DOWNLOAD: QUICK OVERVIEW: Old Skool Monsta Toolz (OSMT) is a mod/add-on for UT2004 that is designed to reintroduce the complex old skool Unreal monster AI and it's related actors for use in any gametype. These tools mimic the original Unreal actors and settings so that "old timers" can easily pick it up and "newcomers" have lots of online reference documentation already available. The toolset also includes a new gametype, OSM Adventure (OSM), which makes use of all classes in the toolset to facilitate story-driven adventures through progressive Objectives comprised of puzzles, traps and monsters. PROJECT AIM: The project's aim is to allow the vast community of UT2004 mappers to create maps that take advantage of this well-designed AI scheme in any gametype, especially in story-driven SinglePlayer and CoOperative adventures.

Posted by on

OSMT v.1.5 Beta is being tested publicly at the UnrealPlayground forums (OSMT subforum). Progress towards a significant update has continued behind the scenes on and off now since the release of v.1.4 (way back at the end of 2006!).

When I say significant, I'm talking about bug fixing and improvements to aspects such as Follow behavior & combat AI, more realistic gore, as well as new stock creatures, a flashlight system, and a few extra goodies I'm not revealing at the moment. The 1.5 version is planned to be the final installment of this mod, a haymaker finishing move before I move on to UT3 finally.

Those wishing to take part in testing the improvements and new features already implemented should head over to UnrealPlayground forums and post a "me too!" on this thead. There you can also check out the extensive list I posted of new things to test. There is an official OSMT beta testing thread within the OSMT subforum that will continue to be used as a depository of all the tester comments.

Tentative plan is to use this public testing in a final push to complete OSMT v.1.5 by end of the year. Old Skool Monsta Toolz is the UT2004 toolset for implementing complex AI in any gametype, including a custom gametype (OSM Adventure) that allows for singleplayer and cooperative story-driven adventures, or even whole new game prototypes.
