I have been hunting for a few days now for a different type of gun to use instead of the Redeemer for CG. I thought it may bring some of the crowd back. So far, I have found a neat little gun in UT4E that is called the Tomahawk. It looks different and only shoots from the left hand. Primary fire shoots one reduced stregth deemer. Secondary fire allows for guiding just like normal. The problem with it is that you can't shhot multiple shots in one direction and then start to guide with the last shot. It makes you wait till your missle hits before it slowly reloads the next shot. I can't live with that. Then I found a new redeemer called teamdeemer or something like that. It has a different view and some other semi goodies but I can't get it to work with the Arena Match mutator for some reason. If you have any ideas please put them up for consideration. I may just leave it as it is in the end as it does stick kick butt.

RAIL GUN!!!!

How about throwing in some team redeemer matches? Just make sure there's no friendly fire damage.

Some CTF or LMS matches might be fun too!

I think redeemer team games would add a new and interesting twist to the game. Maybe we could get 8 regulars together to test an intensive game match to see if it is do-able? Maybe I could make a mod to change the color of the blast to the team color?? So you know who is shooting...that would be neat.

As for the weapon, as you know I have been toying with creating my own weapons in UT2004, and it is not much different in UTGOTY.

The only thing I can't do is create custom HUDS and textures for the weapon look.... As for the game play, I think I could make it do anything we wanted.


Beginning with a standard redeemer, post modifications here on what you would like to see in the new weapon. Will see if I can make it happen. Will look into texture creation to see if we can make an SRA weapon.

Bigi, I will send you a copy of the mods I have and you can check them out. Personally, I like the Tomahawk but it needs to work just like the deemer and the gun itself needs to be right handed. Basically as it is now, it is about half as strong as a deemer. It is like a mini deemer. I think that alone would change the game up lots. Half the damage from half the explosion........entire strategies would have to be reconsidered.

Bigi,

Schwantz and Skank once had an idea to create a custom deemer that looked like a ... well ... a schwantz. It would be a funny site to see a bunch of weiners being guided around the maps ... :lol:

Another idea: modify the goo gun (aka bio rifle) to look like a schwantz.

We've had some good team CTF deemer games ... Also strangelove. Don't know if those count.

Herm, talk to War Master who is also =Inhuman= in the MH arenas. I played on his server one night, and he had two entirely new types of redeemer weapons on it. They each had their own characteristics, and they seemed pretty sweet.

*edit*
Ok, I just noticed that his server was up, so I waited to d/l all the stuff. He was testing his new weapons with <GF>REX and another guy. So apparently these two new redeemer based weapons aren't ready yet. He said he would send them to me when they are done. I told him about our forum here, but I don't know if he'll come by.

As it stands now, one of them is called a War_Nuker, and it shoots fast rockets that are not nuclear warheads but more powerful than ordinary rockets with the left mouse button, and normally guided redeemers with the alt fire button.

The other is called a War_Seeknukeer, and shoots what seem to be shock gun energy charges at a machine gun pace with normal fire, and very speedy nuke like rockets with alt fire.

I think these two weapons could be fun to use. They certainly are interesting enough to check out, and could easily be the source of inspiration for something a little more along the lines that we are used to, perhaps. ;) :D

Sometime <GF>REX got up server. He use stuff from war master.

:( :cry: :( :cry: :shock: :shock: :shock: :oops:

Damn !!!! I see with horror, the end of one of the two last deemer servers !!!! (thrill)

I'm not bored with classic deemer so, I'm sad but... may be it will be another way of fun ?... (damn how I hope that !)

But as a "young" regular (I discovered CG 15 month ago !), I wasn't close to get fully satisfied !.. I always have work on the desk to play as good as some we know !

Hope Kidcapri's will last forever !.. Even if your new "half-deemer" server is a full success :)

If a "small deemer" is not enough for me to get fun, I'll send you an old PC from here in france that could be a new Herm's deemer server !!! :D :D :D :D :D (and I'm serious !)

Seriously, I trust in your idea but I'll miss classical deemer my whole life long ! As Mahatma said one day (for an example) "MH is fun but not funny" like deemer.
Deemer is creazy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P :P :P :P :P

So let's see what it can become... :wink:

I've been logging on lately and yes, most of the time I'm on CG by myself. But the last week or two, there have been other players. Last night there was 7 or 8 including me. I only recognized CoCo but then again, I haven't been around much. Nice to have a pure redeemer arena around. Hope it doesn't go away, but I understand Herm, if you think it ain't being used then perhaps a change is in order.

I've personally been waiting to kick Mah's wet ass but haven't seen him on CG.

Re: the Schwantz servers. "If you build it, [they] will come".

Well I will, anyway.

whatever you go with boss is fine with me.
I will protect Cg forever just like your MHM.

Hotts :P :P :P :P :P :P

I'm a fan so, whatever it happens, I'll be here !!!

I'm sad my home time isn't yours !!! You should see me everyday !!!
When I play with some of you all, it's 4:00 AM here !!! :cry: :cry: :cry:

:wink:
