Playing Kill The Cow on CTF Face

[Leo T_C_K]

KTC Face video

I posted this on ut99.org before already, though I didn't upload the map yet as I was interrupted but its with all those "200" ports that I worked on recently. I will post a separate thread with all that later.

This is what I said on ut99 about it:

Also, here's a video of kill the cow (the reconstructed/incomplete buggy version) on unreal v200 on the oldest ctf-face.

It works fairly well though I had to restart twice due to the buggyness. The KTC was done using the code taken from the early march 1998 UnrealI.u file(without having the binary unreal.exe etc to go with it) combined with default properties of the febryary version (where it was mostly a placeholder anyways). There was a further version that was working better even, cut not so long before the release of Unreal. But this used to be the official CTF for Unreal. The only confirmed maps were a variant of Morbias/Morbfanza. The rest is unknown. But its likely there were more maps inbetween march and the release version.

Maybe it's time to try with May 07th Kill the Cow?

I wish I could right now, though the code from all the associated actors (including the defaultproperties, we couldn't get thqt from the march beta btw)
should also be dumped. including cowshrines etc

update for the 200-219 mod is on the way, making it more like the may07 version, mostly just copied over defaultprops, in case of cowshrine I had different/extra properties there and they were commented out, making way for the originals, either way there is one major difference in the may version and that is the horseflies, there is an extra class that was /fixme. I kept the old swarm as "old" class though but it will use the may7 flies otherwise. Because there is a separate loose horsefly in the may version, was probably created during april 1998.

I am attaching the script update, not yet compiled as I can't do it until I'm at a public compter again. And today is a hell day.....

[Leo T_C_K]

apparently I didn't even post the ktc200 release except in this thread


you will need the base version for the update

in short here(with the extra maps):

facecru KTC

if you need the ktc version for 200 here it is

KTCUpdate

well here is a KTC update that jackhonda compiled from the scripts (though due to errors he had to re-add the defaults in the editor), as I edited the uc files on linux and tried to insert the same escape characters the original had, however somehow that failed resulting in compilation errors.

This should be tested first of all. Also in case the download stops working, please let me know because it was not supposed to be placed where it is now.

[Leo T_C_K]

I tested it on the barebones 200 install (the editor one) with may07 packages and it just didn't work as expected. some of the properties didn't seem to be transfered. Like mapprefix on ktc instead of dm and such. Because i did implicitly add that in the source files.

Either way jackhonda after my guidance managed to resave (after removing some function calls and commenting out stuff I told him to, there was an entire list of actors as such) the unreali.u file from may7. Under 200 Unreal. So now the package is compatible, you can rename it, export it, do whatever.

trhere are some unique classes like dispproj and meshes so that can be now ported/extracted fully.

And update2 with better results/compiled from cleaned source again. Still doesn't show up in menu though possibly due to the native block epic added for one of the late betas.

update2

edit: and a small "hotfix-like" update because of missed extra quotation mark...updated the same file though...
