Favorite mods/mutators (again?)

TechStorm · Dec 9, 2003

Hello All,

I'm sorta new around here. I used to play UT a long time ago, I took time off, and now I'm back. But I don't play online. I'm just OK with single player.

I want to ask you about your favorite mods/mutators... I guess it has been discussed before, but still!

Here's mine:
1. Bad News! mutator. Monsters spawn from dead bodies. Depending on how many frags since the last death will be the monster that spawns from the body. I actually modified to make it slightly more difficult and called it Armygeddon. I asked the Bad News! author for permission to publish Armygeddon but I decided not to, seeing how the difference was barely visible anyway.
2. Rockets UT rocks. I still think it could be tweaked a little more, but in general I rarely play without Rockets UT anymore.
3. RPUT mutator. (Role Playing UT.) I played with this so much I don't play with this one anymore. But it was nice. I even started my own Role Playing like mutator. I didn't progress much but I did achieve a nice messaging system where the messages queue and scroll right-to-left just above the bottom of the BUD, with a nice colorful pseudo 3D outline effect.

4. Unreal4Ever's Gauntlet mode. Rocket's UT Napalm should help clear these fast.

5. Monster Hunt. I really liked this one a lot but I don't play it much anymore because I got bored of the same maps (they are a few only).
6. Thievery. I don't play it anymore, but I really liked the originality of this. (OK, so it's based on Thief. I meant I liked the originality of Thief.)
7. Ultima Unreal. OK, so it's not been released yet and I'm just waiting for it. I eMailed the team the other day and it sure seems the mod will finish, but they hinted that it is still some ways off.

P.S. I also propose the Unreal Forge mod (any UT version): http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=122241

Few maps for monsterhunt?
Heh, I have 51 maps for that mod right now.
But tbh, most suck :-/

Maps which came with the mod are among the best.
Especially mh-canyon and mh-lonely.

Hey Ultima Unreal team released new screenshots:
http://uu.unrealediting.de/

About Monster Hunt. Can you please tell me the names of good MH maps that do not come with the mod. Thanks!!!

NeoNite · Dec 9, 2003

Sure.

-The great escape maps 1-6: best ones are 1,3,4 and 6 (imho)

They're very hard though. So I suggest you set a high nr. of lives.
Bots won't work. And eh.. it's not designed for bots at all. Purely for humans.

Other good maps...

Mh-Kittara (nice map. Works with bots)
Mh-gekokujou (good conversion of the assault level)
Mh-Demons (hard but fun)
Mh-Barrier (fun!)

Avoid the "the gauntlet" maps (and godzbeta)
These maps are not only ugly as hell, but whoever designed those doesn't understand the word "gameplay". Trust me :-/

Zeroping (2) mutator... Play online and aim exactly where you see enemies on your screen for hitscan weapons, regardless of your ping to the server.

Who Pushed me? mutator... If you hit someone with a weapon that then sends that player to their death (lava, toxic goo, oblivion etc), you get the credit for the frag, rather than it normally counting as a suicide.

Gladiator mod... Each player on the map gets a go at being the champion, being being a set number of lives. The rest of the players all take it in turns to challenge the current champion in a 1v1 duel, with the challengers rotating upon the death of the current challenger.

UTHarvestor mod... CTF with a twist! A skull generator is placed somewhere on the map, which generates skulls (surprising enough!!!) when someone is fragged. Take skulls of the others team's colour to their base to score.

Holywars mod... A halo randomly spawns on the map. The carrier of the halo becomes the saint, who can be given enhanced weapons and protection, while all the other players (sinners) have to try and kill the saint and then retieve the halo (only saint can score points).

If any other fun mods 'n' mutes spring to mind, I'll add to the list $\o/$

SoulHarvester - Get points for capturing the upwards floating soul of someone who's been fragged.

Kray · Dec 10, 2003

Assassins - You need to seek and assasinate one bot, while being hunted by another at the same time. Kill the wrong fella and loose points. This is what I play mostly these days.

This sounds like a pretty good mod to depart from the killing frenzy that is DeathMatch...

AMMAGETSVM · Dec 10, 2003

The mod that gives you the damn jets!
Capture the Xmas tree

I didn't realize there were such other ones out there until I read this thread.

NeoNite · Dec 11, 2003

Arena match mutator:

Select every possible weapon from the retail game (+ most mods) to play.
Say you want to play a game with exlusively the u4e katana, or golems' fists, or the ut chainsaw etc etc :O) get this mutator now!

lightsaber mutator.

size does matter: with each frag you make, you grow. With each time you're fragged, you shrink

Darkmatch mutator!

Corpsemania:
Frag the undead. Zombies, Zombie titans (small ones), big zombies, ghosts... they ignore bots though. Shame. So it's more a humans vs monsters game.

H0B · Dec 15, 2003

There's a quick fix to get the undead to attack the bots: set all the bots to the blue team in bot setup and uncheck balance teams.

NeoNite · Dec 16, 2003

The undead won't attack my bot teammates.
They ignore all bots and go for humans, as far as I know -_-

H0B · Dec 16, 2003

They all on the blue team or team one?
I might just have a newer version that's different than yours though, but I thought they would attack bots on the blue team in the old version also(the bots names in the scoreboard should be blue)

NeoNite · Dec 16, 2003

Well, maybe it's a newer version...
I know when I'm in a room with my teammate bots all monsters attack me...
Bots die cause of two reasons:

-Suicide with rockets trying to frag an undead attacking me
-Being killed by a projectile which was meant to hit me ...

=B I'd love to see the undead take on the bots though

Mxtrmntr · Dec 16, 2003

Thievery is great :tup:
Rocket Arena can be pretty nice as well.

XMaps and XBots are pretty useful; so is the OldSkool mutator (the best SP mods/map packs would be Xidia Gold and Operation Na Pali).

NeoNite · Dec 16, 2003

Chaosut!!

In combination with the arena match mutator this can be fun. Playing with bastardsword only for example, simply rocks.
Bots seem to love that sword

Explosive arrows and those smiley grenades add to the fun.

Jailbreak and MultiCTF

Oh yes, I forgot about Jailbreak...

rors · Dec 24, 2003

There should be a new MH map out sometime just after New Year (depends on the beer/inspiration ratio).
It will be at least the size of MH-Demons but hopefully prettier

Here's what it looks like so far:

Looks promising Rors.

You've been away from MH too long.
