Another new UT1 mutator

H0B · 29th Mar 2004, 12:31 AM

This is another small mutator for Unreal Tournament 1 called AlienMode.

AlienMode spawns pupaes and pupae eggs around the map that will infest the map in different areas if not killed. The pupaes start out small and grow to larger pupaes overtime that will then create eggs. It is possible to kill all of the pupaes and eggs on the map but is usually very hard as they tend to sneak past you and infest a new area. It also has two options for MaxAliens and MaxEggs.

It's nice to see that someone is still working on UT1. I've stopped the development of Apocalypse Weapons (my Mod) for a while, and I'm not sure if I'm going to continue someday, but I have it in mind, it's still a possibility.

Anyway, keep up the good job

Interesting mod , a bit easy even at highest settings , but very challenging if used in conjunction with the UltraHard mutator. A few flaws though : the mini-pupae's collision cylinder/hitbox is so small they're impossible to hit even with explosives (only the shock combo effectively gets rid of them) , and the larger pupae have a hard time actually biting you (they lunge at you but can't inflict any damage unless you stand still)

The biting/lunging damage values should be increased imho. Also , I'd suggest introducing a new infestor class : the young skaarj warrior. Egg laying pupae don't fight well , they're only challenging on cramped maps where they can block and corner the player. Small pupae would grow up a bit , then evolve to young skaarj warriors if the max egg limit is reached or to egg laying pupae otherwise. It would add pressure to the game.

I only ever got the eggs appearing and nothing hatched from them even after 30 minutes. How's that?

Oh yes , that's a mutator bug , though the eggs spout little goo balls they don't give birth to pupae. It only happens in non-DM game types (works fine on DM , team DM and LMS)

My bad. What a newbie mistake, I'm embarassed. lol
bNoMonsters was true.. That's what you get with reinstalls and a new UT.ini

I adapted this for use with ThieveryUT today. (poor job as I have no UScript skills, but it seems to work)
I hope you're fine with this HOB.
