UT99 Chainsaw Weapon [DL][ver Nov 2 2008]

[Sly.]

Me too
And btw there could be a mutator option for the hand. That would make it way easier. Instead of typing into the console "..." you could set it in the mutator properties. I recommend "no hands" as a default option since UT2004 doesn't have hands and if I'd like to include it in a map, I'd prefer no hands

Any progress on this mutator Meowcat? I'm looking forward for the final release

[100GPing100]

well I just have one thing to say, you could implement a mutator that would add the chainsaw to the defaultinventory this way we wouldn't need to summon one if we wanted to play with the other weapons to (if it is already implemented: "Sorry my fault ")

[meowcat]

I might be able to get to it in a week or two. I tried to have it match the original UT chainsaw closely, but I could probably tweak it some more.

[Sly.]

Awesome mutator! But I noticed the following things: the alternate fire mode animation is too fast. Could you make it slowier please? And the enemies explode when you kill them. It's a bit weird If you would change this, meowcat, I would be really thankful!

[meowcat]

Will post the version with mutator included this afternoon (probably around 1500 PST)

[EDIT] Updated version posted November 2 2008. Adds a mutator that gives the chainsaw as a starting weapon and optionally removes the shieldgun.

[dave neun]

well I didn't hear back from you so I went a different route. I wrote a mutator on top of your mutator. This will enable players to choose your Mutator from the mutes list directly and it will replace the ShieldGun. I am leaving you the code I made wrapped here to use in a future release. It is also an interesting thing to people whom have perhaps not ever tried to do something like this.

note to do this you would need to add the original mute and the additional mute to your ut2004.ini as such

class ym_chainsawMut extends Mutator
	Config(game);




function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant)
{
	local int i;
	local xPawn P;
	bSuperRelevant = 0;


    if ( xPawn(Other) != None )
    {
        P = xPawn(Other);

        for (i = 0; i < 16 ; i++)
        {
            if ( P.RequiredEquipment[i] ~= "XWeapons.ShieldGun" )
               P.RequiredEquipment[i] = "ym_chainsaw.ChainSaw";
        }
    }

    return True;
}



function GetServerDetails( out GameInfo.ServerResponseLine ServerState )
{
	local int i;

	i = ServerState.ServerInfo.Length;
	ServerState.ServerInfo.Length = i + 1;
	ServerState.ServerInfo[i].Key = "Mutator";
	ServerState.ServerInfo[i].Value = "ym_chainsaw";
}

defaultproperties
{
     FriendlyName="ym_chainsaw"
     Description="ym_chainsaw ~ Its just pure bad news."
}

to use this on a server the start command would look like this:

?Mutator=ym_chainsaw.ChainSaw,ym_chainsawMut.ym_ChainsawMut

and in your ut2004.ini in the section you would add both packages

[Engine.GameEngine]
ServerPackages=ym_chainsaw
ServerPackages=ym_chainsawMut

alternately here is the compiled code and the source

<<LinkToMuteAndSource>>


okay I now have this thing running on my west coast server as a regular mute, I rebuilt the mute and put an "A" in front of it so it is Aym_chainsawMut the reason for this is the mutes list alphabetically and "y" is one of the last two. This means that anything that also has a shield gun in it that started before "y" would overwrite it on the server. By starting it with an "A" it will always be in the game. Beyond that it will also assure no mismatched packages should you use this mute.

server is usually in the VCTF browser but is often on freon also
server addy is ut2004://68.4.235.110:7777
server name is: [pbg] WeST~Coast *Full~Throttle*-="what ever the current gametype is here"=-

[dave neun]

can you add this code to your Classes and recompile so I can use this on my server??

scrapped for code below

that would be awesome man!

[Lorin-Slasher]

Last I heard, One could acquire it at http://www.rosebum.com/ or something to that effect.
It's under Download>Mutators

There's a lot there.
It's most famous mod is Strangelove which is similar to Rocket X but without the "jets." Mostly ya just ride a rocket around.

[meowcat]

@Lorin-Slasher: I think I remember hearing about Rocket-X for UT99. If you post a link I'll try it out and see how difficult it would be to port.

[Lorin-Slasher]

Heh, it's actually easy. Just read the Readme file and follow the instructions.

Nice though. ^_^
Good to have UT GOTY stuff in the future...
...


that reminds me. There is 1 mod for UT99 that I absolutely LOVED.
It's called Rocket X.
Is it possible to import it to 2K4?

yes I know this is off-topic but it's just a question.
