Your ship has crash landed on an unknown planet. Look around. Crystal clear water shimmers. Shadows shift. Alien architecture fades into the horizon. Darkness falls. Walkways glow. Godless temples beckon. You are afraid. You are in the real world... but it is like no world you have ever known. You are an uninvited guest in the fastest, sleekest, most beautiful 3D world ever created. Live it. Breathe it. Survive it.

Unreal. Alter your reality...forever.

Unreal turns 20!

Just a small reminder that today it is 20 years ago that Unreal was released in North America. Happy Birthday, Unreal!

Server/website downtime

After the last scheduled network outage of my ISP ZeelandNet I ended up with an unreliable internet connection causing random dropouts. Therefore I am unable to provide you with a reliable online presence. I am sorry, but this is currently beyond what I can fix myself. I made a support request which is currently outstanding with my ISP. I hope it will be fixed next week.

Update: A network technician of my ISP did maintenance on my connection and no outages have occurred since.

UnrealPSX Prequel released

Leo (T.C.K.) released a prequel to his Unreal PSX conversion / rework map pack. The map pack is called Episode 0 and is intended to be played before the earlier released Episode 1 part 1. The maps can be played in single player and in coop mode. Visit the forum link below for screenshots.

Leo (T.C.K.) at the NewbiesPlayground forums:

---

Episode 0 was planned maybe just as a coverdisc demo for the game, so this is yet another demo and I'm working towards 2018 release of Episode 1 Part 2 and then the rest should come faster. (episode 1 part 2 required the most work - most maps are missing etc)

So this is kind of an interlude and taste of things to come, in fact I planned to release upb-misc2 just as part of that, but it took so long that episode 0 got released earlier than part 2 of episode 1.

Story:

---

You and your bounty hunter partner Fay have been sent for training at the newest virtual reality simulation with Hari overseeing your training.

If you fail, you won't have a chance getting the sweet deal... Which involves going into where the Vortex Rikers prison ship  crashed.

Your mission: take down all the escaped convicts you can find, recapture the three rogue AIs that were also on board, and find the only way off the planet: a heavily guarded gravity lift up to one of the planet's moons, where a drop-ship will take you home.

Hard Crash map pack released

After more than ten years of development, §ìlvèr§èrpënt/Xer06siX released the final version of his coop / single player map pack Hard Crash. The beta version has been successfully running for many years at my custom map server and I'm glad the release version finally has seen the light of day.

Xer06siX at the OldUnreal forums:

OldUnreal Forum Thread

Upgrade finished

Well, I've had as much downtime as uptime last week. First with the broken SSD, then a lightning strike zapped my cable internet outlet, and last day I received my replacement SSD which allowed me to continue the reinstallation of the server. By now, everything runs fine and I also took the opportunity to make image backups of the new server installation. This was my last system still running under a Windows NT 5.x class OS. I hope Windows 7 x64 will run as reliable as XP x64 has been.

I hope this will end the downtime for the foreseeable future.
 

Extended downtime due to OS Upgrade and broken SSD

Because I finally wanted to upgrade my server's OS from Strong and Stable to Windows 7, I ordered a new SSD (Mushkin Reactor 480GB) and a Windows 7 license. (Windows 7 is too big for my old 120 GB SSD + server data)

Yesterday I received both but after a day of struggling I must conclude that the SSD is completely broken. The drive continues to corrupt data and show bad blocks/sectors.


It should be clear that I'll never be able to host a reliable server from this drive, so I removed it from the system, popped in my trusty old Kinston SSD and booted fine again on the old OS. For now, everything runs fine again.

By the time the disk has been replaced, I will need to re-install everything again. Sorry for the extended interruptions.
 

Back from the dead: Unreal Secret Area Guide

Thanks to the help of OldUnreal forum member Mahem I was able to add Røb_KC - A.K.A SnakeBite's Unreal Secret Area guide to the archive. The original site went down some time ago so it is nice we have a working copy now.

Old forum saved

To my surprise I saw that my old forum has come back online. I do not know for how long. It could be days or years, I was not able to get a reply back from BrakeDanceJ.  The unexpected uptime gave me the opportunity to save archive the entire forum to a static HTML site which I can host here. I also took the effort to manually(!) save all pages of 1000+ forum threads to the Internet Archive as second backup.

Scheduled network outage

At Tuesday September 20, 00.00 to 07.00 (CEST, +2 GMT) my network connection can be cut off due to planned network maintenance by my ISP ZeelandNet. In GMT this is from 22.00 on September 19 to 05.00 on September 20. This will cause the game servers, this website and the master server to be inaccessible.

New forum

As you probably noticed by now, my old forum is gone. This originally began as Winged Unicorn's forum for his MCoop2 projects and when Winged left I took over the contents for my own forum. BrakeDanceJ of UnrealDestination.com provided me with reliable forum hosting for years but recently it went down.

Instead of bothering BrakeDanceJ with another support request I decided to restart the forum at OldUnreal. Most people of the community already have accounts here and my forum became too quiet already to require everyone to re-register. None of the old content will be ported over, but you are free to continue here about anything regarding Hyper.nl Unreal Services. I'm already at least as active at the OldUnreal forums as I was at my own forums, so there will be no decrease in my contributions. I'll start with just one board. The old forum was very quiet already and OldUnreal already has a large section of boards about anything Unreal.

Thanks Smirftsch for the new forum hosting!

Forum down

It looks like my small forum is down, which has been graciously and very reliably been hosted by BrakekDanceJ / UnrealDestination. I don't know if it will come back at it is quite some time ago that I had contact with him. I'll look into my options.

GigaCache released

GigaCache is the largest Unreal cache collection ever released. It has been carefully assembled over the years 2000 to 2016. Unreal Cache files (*.uxx) are downloaded expansion files in a special format for online play, which do not make version conflicts. Over the years I built up a huge collection of more than 30 GB Unreal cache files. It contains all kinds of maps, mods, skins, sounds textures and music from all kinds of Unreal servers. Having a cache like this allows you to connect to almost any server without downloading a single file. No downloads, no lag, no version conflicts.

*** GigaCache has some serious advantages and disadvantages and is intended for heavy users only. Please consider them before you download ***

Download an info at the Alchemist's Lab page.

Thanks again to Strategy-(Dog)- of NewbiesPlayground for providing me with hosting space for this huge download.

GigaCache is being prepared for release

Well, the (in)famous GigaCache project. It has been listed as 'end of experiment' for years now. Still players keep requesting a release of it from time to time which I always denied because I simply do not have the resources to host it reliably. But after a discussion at the OldUnreal forums I received a hosting offer by Strategy-(Dog)- of NewbiesPlayground which finally allows me to free the beast. At the moment of writing a large data transfer is slowly on the way from this server to NewbiesPlayground. When everything is set up I'll post an update right here.

Believe it or not, GigaCache will fly.

You may want to prepare yourself by updating your WinRAR or IZArc archivers to the latest versions because GigaCache will be shipped in the new highly efficient RAR5 format.

Links page updated

The links page received a long overdue update. Unfortunately many FreeWebs.com / Webs.com hosted sites have been removed because this hosting provider removed many inactive Unreal-related websites hosted there. When you have or know an Unreal (1) related website that is not mentioned yet, feel free to send me a notice so I can add it.

A few dead websites have been resurrected at the Unreal archive.

Unreliable connection (update)

My internet connection is currently unreliable causing my servers being inaccessible repeatedly. Everything in my local network works nicely so this is not something I can fix by myself. A notice has been sent to my ISP.

Update: Everything is online again.

Network outage

My ISP ZeelandNet.nl has had a network outage knocking my services offline. I'm sorry for the downtime.

Update: Connectivity has been restored after an outage of about 7 hours.

Note on inventory and score saving at the HyperCoop servers

Last months I received several e-mail messages from players whose inventories and scores got lost at the HyperCoop servers. I have not been able to help these players. I very well know that it sucks to lose everything because it contributes many hours of playing to build that impressive score and inventory. It is not unwillingness from my side that I am unable to help but these are inherent limitations of the Old Unreal game. Many other Unreal coop servers don't even *try* save your inventory to disk and the ones who do likely have similar limitations. If you cannot stand the risk of losing everything, you may want to look for another game with true user accounts like Guild Wars and many others.

For years, Unreal and my servers saved scores and inventories to the server's memory (RAM) only and players could easily steal each others work by logging on to their names. With the GemDagger, JCoopZ and Unreal 227's features my server attempts to at the same time save your inventory to disk at every map change and as well prevent other players from stealing it. Technically, this is quite a difficult job to achieve in a game that never supported this. The current situation is that it works, but only most of the time. This means that your inventory and score can get lost. For example when:

1. Playing from different computer from before with the same player name. (Or changing things on the computer like operating system and computer name)
2. Playing with another player name
3. If the server crashed/restarted before map change, all progress is only saved to last map change.
4. When your Unreal.ini and User.ini files are read-only or deleted at all.

Thank you for your understanding.
 

Get Unreal / Quake style console in Windows

I found a cool program that allows you to use a Quake / Unreal style ~ console in Windows. It is fully configurable with a custom background picture and fonts. Because it uses cmd.exe it has all the functionality of the DOS / Windows command prompt.



Download Windows Quake Style Console (WinQConsole)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/winqconsole/

Unreal console background image

You can configure it to bind to a key (combination) of your choice. Default is <WinKey> + <~>
It is not recommended to bind it to <~> alone because that will break Unreal's and Quakes console.

F.A.Q.

Q: How do I set a background image on the console?
A: Go to Start > (All) Programs > Windows Quake Console > Configure Console > Appearance


Q: How do I change the text colour?
A: You will need to set the text colour for the console in the shortcut properties you use to open the program. For example: Go to Start > (All) Programs > Windows Quake Console > Windows Quake Console. Right click on the shortcut, select properties. Click tab colors.

URPG released

Happy New Year everyone! May 2015 give you happiness, friendship and a good health.
 

Unpunisned dropped me a mail with the release version of his mod URPG, or Unreal RPG (Role Playing Game)

URPG transforms Unreal into a pseudo class-based RPG. Placing the class selection item in your inventory will allow you to choose between three classes of characters - each with a class-specific active effect and three skills usable at any point during gameplay.

The three types of classes are:
-Guard, assault class. Equivalent to a warrior.
-Survivor, recon class. Equivalent to a thief.
-Engineer, support class. Equivalent to a mage.

You can download it here. See the included readme file for more information on the mod.

Updated Klingon / Wooper map pack

I received an update to Klingon's and Wooper's surreal Unreal map pack. These are the weirdest maps you've ever seen! If you don't take Unreal too seriously, you can give them a try here.

Unreal Archives

A new website was launched that is definitely worth a mention: Unreal Archives. The primary goal of the site is to keep all user-built single player maps and map packs for Unreal, RTNP and Unreal Tournament consistently accessible and downloadable to everyone. All maps and map packs are downloadable and presented with screenshots and a good description.

Gamespy down. Probably forever.

It looks like the Gamespy master server is finally down, almost two months later than originally announced. If you have not done it already you should add the Unreal community master servers to your Unreal.ini settings. Read this article for details. Future releases of Unreal 227 will include the new master servers as well as an automatic updating system for the master server list.

Goodbye to a friend

Today I received the sad news that a very well respected member of the community, OldSparky of the -(Dog)- clan has passed away. I'll remember him as a very kind and friendly person and I'll certainly miss the great times I had withy him at the NewbiesPlayground servers and forums. Be in peace, friend!

You can leave a comment at the NewbiesPlayground or OldUnreal thread regarding his passing.

Unreal patch 225e dug up

Leo(T.C.K.) dug up an old Unreal patch version 225e which I didn't even know it existed. It was a beta patch which was released to server owners shortly before patch 225f was released. General usage is not recommended anymore but I know that some of you are interested in historical items regarding to Unreal so if you want it you can now download it from the patch archive.

Unreal 225e description:

---

[May 29, 1999, 10:08 pm ET]
An update by Epic's Tim Sweeney to the Unreal Technology page announces the release of a test Unreal 225e server patch, for server administrators only (a 225 general release is promised "in a few days"). Here's the deal:

This is a test version incorporating all of the latest server-side stability and performance improvements. It's backwards compatible with Unreal 224 clients. If you're running a 224 server and are experiencing performance or stability problems, please upgrade. If you experience any server problems or server crashes with 225, please email your Unreal.log file to unreal225@epicgames.com so we can investigate the problems. The results on our test server here at Epic indicate that this version is significantly faster (i.e. supports more players) than 224, and is more stable but I don't expect it to be perfect, because I rewrote about a thousand lines of server code to improve performance, and there will probably be some bugs to shake out.

Only download this if you are running an Unreal server: UnrealPatch225e.exe.

The general Unreal 225 patch for everybody including users will be available in a few days.

Important master server information

A master server is used to display the list of online game servers in the Unreal server browser. The GameSpy master server will go down at may 31st. To continue playing Unreal online after this date  you may need to add one or more of the Unreal community master servers to your Unreal.ini file. Unreal 227 already has a few of them by default but there have been some additions and changes. If you use an older version of Unreal you only have the GameSpy master server by default.

Please consult this article to add the Unreal community master servers to your Unreal installation. Future Unreal 227 releases will also have an updated master server list.

Update 2014/06/04: May 31st came and went and the Gamespy master server is still online. I would not count on it staying up for very long, but we'll have to wait and see.

HyperCoop updates

• I added the beautiful The Fifth Vortex map pack to the HyperCoop Custom Map server.
• The HyperCoop and HyperDM servers their bandwidth limits increased. The NetSpeed has been doubled to 40000. Because this is higher than the maximum that the NetSpeed command supports you only can add it manually to your User.ini file:
  
  [Engine.PlayerPawn]
  NetSpeed=40000
  
  A higher NetSpeed allows you to see more of the action in intense gameplay situations, with smoother projectile visuals and more fluid monster movements. You need a broadband (DSL/Calbe/Fibre) connection to use the additional bandwidth, otherwise it will cause nasty lag and packet loss. So only change this when you know what you're doing.

Downtime today

My ISP ZeelandNet had a big and long network outage today which brought my server down. As a side effect this resulted in Dot TK to remove my domain because they thought there was not an active website behind it and redirected my domain to a website with ads. Quite a mess. I contacted Dot TK support with the explanation and they gave me my domain back. I changed my domain to a paid domain in order to keep it for another 10 years. I hope that both a network outage this long as well as the Dot TK domain problem will not happen again. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. It gave me a lot of stress as well.

Random updates

• The domain transition is progressing quite well. Google is updating it's search index to find the pages at www.hypercoop.tk
• The HyperCoop servers have been updated with some new Aura items and monsters because Unreal 227j allows me to. There are also some interesting new additions to the in-game shop (gemdagger). For a price of course ;-).
• I added episode 1 of the beautiful Redeem your Space map pack to my custom map server. With Leo's translation it should be readable in English. (The Universal Translator fails horribly in handling Czech)
• The HyperDM server has had an much needed update.
• The high score list of the Crystal Castles server has been put online. (Manually, this means that new scores won't be automatically visible here)
• The master server page has been updated with the new Unreal community master servers.
• The Master Server Installer has been updated to use Unreal 227 technology
• The Enhanced Unreal server browser (EUSB) has been updated to use the new Unreal community master servers. Please note that that the EUSB is already included in Unreal 227 and the next release will also have the updated master server settings.
• A few errors on the website have been fixed, like the in-site search.
• A few dead Unreal sites have been dug up from their graves and put back online, right here in the archive.
• The links page has had a repaint to treat the ever present link rot. Quite a bit of new sites have been added as well. I also fixed some dead links elsewhere on the site.

Moving to a new domain (Updated)

Because DynDNS unfortunately ends their free dynamic DNS service I decided to move to FreeDNS. This unfortunately means that I cannot keep my current domain name (hyper.dnsalias.net)

Therefore I will move to the domain: hypercoop.tk. (This is a domain I already used)

http://www.hypercoop.tk
unreal://hypercoop.tk

For about a month you will be redirected. After that you will get an error.
Would you be so kind to update your links?


When you use my master server you will also need to adjust your Unreal.ini using these settings.

*** Update: Because of problems with Google which is blocked to index anything on anydns.com I changed domain names again. The above post has been updated with the latest information. ***

 

GameSpy's master servers are going down. No need to panic.

On the OldUnreal forums I read a message that the Gamespy master server will be shutdown in May. While this will be a problem for many Gamespy-powered online games, Unreal is quite safe. To mitigate the risk of a single master server going down the Unreal community has several backup master servers running. When you have the latest Unreal patch 227 installed, you are already equipped to use them! So you won't be in the dark when Gamespy stops. If you don't already have Unreal 227 installed, be sure to head over to OldUnreal.com to get it!

Knocked off the internet

Today I was offline because my ISP blocked my connection on suspicion of a malware infection. No malware was found but to be sure I restored an image backup of my main system. My server also appears to be clean, according to MalwareBytes. I called up my ISP but they were unable to tell me for what exactly they blocked me(!) As you read this I'm back again, but I hope I can stay online now.

CMapFixM 0.12 released

Zombie released an updated version of his serverside mutator "CMapFixM". This mutator applies a number of fixes to custom maps on any Unreal coop server, of which the most important ones are Drews SkaarjCastle and SkaarjTower maps. The updated version fixes more maps and works better with Unreal 227. For more details and a list of applying maps, see Zombie's forum post.

Connectivity problems

I'm experiencing problems with my internet connectivity last weeks, which is causing downtime of my services from time to time. Today my ISP ZeelandNet replaced my cable modem and I hope this will fix the issues. If not they will have to do some additional investigation. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Update 2013-08-28: In August my connection has been stable again. I hope it stays this way.
 

Happy birthday, Unreal!

Yesterday it was Unreal's 15 year anniversary! For me it is hard to believe that Unreal is 15 already. It's 10 year anniversary seemed only a short time ago. I guess I'm getting old. Anyways, it has been a great adventure! Thanks for being with us Unreal! I wish you many prosperous years to come.
 

Unreal PSX first release

Leo(T.C.K.) released the first part of his port of the Unreal PlayStation project. Unreal PSX should have been a version of Unreal 1 with all-new maps for Sony's first PS console, but the project was cancelled before it could be released. Leo however was able to contact the original authors and get the project from them to convert the maps with help of a small team. I'm currently testing the maps at my custom map server so they may become part of the map cycle there. For more information and the full credits, see the included readme file.

Unreal PSX Rework: Rise of Jrath Episode 1 Part 1 Release

After such a long time, the "demo" is finally done and finished. The most troublematic was creating the additional content/coding, there were multiple issues too that I in the end got help with or had to somehow solve on my own and of course the fact that important person left the project didn't make it easy.

Whatever the case this is no longer issue because the pack is out.

Four level "sets" consists of Episode 1 part 1, since part 2 should end with e1l8 levels.
Part 2 will be hard to complete too, due to the fact most levels are missing from part2 as they were not recovered fully, while the other two episodes are mostly complete. I will surely need some help still regarding mesh work etc.
Multiple new items/enemies are present, but new enemies mostly make up the "dream-in-your-mind-like" levels. That is also because e1l3 concepts were heavily unfinished.

New creatures should be good news for certain people, especially the minotaur rework. There is a special secret level featuring big variant of the minotaur also.

Gameplay in the usual levels was kept as intact from original as possible. For those not familiar with the original levels using the low res psx textures, this pack should really feel fresh and new and should be at least of quality of good expansion pack.


New textures, loads of new textures and player skins, some coming from the graves of Unreal development, some are completely new and fresh.
You are free to use the textures in your projects for example because they are imo worth it. One particular texture set: UPB-Crypt2 was extremely difficult to get hold of the unresized originals, being it old and forgotten texture set from the beta days, a nice "Egyptian/Persian" alternative to the later Sumerian-like Crypt set. This set is not used in the rework but is included here but it plays a large part in part 2 of episode 1.

New server system

You may have experienced some downtime as I migrated my game servers and this website to a new machine. The new server (specs) is slightly faster and a lot more energy efficient than my old AMD machine (specs). Because it consumes significantly less electricity it will cost me less money to keep my services available.

• Intel Celeron G1610 Boxed
• ASRock B75 Pro3-M
• Cooler Master Elite 342
• Kingston 8GB DDR3
• TEAC DVD-ROM 16x48x DV-518GS (black)
• Seasonic G-Serie 360Watt
• Kingston SSDNow V Series V300 120GB
• APC Smart-UPS 1000VA USB & Serial 230V
   

Maps and cache downloads removed

I removed the map and cache downloads for my servers from the website because they are no longer needed and were outdated in some cases. With Unreal 227 (fast) download redirection, which is enabled for my servers, you no longer need to manually download and install map packs or cache files. Another advantage is that you won't have to worry about version conflicts.

JCoopZ updated

Zombie's enhanced cooperative gametype for Unreal has been updated to build 137. This release includes a few fixes and a better compatibility with Unreal patch 227(i).

Change list:

---

This is the sixth update to JCoopZ1 since initial release. Only the server side files jCoopZ1SSF.u, and jCoopZ1GRP.u files were updated. The main intent of this release was to fix GameRules support of the ModifyDamage function with jzPlayerPawn. The PackageScan feature has been fixed again to be compatible from a 227 server for clients 224/225/226f-b/227i. For 224/225/226 servers, the PackageScan feature is compatible with 227 subversion "i" clients as well. PackageScan compatibility for previous 227 subversion "h" must be added manually using the PackageException list.

The Update List (Build 137; 11/30/12):

-Fixed GameRules/jczGameRules support bug to ModifyDamage function not being able to actually modify the damage to jzPlayerPawn.
-Fixed PackageScan incompatibility with 'IPDrv' package from Nephthys clients.
-Fixed PackageScan incompatibility for 227 patch clients and servers (again) as of the released "i" sub-version.
-Changed PrimaryAdmin and SecondaryAdmin array list size to support up to 8 configuration entries each (totaling 16).
-Improved PackageScan handling of the PackageException feature so that the main unreal packages are supported. Now PackageExeptions can be added and work for all packages.

Unreal patch 227i released! (Update)

Smirftsch (OldUnreal) released the long-awaited update for Unreal 227. Version 227i comes with many bug fixes and some new features. For a full list of the changes, please read the release notes.

Download Unreal patch 227i for Unreal Gold

For help, please consult the OldUnreal Wiki or the OldUnreal forums.

Update: As promised I updated the UnrealScript documentation with this release.

Download speed issue fixed

I was notified of an issue with the downloading of game files from my Unreal servers. It was caused by a misconfiguration of one of the new settings and has been fixed by now. Thanks "Tick" for the report.

JCoopZ has been updated to build 135

Zombie released a new version of his coop server game type JCoopZ. JCoopZ brings many improvements over the standard cooperative game and I can recommend it to anyone. This gametype brings improvements in security and playability and brings many new options and features for server owners to play with. This update has a few fixes for Unreal 227 and more:

Zombie wrote in the forum:

---

This is the fourth update to JCoopZ1 since initial release. Only the server side files jCoopZ1SSF.u, jCoopZ1NPTP.u were updated, but there is a new jCoopZ1GRP.u file. Since 227 seems to be in perpetual development in RC phase I thought it was finally time to have an interim release. This update fixes the notable client anomaly problem for some 227 users. Also, as expected there has been a number of general improvements and additions listed below. Build 130 will have the most compatibility and support of the 227 patch so I recommend all users, not just 227 server administrators to update. For 224/225/226 users they are required to update to Nephthys v1.4 or greater.

---

 

Changelog for this version:

---

2/11/12 jCoopZ1SSF Build 135
-Fixed GiveItem bug from incrementing weapon ammo when the user specified custom "ammo#"
number is below the default MaxAmmo.
-Fixed PreLogin/Login bug from rejecting spectators when the server reaches MaxPlayer
capacity while NumSpectators is still less than MaxSpectators.
-Fixed rare IP address storing bug that prevented a player from being logged by
JCZLogger.
-Fixed PackageScan incompatibility for 227 patch clients and servers.
-Added Web Admin JSay support from admin players.
-Added more 'Admin' command restrictions that an admin player should never need to
invoke.
-Added support for PlayerStart 'bEnabled' handling from the 227 patch CoopGame.
-Added preliminary support for compatibility with IPv6 clients and servers
(if there ever will be). Permanent IP range bans now require a dash "-" separator
instead of a colon to avoid conflicts with IPv6 address hexadecimal notation.
-Added a feature for 3rd party development from 'jCoopZ1SSF' package. ;-)
-Changed a specific "clientside anomaly" detection to be less sensitive on under powered
or network congested servers.
-Improved AI hang prevention to reduce late level start load on server setups with pawn
mutations. May prevent rare crashes around server level startup on custom maps that are
unstable to extensive pawn mutations.
-Improved JCZLogger pruning routines which should produce more relevant 'getalias'
command results and keep JCZLogger.ini file size smaller.
-Replaced the Nephthys v1.4 distribution with the Nephthys v1.5a018 distribution in archive.

DO NOT: Block anything, Shoot other players (it's coop, not DM remember), Beg for admin, Spawnkill, Spam messages, Use Foul language, attack the server, use client side mods for unfair advantage. This list is probably not complete, so I also want you to use your common sense. The general rule "Don't do to others what you don't like to be done to yourself" also applies in online games like this one.

When you cause trouble, you can be banned with your IP address. (Or IP range if you have more than one IP address) When you are banned, you will be unable to play on the server again.

First, I want to thank Joss for her support to make the HyperCoop possible. She had her own server at that time and is the creator of JCoop, an add-on for Unreal Coop games with many features. Joss helped me to set up this server in the very beginning.
Winged Unicorn for MonsterCoop, MonsterCoop2 and allowing me to be the first one to use / try / test it.
I also want to thank Winged for the great tech support during the beta testing of several of his mods, and his help to reduce the number of freezes / crashes of the server, and the use of his forum.
Zombie for the JCoopZ and especially the many hours he spent on the issues with my server, for DZMapMutator and TranslatorMessenger mods, and his tech support.
