Sunday, 12th of December 1999 A note to all those who play udm on winquake - you need to remove two files from your udm\progs directory in order for udm to work on winquake , the two files are b_rock0.bsp and b_rock1.bsp. Strangely, these are the files that seemed to cause udm to crash winquake. After removing them, udm will work perfectly on winquake. The guy who mailed me and said he couldn't get udm to run on glquake on his voodoo 2 card last week told me that he managed to get it running somehow by updating his drivers. He was using a magic3d voodoo2 card and used the creative voodoo 2 drivers instead (since magic3d has closed down). Odd, but it's worth getting the latest drivers (or maybe creative's voodoo 2 drivers instead) to get UDM running on Glquake :) This week's maps of the week has been delayed, i'm a little busy at the moment but i'm sure you guys won't mind since not many of you bother to download them... Malcolm Lim A.K.A CyberKewl Sunday, 5th of December 1999 This week's maps of the weeks has been updated. I'd highly recommend you to download all of the maps especially Cold Halls by Vondur, as it is a very good map in my opinion to play with UDM. It has some large space around unlike other maps that i have seen. Jexdm1 by JexJackl from the first week is also quite a large one, give them both a try. UDM has been finally reviewed for once by Koolio from Modcentral. Click here to check out the review. It's quite a good read really although i have to disagree with Koolio on the homing missile and the bot movement. In my opinion the homing missile is balanced as it is much slower than a normal rocket launcher and takes up 4 rockets to fire one homing missile. If you are good at aiming, i'm sure you won't use the homing missile unnecessarily. I did not use norse_movetogoal for the bots movement, the thing that slowed down UDM is most probably the visible weapons. I have set my vid_mode to 0 and it was smooth actually, no idea why Koolio had low frame rates. Click here to get the sample config files that you can make use as an example while playing UDM which has a number of direct weapon change impulses. It's good to use them as it allows you to switch between the weapons that you use most frequently through aliases and binds. Malcolm Lim A.K.A CyberKewl Sunday, 28th of November 1999 Sorry for the delays on the maps of the week, but i was busy getting UDM 1.5b ready for a release and there's nothing to show but a finished product of course. You can get the latest version of UDM which is 1.5b that has some new models and sounds from various mods, a new weapon that replaces the nailgun - the Pulse Rifle, some small bug fixes and the reaper bot will now be able to use Wind Tunnels and the bot model can now "yaw" like a real player could (was once a feature that Steven Polge wanted to implement before he went to work for Epic). The second thing is the maps of the week, from this week onwards i will post at least 2 quality maps with screenshots for downloading. This week there are 5 maps that i have selected that uses the Quake 3 Arena textures, they do look groovy so go and grab them at the Maps Of The Week section ! I'd appreciate any feedback/comments/suggestions that you would like to give me, i haven't received much feedback on UDM yet but i hope that will change in the future. Not to mention that no-one uses the Discussion Forums at the moment. There's still a small problem with GLQUAKE and UDM as one user reported, it didn't work on his Voodoo 2. So far the only card that has been tested with is the Voodoo 3 and it works according to Randar. If you happen to have an idea what causes UDM to crash on GLQUAKE , do let me know. Malcolm Lim A.K.A CyberKewl Sunday, 21st of November 1999 It is FINALLY here ! Yes ! The latest version of Ultimate Devastation MOD ! After beta testing it for some time, it is now released to the public ! Go grab it right NOW. This new version has many bug fixes,enhancements and balancing issues straightened out. It also includes 5 new weapons (YES!) that is the Grappling Hook, Gatling Gun (replaced the ricochet nailgun), Shrapnel Launcher, Rocket Pods and the Devastator ! I would like to thank three guys who have helped me greatly during the development of UDM 1.5. Firstly i would like to thank Raymond Siah, who is now UDM's official beta tester for some time has helped provide neat suggestions and bug reports, Randar for beta testing UDM 1.5 in GlQuake to make sure it works fine and lastly but not the least, Alex Perry for giving some sound suggestions to put into UDM 1.5 especially the new homing rocket launcher model taken from AzPak by Azure. The map of the week should begin some time tomorrow or in between this week, till then - Enjoy UDM 1.5 ! PS : If you haven't noticed, the screenshots have been updated - have a look at the screenshots before or while downloading UDM 1.5 :) Malcolm Lim A.K.A CyberKewl Monday, 25th of October 1999 I just hate that guy who modelled the playerag.mdl file ! This file is the file that causes GlQuake to crash, if you happen to have it , delete it. It's inside the udm/progs directory. Once you delete it, it won't cause GlQuake to crash again. Along with that i have released a small fix for 1.2 that fixes a small bug that displays the episode runes after the player is killed/telefragged. Sorry for all the confusion and problems, i'll try to be more careful in the future :) Malcolm Lim A.K.A CyberKewl Sunday, 24th of October 1999 It's here ! The latest version of Ultimate Devastation MOD. It includes 4 new weapons, 1 new rune, some new sounds taken from Quake 2 and Warbot, telefrag reduction code, radar and a map cycler that randomizes up to 15 maps (all these are new features since UDM 1.1). This version should also fix the GlQuake crash bug that was actually caused by a .mdl file (damn). Anyway go get it right now. I will add the map of the week after my final exams in about 2-3 weeks time. Enjoy ! Malcolm Lim A.K.A CyberKewl Thursday, 14th of October 1999 Just a short update here - i got a mailing list up for those who want to subscribe to it go ahead and do so to receive update notification when this page is updated. There's also a Discussion forum up, you can post your comments, suggestions, tips, hints or almost anything regarding Quake or UDM at the forum. Besides that, the links section has been updated. As for GLQuake, i managed to fix the problem and the next release of UDM will fix the GLQuake crashing problem. Expect the new version to be released quite soon. Stay tuned. Malcolm Lim A.K.A CyberKewl Saturday, 9th of October 1999 As promised, i present you the latest version of Ultimate Devastation MOD ! Grab it at the downloads section along with the two latest map packs. I'm still looking for more beta testers, especially those who have GLQuake (i don't have a 3d card so i can't test UDM on GLQuake, therefore this version MAY yet crash GLQuake, i'm not sure. There's more to come in the next few days and the following weeks with map of the week stuff and also polls stuff. I'll get a mailing list up on the next update if possibile. Till then, stay tuned ! Make sure you read the readme.txt while downloading UDM, it's essential ! Malcolm Lim A.K.A CyberKewl Tuesday, 5th of October 1999 After more than one month of inactivity, i present you 4 demos of the upcoming Ultimate Devastation MOD 1.1. I've been working very hard for the past few weeks and the results were fascinating. This new version of UDM that should be released hopefully by end of this week is going to rock. Head over to the downloads section and grab the huge 5.6 megs UDM 1.1 Demo. It's big because i had to put in all the models and sounds inside because of the Kascam Deathmatch Camera that i used to record the demos with. The upcoming new version has a total of 12 new weapons (5 new ones from previous version), new deathmatch modes ranging from Last Man Standing to Deathmatch 8, better bot talking, and a whole bunch of stuff and i think there's twice the amount of features since UDM 1.0 ! Get ready for the weekend :) Malcolm Lim A.K.A CyberKewl Saturday, 28th of August 1999 Ultimate Devastation MOD 1.0 is finally here ! Get it at the downloads section. Don't forget to read the readme file as well ! Anyone who wants to be a beta tester or who can record great demos, do contact me. That's all for now. For those who have downloaded UDM earlier, please download the small patch that has been released at the downloads section, unzip it to your udm directory and overwrite the progs.dat file. It's just a small bug that doesn't enable the bot rocket jumping mode by default, nothing real big. Malcolm Lim A.K.A CyberKewl Friday, 27th of August 1999 Welcome to the Ultimate Devastation MOD homepage, finally up and hosted by Botepidemic. This site features the current MOD that i'm working which comes with new weapons, new sounds, new models and incorporation with the Reaper bots. There's also a lot of improvements that have been made to the Reaper bot following the Inside 3d tutorials, there's actually a lot to it, but i can only explain this much till you actually see it. If you happen to be good at Quake C and are willing to help me, please do contact me, i do need people who can help me "improve" the Reaper Bot even further. I also need beta testers for this project, again feel free to contact me if you would like to be a beta tester. Also needed are people who can record great demos with the bots showing UDM's features :) I have actually been doing Quake C since the last two years, active at that time and i even created a MOD which is quite similar to this one with the Reaper Bot as well. However, when i decided to stop the project, i DID NOT save the source code onto a disk, and all the hard work coding was lost...Now i am back and i'm trying to regain what is lost. Tomorrow i shall release Ultimate Devastation MOD and at the meantime you can take a look at the few screenshots i've taken. L8r.
