I want to add your sniper rifle to a mutator I made that lets you choose different weapons to play with. It works, except there seems to be no pickup class for it...
email me at csdgames@adelphia.net if you would like to talk to me about this.

Maybe I'm missing something, but after putting the files in the correct directories, I can't find the Sniper Arena mutator in my mutator list. Do I need some other files as well?

You would probably want to talk to Spoon about that...

Now I do know that it is an "arena" mutator.... That means it is not made to work with other weapons just alone, arena style.

No other files needed. ...check the directions and recheck all your settings and files.

You should extract the SA107b.zip to a temp folder. The zip has folders already built into it, they should appear when you extract the zip. Copy the two folders, help and system, from where you unzipped it into your UT2003 directory. This should place all the files into their correct locations.

Here is the files and where they should be if you want to doublecheck:

UT2003/System/SniperArena.u
UT2003/System/SniperArena.int
UT2003/System/SniperArena.ini
UT2003/Help/SniperArena/SniperArena.ini.sample
UT2003/Help/SniperArena/LICENSE
UT2003/Help/SniperArena/SA_README.html

You should then edit your UT2003.ini file and add this to the [Engine.GameEngine] section of your ini: ServerPackages=SniperArena

(remember not to leave a space after ServerPackages=SniperArena in your ini file)

You can change the setting of the sniper arena by editing the SniperArena.ini file. Look in the SA_README.html file for more information

OK, I edited my ut2003.ini file. I was under the impression that I only needed to do that if I was going to be running a server. I will try it out in a bit. Thanks! :)

Most users of this mutator would be installing it on servers. This includes when you "host a multiplayer game" which is a "server".
It will work on single player but you can't install it on your pc and then join a server and expect it to work. Just like most other mutators, It is made to be installed serverside. When you join a server running the Sniper Arena mutator, it will be automatically downloaded and installed for you!

I will ask Spoon to make the directions a little more clear!

Umm... how exactly do I contact him? Or maybe you could relay a message? I would like to fix the Sniper Rifle's pickup and add a configuration screen as well. Have him email me at csdgames@adelphia.net.

Got it working. Also, while I can't remember whether it was actually there before I added it to my server packages or not, maybe this is why: The mutator shows up as "Frnz Sniper Arena" and not just "Sniper Arena"--I may have just been looking in the wrong place. :) That said, this mutator kicks arse! I didn't realize how much I missed the sniper rifle until I tried this baby out. Thanks! :cool:

I can't prove it just yet, but I think Ray@VSK has hijacked the mutator and claimed it as his own. Which he has done with countless maps and mutes. Here's a link to the UT2003HQ.com uploaded files page (http://www.ut2003hq.com/uploaded/upitup_download.php)

I hate it when lamers steal the hard work of others and say it's theirs

Downloaded this and was hyped to play but it seemsI can't pick up any ammo and that all the players seem to be just standing around.

Need help!!!

SwitchArsenal, the only weapon replacement Mute you'll ever need. (http://users.adelphia.net/~csdgames/SwitchArsenal)

I can send you my version of Sniper Arena if you can't get the normal one to work with SwitchArsenal.

dont put mutators out on the web that are the same name but are a different size!!!! I see 106 and 107b zips here and inside these zips i see SniperArena.u for both!! 1 is 822k and the other is 841k! Big problems here when u do this for clients and servers ie. Version mismatch!! some have the 822k one and others have the 841k one! PLEASE when u upgrade or change the mutator change the .u and .int and other files with it to a different name like SwitchArsenal106.u and SwitchArsenal107b.u!! then U are sure to avoid version missmatch! This logic must be followed or your mutes are doomed!!:eek: :eek:

Heres a few, Ancient world is new! But I been using the flymutator6 and the sniper rifle binslayer combo in the switch arsenal so when U are flying around in maps with a sniper
rifle its really quite different than ground play and much more
areas to explore and hide fo snipers! Heres my rotation for the fly mute with sniper ect.

Are there yet special maps for it? I remember I logged onto a Sniper-server in UT where they had this great map. Huge building complex + some outside on the street with Dark and Light areas. Anyway .... I just mean, I liked that Sniper server also because of its special Snipermap.

Yes, you can run custom maps with this mutator like any other... We have custom maps on our UT2003 server 66.151.183.45 why don't you check it out!

You might have been talking about our UT sniper server... sounds like snipertown or campers paradise... those maps are still on our UT server 208.254.35.238

Wow, that map is beautiful, but it brings my 1ghz processor, 512 megs of ram and radeon 8500 TO ITS KNEES! I could barely move around. :( It is pretty though!

I found this in the Maps and mods forums, it's a perfect little sniper map: http://www.ina-community.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=251513&highlight=2019

Indeed ... reminds me of that map I was talking about earlier. I got a P4 2Ghz, 512 MB and GeForce 4 TI 4200 128 MB, it ran perfect on that .... but I set everything to Low/Normal ... but I run on that anyway .... and it still looks great.

LOVE the mod :cool: :up:

two bugs : The matches start with no crosshair, i must zoom in and then zoom out for my dot to reappear

and

When the match ends, the gun displays the firing graphics (in the 3rd person view)

Hi,

Anyone know some great maps for it? Apart from the Room-maps I mean. Some great streat maps would be lovely. I played it online last weekend, I'm hooked now. Might be adding it to out own server, but we need maps for it too.

We have some pretty good maps on our server if you want to download them. We had the big room maps in the first pack but we've taken most of them out of rotation. So far, there aren't a lot of city maps, and these are the best sniper maps I could find as of about a month ago. I'll be searching for more again soon.

If you just want the Sniper Rifle and don't care about the other options, you can use SwitchArsenal mutator and the Sniper Rifle. You can set up the sniper any way you want with that.

SwitchArsenal Mutator (http://users.adelphia.net/~csdgames/SwitchArsenal/SwitchArsenal4.zip)

Sniper Rifle for SwitchArsenal (http://users.adelphia.net/~csdgames/SwitchArsenal/SniperRifle108.zip)

You should be able to set the speed of the weapon with the SwitchArsenal configuration system.

If you are using this on a server, you might also want to get a patch for SwitchArsenal, which runs some stuff better.

Does anyone know the person that created this Sniper MUTATORS e-mail? I cant seem to find it on his site. I wanna ask him if he could get it to work with the excessive MOD with explosive rounds just like in UT1. Or am i asking the wrong guy?
