Subject: [ut3servers] UT3 v1.2 Beta 1 Now Available
Importance: High
We've separated the webadmin application from the core game patch to permit
faster iteration and updates to this critical feature.
While we feel pretty good about this patch, we're calling it beta for
the time being. Please don't distribute it beyond your own servers or make
it generally available to the public.
This patch can be applied to both a client and a dedicated server.
Patched and non-patched clients and servers should be fully compatible.
There are no known issues with applying this patch on a v1.1 patched
client/server, but if stability is critical, it's safest to reinstall the
retail client/dedicated server prior to installing.
This patch includes all v1.1 fixes.
Fix list:
V1.2
Gameplay:
- Increased UTGame MaxPlayersAllowed to 64.
- Fixed leviathan turret instant refire exploit.
- Fixed errant lock on warnings when no longer in vehicle.
- Fixed first person weapons in demo playback.
- Fixed translocator telefrag victim message.
- Fixed encouragement sounds not being randomly picked by bots.
- Implemented viewobjective spectating system for Warfare.
- Fixed berserk held by driver applying to all vehicle turrets.
- Only force low gore on German versions that were low gore only
before being patched.
- Fix for unnecessary content staying in memory on seamless travel.
- Fixed shaped charge node exploit.
User Interface:
- Clicking on the settings tab goes to directly to the full settings
menu.
- Added VOIP speaker portraits to HUD.
- Fixed character portraits sometimes not showing up on HUD or not
staying up long enough.
- The Host server menus will no longer disable internet options if
CheckNatTypeDisplayError returns true. It's just a warning now.
- Fixed the CD key always prompting when the user has no network
card
- Added support for commandline log in -login=xxx -password=xxx.
This also allows Gamespy comrade and other external applications to be used
to launch network clients.
- Added UI option to hide objective paths (the white arrows).
- Added UI option to enable joystick support.
- Added JOIN to midgame menu when spectating.
- Added cancel button to "logging in" message box.
- Added support for auto-updating UI with new options.
- Improved language support for French, Spanish, Italian, and
German.
- Joystick key bindings in UI display properly.
- Added game and UI support for customizing crosshair scaling.
- Added "Add Favorite" button to Server Browser server list tab.
- Fixed favorites Tab Page server details not updating.
- Improvements to voice menu. Added "status" section.
- Leave "Disconnect" and "Exit Game" on the mid game menu when
seamlessly travelling so that players have a way to abort lengthy downloads
- Show "Change Team" button before the match has started.
- Added support for localized "single score needed" string.
- Tweaked some HUD message font sizes.
- Favorites/History lists list servers that are currently offline.
- Favorites/History lists don't stop working as the number of
servers in them crosses max threshold for GS query.
- Fix for end of round scoreboard displaying extra "Player" bots.
- Fixed leviathan deploy icon positioning.
Networking:
- Added support for autodownloading packages while in gameplay or
while travelling.
- Auto team re-balancing before map transition if
bPlayersBalanceTeams is set.
- Fixed dedicated server memory leaks.
- Force client state synchronization when in spectating state.
Fixes sporadic issues with players not being able to join games.
- Fixed sounds not being heard correctly by clients if the sound
location is the Actor's location and the Actor is not relevant to that
client.
- Fixed spectators being unable to move after a level transition.
- Fixed track turrets being in the wrong position on clients in some
cases after being destroyed.
- ConnectionTimeout and InitialConnectTimeOut now both 60.0.
Addresses both clients failing connection because they take too long to load
a level, and initial connections staying open too long.
- Fixed HTTP download compression.
- Fixed a bug where download during seamless travel would break
because the downloader was keeping a pointer into the package map's list,
which is unsafe while the game is in progress because that list could have
more items added to it (and thus the memory rearranged) at any time
- Fixed a bug where in rare cases packages would get downloaded
twice.
- Fixed spectators able to enter as extra players in Duel.
- Fixed issue where CTF, vCTF, and WAR maps are listed in the server
browers when searching for a DM game when server changed gametypes.
- Fixed bots not replicating their view pitch, so their animation
looks better in net games.
- Strip OwningPlayerName= from the URL, as this is determined
elsewhere and was breaking dedicated internet servers launched from the UI.
- Fixed package downloading not moving on to the next download
method if it successfully downloads the file, but that file is not the
version that the server is requesting.
- Fixed client crash if the user disconnects while downloading a
file during a seamless travel.
Server administration:
- TCPLink and Webadmin functionality implemented.
- Banning is now based on CD key hash, so players can't circumvent
bans by creating a new profile.
- Fixed being unable to kickban players with | in their names.
- Added versioning information to the game settings
- Dedicated servers don't require DirectX shader model 2.0
- Fixed AdminForceTextMute and AdminForceTextUnmute.
- Restored the compress and decompress commandlets.
- Fixed AdminCmdOk() function not working properly if you were the
listen server.
- Banned IDs readability improved.
- Added MaxClientTravelTime config option to GameInfo. If set,
clients are kicked if they take longer than this many seconds to travel
between maps.
Mod support:
- Added ScriptedTexture, a type of render to texture that gives
Canvas access to script/C++ for rendering custom overlays.
- Added a version of DrawTile() to Canvas that takes a Texture
instead of Texture2D so render to texture stuff like ScriptedTextures can
more easily be used.
- Added Timestamp function to UObject, returns a string in the
format YYYY/MM/DD - HH:MM:SS
- Weapons now take roll from player viewrotation.
- Fixed custom character DLC not applying until the next time the
game is run because the default object was not updated after combining the
.ini files.
- Added a ModFamilies array to UTCustomChar_Data to allow mod
authors to add families to the list.
- Fixed Change Node Status Kismet action not working on fully
constructed powernodes.
- Merged ageia particle fixes.

starting point.

bot's weapon.

more.
- Tweaked campaign auto skill adjust.
- Possible safe fix for bot navigation issues with
staticmeshcollections on console. Also a performance improvement on PC and
console.
- Tweaked rules for whether to attack node or enemy first.
- Improved bot AI for defending nodes with an orb.
- Fixed pathing issues that were causing bots to get stuck in some
places. When a move fails, force a route refresh. Add cost to reachspecs
when bot fails repeatedly.
- Improved AI code for adjusting around obstacles. If adjust left
and right fail, try moving to center of reachspec.
- If previous move failed, don't allow "advanced tactics"
(serpentine, etc.) for next move.
- Added FailedMoveTarget and MoveFailureCount to controller to track
movement failures.
- Added bForceNoDetours to UTBot. Don't allow detours when bot is
approaching a neutral node (more important to touch node first).
- Fixed bots thinking they've reach the orb spawner without quite
getting there and touching the orb.
- Fixed cases where bots could get stuck failing to translocate over
and over - bots know to give up now.
- Adjusted bot reaction time to seeing new enemies.
- Improved bot AI for dealing with lifts and hoverboards.
- Bots taunt after winning a match.
- Bots now can be fooled by feign death.

Not sure if you know.
When a player that is not patched and running 1.1 goes into our Server that
is now patch 1.2, they crash the server.
I know you do not want to distribute this patch, But I hope you have a fix
soon.
here we go.....
Server has crashed loads
also i can not read text from un patched players
There's dozens of errors on it. It's buggier then the original game.
So don't d/l this please, just wait for the real thing.
