UT Chess!

[Freakish]

Ok...now this was weird..call it return of the Gold Team. This "pawn" was able to take the flag from either team (dunno about capping) and I *think* he was killable too. Very weird. But hilarious to see a chess piece moving around the level. He was a spectator.

[Freakish]

And..here's another shot of it..

[Miggy]

LOL yes, the peice was killable! We had one in our game on Accellorator2 the other night. It was player "tHe_fAlLiNg" and he was on gold, looking like the pic you have. And then I saw an evil, evil sight.....

I saw Tek telefag the peice! And it worked!

shhhh..

[Play]

Major props to Duo and Tek today!! Darn chess pieces took the flag and dropped them into outter space. Left the score tied so there was no way to end the game. :rolleyes:

Were you guys able to finally reset the server??

Anywhoo, it was major hilarrious to see everyone chasing the pawns around. :D

[SunnyDay]

I had that happen to me a long time ago when I was playing on another server. The chess pawn thingy. Although I never thought of stealing the flags and making them disapear forever when the game was tied.

[outdoor]

mm.... does the chess pawns (spectators in chess pawns) appear in EVERY MAP or just a few?

if they appear on everymap, catastrophe (is this how you spell it?) happens..........

[B.C.]

how to be chess?
:cool:

[Ghost_Recon]

I believe the chess exists due to a mischeiveous error with a mod that I think MadMikey is running. I heard before on this forum that the Gold Team popped up out of nowhere and Phanataz was the only member in gold team. He can take flags from both bases, but he has no flag of his own to return it to. I think we are seeing a similar situation, hence my reasoining that MadMikey is using the ForceTeamBalance Mod or another version of it. I also saw evidence that the ForceTeamBalance Mod is on since I saw this guy named CanadianBadAss on blue team with 5 vs.3 red. He accidentally killed himself, while I had my scores (F1) on, and he immediately flipped over to the red team without any sign saying so.

Drop this mod, or else it might happen again in all the other maps we play = Bad.

[MadMikey]

As far as I know, it's map specific. I remember hearing awhile back that spectators could take the flag in CTF-Accelerator. I had planned to try it out myself, just to mess with everybody, but never remembered when the game was running.

I kinda like that map, but we'll pull it if there's a problem. Any mappers out there who'd like to take a stab at fixing it, that would be cool.

For now, I guess we'll pull it.

[Creeper]

Ghost,
The 'accidentally die, then switch teams' issue happens anytime someone switches teams mid-game. It kills the player, then they re-spawn on the other team. That's just how UT works when you switch teams.

As far as the pawns stealing the flags in Accelerator, well, that was all Tekgod's fault :D
Ya, it sucked, but it was funny to see all the Stealth regs on other servers.

Glad its back up. :cool:

[Freakish]

If someone's going to go about fixing it; here's (what I think is) the root of the problem. When you enter the game to spectate, everything is normal - you fly around and can't cause trouble. But, if you fly up too high in the map (outside of the spaceship), some zone (Bing Bing!! CHECK THIS ZONE) instantly kills you and you respawn in the red base spawn area as the pawn. This is when you can begin to cause trouble. You can't fly around but can only run around (and dodge) and pick up items and weapons. You can goto the console and type "fly" and be able to move like a normal spectator again, but I think from this point on you're the pawn piece. Hope this helps if anyone was gonna fix it. :)

[Masterblaster 43]

i just tried it out, its hella fun.................lmao. ya, that map might need to be removed. and if a mapper does take it on, try to give it better fps in the big room.

[IHopeToGod]

I don't have the map, nor do I have any more room on my HD to download it. But I suspect he has some sort of killzone in the sky, (maybe cloudzone) that can kill spectators (or could be bsp error). Anyway this seems to be a bug in UT code which fails to deal with this error. So the author should change the type of zone. This same bug appears in DM-redheat as well.

[HERO Maxwell]

lol. For all its worth it wasnt my, or teky's bad.tHe_fAlLiNg took a flag and then quit the game.When he left the game he he unintentionally took the flag with him.

[Phanataz]

Should we send the AOK clan over to his house and spam him until he returns the flag?

[-tekg0d-]

actually max I took both flags and went outside the corridor and flew up reached the kill zone and died. The flag dropped to the bottom but didnt regen..
:D whoops

er nm..for all its worth I had nothing to do with it!:D

[AJack]

I saw that once on another server. I didn't think much of it until it started moving and started chasing me, then I shot at it with all my weaponary and didn't do a single dent to it. It was actually kinda freaky.:eek:

[Freakish]

Hehe..I haven't been on for a while and thought the Accelerator problem was fixed since the map was back on the server. Hehe..when I lost the blue flag some people got a wee bit angry at having to play DM for the last 20 minutes of the 3-0 match. Woops.

Stuff I learned: -can't be telefragged if you're a flying pawn (type fly after you spawn) - this is how I lost the flag; I was flying and then nobody could telefag me so I dropped it the only way I could figure out...

-CAN be telefragged otherwise

[HERO Maxwell]

lol..Jen and I were messing around yesterday on that map. I grabbed the flag once, it was an accident, and then some people got really pissed. Lets just call them D.L. and uhh...inkswatch. If I pissed anyone off, I am sorry. Was just fun and games.

ok, I learned two things. First and most important of the two is that when you are a pawn the skull rocks! it was incredible. I had five guys chasing me and "BOOM". I was telefragged and they split into tons of tiny fragments.
err and second, you dont wanna piss of the regs. I swear, when i was on there later people were ganging up on me.(both teams!) From now on I will stop doing that on this server. There are plenty of other servers that run that map. I will go screw with theirs. :D

[MadMikey]

CTF-Accelerator2 is no more.

[Freakish]

LOL Duo!! I think it was those two who got uber-angry at me too!! Oh man..yeah skull rocks though..and it's hilarious to hear someone say "Hey there's a pawn floating around".

Can't say I'll miss the map too much..

[HERO Maxwell]

hehe. Ya, it is not missed. It was time to retire it anyway. Guess me and freak will definately have to go to the other servers to screw up tha games now. hehe. what do you say freak? Theres always those newbie servers?

[HERO Maxwell]

err and I won't forget about tek..You are the one that screwed it up in the first place:D

[Freakish]

nyahahaha sounds good... we can each get a flag (I found out you can't get both at once..hehe) and fly around. Only thing that sucks is if you have the flag, they can't tell. :( It would be awesome to see a flag hanging off the back of a pawn.

[HERO Maxwell]

Actually, you can get both flags at once. You probably put on fly mode, so it wouldn't let you pick the second one up!
