i think what ra4man meant is that the feeling & gameplay of q4max/clan arena is nearly as rocket arena 4.
if i played it a little time ago, it was just fun. it showed what quake4 can be. and after playing clan arena i thought theres no need of ra4 anymore. its a good alternative to play it on ra4 maps.
i hope and wish you integrate a gamemodus of rocket arena in your upcoming new release of your mod GTR, Bandit! because its fun.
Jesus... calm down... if you want a list of RA4 servers all you have to do is use the search feature on this site? I compiled a list of hundreds of them ages ago:
hehehe, overall from people I have seen (and i have seen many) Ra is one of the most popular mods. But from this post---guess no modder should use it :P but then again, my mod spawns the player with all weapons so it brought up the name. RA is one of hte most talked about, and I have had a server that has enjoyed 16 people on it ona daily basis for 1.5 years.
But I came across a post by the deveoper of ra and he stated that he developed a mod that "he would want to play" so it made sense. Nothing wrong with a modder making amod that he would like to play. People who say otherwise are probably full of shit, creating things is a personal venture no matter how they try to hide it in the social ideal.
damn this got my hopes up. I miss ra4. they should atleast update the game to 1.4.2 or pass the code to someone willing to continue it. plssss CRT bring it back.
Did they even release RA3 1.8 yet? If they ever release a 1.4.2 compatible RA4 it wont be until they finish RA3 1.8 - which is the only reason I wanted to see them complete it in the first place.
The whole "multiple concurrent game arenas" thing is a pretty major change to the way the game works and would be a pretty significant rewrite (see how much effort RA took to create). The closest thing in Q4 is rvTourney, and you know our views on that. You couldnt just merge the code into Q4Max, it'd be a re-implement job.
Yea - it was me who made the comparison originally ;)
I'm sure the RA4 team probably reused logic from tourney in RA4, since thats kinda the logical way to try and do the whole multiple arena thing.
Except that it doesnt fit the model well so you'd also end up rewriting lots of boilerplate stuff too, because rvTourney should have been implemented differently from the beginning rather than bolted on. It was a good idea, but done badly :|
This is why I've always refused to consider the idea of multiple arenas in Q4Max, and is probably one of the things that caused the RA4 guys hassle.
Well they released three different betas. I never had the chance to play any of them, but didn't they have the multi-arena thing taken care of in them?
ra3 1.8 probably never will be out no, I think that might have something to do with every tiny little aspect of the mod being utterly retarded. You have the devs, the fact that what should be a mode has been turned into an entire mod, the absolutely weak feature set (oh you made brightskins? Good job, any only a few years too late.) and who could forget the monstrously retarded community (read some of the replies of this moron for examples). It is quite staggering.
