UT3 Linux Server Now Available

We feel pretty good about this build, but it should be considered beta for now, as it hasn't had the full wrath of the Internet applied to it yet. 
As the download is 1.6 gigabytes, I assume that everyone is going to saturate those servers...I can upload individual copies to those that will mirror with high bandwidth from my Chicago-based server (please email me off-list), and encourage others to post mirrors here, too.
Comments and bug reports can go to this mailing list for now; we'll move to Bugzilla if need be, later.
To install: set the download to be executable and run it; it will show the license text and then unpack itself.
Have fun!

UT3 Patch 1.1 Now Available
|
|
UT Patch 1 (beta #3) Information
|
|
|
Epic has released details of Beta Patch #3.
This patch can be applied to both a client and a dedicated server.
Patched and non-patched clients and servers should be fully compatible.
There are no known issues with applying this patch on a Beta 1 or Beta 2 patched client/server, but if stability is critical, it's safest to reinstall the retail client/dedicated server prior to installing.
This patch includes all Beta 1 and Beta 2 fixes:
Gameplay:- Fixed scaling of certain player meshes (increased in size some human and robot meshes). Addresses meshes being smaller than collision box, as well as eyeheight issues.
- Fixed feigning death into/through ForcedDirVolumes.
- Fixed grenade effects in water.
- Increased hellbender rear turret damage.
- Reduced Goliath machine gun spread, plus slight damage increase.
- Fixed warfare scoring for locking down a prime node not called "prime node".
- Slightly increased momentum taken for damage by mantas and vipers.
- Flak, Rocket, and Shock do slightly more damage to manta and viper.
- Made sure Hellfire SPMA cannon can't fire through walls.
- Increased incoming SPMA fire sound radius.
- Fixed impact jumping with hoverboard.
- Fixed bot Pawns losing their PRI at the end of the match, causing them to, among other things, be invisible
- Fixed being able to switch away from the rocket launcher in the delay between the third rocket being loaded and the weapon autofiring.
- Fixed weapon crosshair incorrectly turning red when hit enemy on the client, but not on the server.
- Disabled attenuation/spatialization on mission briefing sounds.
AI:- Improved bot AI with darkwalker.
- Tweaked bot voice message frequencies.
- Bot aiming tweaks.
- Fixed bots attacking friendly player in rare cases when that player recently stole an enemy vehicle.
- Fixed bots not handling the "Hold This Position" order correctly when the player giving the order is in a multi-person vehicle.

UT3 Patch 1 (beta 2) information
|
|
|
Steven Polge gave a heads up on the 2nd beta of the first patch for UT3. The following things will be fixed (compared to beta 1):- filter settings are now saved to the .ini file.
- fixed UTUIComboBox's editbox and list getting out of sync (editbox text could end up not matching the list's selected item)
- fixed changing gametype via combobox on server browser tab causing filter settings to be clobbered
- changed default value for "Pure Server" and "Locked Server" filter options to be more lenient (show more servers by default)
- Fixed ping values shown in scoreboard
- Don't show ping for bots
- Fixed Miplevel spam when applying patch to dedicated server build.
- Fixed dedicated server getting removed from the master server list if the first player to join fails authentication.
- Bringing up the midgame menu now pauses demo playback.
- Players now stop moving if they fire the Redeemer altfire.
- Fixed joining a passworded server via the server history tab not prompting
for the password.
- Fixed viper and scorpion self destruct death strings.
- Fixed when the player tries to cancel a "Delete Demo" the demo still gets
deleted.
- Fixed HTTP redirection
- Fixed download cache clobbering files that had just been written in some cases
- Increased default download cache size
- Fixed FOV option when patching old .ini's
- Fixed crash when exiting the editor.
- Smaller/simpler simple crosshair.
- Added the ability to delete saved messages
- Implemented DUEL match stat reporting for gamespy ladder.
- Fixed an exploit in CTF-OmicronDawn that allowed players to get outside the world.
- Fix for hole in WAR-Islander where players could get stuck
- Fixed orb rebuilding not being played correctly on clients if the orb was
destroyed by an enemy player.
- Fixed flickering when downloading files.
- Don't reduce tickrate when travelling with no players - fixes server hanging for long durations on EnvyEntry.
- Fixed custom characters not working correctly when playing back demos
- Added the ability to specify custom simple crosshair coordinates for weapons, with new config properties bUseCustomCoordinates and CustomCrosshairCoordinates.
To change the crosshair used for all weapons, add the
following lines to the [utweapon] section of the UTWeapon.ini file:
bUseCustomCoordinates=true
CustomCrosshairCoordinates=(U=276,V=84,UL=22,VL=25 )
where the customcrosshaircoordinates have U and V as the offsets into the crosshair texture (UI_HUD.HUD.UTCrosshairs), and UL and VL specify the size of the texture area to use. To use a different crosshair for a specific weapon, simply add those two lines to the appropriate weapon specific section in UTWeapon.ini.
Note: HTTP redirection will be fixed, but compression will not be supported until the 2nd patch.

UT3 Patch 1 (beta) heads up
|
|
|
Jeff Morris just released some details about the first patch for UT3. Here's the changelog (admin/network relevant only):
Networking:- Implemented STUN support (Simple Traversal of UDP Through Network Address Translators) to enable clients and servers to connect from behind a NAT.
- Fixed team scores very rarely not updating for a client.
- Fixed bot faction option when running a listen server.
- Fixed link setup not reset correctly when going from a map with a custom link setup to one using the default.
- Fixed a case where Duel would place an incoming player on the wrong team when some players were still travelling.
- Bullseye stats are now properly recorded.
- Fixed clients not travelling to downloaded maps correctly.
- Fixed the client and server getting into a loop sending each other close messages in some situations.
- Quick match incorporates player rating into search decision.
- Fixed issue where Vista clients would not receive all servers from a server browser search.
- Applied proper fix to suppressing voice on dedicated servers.
- Fixed issues with players not getting on right team in Duel and Duel+Survival if a player leaves in certain timing windows during map transitions.
- Fixed previous level PRIs showing up on the scoreboard/leaderboard after the client travels (making it look like players have already scored lots of points when those clients are in fact still loading)
- Fixed losing your custom character mesh after changing teams during a match.
Server Administration:- Reduced tick rate for dedicated servers with no clients (saves CPU on idle servers).
- Dedicated servers do not require CD keys.
- Added -configsubdir= command line option to cause .ini files to be loaded/saved from the specified subdirectory of Game\Config\
- Added QueryPort configuration and command line option.
- Added an "AdminChangeOption [option] [value]" console command for server admins. This allows changing most simple .ini values (e.g. GoalScore) from the client. This command will not override URL options. The change will take effect after the next map change.
- Added an "AdminPublishMapList" console command for server admins. This overrides the server's map list for the current game type with the one on the client that used the command.
- Uses GameReplicationInfo.ServerName if set for the name of the server on the
server browser.
- Added "AdminForceVoiceMute" and "AdminForceVoiceUnMute": Stops/Starts a player from sending voip to others
- Added "AdminForceTextMut" and "AdminForceTextUnMute": Stops/Starts a player from send text messages to others
- Updated AdminPlayerList to show the PlayerID of the players on the server.
- Updated Kick/Ban to allow for using either the player name or the id
For the rest of the change list see the first reply.

UT3 Beta in 2 Weeks, Maybe 1 ...
|
|
|
Quote:
Folks,
Just wanted to give you a heads' up that we're getting pretty close to releasing the Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo for Windows. The Beta Demo will allow instant action play against bots as well as online multiplayer. The purpose of the Beta Demo is to test the game on a large variety of hardware configurations and get gameplay feedback from the community. The development team feels they're pretty close to being ready to release this so it could come out this week but for safety sake I'd say it should be out within two weeks.
We have a few fan sites in tomorrow to play the full game and I'm sure they'll be sharing their comments pretty soon afterward.
