TR2N Origins 4.4 Release

[Destiny&Manta]

Just FYI for those interested, not a flame thread.

It's been three months since we first launched TR2N Origins. We know it's been kinda slow starting, but we listened to what everyone had to say about the game and we put all the features in that we could. Since the first release 3 months ago, we have been very busy and these are the new features that have been added since the first release.

A movie pack menu that allows you to pick one of 23 pre-installed movie packs with extra slots to put your own into the game. Changing the look is easy to do right in game in the graphics menu.

Bored with the same old cycle? Well, play the game on a jet-ski or other movie pack specific vehicles.

Tail transparencies have been addressed so the tails are not clear. Tails can be previewed in the player settings as you set your color, tail styles change with movie packs.

Colors can be chosen using the new color picker. The tail and bike are chosen separately so you have the full range of vibrant colors for both items. This is no longer an exploit of the color bug.

The menu was revamped with a control panel look and options to turn off music was added.

The rubber meter can be reversed with the toggle switch, so you can pick from the default tr2n rubber meter or use the classic arma rubber meter.

The rubber meter is part of the fully customizable HUD. You can easily move all of the control items to wherever you choose on the screen or turn them off; you can change their color and size as well. The game also comes with 5 preset HUD's to make changing up the feel of the game quick and easy if you don't feel like customizing yourself.

Authentication is now optional, you can still authenticate but anonymous play is also allowed.

Like those "l33t" letters? using them in-game is simple, just press the chat key then alt. A menu comes up and gives you the key combo to put the letters into your name or into your chat in game.

Want badges? The badge challenge system will be released very soon on the TR2N Origins forum. You activate your challenge on the forum and the game tracks it automatically and when you reach your goal, your badge is placed into your profile. Check out the profiles next time you are on the tr2n origins forum.

Tourneys happen every Saturday night at 6 pm EST, there are different modes each weekend. Pickup games will be starting soon as well, so hang out on IRC to catch the fun.

Many other behind the scenes development went into the game with both servers and client to take a pro-active course against the issues that contribute to lag.

Come try out the latest release of TR2N Origins available in Windows, Linux and Mac!!

How about compatibility? And working openly in cooperation with us?

No, but https://code.launchpad.net/tr2norigins and restoring the original protocols(minus actual changes to them) involved would.

I haven't looked at the color transfer code, but if they did it properly, then that makes matters even more complicated (And they should have done it properly, the only reason we're not doing it is because it's hard to maintain backwards compatibility, something they don't need to be concerned about). Anyways, in the t2o compatibility hack branch, we could reasonably support that change (apart from the fact that we should ignore the effect, of course), it's hacky already anyway.

A few months ago you said the ban I was never supposed to have in the first place, would be lifted, it still isn't lifted. So I can't try out the new version, sorry.

[Nelhybel]

Love it!
The graphics are superb, and the features make it very enjoyable to play!

[ItzAcid]

[TaZ]

Destiny and her team have done a great job of improving this. If you haven't used the custom moviepacks they have made, then you have to try it out.

I have. Some are mine.

Of the two sets I downloaded off their forum, 6 of the 8 were, in fact.

i really liked it great movie packs. makes the game more fun to play. Also (idk if this was optional before) I saw the option to revert to the classic rubber meter that doesnt go backwords. /hi5

When browsing through the moviepacks in the menu, it takes a long time because of lag.

Just wondering if it's because of my computer, or if it does that to everyone? Not that it affects gameplay, just curious.

Also: I love the way you can change the colors on the HUD so easily. Whoever suggested that feature must be a genius.

Perhaps someone from tr2n could help her out.
