Warm-Up is completely dynamic... that is you can modify all it's parameters also during game.
For example... you can increment/decrement the warm-up time during warm-up with a simple console command.

The Skin-Enhancer is completely different from what used by UTComp.
This module implement 2 enhancer methods... soft and glow... but without modifying or altering the original players skins like UTComp do!
The SOFT mode make all players more visible making skin not affected by lights/shadows.
The GLOW mode add a team-colored glow to the player skin without altering it and without brighting the skin too much. This method is a perfect balance for a fair DeathMatch.

This sounds cool! Better than UTComp. Sorry for comparing this to it. OMG I hate those UTComp BrightSkins! But this sounds AWESOME! :eek:

Thanks alot! :alien::up:

but you cant put colour in your name, and utcomp you can :D

[legacy-byNeutral]

Anyway... the two mutators can be used together, except for the WarmUp... you've to active one only WarmUp (RealUtils or UTComp).

Doing so, you can use all the RealUtils features and still keeping the UTComp vote, Colored names, Enhanced Hud, etc...

This is possible because RealUtils do not change/substitute any UT2004 class like many others mutators do. Because of this, it's 100% compatible with AntiTCC, SafeGame, and most of other mutators.
It is also compatible with 4CTF, 4TDM and many others mod.

Via ini file...
There is two way to make a logo... one is to use the method explained in THIS PAGE (http://www.fh-clan.it/bN_Tutorial01_UK.asp)
The use of this method admit then the use of the 14 different built-in logo effects.

The other method is to create your own .UTX file using for example the UT2004 Map Editor to create a more texture complex Shader class logo texture.
To use this method you have to...
Create your .UTX file with a Shader texture in it.
simply edit the file and search for bN_strFullLogoTexture= and put there the name of your texture in the following form...

bN_strFullLogoTexture=UTXfilename.TextureGroup.tex tureName

...for example if i've created a file named TEST.UTX and a texture named MYTEXTURE inside of it... i'd write so...

bN_strFullLogoTexture=test.mytexture
>> Remember only that... using this method you can't use the 14 built-in logo effects!!!

>> Remember also to add a ServerPackages line for your .U texture file ot .UTX texture file in your server configuration file in the [Engine.GameEngine] section.

----------------------------------

For the sound effect you simply need to change bN_strIntroSound line of your bN_RealUtils.ini file on the server like this...

bN_strIntroSound=UAXfilename.soundName

...for example if i'd like to set an UT announcer sound i could write...

bN_strIntroSound=IntroSounds.Announcers.Announcer_ 01

>> Remember that if you create your own sound poackage you have to add a ServerPackages line for your new file in your server configuration file in the [Engine.GameEngine] section.

Hope you can setup it easily now... let us know ;)

Originally posted by EviilSinner Also what is the server actor selector for? What do you mean exactly?
Anyway... if you mean the "Actor type" in the web admin or the bN_actorType var in the ini file... is the actor that you want to appear behind the logo.
These are the values...

[0 or default] Alien Male
[1] Brock
[2] Nightmare male

Hope this can help you.
