Thx uhm guy with dots in name...I was looking for a small but useful mutator to replace monsters in invasion. This one is nice and configurable and i like the boss option very much.

[{TARD}-C3nT]

dots, Is this compatible w/ all versions of rpg?

[.:..:]

At least it were with all RPG versions I tested with.

[<RfdS>GAFFA]

will this work with mutators that have config(UT2004RPG) in the scripts? just wodering if it's easy to setup from ut2004rpg.ini to the ini this uses too? because people get upset if they lose there levels, so i am kind of worried about adding this.

[.:..:]

This mod has nothing to do with UT2004 RPG, so no.. you won't lose your levels (unless you forget to add that mutator to mutators list, but who would forget that?).

[<RfdS>GAFFA]

oh thought this replaced the need for ut2004rpg, lol my bad

will it show my server under invasion list? or will they need invasion x to play my server?

[.:..:]

It will show up under Invasion servers, no worries about that.

I'm not really seeing how to config the waves w/ this mutator. Disregard that statement. I opened my eyes for a split second and read the readme.

Holy **** man this is an awsome mutator!!!!! Can you possibly make is so you can convert the boss monster health to more than 10.00

Like however much health you want to add. And possibly making it so you can change the size of the boss monster. That would be awsome.

And while i'm throwing ideas out here is another, have like monster manager built into the control panel for it, have a way to arm the nalis with whatever weapons you want them to have.

This pwns the other invasion so bad it isn't even funny, where was you 3 years ago?

Actually thats health multiplier (like Warlords 500 health X 10 = 5000 health), but sure I can make it unlimited.

And possibly making it so you can change the size of the boss monster. That would be awsome.

And that sounds like a good idea aswell.. thought it might be better just to create a new class under whatever monster you want and change properties on that.

i agree, can you also maybe make so you can chamge the time limit on boss. because some will take longer than 5 minutes to kill

[.:..:]

You can already change timelimit to the boss. If you cant find the option for it in game, open up InvasionX.ini and edit line: "MaxBossFightTime=", and set some timelimit there (in seconds) for fighting the boss (you can also set any value for boss health in the ini aswell, but will reset back to 10 if you edit on it in game again).

I think there may be a problem adding monsters into the waves via while in game. Seems like the "box" that you write the monster name into for it to be added into the waves doesn't have enough spaces for some of the monsters with longer names. Thus they are not showing up in the waves, can actually throwing the waves off. for example
satoreMonsterPackv120.SMPDevilFish
the s in satore is cutt off leaving just
atoreMonsterPackv120.SMPDevilFish

Is their a way to just copy and paste the monster extensions into the ini and allowing all of the monsters to appear in the wave config menu for you to choose from, like satore.
So I don't have to keep minimizing my game to copy the lines off my satore ini and maximize my game again to paste it into the monster config while in game. After I minimize my game about 5 times it just crashes with a horrible gpf that won't allow me to restart the game again without rebooting my pc.

And maybe incorporating a monstermanager like config into the mutator where you can change the size/health of the incomming hordes of monsters seperately from the boss monsters. Thus allowing total control over the waves. I noticed that monstermanager does not work for invasion - x

Another option that would be neat would be to have it so you can name every wave, so when you start the game it will say for example wave 1- Nalicow madness, and have it come up on the screen similar to the way the warning pops up on the screen before the boss monster spawns.

These are just my 2 c3nts, i'm loving this mutaor but I think with a few tweaks it could be the Holy Grail of invasion

Monster Manager has wave names as a feature.
