Razz Arena listing server online
 

hi all!

its been a while since i done something on my Razz Arena game :P
but today i started a listingserver (or masterserver) so you can now see who is playing the game.

untill the next release you need to edit your hostfile and add a extra line to your razz config file but after that it should work out of the box :)

please let me know if this works for you.

visit www.razzarena.da.ru for more info on how you edit your files.

edit: please take a look here to see if there are any games in progress:

It works just fine. I saw the sky, celshaded walls, piet's rabbit and talked a bit, all at 1 fps! :D Just remember that you may need administrator status and/or temporarily disable any HOSTS file protection you have.

Yay! Razz Arena! It's back!

I have inspiration to make maps again!

I wish I could make maps. I should install the game again and screw around a bit in the castle map (it's awesome.)

EDIT: By the way, my mirror is dead. I'll re-upload the file as soon as I've downloaded it, but the URL will be different. Probably something like http://thunderweb.jonnys-place.com/media/Razz_Arena.exe .)

I remember I barely started doing a map for it and then gave up because of lack of time. Don't think I'll bring it back anytime soon...

i allso havnt got mutch time for the project :( but when McDougal sents me the newest source code i will release an updated executeable (so we wont need to edit the host fime).

Also, this has to be the first game where bots camp the equalivent of the seeker spot in Battle12D. =P

There was this server called "Beta Server" playing. I tried to join but Razz Arena crashed! D=

Also, how do I play in a windowed mode?

You need some levelmakers

... what?

Alt+Enter, or via the settings menu

Oh, I'll upload that when it comes out, then.

And it works on my computer now.
Yays!

My PC is being re-installed or I'd host. Then again, I'm not sure if I need to open any ports on my router to host. Help?

same ports as Quake3 Arena (maybe we change them someday but dont think its needed)

Hey people. I'm happy to announce that the folks at Foo Products are looking into a 24/7 dedicated server for Razz Arena. The reason for this is that I happen to have a brand new PC powered by Longhorn Server and nothing to do with it. More news on that as it develops.

You've just made me think of a foo-styled map for RA... That would be so much awesome.

Well, someone said they were going to make an Uberbob mod =P

If someone makes anything foo-related for RA we'll make a website for it and give the creator unlimited FTP access. In other words, I'd love it.

Probably, the most crucial ingredient would be a 3D model of Fooruman. Let me talk to my connections... =P

That was me.

I might make something if I can learn more about it...

=)

I made some FooProducts related skins, I have no idea how to implement them ingame.

EDIT- Thats how the models came out when I opened them, I'm not going to add a whole skeletal system just the two don't look like they're falling with style.

Rux.

Okay, we need a Fooruman skin. But what would his gun look like? Or would he shoot from his hand?

He'd shoot from his hand, ideally. If he needed a gun though, I'd imagine it'd be something sleek and mystical looking.

Hey BN, do you still have the Fooruman sprite where he's facing the front from Fooman 2? I think that'd be an insanely helpful reference.
EDIT- Nevermind, got it from Fooman1

For the record, Fooman 2 is still in development and very much owning. I even fixed the collision detection so it works. Go me.

I would make somthing like that, if I knew how :(

openup RazzArenaPak0.pk3 with winzip or winrar and browse to models\players\jazz\ and take a look at the tga files.

then copy/extract a set of .skin files and edit it and fill in the file names of your newly made skin.

create a new pk3(zip) file with the same folder structure (models\players\jazz)
in there put your new .skin files and the .tga files you made.

something like:

models\players\jazz\head_yourname.skin
models\players\jazz\upper_yourname.skin
models\players\jazz\lower_yourname.skin
models\players\jazz\yourname.tga

dont forget to rename the .zip to pk3 ;) and yes you need to put it inside "razzdata" :P

He-hem.

EDIT: If I was any good at modeling I would so make a model of my character. And maybe some Brainfart characters.

...that still doesn't help.
:(

Alright, thanks for the .skin info. That's what I needed.

Now running a dedicated server, which will be up until Monday if my computer doesn't crash. The level is Castle1.

I shouldv'e asked this earlier: what is (the) CD_KEY?

There is none, just click next/ok/whatever text is on the button

When joining UF's server I get INVALID_CDKEY.

Me too. That's why I asked. :(

OH NOES. A bug. IN THE GAME. QUICK! SMASH IT! OMGOMGOMGOGOG

(Sorry, it must be the planetary alignment.)

The CD Keys, according to my readme of RA, are:

123456789012345
razzdontneedq3a
0JazzJackrabbit0

Note that these will not work with Quake 3 Arena.

NOW GET PLAYING!

(The Server was restarted, it's up again. It uses the CDKey 0jazzjackrabbit0.)
