like there is some mp code still around and some graphics, like the player selection menu:

However, there are things like buttons, etc. missing for main multiplayer menu. No undying speficic join/create multiplayer game menu, but at least the uwindow game list windows seem to still in undying.
Anyone around willing to make some UI graphics for the multiplayer part?

Some small status update. Client always crashs after a few seconds, but i still have no clue what causes this.

However, i noticed that Actor.bScryeOnly and PlayerPawn.bNeverAutoSwitch are in native replication statements, but not in UC ones, and thus lack a replication index. However, adding these to the uc statements didn't solve the crash, but i guess adding these needs to be done in any case. Maybe this helps someone else at some point in the future.

However, i still have some ideas what i could try, but this would require creating C++ Headers, which is a huge amount of work, but will probably happen at some point in the future.

Well I just took the server files (UCC.exe and startserver.bat) from Unreal Tournament 1998, put them in the Clive Barker's Undying/System folder and I managed to get a working server. However after joining the server with the 'open IP' command, my game crashes with this message: https://gyazo.com/6fdc0f40498951b6b5e44fe7e65d5dc2

Log from the server console:


Server files: http://www.mediafire.com/file/heixdidhpgrrdbh/server.zip

Any ideas how to make it work? PS. If you read this please reply so I know that there is at least someone who read it. Thank you.

Hello.

Have you thought about completely transferring the game to the 227 patch? Either as a mod or as a separate game.

[Luka]

No.
