4.2.010 Now LIVE!
Head over to the download area and pickup the NEW UrTUpdater. It looks exactly the same as the previous version but it's very different!
We STRONGLY recommend doing a clean install. However, if you can't or don't want to do this, you can simply update any 4.2 install.
Version 4.1.* is not compatible with 4.2.* and you must NOT install 4.2 over 4.1 as it will break your game.If you get an error (about a download being corrupt), please restart the updater, it will pickup from where it encountered the error and resume.
See the release notes on the "Pre-Release News".
GL and HF with the next installment of Urban Terror !!
As per usual we welcome feedback in our forum.
Release 4.2.010 coming today at 22:00 CET
Good news Urban Terror fans ! We are very pleased that after one of our longer development cycles we are ready to release Urban Terror 4.2.010.
This new installment of the game comes packed with many new features, bug fixes and performance improvements. Among other novelties, players can customize the game by picking among the legacy player skins and 6 brand new skin sets (refer to the manual on skin forcing). Jumpers have not been forgotten with new cvars controlling run timers and physics, and the Glock gets revamped SFX. You'll be happy to know that the animations have been updated as well.
While you are waiting for the game to update, tune into SevenofNine's shoutcast for an exclusive preview of this new release and interviews of development team members.
New style is controlled with 3 cvars:
The old code (cl_mouseAccelStyle 0) can be difficult to calibrate because if you have a base sensitivity setup, as soon as you set a non zero acceleration your base sensitivity at low speeds will change as well. The other problem with style 0 is that you are stuck on a square (power of two) acceleration curve.
The new code tries to solve both problems:
Once you setup your sensitivity to feel comfortable and accurate enough for low mouse deltas with no acceleration (cl_mouseAccel 0), you can start increasing cl_mouseAccel and tweaking cl_mouseAccelOffset to get the amplification you want for high deltas with little effect on low mouse deltas.
cl_mouseAccel is a power value. Should be >= 1, 2 will be the same power curve as style 0. The higher the value, the faster the amplification grows with the mouse delta.
cl_mouseAccelOffset sets how much base mouse delta will be doubled by acceleration. The closer to zero you bring it, the more acceleration will happen at low speeds. This is also very useful if you are changing to a new mouse with higher dpi, if you go from 500 to 1000 dpi, you can divide your cl_mouseAccelOffset by two to keep the same overall 'feel' (you will likely gain in precision when you do that, but that is not related to mouse acceleration).
Please feel free to comment in our forum.
Warning: You can start running the updater today, 22 March 2013 around 22:00 CET !

TTimo's QuakeLive-style mouse acceleration
To enable it, set cl_mouseAccelStyle 1 (0 is the default/legacy behavior).New style is controlled with 3 cvars:
• sensitivity
• cl_mouseAccel
• cl_mouseAccelOffset
The old code (cl_mouseAccelStyle 0) can be difficult to calibrate because if you have a base sensitivity setup, as soon as you set a non zero acceleration your base sensitivity at low speeds will change as well.

KnockOut - Round 2
The guys at Urban Zone League took Urban Terror 4.2 through the wringer again in the second edition of KNOCKOUT. This time our very own Concept Artist Nounou was competing, and wow, did he get far; the finals no less! It attracted a very international group of competitors, last edition there was someone from India. This time Australia was represented by Shans who did extremely well; he beat off all competition despite his 400 ping to the European server to be crowned KO champion! Brejnless representing Sweden managed to get the second spot.
You can watch it all unfold below
The video features gratuitous violence in the church on ut4_company, some never before seen artwork by Nounou and a lot of underrated maps that rarely see the light of day. Hopefully this will cause them to be played more.
Here are the never before seen images first shown during the event.
If you want to compete in any future events like this you can "Like" Urban Zone on Facebook.

Urban Terror 4.2 gets Knocked Out
Greetings Urban Terror fans, while we work on the next Update (4.2.010) we thought you might be interested in seeing what 4.2 can do in the right hands. In this case in the right hands happens to be our newest addition to the development team SevenofNine who restarted an event originally invented by rYuuJiN.
The gametype known as KnockOut is where the last two on the leader board are “Knocked Out” until there is but one left standing.
Competition wise as an event KnockOut is two hours of non-stop action where rules of fair play become a suggestion and where rules are broken by but not limited to shoutcasters narcing out campers as well as players not able to handle the pressures and intentionally lemming off of tall buildings if just for the shear entertainment value.
Don't be fooled though this is 2 hours of grueling gun what you brung with a side order of fun to earn Ironman bragging rights as KnockOut king.
Check it out here.
If this is the kind of gun fun you would like to see more of in the future let SevenofNine know by heading over to the UZL Facebook page and give him a thumbs up with the traditional Like.
And then follow up with any comments and suggestions in our forum as to other kinds of events you would like to see, or even hear ;) .
Surely SevenofNine would be more than willing to accommodate...
