I do not like green eggs and spam

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 17:07:55 -0600

My Apologies to anyone who recently signed up for an account to find it missing. We've recently (Along with many other IPB Forums) had a huge influx of spam bots, I guess they figured out how to cheat the old captcha tests.

We've now upgraded to the new version of IPB which uses a captcha script i've been using all year long (reCaptcha). Not only is it pretty hard, but it helps to decifier books whereby you're presented with two words to type and one of them is an unknown word from a book. If you get the captcha right the system will add your answer for the unknown word into its database, eventually able to work them out by tallying things up, Neat.

Release: Our First Unreal Tournament 3 Map

Sun, 18 May 2008 18:01:57 -0500

A nice, if not unexpected announcement from us today.

Some of the more observant of you might have noticed the update to the recent files list to the right of the screen. Besides the obvious change in the size of the images, a new file has appeared on top.

DM-ChaosBase is a Deathmatch map for Unreal Tournament 3, based on the map "Weapons of War" for Unreal Tournament (1999). Perfect for fast paced action for 6-16 players, although above 12 players it gets pretty difficult to stay alive for any length of time.

A wide variety of weapons have been placed around the map to keep things interesting as well as some hard to reach goodies .

Hopefully you'll see some interesting things from us in the future for the UT3 engine.

iWant Studios Forum's Officially Open!

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 19:20:29 -0500

Well, some of you may have noticed that a few months back we silently opened our forums up to new user registrations and what not, and we've been using them to post news articles for iWant Studios.

No doubt, those of you who have visited our forums will have noticed the boring default skin we have been using, well this is no more! After a few months of development we're proud to present our custom made in-house forum skin.

As if that weren't enough you'll notice that it integrates seamlessly with our current website theme.

We hope that from now on you'll come back regularly and check up on our updates, or even stay a while and register for our forums so you can voice your opinions.

William & Anthony,

New Portfolio

Wed, 12 Mar 2008 05:38:28 -0500

Hello everyone, or more to the point, everyone that reads this news post. Never the less we have a small announcement to make, check out the totally revamped portfolio page.

We realised that the old portfolio although pretty, wasn't suitable for such a large number of items in it, so with that in mind Anthony has gone and designed us a brand new one. Not to be outdone I've added in a sorting algorithm so that you can filter and sort the items you're looking at. So go check it out and if you want tell us what you think.

USS Atlantis Release Announcement

Tue, 12 Feb 2008 12:46:41 -0600

Finally, after what seems like years (Has it actually been years?) of hard work and missed deadlines USS Atlantis is complete and ready for download again!

Just copy pak3_r2.pk3 into the RPG-X2 Folder and enjoy! (ENSURE YOU COPY IT INTO THE RPG-X2 FOLDER, NOT THE BASEEF FOLDER) If you have a earlier version of the atlantis (IE RPG-X2/pak3.pk3) then be sure to delete it before installing this version

Download: DOWNLOAD

Note: This version is only compatible with RPG-X Version 2.1 Beta 4 and above

If you spot any bugs or want to suggest a feature feel free to report it on the RPG-X bug tracker; http://bugs.rpg-x.net

If you want to know anything about the RPG-X mod try looking at the wiki; http://www.rpg-x.net/wiki

USS Atlantis Update 2

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 16:41:10 -0600

Using the newest build of RPG-X 2.1 Beta I've updated the message system that is used to display the text that describes the purpose of consoles and buttons. All is well and everything in the map seems to be working on a local system.

A Beta test will probably be required before we can be certain that the networking issues have been resolved to a good enough level.

So, expect a release in the not too distant future.

USS Atlantis Update

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 07:39:37 -0600

Don't despair friends, work on the Atlantis hasn't been abandoned. Due to problems with RPG-X that have only recently been fixed, and more recently requirements to complete Coursework I haven't been able to even get near the map to finish it off.

I need to redo the entity message system so that it is now compatible with the new version, and perhaps even include some things that were cut from previous builds.

We're still welcome to small suggestions!

Stay tuned

iWant Chaos

Sun, 23 Dec 2007 18:11:10 -0600

iWant Chaos says me, iWant it for sure says you.

I might make a post in the future and try to get "iWant" in it as many times as I can. iWant to start doing that now. You get a reprieve for now, I have other things to talk about.

We're proud to announce our first level for a brand new engine. This level was first included as part of the Chaos pack for the original Unreal Tournament and as far as we know hasn't been seen since. So we're proud to announce for Unreal Tournament 3.... Chaos Base. If you visit the projects page of the site (www.iwantstudios.com) you can find out more about it.

For now, this will have to do .
