>keep getting gibbed by strong botsHow do i kill them?They literally lock onto my player chara.
I need an Egyptian wife so bad
>>738303331git gud
>>738304185what if i have the reflexes of a slug?
>>738303820Go to bed, Julius.
>>738303331Use the dodges, Luke. Double tap direction + jump (mainly juggle left and right dodges while moving). Control the shields and health kegs. Give a go to a rocket launcher alternate mode, its barrage is really handy against dodgy enemies, spam it at their feet, at least one rocket will deal some damage.
>>738306407i'm saving this image
>>738306407Man i just wanted to chain flak gun shots and minigun rounds rockets are so booooooring
>>738306407I see.
>>738303331Don't start on the hardest, hang around on Masterful or the one just above it until you can dab without dying much. Practice on instagib for accuracy.
>>738303820me too
>>738303331what game is she from?
>>738311254Unreal Tournament 2004
>>738311325Cool. What's her name?
>>738310935I'll follow that >>738311750Memphis from UT 2004
Xan fucks you
>>738311821I kinda wanna see how I do since I haven't played in like 20 years now
>>738312148I got raped by the masterful bot, this dodging bs is so finnicky why cant i rebind it to a single key. Then again chaining it with a jump like >>738306407 said made me fly around so that was fun
>>738312428If Masterful is too hard, start from the bottom level bots until you reach a point where you can't beat them easily, then stick to that. I just finished a Masterful instagib round, 100 frags in 12mins with a win. I forgot print screen is screenshot, so I'll try again on godlike now.
the game is no longer on steam... does Gog have it?
>>738312786You're OP dude how the FUCK are you tracking the bot down i just wander around aimlessley\>>738312992https://www.oldunreal.com/downloads/ut2004/full-game-installers/they released it for free go play!
>>738303331I just started playing UT2004 for the first time ever this month. It's awesome but hard as fuck. Also I can never stop accidentally dodging. Why tf did they make a double tap movement key button in a genre known for players spamming keys to key their adrenaline up/flow state going.
>>738310935Masterful?? They're dodging everything like crazy and never miss a shot halfway down the difficulty list. I'm pretty damn good at arena shooters like this and I can't even compete at "adept" once I really get into the tournament.
>>738312428Start from Adept difficulty. It's still challenging, but forgiving. Anything lower has the bot stats nerfed, so I wouldn't recommend them. ||But anyway, if you are playing singleplayer ladder, in final stages bot skill will ramp up to a "royal pain in the ass" level.||
>>738311821>Matrix across all UT games is a guy who transferred his memories to a robot>only in UT2004 their model is a fembotI don't think the IP has been good with continuity but it's still funny to think about.
>>738313167that is the exact problem happening to me, I breezed through the first two sections now that I have the objectives unlocked it's constant agony. Really tight gameplay tbqh I'll probably play the shit out of this.>>738313340lol if this happened today there'd be a daily thread about it
>>738313056Not my best game, but I haven't played in years except for a scrim against a coworker maybe a year ago lolStrat:>dont worry about death>stick to walls, use crates etc to hide>learn how far dodges go etc
>>738313340Why wouldn't you want to be a fembot at least once
>>738313162>>738313462Oh yeah, you should bind all your guns around the movement keys instead of the mousewheel or numbers. My binds:>Q = Rockets>E = Shock >R = Lightning Gun>C = Flak>X = Minigun>Z = Biorifle>2 = Machinegun>3 = Linkgun>F = mental blank
>>738313462yay i can beat the adept bot without too much trouble
>>738313394>lol if this happened today there'd be a daily thread about itI dunno, there's plenty of games having odd cases where something like a female unit turns into a male one or vice-versa due to shortcomings or mostly acceptable concessions, but hardly anyone talks about those. Also I'll stand corrected on looking it up a bit more as I misremembered; Matrix being human seems to be a UT3 invention and the rest have boring biographies, and the same game isn't entirely consistent with the rest of the franchise and characters, so it could just be a separate entity. But the character's model was indeed a guy in UT99 and then a chick, so that's still potentially up to interpretation.>>738313508If you can outlive a lot of people, you gotta keep yourself entertained.
>>738303331Strafe moar, door fight, hug corners, dodge behind scenery, oppress like crazy with high DPS, keep distance unless you can secure a melee kill, grab all powerups.
>>738314771Eh all the ingredients for bait threads are there, >former male(dubious claim)check>turned into a hot female(bot)check>hard gamecheck
>>738314018Yay! Keep at it! It's nice seeing someone so interested in my favourite shooter franchise
>>738315184I quite like the way it plays and sounds desu, reminds me of when i used to play quake as a kid.Also the character design just hits all the buttons for my cumbrain man they really knew what they were doing with this.
Man, I love arena shooters but it's a curse trying to get friends into it. My one buddy can't get Quake Live to work without crashing all the time and I can't seem to help him diagnose what the fuck is going on.I'm genuinely considering throwing together a Quake 3 pre-setup build for them (with CMPA because we prefer that movement) but the resources for Q3 stuff is way more buried than UT modding. It might be a pain in the ass because I'm not sure if I can get team arena stuff working with it too or get backports of the Live maps functioning with bots either... CMPA is annoying though because I'd have to go through every setting un-compifying the settings. I already had found a tool that converts Q3 maps to QL's format too but sadly it doesn't port whatever the bots need to work though. This has been on my brain a bit but since /arena/ is dead and there's not even a thread on /vm/ anymore I may as well vent here
>>738315363damn that's a bummer, any particular reason why ya sticking to Quake?
>>738303331Damn shes hot
>>738315765More of my friends like Quake than UT. I like both but I generally prefer the feel of Quake with pql/cpm movement since bhopping is so fucking fun.UT99 definitely has the most soul though, I spent hundreds of hours in it just playing with bots on custom maps and mods. I'm also just more familiar with setting up Quake server-wise, Live makes it almost effortless and I could create a custom map playlist easily for us. If I was more patient I'd like to figure out how to get bots working on Q3 maps that I port over with the tool but I assume it's not straightforward so I never bothered with it. Here's the tool just for anyone interested:https://github.com/sbarisic/bspconv
>>738314771>something like a female unit turns into a male one or vice-versaLike Seth in SFV?
>>738303331I own a UT 2004 demo disc from some french magazine, i installed it once as a kid on my dad's laptop but couldnt figure out the controls and gave up quickly. By the time i was smart enough to understand how to play fps games i was playing Q3A instead
>>738315363QL I think will crash without certain OpenGL drivers, maybe try sticking an older graphics driver dll in the main exe folder.
>>738315354The girls were definitely hot for the time, though, the memories of the nipple stag girls in UT99 will always be burned into my brain. In 2k4 I like the Egyptian girls at the moment, though when I was younger it was the soldier girls.
>>738316856Good tip, I'll tell him that when I get the chance. It doesn't seem to crash on boot but it's usually on map load I think? And only certain maps, so maybe it's some kind of rendering thing as you say?
>>738316590>Q3Athat's the exact game i used to play, since i got it as a pirated copy back then i renamed it to the name of Gun in my local language. Guess that's where my love for the DONK sfx comes from.>>738316953Memphis is so hot man I love Egyptian aesthetics
>>738316480Nah I mean corner in-game cases like say in the case of Age of Empires, a Priestess from a Chronicles civ (nearly exclusively Greeks) converting an II AoE civ Monk (as they are functionally the same unit), and then making the latter pick up a relic, which updates the unit's stats and thus turns him into a Priestess. The inverse is also true, as this behavior has been happening with regional monk skins since Conquerors - it's just the first time one of them is actually female.I forgot if it happened with Ragnarok in AoM, but it absolutely happens with female Norse Gatherers able turn into male Ulfsarks in the original and EE releases. Retold properly adds in female versions of the unit (now renamed Berserks) who have their own model and unit lines.Seth going from guy in SFIV to girl in SFV is more of an intentional design decision.
MMMMISTER CROOWWW
>>738316985I remember there was also a config thing to fix some maps, but the engine is basically cobbled together at the last minute to run as an exe instead of a browser plugin. If you can get your hands on the crash log I can probably give clearer instructions.
>>738303331UseDirectInput=True
>>738317160And because I'm not crazy, webm of it happening.Anyway, I will never forgive Tencent Timmy for taking down UT2004 nearly everywhere because the easily replaceable master servers went offline. Fuck him and I hope OP has fun.
