UT2004 - Frag.Ops v2.10 Patch [Installer]

UT2004 - Frag.Ops v2.10 Patch [Installer]

This will patch your Unreal Tournament 2004 modification Frag.Ops to version 2.10 fixing many different things listed below.

v2.1 Tides Of War

Added:

- Added the Sig Pro SP2022 sidearm with 4 attachment configurations

- Added sniper breathing, hold breath with AP

- Bots now know how to reload deployable and vehicle weaponry

- Added some more stylish health bars for vehicles

- Added team radar to WAR gametype (tracks vehicles, buildables, deployables,

build zones, teammates, and objectives)

- Added bigger, gorier blood spray, and some truly nasty wall splats

- Added retinal burn/motion blur effect to flash grenades

- Added visible armor levels on player models, those with detail at high or

super high get nice shader effects on the armor

- Statistics return! The classic end-round statistics screen is back with

improved score calculation and more data, and a new personal stats screen is

available upon dying or at the end of each round. True to form, the personal

stats screen will provide the player with tons of data.

- Added some horizontal sway when firing all weapons, predictable (with practice)

and controllable, worsens the longer that rapid consecutive shots are fired

- Bots now choose a random set of armor instead of always medium

- Added impact sounds to weapon pickups

- Added buckshot decals to shotgun hit effects

- Added support for UT2004's exploding barrel kill messages

- Added alt-fire lunge attack to combat knife, if attack lands it is instant death

and the player will lose his knife (it will be stuck in the victim)

- Added a new map loading screen by Int

- Added clientside ammo count prediction (eliminates the "ghost shot" problem

on extremely lagged or saturated connections)

- Added a new experimental recoil system that works independantly of ping

- Added a system that increments the losing team's money reward higher and higher

the more they lose, so the poor don't keep getting poorer and the rich richer.

calculation

Notes:

- On new hit detection: hit detection is now very accurate. Players of previous

versions will immediately notice how much more difficult it is to hit people,

because the hit area was so large pre-2.1 you could literally shoot 1-2 feet

away from the body into thin air and cause damage. In this version, you can

shoot between people's legs, next to their heads or arms, and the bullet will

pass through. If you shoot thin air it will hit thin air. While this will cause

some frustration i'm sure (increasing the difficulty of a game will always do

that), accurate hit zones are very important for this mod and in time we hope

you realize this is for your benefit as well, as all this does is decrease the

luck factor. The better you get, the more this will benefit you.

- On the Med Station: Health boosts will only work after the first wave you

survive, but the level 2 and 3 MedStation upgrades can be used at any time.

* Level 1 heals moderate wounds instantly. Provides a 40 HP boost up to 100.

* Level 2 provides a 40 HP boost and a special endorphine vapor. Temporarily

reduces resting time for 20 seconds.

* Level 3 provides all of the above, plus a stimulant booster to reduce pain

response. Essentially functions as an extra 5% armor for 20 seconds.

It is used by entering the ventilation area and pressing your Interact key. You

can also only use it once per wave no matter which upgrade level.

- On horizontal recoil/sway: there are some things you can keep in mind to help

predict and control horizontal weapon recoil.

* The weapon is more likely to recoil to the right if using right-handed

weapons and vice versa for left. Hidden weapons use the same settings

as right-handed.

* The horizontal recoil will worsen the longer the trigger is held down. Firing

in bursts will keep the recoil effect to a minimum; almost non-existent.

* Crouching and standing still will reduce the effect greatly.

- Fogging and water: there is something in underwater fogging that seriously

disagrees with our mod at the moment, so the following problems are evident:

* Fog is not visible in water while alive

* Fog will become immediately visible once dying

* Fog sometimes won't remove itself from the camera if player dies underwater

We are letting you know we are aware of these problems, and we hope to find

the cause sometime soon.
