Would we like to be integrated into the UT SLV universe?

by **MSuLL** on Fri Sep 19, 2008 11:03 am

Universal Unreal is a mod I am developing that creates "Universes" of players on multiple servers. These servers exchange data about player joins, leaves, etc. Please read more at:

My question is:
Since many of us here are also part of the UT StrangeLove community, would we like to integrate ourselves into the UT StrangeLove "universe" so that our sever recieves buddy updates, etc, and their servers recieve info about one of us joining WhartHog's?

Sounds like another great idea from the code monkey master. All in favor.........

would you be mad at me if I said that sounds silly?

by **MSuLL** on Fri Sep 19, 2008 5:25 pm

Nope not at all, but might I ask why you feel that way? I know some will use it heavily, and some will think it's pretty lame - regardless I like to know thoughts behind it so that I might create a better feature set.

Are there any downsides?

Can you be a part of more than one universe?

No downsides that I know of, really... only requirement is that the server be running Nexgen, as Universal Unreal operates very very closly with it. As a player, you can join an unlimited number of universes. Your client configuration stores up to 128 unique universe logins for the various ones you might be a part of. However, the servers are the data-handling centers, not the clients, meaning that you (for the moment) cannot recieve information from a universe that you aren't playing on at that time. Maybe in the future there can also be a 'master' server for all of UT, but that's not in the current scope of the project.

What are the benefits other than everyone knowing that Alexei wants to be one of my "friends"? Sounds My Space-ish. Will those of us that just want to jump on, blow crap up, and then go back to real life, be affected?

Ah I think you might not quite understand what the end result is, then. Have a look at some development screenies:
http://www.ut-slv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2615

Now for instance if you and I are "buddies" and I am playing at |KOA| SLV server, and you suddenly join Whart's, my screen pops up with that small, unobtrusive message that you have entered wharthog's. And for those of you that just want to jump on, blow crap up, and then go back to real life, you'll never feel any difference. If you don't register for an account online, you don't ever hear a thing from it.

ooohh.. I read too fast. That would be cool -- not silly at all.

I like it.....I like it alot

Fine. But under one condition - you fix the goddamn SLV max speed ... this glitchy max speed thing is annoying as hell... i thought u were gonna drop it down to 30 again... or at least allow 42 as a voteable option...

by **MSuLL** on Sat Sep 20, 2008 12:16 pm

edit: nevermind, I'm an idiot

Omg Alexei, quit your whining about the slv's already. :roll:

And if that's a voteable thing, my vote is for 42. It's not like you can even stay on the slv's for long since the fuel cells arew now handicapped so they don't last at all, which I was kinda in favor of that. Some players flying around forever carrying the flag = very irritating. :evil:

we've all gotten used to it... I think most of us are ok with how it is right now.

The way I configured it was so that the SLV max speed was higher, but the amount of fuel was much much lower, and the two equal out for the most part. Just helps the SLV complete a little bit better with the RX, but at the same time also prevents just flying around doing nothing
