running a mutator and keeping the server Standard?

[legacy-DisposableHero]

so how exactly do i run a mutator without making my server UNstandard? i know its been posted but icouldnt seem to find an exact answer

[legacy-AcidReflux]

Actually, it's dependent upon the mutator. The mutator needs to be created to hide itself. No mutator that changes gameplay should do this though.

if it were to work..you would list it as ServerActors=yourmutator here instead of ServerPackages=yourmutatorhere...but as said already..it is dependant upon the mutator as to whether this will work..and not good practice to do with mutators that affect gameplay..as you are misleading

[legacy-Urbanite]

yeah but can you do it with mutators like low grav and game speed? Please tell me how, let me deal with the ethics, lol

yeah but low grav and game speed is different. how do you manipulate that? its not in the server packages.

[legacy-Nihlist]

low grav i dont think you can do

game speed possibly you can

check for this section for gamespeed

[Engine.GameInfo]
GoreLevel=2
MaxSpectators=2
MaxPlayers=16
AutoAim=1.000000
GameSpeed=1.000000
bChangeLevels=True
bStartUpLocked=False

im guessing if its altered you will fall off the standard list

[Frogger]

no..i was mistaken..mostly too lazy to read...neither of those can to done to the best of my limited knowledge.. the setting you referenced, Nih(i)list is rendered useless in 2004 i think..

[legacy-Nihlist]

yes i blieve your right unless you have movement modifier on then it looks at it

[Frogger]

well..it's ignored even then according to http://www.unrealadmin.org/modules.p...enginegameinfo

GameSpeed=1.000000 Percentage of "normal speed" that game will be played. 1.0 represents 100% (This setting is ignored in UT2004 - gamespeed is now controlled by a mutator)



you now add this section for the mutator

[UnrealGame.MutGameSpeed]
NewGameSpeed=1.000000 Modifies the gamespeed (this is now the only way to modify the gamespeed).

[legacy-MystikPowerz]

So basically, if you run Low Grav or Quad Jump on your UT2004 server, it becomes un-standard. Now what does un-standard mean? Does it make it so your stats aren't recorded?

[legacy-Nihlist]

no it just means it wont show up on the standard servers list

[legacy-MystikPowerz]

Oh ok then. So how exactly would you find these servers? I tried using the filters and no servers showed up with the mutators I selected. And, how popular are ONS servers with gameplay mutators?

[Frogger]

on the internet tab..on bottom left there is a ccheck box "show std servers only"..for a stupid reason...this is checked by default.
