[UT2004/Release] Server Logo 4

[Wormbo]

The Server Logo mod displays a logo for clients connecting to a server. The logo can be faded in/out, moved around and rotated. You can also let the Server Logo mod play sounds when diplaying the logo.

Version 4 is basically identical to version 3, except that is has been compiled for UT2004 and takes advantage of some new features.
For example, you don't need to add the ServerLogo4 package or the texture and sound packages to the list of ServerPackages. Also, the ServerLogo4 package is flagged as ClientOptional, which means clients can connect without having to download the package and demos don't require the package either.

ok 1 prob its working but its using the default ut2003 unreal logo and even when i use our utx file the server just resets it to its default ut2003 logo can u help?

[Ravu al Hemio]

Have you modified the INI file, like so:

[ServerLogo4.ServerLogo]
Logo=Package.Category.Texture

?

Say you want to use GearHeads under Teams in TeamSymbols_UT2003.utx; set Logo to TeamSymbols_UT2003.Teams.GearHeads.

[Cruicky]

Did you load the entire package by either opening the package or pressing the Load Entire Package button?

[VDP-BlackWidow]

ok im confused there was no o wait a min im puting it on a serer from recongamer and like i uploaded the files and its all there its just going to the default logo, and yes i did do it like u said w/ the texture catagory thing but its not in a coatagory so this is how it is in my ini file

Logo=vdplogo.utlogo

should it be in a catagory as well??

[Aphexx]

is it possible to use a MaterialSequence as logo? because i tried to setup, but it doesnt shown up

[Wormbo]

ServerLogo supports all types of materials, but there may be unexpected display problems with animated materials. Things like MaterialSequences might not produce the desired results because they aren't reset before starting to fade in. Also, a TexRotator is applied to the material, regardless whether a rotation rate was specified or not.

[mongo]

Can someone post an IP for a server that is running the Server Logo mutator. I want to have a look at what it does before I try to get my head around installing it.

Thanks

Not too flashy but it's all i want it to do. Kept it small to not interfere with the first few seconds of game play. One thing i found - you need to keep the delay until start more than 1 sec. This server is set at 3. I found the fade in effect stuttered do to client activity (on my PC) if it was set to 1.

Cool... thanks for the link. That's very similar to what I had in mind. Nothing too huge, just enough to get your image up there.

No, I'm not CoA Mongo... just another one... you can catch me/us at 64,141,18,181 (I like to use commas instead of periods to throw off the bots).

im running this for ut2003. i have a image i want to use. i want part of it transparent so i set the transparent color to black because i thought it works the same way when compiling a .u file. However the black showed as black and it was very blurry. how can i get it the same quality and transparency as the ones given as the examples.

[Wormbo]

The textures used in the example configurations use an alpha channel for transparency and are flagged as interface textures, with means they are not affected by the texture detail settings.

Alpha channels are part of the texture, but you could as well try using a FinalBlend or Shader or even an 8-bit palettized texture flagged as Masked like in UT1. (not sure if the last thing works, though)

To flag an imported texture as interface texture, open the texture's properties window and change the LODSet option in the Texture group to LODSET_Interface or LODSET_None.

Hi, I have downloaded ur Serverlogo4 and use it for UT2004. Now i wanted to insert an own logo and did like u said in your .txt file. Well but somehow it doesnt work. It has the size 256x256 Pixel and in cmd i typed this:

C:\Programme\Ut2004\System>ucc PackageFlag ..\Textures\FBLOGO.utx ..\Textures\FBNEWLOGO.utx +Clientoptional

then i pressed enter
and then following came:
General Protection Fault!
 
History: UObject::StaticAllocateObject <- (Package None) <- UObject::CreatePackage <- UObject::ResolveName <- UPackageFlagCommandlet::Main

Exiting due to error

Whats wrong why doesnt it work? Here are some info about my file from UnrealED:

File: C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Nadine\Desktop\fb-logo.bmp
Package: FBLOGO
Group: ChargerTextures
Name: fb-logo
LOD: 0

Masked: not activated
Alpha: not activated
Generate MipMaps: activated
Detail Hack?: not activated

Well that's it i hope u can help me...

[Cruicky]

You don't require path names in your filenames.

The file you then create will be put into the 'System' directory, preserving the file extension.

No idea why it crashes instead of simply doing nothing, but your path name contains spaces, and UEd doesn't like that when importing.

[Spaggi]

Well, Ive imported it in unrealED again from a file which has no spaces, and then i tried again with cmd, but the same thing happened again... i know that there are some things i have to put in user.ini that it works later in the game, but are some of them necessary that my problem works?
