I just wanted to get a start and post a quick note about our 4 New CROSSBONES Servers. They are courtesy of [~]RUFX[~]ŔöŋıŋMλšŧλƑЖ, our New *HUTP Server/Data Manager* and his Excellent "VarkOS" Hosting Service out of London Ontario Canada. These New CROSSBONES Servers are still very stock and vanilla as they say, but let us know how they work for you. Note: There are No Bots yet but will be added soon! The 4 new servers are as follows: CROSSBONES DeathMatch {CDM} IP: 45.74.104.111:10104 www.gametracker.com/server_info/45.74.104.111:10104CROSSBONES Domination {CDOM} IP: 45.74.104.111:10106 www.gametracker.com/server_info/45.74.104.111:10106CROSSBONES Capture The Flag {CCTF} IP: 45.74.104.111:10108 www.gametracker.com/server_info/45.74.104.111:10108CROSSBONES Assault {CAS} IP: 45.74.104.111:10110 www.gametracker.com/server_info/45.74.104.111:10110NOTE: These Servers and IPs Must be Saved as a Favorite in your UT Browser, for they may not show up on their own under the normal tabs. QUOTE from [~]RUFX[~]ŔöŋıŋMλšŧλƑЖ ..."Alright folks, I have some grand news to state, Alpha 2 of the 4 new CROSSBONES servers are online for testing! Note that except for {CCTF}, only stock maps are included thus far, and even then, the new maps in {CCTF} are minimal at best (both of the DE Bonus Pack maps (sans the updated (broken) de.u file) & CTF-ColaWars). Also, there is No redirect for any of the 4 new servers at this current time, this will come later -- they are in Alpha 2, which is an early testing stage, but they are stable enough to be tested! Also, all core configuration has been done! All that is missing are the standard CROSSBONES mutators and custom maps, plus the redirect being implemented." More info soon. Enjoy

Good news! Thanks !
But how do you pronounce your name, if we we strip down the weird characters? Ronin - ronin master? FX ?. I understand that this is some sort 'cool' nickname, but wouldn't it be easier if people could call you the simple way it is? How do we call you?

Terraniux My short name is Ronin You can call me that if "RoninMastaFX" or "RoninMasta" is too difficult...but my "full" online username anyhow which is "RoninMastaFX von LeNoir"...but we ain't going there here! That's for another thread (I need to explain the origins and heritage of my username perhaps?) BTW, my current username goes all the way back to 2002 when I was 12 years old, with the "FX" being added in October 2007...there's a story behind my username! ...Alright, I'll create a new thread and edit this post to the link of said thread. ^^ EDIT: hooksutplace.freeforums.net/thread/309/story-username-roninmastafx-plus-early

I think I made the mh server crash twice yesterday the server does not like the bio rifle. My game had it offline for 10ish mins on the first crash. I was streaming so I can clip a video right before the crash if you need it ronin to verify it was the gun 🤷♂️

Were you playing on our CMH CROSSBONES MONSTER HUNT server?
Also, a quick Update ... The Redirect for our 4 New CROSSBONES Servers has now been established and is up and running. Redirect space provided by (a long standing HUTP member and good friend)

Thank you for the server trial report mrreal! I think I made the mh server crash twice yesterday the server does not like the bio rifle. My game had it offline for 10ish mins on the first crash. I was streaming so I can clip a video right before the crash if you need it ronin to verify it was the gun 🤷♂️ Hmm that server has been running without any problems for many many years. (10 or more?) It must have just been some sort of glitch

I was checking out some of the custom maps on your new DM server, and for some reason when I voted for FoT-Lumor, the server kicked me and it went to Stalwart XL.
Not sure if it is a problem with that map, or something else, but I thought I'd let you know.

Not sure if it is a problem with that map, or something else, but I thought I'd let you know. SGTech1.utx was missing from CDM, file added to the server & redirect and server rebooted -- try again and let me know if it still crashes (or any other map for the matter!) Also, I also removed DM-Perihelion from the maplist.

Yes it is working fine now. I have not tried all of the maps yet, if I find any other problems I will let you know.
As for the map DM-Perihelion you did not need to remove it, some people may like it, it is just my eyes can't take some maps.
I am more of an old school guy and prefer the less busy looking maps when comes to actual playing. I just wish there were still more people who played, but considering the game is 20 years old I guess it is amazing that it still gets played at all.

We Thank YOU so much mrreal In regards to the map DM-Perihelion, If it was unpleasant for 2 out of 2 players, then it is very likely that map is totally UN-fit for Our HUTP servers! We want to have ONLY Good, Fun, and Quality maps on Our HUTP servers! - We Thank you for your comments for sure! "less busy looking maps" - I mostly agree. I played DM-Lumor <-(spelling?) on Our HUTP {CDM} DM server last night. Because it was a bit "busy looking" (to me), it made it a bit difficult to SEE (pick out) the other player/bots in the map. The map was still very enjoyable though, and because it was harder to notice the other player/bots in the map, it worked well for this map as it is a small 1-on-1 map. When we get medToggle incorporated into these 4 New HUTP Servers, that will take care of the bot/player count for Each map! So [~]RUFX[~]ŔöŋıŋMλšŧλƑЖ, keep that map DM-Lumor in the rotation. I think these 4 New HUTP Servers that [~]RUFX[~]ŔöŋıŋMλšŧλƑЖ admins for us will be very good to play! There are a lot of "old school" UT99 players (I have seen them) that wish to play servers that are not overly modded and more like the original great servers from the early years!

I played some more on the DM server and went through all of the FoT maps. DM-SimpleX crashed me, so you might want to look at that one.
As for the rest, they are all great looking maps, but for me only about half of them are playable, they all worked great but most make it hard to see and track targets.
I must say DM-Nyx is one of the best maps I have played so far, looked great and had a great flow.
Thanks for the server guys, I hope it gets lots of players.
