Derez/Team Derez Multiplayer Maps on tron20.net

on Monday, November, 10, 2003 7:56 PM
Touchdown Entertainment has created a mod pack featuring 3 multiplayer maps with two new game modes, Derez and Team Derez (that's Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch, for the tronically-challenged), available for download at www.tron20.net.

Important Notes:

1) You must have MS Windows XP installed

2) You must have the v1.030 update installed.

3) Your previously saved games will not work once the mod pack is installed.

4) This version is US English only - the International version will be released shortly.

5) You will not see multiplayer games running the v1.030 update, only multiplayer games with the XP mod pack (aka v1.040) installed.order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

Although I'm sure it's not supported, you can find work arounds for the "XP only" thing at the Tron 2.0 forums.
People there have gotten it to work with 9x,ME,etc...
You can also access v1.3 servers after you install the update by renaming gamep5 and gamep6 to something else or moving them to a different folder. Then it's only a matter of putting them back.
As I said B4, you can find all of this at the tron 2.0 forums, and I am not smart enough to have figured any of it out myself. where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

Update installer for other versions of Windows

on Tuesday, November, 11, 2003 10:51 PM
If you don't have Windows XP, go to http://scorpius.spaceports.com/~tron/ and download an installer for this version 1.040 update that will work on any version of Windows. No, this installer is not an official one, but the update it installs is identical, and it does work. It is certainly better than not being able to play in games with Tron users who have Windows XP.

No matter which v1.040 installer you use, you must first download and install http://transfer.go.com/cgi/transfer.dll?srvc=dis&goto=http://bvinteractive.go.com/TP/tron-update_v1x2_complete.exe&name=buenavistagames_tron_patch before installing the v1.040 update.

Alternate update download locations

on Wednesday, November, 12, 2003 5:24 PM
I just found out that my website at http://scorpius.spaceports.com/~tron which hosted the v1.040 update installer for all Windows versions was disabled because it exceeded the monthly bandwidth limits of 1GB per month. Given that the update is less than 20MB, apparently a lot of Tron 2.0 users needed it. (See, BVI?! Making the update exclusive to Windows XP was a stupid thing to do.)

So, if you need the v1.040 update installer for all versions of Windows, you can download it from http://www.3dgamers.com/dl/games/tron2/Thirdparty/tron-update_v1x3-noxp.exe.html .

I would also like some additional mirror sites though because 3DGamers' sites get maxed out quite frequently. If you host the file, please respond in this thread with the download location so people will know where to get it.

You can also download the update from http://www.boxhat.com/tronforum/misc/Tron%202.0%20v1040.exeorder abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

Mixed movie metaphors aside, maps are the one thing which users can make for themselves using the tools. So, take advantage of them and make some maps! Others have already made lightcycle and discarena maps. Making derez maps is not that much harder if any.

Link to the site and link to the download taken from 2.0 forums.

I have the map, but rarely see it being played online.

Discarena is pointless.

I fail to see the point or fascination of discarena especially now that derez is available. Discarena is simply derez mode with only a single-weapon and a waiting line to play. Derez can be played with just the disc weapon as well (although the maps would have to have no other weapon pickups to enforce it) and there is no wait between deaths.

So, people who create discarena maps should convert them for derez play. To do this, first create an INFO.TXT file for your map. Be sure to at least specify the "disc" as the default weapon, i.e. DefaultPrim0 = "disc". Use an existing INFO.TXT file like DM-01INFO.TXT as a template.

Current discarena maps can already be played in derez mode since both modes can use ArenaStartPoints as spawn points although having the segmented/isolated arenas prevents players from moving between them. So, to make all of the arenas in a discarena map available, simply place teleporters in them. To do this, place a "TeleportPoint" object in the map you want to be the teleporter destination. Then place a "PlayerTrigger" object where you want the player to teleport from. Set the "numberofactivations" on the trigger to 0 so there will be no limit to the number of times it can be used. Set the "command" for the trigger to "msg teleport ". So, if your teleportpoint destination is "teleportpoint0", the command would be "msg teleport teleportpoint0".

Finally, place the map and its INFO.TXT file into the WORLDS\RETAILMULTIPLAYER\DEATHMATCH subdirectory inside the REZ file for it.

Whether or not you should place other or any weapons in the converted map really depends on the map. If the discarena map is small or uses the breakable cubes, having just the default disc, the sequencer, and/or the cluster disc may be all that is appropriate.

I agree that it would be cool for the DiscArena maps to be converted. However Derez isn't the same as DA at all. Personally I don't really see the interest in Derez. Basically its the same routine combat that you can get from any of the other FPS's out on the market. DA is truly unique and offers something special.
Though I can't complain as I do enjoy a few rounds of derez now and then.
