I'd be super impressed if you could get it to work. AA 2 is based on UE2 and as far as I'm aware UE didn't get proper VR support until UE4.

True, the change in the hospital was very controversial!
And there were a couple of polls, and only the one that was shit was recognized!
Since the introduction of rpg, hospital has not been played for years as it used to be.
And what's more important, those who don't even play hospital voted.
And even more importantly, assist admins who don't play hospital changed it.(and originally proposed at the assist admin's own request, I don't know why, but I won't name which one was from the assist admin, he will recognize himself).

As he proposed, let him now return 203

I was thinking specifically of you when I posted it.

Can you also edit other stuff with UE2 like for example uniforms?

Yes. You might have noticed, but the uniforms in Assist are actually from AA 2.8 and were backported by Eliz to work on 2.5.

I don't think I've logged into this site since probably like 2013 but it's actually wild that you all have kept this going. Legends! I saw a video of my old map SF Office Assault and now I may just hop back in some games for the nostalgia!

Yo I haven't see you around in a while! I know it's been forever because your signature has an xfire username and an imageshack link. lmao
The Thursday night game night is still very much a thing (previously started by iL and still put on by Dewman) and I hope to see you around there.

The AA 2.5 Assist Staff would like to announce the promotion of HellB0Y! to Assist Staff!

This has honestly been a long time coming.
I'm sure many of you are familiar, but for those that aren't, HellB0Y is the creator and owner of AATracker.net. He, with the help of current staff Teddy, is the reason we now have working honor and a robust stat tracking website again after the shutdown of Battletracker. His hard work and dedication has been greatly appreciated and he has been a really awesome member of the community for some time now. We reached out to him to join the Assist staff and he has accepted.

What does this mean for AATracker?
Nothing. AATracker.net is still 100% HellB0Y's work and nothing will change that. We will be looking forward to further integrate AATracker with Assist, but it will be 100% at the discretion of HellB0Y!. He's the owner of the site, full stop.

There aren't any more implications of this change to normal users. This announcement is mostly to ask you all to welcome HellB0Y! to the Assist Staff!

Good observations!

Back in the day we had a very talented and well motivated member of the team that was capable of and (somehow!) had the time to do such things. But unfortunately he's no longer actively involved in this project.
That's why I say we don't really have the resources to tackle such things.

I'm sorry if the above post felt aggressive or hostile. It certainly wasn't meant as such. People just often underestimate the amount of work seemingly small changes can take. And perhaps they also overestimate the number of members and/or amount of available time for the members of the staff here (or other projects for that matter).

I want to expand on this a bit. As far as 2.8.5 ports go, Eliz did the initial work with Spanky and I helping to do more fine fixes to get the maps working in 2.5.

That being said, the camo and maps were, I don't want to say easy, but a lot more straight forward. Texture importing was the majority of the work with some static mesh and sight line editing required to make it all work.

I am not super familiar with the 2.8.5 shotguns, but the editor we had to work with is Unreal 2.4 AT BEST. We couldn't even get the random spawns to work properly for maps like Dockside and Extraction. The point being that there is a very big difference between player skins and new weapon types being able to work in AA 2.5.

sadly I disagree with you,  maybe you should purchase bloody v7 mouse and see the advantages it has lol you b suprized, but you can't ban players for using a nice mouse
can turn your burst fire gun into auto mode click of a key

Nah man, a "Nice Mouse" is the Logitech G Pro Superlight. A "Nice Mouse" is the Razer Deathadder V3 Pro. This mouse just sounds like it's straight up cheating and you can absolutely ban for that. We've banned macro (auto fire with one click) before and we can certainly do it again. The trick is being able to detect it.

I get the point that the anti-cheat isn't all encompassing, and it's absolutely not. We couldn't even hope to get the type of detection modern FPS games get, and even those aren't absolute. The one big benefit we have is server admins being able to ban obvious cheaters. The obvious downside is good players getting banned by bad server admins but you can't win every battle here.
