Hi there! I recently downloaded a new copy of UT2004 and had a character on the server named "Killerkid_Soda", and i recently have been playing on a new character named "poot". Wondering if there is anyway to get the old character back or combine levels or something. Thanks!

Restored!

You have:
Killerkid_Soda - Level 147 MM
Killerkid_soAM - Level 47 AM
Killerkid_soEM - Level 35 ENG
Killerkid_SoWM - Level 48 WM

Hey,

It's Spacey, returning from a multi-year long voyage through spacetime, thanks to Pyro. New CD key, and I played with it using *BEL*_e just a few moments ago. I need to get my old stats restored, which would include names such as:

*BEL*_e
*BEL*_ mc2
*BEL*_Harv_e
*BEL*_BS_ee

Thanks!

(Now to just remember my bindings, including the RPG bindings...LOL)

Thanks! Now to just get my key bindings restored from old configs I have, and get the individual INIs setup, along with figuring out what is wrong with my firewall, which disconnects TCP sessions every 10-15 mins. So looking forward to playing...

Hi,

This is Danno, a returning player from the old DC server. I played for a bit tonight on Testsubject1 and Danno_AM, to get the hang of the new server. (Feel free to delete both of those profiles.)

These are my 3 characters from the old server:

Danno_LW
Danno_ENG
Danno_ADR

Could you please recover my profiles for these three? (My WM and ENG have the proper classes, but no stats and skills, and my AM profile seems to be missing.) And could you please change "Danno_LW" to "Danno_WM"?

Thanks!

Welcome back Danno Will try to get to it tonight

Hey Danno,

It looks like you still have the same CD key as before, so you should still be able to access your older profiles.

It looks like the only ones you've had previously were Danno_LW (Lvl 87) and Danno_ENG (Lvl 124), but no abilities purchased. Have you tried refunding abilities? That'll get you your stat points back.

I couldn't find a profile for your AM class, other than the ones you've just recently created. Do you know what level you were, roughly?

Hi hollon,

Thanks for the warm welcome, and your posts! I appreciate you looking into this.

Yep, that's correct, I'm using the same CD key that I used on the original server. I just checked both Danno_LW and Danno_ENG. Both profiles have a lot of points sitting in the "stat points" field, so I think I'm good to go on both of those.

As for my AM character, I would guess a level anywhere from 80-100 maybe. I don't recall the level exactly, but I do remember purchasing and using Ghost, Denial, and Adrenal Drip. I also recall using lightning rod, a couple of different spheres, a lightning bolt ability, magnetic boots, an item allowed me to make magic weapons, an item that let me max weapons, an ability that made the squad invulnerable to damage, and an ability that buffed the squad's damage output. Unfortunately I don't recall what level Ghost or Denial I had. I suspect it might have been level 2, but it has been so long since I've last played, that I'm not sure. I can work with whatever level you think is appropriate for him.

A couple of related questions:

(1) Are we allowed to use the refund button whenever we want? Also, this button only refunds points spent on abilities, not other attributes like health bonus, correct? Or does it refund all of my spent points, from all areas on the character menu? I'm not sure I've ever used that button before.

(2) Since I'm working off of the same CD key, is it OK for me to play on the server while you are doing admin stuff for said CD key? I've tried to not be on the server much lately, since I wasn't sure if my playing on the server would interfere with the admin stuff you were looking into.

Thanks again for the help. I'm really excited to get back to playing here; running into old friends and making new ones.

(1) Yes, you are freely allowed to use the refund button as much as you want. You can either choose to refund Abilities+Subclasses, Niches, or Combos, which a submenu will prompt you to do when clicking the refund button.
Do note that the Stats (Max Adrenaline, Weapon Speed, Ammo Capacity, Damage Bonus, Damage Reduction and Health Bonus) CANNOT be sold, and thus purchasing them is a permanent decision.

(2) Play to your heart's content. You cannot negatively interfere with Hollon's tinkering despite using the same CD-key, so play as much as you'd like.

Looking forward to seeing you on the server

Hi nickgavran,

Thanks for answering those questions; that's very helpful!

And thanks! Looking forward to seeing you in game too!
