Only issue I have at the moment (only noticed it last night) is the "Wealth" relic does not work with NW3
(It is supposed to give you ammo)
Could be either the relic or NW3 at fault, but it is not a big issue.

Moi?

Anywho, I've only noticed one odd thing about NW3 so far. The primary fire and alt fires from NW2 are kinda reversed on some of the weapons. Most notably the Graviton but more than that.

Monsters traditionally tend to dodge the primary fire of weapons in UT, but they don't dodge the alt fire at all. All the weapons that NW3 uses? The monsters are dodging the alt fire but not the primary.

No idea what that's about.

The Graviton doesn't seem as powerful as the NW2 version, has barely any pull. The androids are adorable.

Hey, can the falling debris from the BIG explosions hurt me?

Because you use the normal DM profile ...you can set up the weapon to a more powerful version.

Did find another little glitch: the Vortex.

In NW2 you can destroy the vortex, if you're done with it or it no longer serves a purpose. Any number of the other weapons can end the thing...

...not so much with NW3.



I had all the little robo·weapons tearing, and chasing, the Skaarj around the map before I tossed the vortex at them. It was fun to watch, as these Skaarj are all but unkillable, but after a bit I tried to bust them out of the vortex.

It would not die.



I hit it with rocket blasts. I planted a MegaTon under it. Shot every nuke in the book at the vortex.

Didn't even slow it down. In fact, none of the little robots were harmed by the nukes either, which was also kinda weird.

bcs you can't kill your own robots?

^ This. Setup the mod profile to "Monster Party".

@Cybots: try going to Nali Weapons 3 Gameplay Settings > Weapons > Cybot Launcher, and check the friendly fire options there (there are a few options to enable to damage your own cybots). By default you cannot kill your own cybots just like Metalfist mentioned above.

Clearly... but you could kill them off in NW2.

Just seems odd the defaults are all so different from the previous versions defaults... but okay.

I see...

The reason for that is quite simple: NW2 was seen as pretty much a *MH only* weapon mod. However, with NW3 I wanted to wash that idea away, and show that the current mod is as capable for MH, as it's capable for DM, CTF or any other gametypes with the right settings.

The first gametype many players who just discovered the mod will try with NW3 is either DM or CTF, not MH. Only the players who already played NW2 may start off with MH, and even those are likely to start playing DM or CTF as well in the first run. At the beginning there will be many players and admins confused with this, but with time I hope players get used to the idea that NW3 is highly customizable and can be balanced to any gametype.

I also failed to provide a FAQ so far, but good thing I did since that way I can provide a better and accurate FAQ with those questions all cleared up later.

I only downloaded NW3 today. Shame on me...
Took me a while to set everything up, then I picked a DM map by random (closed eyes and all) and it was DM-Lexmark_CastleUT (by DREW). Wanted to make the damage and hp settings similar to UT weapons, but I made them a bit overpowered (1hit death). What setting should I use?
Next up: modifiers, AS testing and finally, the nukes!
EDIT: D'oh! Accidently deleted the read-me, now I'll never know how to summon the bangs, !

It should not take a while to setup.
Choose a suitable profile (based on the power of your PC)
Choose the mutator combo you require
Play.

Anything more than that, is just fine-tuning to your preferences.
Team-damage is off by default, simply so you don't annoy people online. Switch it on if you wish.

You want more damage?
Use the NW3 pickups and/or Relics and Runes.

Not much more too it than that.

Very amazing, Ferali!
Great detail and configurable in so many ways!
Lots of fun trying out all the weapons.

A heads up everyone: whoever uses ACE, please add all the NW3 packages to its white list.

NW3 makes *heavy* usage of client-side functions for effects (coronas/flares, shakes, occlusion, etc, etc), and if they are not in the list, what will happen is from the moment an odd client trace is made, or the player view/location/FOV tweaked by some NW3 client-side code (for intense nuke effects for example, so you can actually *feel* the shockwave and the explosion itself), ACE will kick thinking it may be an aimbot, radar and other types of cheats and exploits.
If ACE still kicks you due to some NW3 function, despite being in the white list already, please refer to Anthrax to understand what's going on, and report back to know if it's something you're doing wrong (as it seems to be the case for some) or if it's something in ACE itself (probably an outdated version you possess?), as for NW3 I won't remove those functions as they are legit and are what make a good part of what the pack is about visually.

Also, it seems that NW3 doesn't and won't ever work properly with UTPure, as UTPure strips the mod down from using custom crosshairs and many of the client-side effects and its white list is limited to 8 packages and seems to crash a server when used (seriously....... -.-).
So if you intend to use NW3 with UTPure, it won't work, and is either not use UTPure or not use NW3, sorry, but that's the way it is.

Thanks for everyone's reports and collaboration to make this work.
