I believe most of you have heard of UFO2000, which is a multiplayer modification of X-Com: ufo defence. so I was thinking why not make a tournament right here on abandonia? depending on how many people turn up we can either make it with grid or olympic system.
I suggest we use the 0.6.627 version, since it's the one most of you have allready, and there is allways a link to it on the page.
unfortunately we'll have to use thir server (lxnt.info:2000) , because somwhere along the way U2k lost the ability to act as one (it had one back in the 0.4x-es, along with LAN and IPX)
all the game should be deathmatches with standard rules (15000 points, 15 men team limit, level 3 explosives, level 1 exploration, 240 second time limit).

oh, I forgot to mention- we're open for new Ideas, so if you think somethink isn't right (or missing), post about it.


PLAYER LIST:
-a1s
-abi 79
-Duckpatch
-horeseman
-Fawful
-moogle (?)

No it didn't, just use the included ufo2000-srv.exe on the game folder, then put the server's IP on the Login window for multiplayer.

indeed. silly me. allthoug it's still a spearte server application and you have to run the game to connect.

I like this. I'm in ! :ok:

EDIT: a1s, your link is wrong. UFO2000's homepage: http://ufo2000.sourceforge.net/

Yeh i wanna play aswell!!!

Why not. Will be fun to re-hash old memories while playing in a new way...

By the way, it seems like it would be actually a bit better to use the most recent beta, even just because of the added features:

I already use the beta version. It doesn't crash, but on my computer I haven't got any sound until they will fix that bug. (it's strange that on my mother's computer the sound works with this version)

they change betas as fast as I change socks (well maybe a wee bit slower...), I would really hate if we would all end up with diffrent version. :sneaky:

:ot: (sort of) what is it with the new weapon set (I donloaded the beta 26 on monday to try it), wasn't this supposed to be a muliplayer mod for C-COM?

Can I join? :D

If I can team up with Tom....LOL
Us small fuizzy creatures gotta stick togerther!! ^_^

uh... unless they altered this in the new versions it's a 1 on 1 game, sorry moogle. you still want in?

a bit late, but:

On the equipment screen just click on F5 to change the weaponset until it changes to Original X-Com Set. The new weapons are to allow for more variety in gameplay (though they're pretty similiar) and also a step in breaking away from X-Com (this means not needing UFO/TFTD installed to get it to run, NOT abandoning the X-Com concept).

allright guys, I think we've waited long enough,what do you say we get this thing started? since there are only 6 of us, I think we should do grid (everyone figts against each oponent)

ohhh, stupid me, ummm....ya maybe, lemme know if you get together and a certain time, I might be able to make it, might not tho.

I'm ready. :Titan:

I couldn't get the server I set up on my computer to accept connections, so we'll have to use the official one. here are the first pairs:
a1s Vs Moogle
abi 79 Vs Fawfulhasfury
duckpatch Vs 5th Horseman
disscuss the time with your oponenet through PM, and when you finish, PM me with the results (so that I could update the grid). this round should be finished by 10th of september.

May I join in?

Duckpatch has not answered my PM on arranging the game. If A1s agrees, you could jump instead of him.

Okies. :ok:

uh... sure go ahead.
moogle decided he didn't want to either.
and neither abi nor fawsful have said a thing.

Sure I'll play. I installed that UFO 2000 thing today. (You probably realised because of that My Surroundings thread). Umm... Which X-Com are we playing? I've only got UFO: Enemy Unknown.

I'm PMed Fawfulhasfury two times, but he always said he hasn't got time since the school started, so I'm alone.

Awww, that's ok. Just wait until someone notices the thread.

I might as well play with you.
PM me about the time (I sould be available 15-22 GMT on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends)

Ok. Thanks. I'll still wait until monday because I don't know my schedule yet.

HOLD UP!!! I'm back!!! So sorry!!!! OK who do I play? Horseman still?

My timezone is 10hours in front (Australia)....

My is GMT+1. And we could not come to any definite result with Bobbin.

I just downloaded this game last night. I've played 5 matches..... and I NEED more. ;)

Who wants to play? Anyone free tonight? Im in Eastern Standard Time.

This game gets a two thumbs up. Its nice to see people construct the game everyone wants.... free multiplayer... :ok:

This thing still going ahead?

I'd like to join in, west coast USA time.

I think the whole thing just fell apart.

seems like it, but i am just being safe ;)

Count me for any tipe of ufo2000 constest, GTM -3 and love to play around 4AM

It's dead, man. Dead.

:cry: And waht if we try to start it agan?

id like to join but i dunno how

Did you not read it it says DEAD.

I see a lot of revival here, and this combined with the topic-deadness makes it very fit for closage.

how about we compromise- whoever wants to be in charge of the turney, can just open a new thread.

Than lets start it up

"than lets cloze it and do as mc sais." :tai: :tai: :tai:
Gaah, I'm sick of this language.
By the way, when the next round starts, count me in. I'm going
to have to practice a little more, though.

It is dead. Admin please close this unless it is revived with in 24hour.

that's a contardiction:
either it's dead- and then there is no point closing it,
or it should be closed beacuse of spam/inaproprianess/whatever else theread get closed for and the it's quite UNdead.

as for my personal opinion- we should close it, to encourage a fresh start for the people who keep disturbing this not-quite-dead-yet thread.
