    Patch 3 Beta 1

    Some improvements, though not as many as I would have hoped for given it's been nearly 4 months since the last one. Might be too little to late with the player population as weak as it is.

    - Fixed up PC DLC screenshots and player counts.

    - Fixed announcements not playing properly in WAR-MarketDistrict during the campaign.
    - Fixed manta crouch exploit.

    - Fixed default mesh not having proper LOD settings.
    - Fixed rare darkwalker physics crash.

    User Interface:

    - Added player name list to server browser.

    - Added midgame map voting, with serverside config options in UTGame.ini:

    - bMidGameMapVoting: Enables/Disables midgame map voting
    - MapVotePercentage: The percentage of votes required to initiate a map switch, counts down based upon VoteDuration;
    - NOTE: When VoteDuration=0, votes for a single map must exceed this percentage, but when VoteDuration is not 0, the number of players voting must exceed this percentage
    - MinMapVotes: The minimum number of players that must vote in order to initiate a map switch.

    - Fixed gibs not showing for clients of listen server if the gibbed player wasn't visible to the server player.
    - Fixed gibs not showing for clients of low-gore listen server.
    - New dynamic netspeed adjustment system for listen servers. Improves network performance for listen servers which typically have limited upstream bandwidth by dividing available bandwidth between clients. Configurable through new properties in UTGame.ini:

    - TotalNetBandwidth=32000 (total upstream bandwidth to be apportioned)
    - MaxDynamicBandwidth=7000
    - MinDynamicBandwidth=4000

    - Fixed properly showing number of players needed for match to start when minplayers is set and bots are enabled on the server.
    - Fixed bug with PlayerID being reused for bots after a seamless travel.

    Mod support:

    - Added support for Interactions to have a PostRender call (to render to canvas).
    - Added support for Interactions to have exec functions be called on them.
    - Added cut/copy/paste support to the console.
    - Added Deproject() to canvas.
    - Fixed base InventoryManager implementation of GetWeaponRatingFor().
    - Fixed crash when placing a new UINumericEditBox in UI editor.
    - Fix for custom factions in the UI.
    - Added optional flag for ScriptedTextures to skip next clear so that a ScriptedTexture client doesn't need to draw every texel of the ST every update.
    - Added support for -mod commandline option so that a TC mod can have a .ini file "sandbox" - where they can have new content paths, new startup maps, etc..
    - Improved system for getting camera death effect.

    What no demo guy fix No mention of VoIP improvements.

    Simple cross hair tweaks, I sure hope this means we can change weapon cross hairs now.

    Well at least they fixed the custom map problem. Really 80% of the fixes I could care less about, or didn't even no there was a problem. Most people complain about no randomizing of players between maps, crappy voice, and the demo guy bug, and yet no fixes listed for these issues.

        Here's a beta invasion mod you can check out. http://forums.epicgames.com/showthre...light=invasion

        The community has released several classic ons maps. Should see a lot more custom maps running when the next patch is released. Now as for Assault maybe next version.

              I'm running a server with that Invasion mod coupled with BattleRPG mod and it's a lot of fun. In addition to DM maps, I also have CTF and WAR/VCTF maps to play on (kill 'em with vehicles too!). Here are a few screenshots:

                As a stand alone gametype, probably not. I have played several custom maps with no orbs, so I guess ONS is back already.

                You can say want you want about UT3, but being a hardcore UT player for ten years now, I like this version the best. Yeah not many people are playing, but its not the same game anymore, you should try it again when the next patch comes out. I'm thinking most people can't run this game on their PC, and along with a few other things killed this game. Too bad its a great game.

                    Can I run a PS3 server off of a Windows 2003 Server Box ???

                      Ohhh, my favorite stock mod for UT2k4 was the Invasion mod, so this is nice to see that its still as good as it ever was.

                      I even got a free copy of UT3 with my C2Q6700, and I haven't even bothered to install it yet. This looks like a nice change of pace, so hopefully I can drop in at Slaughter's and give Invasion a try on UT3.

                        If your talking about running a PC dedicated server for PS3 players, then I'm pretty sure no, can't be done right now. I bet you can run one for the PC players

                          Nope. Can't do it for the Xbox 360 either.
