================================================================ Title : Blink Mutator Pack Version : 1.00 Release Date : 31st January 2000 Filename : bmp.zip Author(s) : Geoffrey "Quicken" Dunn Email Address : gdunn@backmeup.net.au Web Page : http://www.warmage.com Description : Six new mutators for UnrealTournament Where to get this map : http://www.warmage.com/ Other work by author : The map Firedrop.unr for Unreal The mod Tag Deathmatch for UnrealTournament Additional Credits to : Epic Megagames (http://unreal.epicgames.com/) Blink Software (http://www.warmage.com/) ================================================================ --- Play Information --- Game : Unreal Tournament Mod changes : Includes six new Mutators Difficulty Settings : No New Sounds : No New Graphics : No NewUnrealScript : Yes External DLLs : No Known bugs : There's a couple of odd things that were just not worth investigating. If the serverpackages line is not in the UT ini file (basically if you install with less than UT 4.05) then I have seen the hud stuff up on clients when using keep/have stuff. In that while they have weapons none show up as being available on the hud except the current. Seems downloading the package got past that but I have no idea how. In theory you should not need to have it set to download to work (since there's no sound, graphics, or client side code). Other odd thing is I have seen (again only on network play) with unlimited ammo and unlimited redeemers being unable to pick up a discarded redeemer. Usually the one I died with. Any other weapon I can pick up. Again, very odd but no big deal. --- Construction --- Editor(s) used : UCC, UnrealEd, UModWizard and MS-Studio Base : Scratch Construction Time : About 4 person days Installation ------------ It's a umod so double click and UnrealTournament should take care of the install for you. If you've got problems with your umod association try running something like "c:\UnrealTournament\System\Setup.exe bmp.umod" Once installed the new mutators will be available via the menu system for practice and multiplayer games. And you can bind a key for the Swap Hands mutator via the menu item. Extended description: -------------------- There are Six mutators total in here so mix and match as you feel fit. Also while you can bin a key to the Swap Hands mutator via the menu item (Mod->Swap Hands) there are more options available via the advanced options. Although I'm not going to explain them here as they are either obvious or involve some rather complex mathematics. Swap Hands - Allows the player to bind a key to allow them to swap between left, right and centre hand holding positions during game. Mainly for those that like to lean up against a corner and shoot around it. Bind a key to "mutate SwapHands"! Same Team! - Changes team damage to occur to the person DOING the damage rather than the victim. Great to make people cautious about who they shoot without the game being ruined by an annoying git. It's modified by team damage so if team damage is set to 0 you'll see no effect. Unlimited Ammo - Ups the ammo so you'll never run out again. Tends to be silly but can be good to LMS or some fun with unlimited redeemers turned on via the options :D Keep Stuff - Respawn with the weapons you died with (unless you suicide). Have Stuff - Respawn with the weapons and powerups your killer had! Great for helping balance out the game FatGun - Much the same as Fatboy except the better you play the fatter your gun. Author's Notes -------------- Feel free to drop any comments, suggestions or whatever to me. Also a special thanks to Raven (jmayo@spot.com.au) for helping me out when I _really_ got stuck as well as for the "Keep/Have Stuff" concept. And thanks to DarkReign (mhano@hotmail.com) for being a nice tester :) Developer's Notes ----------------- Not going to say much here except it was fun to find just how much (and little) I can get away with in a mutator. Some of them are pretty serious hacks so I don't recommend them as a base even though they are fairly stable and do what they do as best as possible.
