Holy molly I remember playing this years ago! Now this wonderful Christmas Gift comes out of nowhere. Thank you for your work.
Glad you can enjoy it cdstk and thank you for leaving this note! I've been adding vehicles to to the pack that I thought would be fun to play with in ONS, and especially VCTF.
The Mega-Truck itself will get an update after I get some feedback on it. I still need to complete the "teleport players" capability (it will eventually allow players to launch a teleport beacon and then teleport between it and the Mega-Truck), and adjust some of the damage effects.
Really cool stuff, glad that someone still cares enough to release something like that.
I think the Mega-Truck is amazing btw, it reminds me of a project from Xyx, i think it was, who wanted to make a gigantic aircraft with ion cannons and landing bays for other aircraft, except it never got made, sadly.
So seeing something like this actually working, is really amazing. :D
Hope you keep going with whatever you have planned. :)
Thanks D3l3rium! It was fun to work on the Mega-Truck (and all of the other vehicles), I only wish I'd worked on this 10+ years ago when UT2k4 had a bit more of an audience.
Hah, you are not the only one, I am not a programmer or anything but I got the game in 2004 and didn't play online until 2008, played other games obviously, but 2008 was kinda the year I started discovering all the mods, that just made the game the best I ever played, for me.
I never owned any other game that had as many mods and ingame modifications as UT2004.
Sadly never got to the part of making mods.. even though i wanted, guess im just not good with those things.
Even when I was inspired by this project a long time ago, I learned something from your code)
Thank you for your contribution to MODDING UT2004!
Just commented on your update as well, nice work, even though its not done yet. UIPv1 is still a lot of fun. :)
Hey UberSoldier! Glad you were able to learn some stuff from my mod too! Your tank pack is looking pretty great!
This mod is incredible and I love using these vehicles in Onslaught. However, the tanks in Assault, at least in Robot Factory where I tested, aren’t replaced. Are those different tanks? Or does this pack only work on Onslaight?
Thanks.
Hi gameragodzilla, unfortunately I totally overlooked making the mod work in AS (as I never really tried to swap out the vehicles). I downloaded the Vehicle Invasion gametype two weeks ago and realized the problem when I tried to play in AS-Confexia. I've got the code fixed to work in ONS and AS and it will be in the next release.
Yes, these vehicles are ace especially like the megatruck and transport chopper.
Also the motorcycle (FPS view is crazy ;)
The jetpack recreation from SotE of yours is a treat as well.
Also look into the Helix ESV: Youtube.com

A few issues I noticed:
Area damage weapons can kill the driver and passengers of the mega truck.
The jump boost can be used to give a speed boost to the mega truck.
The Abrams and Hummer top guns shoot very slowly (slower than the previous version).
The gas and brake pedals on the IFAV move at the same time.
Thanks for trying it out and leaving feedback. I'd like to get one more release out.
1. Yeah, I was not quite sure how to handle the area damage just yet for the driver of the MegaTruck. I think I can perform a basic check to see if the damage source was inside the command cabin versus outside and then either ignore or scale down the damage (simulating armor absorption by the truck).
2. Given how easily the MegaTruck gets stuck on level geometry, I may just leave the speed boost side-effect in... also I kind of found it fun to jump the canals in a VCTF conversion of ONS-Minus :)
3. I can bump the firing rate back up, but since the damage level was so high for the .50 cal MGs I thought slowing it down a bit might be bit better for balance... not that anything else in this mod is all that well balanced. Also, from my experience ~20 year ago, the M2 MG does actually fire kind of slow (its got a short-recoil blowback operating mechanism with a massive bolt-block) as compared to gas-operated MGs like the lighter M240 (on the Falcon and LAV25 IFV in this mod. I'd be open to upping the rate again by a bit.
4. Yeah I tried to fix it once but I think I it may be based on how the brake and reverse input boolean variables are handled by the vehicle controls. I'll have another go at it in the next release.
Do you ever plan to add a electric JLTV or make electric military vehicles? I'm asking this because it would be a nice ending to the vehicle pack - the older vehicles getting replaced by newer and more efficient ones.
Pretty happy to see this updated, did yo also updated YARM?
Not yet. I'm slowly working on implementing the UT3 style hand model system in YARM (where the hand models can be swapped out to match the player's model). This is slow work and requires redoing every single weapon model animation from scratch with a new skeletal rig setup. We'll see how long it takes....
Gosh, that sounds painful
Good luck!
Great to see a update to it and that your still planning on 1 more update :D.
I still had a version of 2014 lying arround but then somebody told me there was a new release for it.
However i found a bug and idk if u know it already but the player offsets are wrong for a lot of vehicles as a example in the choppers half of the body is hanging out of the vehicle :p.
Also i recall finding a jet of some kind in the 2014 version is there any change that would ever see the light of day?
Edit: It turns out custom player models who use there own animation set dont have the new animations implmented for thirdperson all stock ut2004 models work fine but models like Liandri troopers give a error and hang half way out of the vehicle
I wanted to ask you, are you still working on the Bagger Bucket Wheel Excavator?
As a tireless UT2004 fan, I hope this will happen someday. x)
Hi Virgile. Yeah, I've been working on the Bagger on and off. I've done a fair bit of texture work (making a couple large texture sheets I can map model parts to), but I'm kinda stuck on how to make the lower base look (trying to make it interesting enough to almost be its own 1-vs-1 level). Also, getting the collision to work on the upper supporting arm to allow players to walk on it turned out be more problematic that I initially anticipated. I've at least got the basic concept for the vehicle down now; the basic "terrain digging" code is mostly done; I've got jumpads and teleporters that can be attached to it to allow for more varied movement around the vehicle.
Thanks for your answer!

Will you add AH-64 Apache and Hind Mi-24 helicopters too?
