Exploits are something that ruined the game for me when I moved to 2.5. Believe it or not, even though I hacked in 2.3, I never really used exploits on a regular basis. I can't really think of one that I used... maybe setfire a few times... Anyway, on 2.5, for most players it seems that it's more about keybinds and tweaks than it is about playing. I don't know if it's because it's a free game and a lot of immature kids play it or if it's just the game/engine itself... or perhaps both. Other games don't seem to have as many exploits or unfair tweaks as AA does.

Like mans said, Skrewy has his place on this forum. Everybody is welcome here no matter how rude, arrogant or just plain stupid. Just be happy that Skrewy lost his moderator rights a while back.

Well, i used to play Unreal Tournament 2004 some years ago, it was a game made from the start for the community to mod maps and many parts of the gameplay (e.g. mutators). AA simply shares a whole lot of features with Unreal, so it's relatively easy tweaking gameplay related settings in comparison to other games (whether it's made to exploit or rather to benefit of particular settings).

I use to read Skrewy's posts, take out the useless part and keep on reading. Neverthless, at times he is so freaking immature and/or behaving just like your average rough little troll that he gets on my nerves aswell.

Hello All,

i have a honor request, have been playing this game from version 2.3 played allot with Valkondo. My honor was like 73 or something. I always played as drouble or littledevill, but I cant login anyway. I cant remember, maybe it had a clan or something. I always registered to aaotracker.com but that site is not available anymore.

Greetings,
drouble.

Your AAOtracker account is still valid, you just need to login at www.Battletracker.com. If you don't remember the password, go for a password reminder, and if you eventually need further help (e.g. because you can't use the mail address you registered that account with) you will have to ask for support on Battletracker for that matter.

Is this your account?

Or either one of those?

Hi mate, your Battletracker account total score allows you to ask for a 77 level.

It sounds like you're simply disconnecting from the game/server.

Yeppers. Check your connection, stop every process that can suck up any amount of bandwidth, and if you share that connection with other family members and/or people you live with, check back and forth to be sure that someone else isn't taking a toll on the line because he's/she's downloading his latest fav. sitcom episode.

Also check out your modem, verify if it's overheating and if it works properly even on full load (cheaper modem/router models have such shortcomings). Yesterday i threw out a dirty cheap Intelli-something modem my roomates were using since a couple months, the wifi net was helding but the overall quality was poor, decaying once on load and poor maximum speed (which it wasn't capable to keep anyway). Replaced with a D-Link 2740b i had sitting around (kinda lol, i was going to sell it in fact), definatly a smoother experience by far. 

So to make the text back into a map or a .aao file do I just coppy all the text then past it back in to edd?
If so its not working?

Possessed used the AARE tool made by Eliz to convert his custom maps, the tool is actually very reliable and unless you choose to use game material that was published in later version after 2.5, you shouldn't have huge issues.

I remember one crappy 2.1 from creative which are the standards for (low-mid bidget of 50€) which are the standards as 2x6w + 17w subwoofer if I'm not mistaking. Here in my little full of things bedroom, they aren't anything impressive. But when I used them in a huge empty room full of metal and glass on the sides damnnnnnnn.

That crap sounded like I had a million dollars system for real lol, 17 w never sounded so much powerfull with all the probably 30 huge thin glasses shaking all over the place. All I could say is wtf, it was so damn loud. (the fidelity was million of years away, but it sounded powerful, and that makes me a happy customer ;D).

I'll read/watch some AA Editor tuts, because I'm far from editor's full potential. maybe one day I'll come here and release a decent map, maybe... :

I made this map copying & renaming the 2.8.5 packages to match with 2.5 packs (UTPT to browse 2.5 files and find the correct package for each resource) and then converted the map with Eliz 2.8.5 converter.

for those who do not know, only packages with "AA2" in its name should be used for a 2.5 map, "AAO" packs won't exist in 2.5.

did you guys asked other mappers to make/try something for 2.5?
what about a map contest lol ?(not now i know..)

Nice approach, btw there's some newer material in the AA2 packages too, but if you stick to basic materials you don't really have to worry. That's a small map too so you also have a very small amount of materials being used. If you want a tip, you can use PlayerBlock collisions to shape they way you want something to be walked on/around, e.g. a small object laying on the floor as much as a chair or a table (you can even ease the collision by avoiding chances of getting stuck, or either just making it easier to walk on).

I am trying to convert a map I did for 2.8 and cant find -                                                                       
" StaticMesh'M_AAO_Equipment.Plastic_Containers.Large_plastic_bottle " in M or the M2.
What do you think?

I've taken a look aswell, it seems to be a 2.8 asset, not available in 2.5 (until we decide to port 2.8 assets to 2.5 as a whole).

Most or likely all of the *_AAO assets belong to game versions published after 2.5.
