RPG and Skill Points

What is RPG?

UT2004 RPG is a mutator for Unreal Tournament 2004. It was created by Mysterial. It adds RPG (Role Playing Game) elements to the game we all love, such as the ability to gain levels, finding special weapons and artifacts.

I'm new to this RPG stuff. How do I get points and spend them?

There are a variety of ways to earn experience points: kill monsters, heal teammates, earn experience bonuses, and win the game (for example, if you win an Invasion game, everyone receives 80 exp).
To spend the experience points you earn, type "L" while in the game. This will open up the leveling information screen. Simply click on the skill or attribute you would like to buy. Some skills have prerequisites, so make sure to click on the "Info" button to learn about the skill before trying to buy it.

What should I buy first?

The more you play RPG, the more you will figure out what skills are most useful to your own playstyle. However, for brand new RPG players, it is useful to start off with extra health bonus and regeneration.
Once you get the hang of how things work, check out the Player Stats page so you can see what skills higher level players have purchased. Just click on the player's name and it will display her or his stats.

Classes

How do I become a medic/monster master?

First, you must buy the Monster/Medic Master class skill. You can only put one point in this skill. Then, if you want to be a healer, buy the Loaded Medic skill (you can learn more about any skill in-game by selecting in and then clicking "Info"). Once you have that skill, switch to the weapon you would like to make your Medic Weapon, make sure your Medic Weapon Maker artifact is selected, and then click "u." You can now begin healing people.
Other useful skill/s to buy as a Medic: Experienced Healing. Some medics also like extra points in health bonus, damage bonus, damage reduction, and one level of Adrenal Drip (so you can get enough adrenaline to make your Medic Weapon).
If you want to focus on summoning monsters, you must buy both Loaded Monsters and Monster Points. Loaded Monsters teaches you new monsters to summon, and Monster Points are what you use to "pay" to summon monsters. You also need adrenaline to summon monsters. For each level of Loaded Monsters you purchase, you will receive one or more "artifacts," each of which represent a specific monster. Each artifact will state what monster it represents, how many monster points you need to summon it, and how much adrenaline you need to summon it.
Other useful skill/s to buy as a Monster Master: Monster Skill: Health Bonus, Monster Skill: Intelligence.

How do I become an adrenaline/artifact master?

First, you must buy the Adrenaline Master class skill. You can only put one point in this skill. Then, the next most useful skill is Loaded Artifacts. Read the info on that skill.
Other useful skill/s to buy as an Adrenaline Master: Adrenal Drip, Energy Leech, Adrenal Surge, Denial, Resupply.

How do I become a weapons master?

First, you must buy the Weapon Master class skill. You can only put one point in this skill. Then, the next most useful skill is Loaded Weapons. Read the info on that skill.
Other useful skill/s to buy as a Weapon Master: extra damage bonus, Resupply, Vampirism and/or Regeneration.

Monsters and Summoning

There's these monsters that I keep shooting at and they won't die! Make it stop!

If you see a monster in game with a red halo on its head (or somewhere near it; sometimes the halos like to float around) that you cannot damage (it doesn't bleed when you shoot it), then it is someone's pet.

Pets are cool! How do I get one?

There are two ways to get your own pets:
1) With a Summoning Charm (see the Artifacts page)
2) With the Loaded Monster skill (see the RPG Skill Description page.)

My pet just stands there! How do I tell it to do something?

Well, you don't. Pets have minds of their own, and sometimes they like to be useful and protect you, and sometimes they like to stand on an elevator as it goes up and down, and up and down. If you have the Loaded Monster skill, you can purchase more intelligence and health bonus for your pets, and then just hope for the best.

Weapons

How do I get a(n) ______ weapon (e.g. vorpal, energy, etc.)?

Your initial pickup is random. You have a 33% chance of picking up a magical weapon of any type (cursed, common, or otherwise). If you get a one-drop weapon (one with a * in the name) and toss it, you will again have a 33% chance of picking up a magical weapon.
If you pick up a common weapon (one that does not have a * in the title) when you run over the weapon pick-up again you will receive the same weapon. See also General Weapon Information.

What does a(n) _____ (null entropy, vorpal, etc.) weapon do? What's the highest number modifier you can get on it?
Check out the RPG Weapons page.

How do I throw a weapon?
The default key to throw a weapon is \. NOTE: you cannot throw negative or otherwise cursed weapons. See also General Weapon Information.

Artifacts

I picked up an artifact. What do I do with it?

The default key to use an artifact is U. If you have enough adrenaline (see the Artifacts page for adrenaline requirements), you can simply press "u" to use the artifact.

How do I drop an artifact or scroll through my artifacts?

To drop an artifact, in the console (hit the ~ key to open your console) type tossartifact. You can also assign a key to this command in your keybindings (see the forums for more information). The default key to scroll through your artifacts is [ or ].

In-Game Pics:







As you can see, there are even some interesting maps (like this Mario map). And custom monsters like Bender (from Futurama) that throws bottles at you and insults you.

I am actually playing this for a while now.... the best (and balanced) server I am playing on is:
- Hedsteem - Vortex of Pain - (under Invasion)

This server actually added more cool things like Weapons of Power that you get randomly and can up use Power-Ups on.... my favorite is the INFINITE power up.

Come and play with me if you want to have some FPS fun...

I'll toss you some Weapons of Power if you need it.

Rofl...........

 

I hate making short posts but....

QFT!

 

How does this differ from the built in invasion mod? I mean it allows weapon upgrades/artifacts and levels as well.

 

Just nice custom Weapons of Power, power-ups, artifacts, and weapon classes w/ summons.

As well as stuff after death, like Ultima ability (to make a massive explosion where you die) and the Ghost ability (your soul floats to a spot across the map and you get to respawn)

Not to mention that you can call out RESSS PLZZZ when your dead (and hope to have someone RES you).

 

Wow, this is just like what they did with Counter Strike.... every 4 servers have the warcraft mod installed, and some good maps, I.E. SCOUTZKNIVES!!!! are always WC3, its soooo anoying. Anyways, i hope that mod doesnt ruin the game for others...

 

Nah, this mod is more of something to do when you are bored of Onslaught or Deathmatch.

I use it to kill a hour (for each map) when I need to get my mind off other things.
