@Wup: Hmm, there's an idea. I have no idea how the servers system works, but couldn't hedsteem stay with UT2004 and UT3 at the same time; just with different server admins?

Jesus, Dark. Just because a single damn server went down does not mean this mod will die. Stop being melodramatic.

Your argument is full of holes. If you want to stop playing BW because you can't play on Hedsteem's servers, go ahead, nobody is stopping you.

He didnt exactly say that.....
and your attitude is pretty poor about the situation.


Thats a good point.

Well it would have to be On a Diffrent Box with different bandwidth Both of Mine are getting converted. But anyone Wishing to Run the server setup i have Im willing to entertain the thought.

James, he's just paranoid, lack of common sense is a part of that state.

Edit: Goddamnit people, you post way too fast.

Wup, we'll keep that in mind. Maybe someone else here has good experience with running a server.

If I had the time/effort/energy I'd do it. Mr. perfect as a mod...hilarity!

I would help... Its already setup, Router forwarding and Clicking an Icon.....Also you need 120KB/s Upstream (1.5)Meg-Bit connection.


Also I have spoken with Dark, Hes just passionate about Online play and BW..cut him some slack....

Passionate seems to be an understatement.

I'm going to lock this thread if this rant carries on.

BW will be ported to UE3 if and when the devs are ready, and that is final, there will be no more debate around that.

And BTW darkonxy, this mod is about what the devs want and the direction they wish to take it in. In case you have not been following RuneStorm (and it's obvious you haven't), they have a much bigger objective than the BW mod. They have a goal and a whole game idea which they are working toward. BW is not all they do, and it is not the final result, it is simply a preview of what they are capable of doing.

Just because wup decides to change over to UE3, does not mean BW is going to die !
I suggest you take a look at the bigger picture.

Also, BTW, there are better engines around than UE3, just because they decide to bring out the latest release in dying series does not mean that it is good and everyone should jump around.

Oh yes, BW was not JUST FOR people with servers !!

It seems to me you are just reacting because you are not going to get to play BW on wup's servers until the devs decide to port BW to UE3

I'll see about running UT04 Server If there is enuff Money and Demand there.

If I recall correctly, even with your precious dual AM67s I can beat your ass quite easily, so I think I might know a little more on the subject of what's fair and unfair than you do. The weapons are imbalanced. That makes the multiplayer aspect of the game less fun. Perhaps if you take your head out of your ass you might see and understand that balance is one of the most important aspects of a multiplayer game.

Hedsteem is not Ballistic Weapons. BW can thrive without the support of Hedsteem, and vice versa. (No offense to you Hedsteem guys intended)


I'll leave it at that for now. If I continue, I may end up doing something I'll regret. Although I can't see myself doing anything more retarded than what you're doing right now.

Don't bother responding to Darkonxy, feeding the trolls never works.

ok.. how in the hell are we ignoring MP Dark??

can we do anything to stop Wup leaving 2k4? If he wants to, thats up to him, and im fine with that..

We add support for MP in our mod, and thats all we can do neh? We adress problems when they occur.. we deal with bugs, etc, that might affect MP.. so dont go saying stuff about how we dont support MP..

In the end, WE will decide how best to steer OUR mod.. if we have to endure some.. uhh.. unfortunate responses, then so be it.. this is our thing

I'm sorry to hear that HedSteem is leaving 2k4 now, but i'm not gonna go banging my head on a wall in despair.. so anyway, thanks for all Wup

PS: Dark.. you might wanna keep a bit calmer in future.. pointless rant such as this, do not go unnoticed..

heh, well said.

DONT SUPPORT MP!!! I didn't spend hundreds of hours building BW's net code for that uneducated statement...

But don't worry, DarkOnxy BW will not be stuck in UT2004 for ever... We have every intention of advancing and you will definitely get to play BW or at least Archon in MP beyond UT2k4!

Sorry to hear hedsteem is moving from UT2004. Hope you enjoyed running BW on your servers!

BW WILL be advancing!

For now, UT3 is not out and UT2004 will go on for a while. RS is not panicking. Panics cause rash decisions and failures...

UT2004 is coming to a close, RS is just getting started!

well said DC.

I think enough has been said on this matter, everyone has had their say, I say we leave it at that...

sorry bout this rant
what was i thinking , oh well (Onxy E slaps himself )
Delete or lock this thread please..... (ive rattled the dogs cage to much and im still trying to get over the fence without him bitting my *** )

ok, apology accepted.
but for future reference...rants are not a good way to get a point across!

That being said, I think it would be best to lock this before it goes on further. To sum things up:
-BW will be in UT3 one day
-Hedsteem will do what they can to keep BW online
