I put an animated texture on vmon which obviously still plays on the ragdoll... It makes it look like he's slowly blinking in utter disbelief of being shot XD

Also, cuz he's shrunken down a little as to not have a head 3x the normal hitbox size, his skeleton when going ragdoll does not scale correctly, I did make a custom ragdoll (called 'karma data') for him eventually :>

@Cheeseness The #OldUnreal website indicates it should work natively but I have a crossover shaped hammer so I'm tending to hit things with that at the moment.

Installed #UnrealTournament #GOTY through #Crossover (UT99) and its working brilliantly.
Thanks to CO team and especially to #OldUnreal crew!

(Also @shlee for letting it be known this is a thing!)

FYI, Unreal Tournament (and Unreal #UT2004) are available for free these days and there are simple all-in-one installers available for all platforms (Linux, Windows, macOS), modernizing many aspects of the game, thanks to #OldUnreal:

Skvělá zpráva - #Unreal a #UnrealTournament je teď ve své podstatě #freeware, protože #Epic dal k dispozici zdarma pro #gaming komunitu k dispozici ISO s datovými soubory pro použití třeba s #OldUnreal

Vypnutí master-serverů bylo ošklivý, ale tady je přesně vidět, že tlak komunity dokáže hodně.

Reportedly Epic has allowed the team to host Unreal (1998) and Unreal Tournament (1999) installers for everyone to enjoy for free.

We currently do not have permission to host the full game on oldunreal.com.

Unreal Gold and Unreal Tournament can now be downloaded for free, Epic Games just gave the OldUnreal folks permission to host installers for both games on their website.

It'll install the games and the OldUnreal patches to make them run on modern systems without hassles.
