Hyper, i need you help with this. In your new server, you need to save to my user.ini file. But if i set read only to off, my name gets messed up and the dot above my a in WarLord disappears. If i set read only to on, i cant save my score on your server. Do you know why this happens and/or what i can do about it? :?

Another problem is the Exorcist monster. It almost always craters you instead of killing you normally,and they spawn often. This is a problem because if one is in the restart point of the level they kill everyone and takes all their frags.

The exorcist problem has to do with the momentrumtransfer of the projectile it shoots. I noticed this myself when playing against one. Depending on how you are hit it can transfer momentum to you in a very strong downward (-Z) rate. In effect unreal counts your death as a fall crater suicide.

Hyper, changing the momentumtransfer of that monster's projectile may help. I don't know about preventing it in JCoopZ though. Maybe I can come up with something to lessen that while still retaining the crater suicide behavior.

User.ini problem:

This might be the solution: Disable read-only and join my server so it can be updated with your player security information. Play for some time and when you stop playing you can restore your special name and make the file read-only again. Now it contains both your special name and the security information for the GemDagger and inventory travel.

About the exorcist:

I don't have an option to change the momentumtransfer, but I recommend players to buy the iron boots "resay don't toss me around please" that make you so heavy that you can't be cratered again.

Command: "set <projectilename> momentumtransfer #"
That may or may not work depending if the exorcist spawns at level start.

One problem with unreal's fall landing is that players can already be grounded and still be cratered if a projectile has enough momentumtransfer. Maybe those iron boots can prevent that if what they do can prevent the false ground landing.

For JCoopZ I beleive I've come up with a way to lessen groundwalk cratering when hit by monsters. If it doesn't effect anything in a bad way and works well in testing the change will be included for a future update.
