UT2Vote Mod/mutator setups

[ProAsm]

Yes, this vote button is a real bone of contention.
Basically to get to this menu you need to press the Escape key, and UT2Vote and the Escape key are great enemies
There is a bypass for this but this enables clients now to escape out of their vote menu's without UT2Vote even knowing about it and hence could create all sorts of wierd voting results.
Best is to try it and see how it goes.
At the end of the GameType= string for each game add the following:
?CustomGame=True

Was interested on how to write up UTPlus to work with UT2Vote5.1.

UTPLus info here:

http://www.unrealadmin.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=12630

Want to stop using UTComp 1.6a and start using UTPlus... Want to use it's Brightskins, HitSounds and LAN status display functions. How would I write this up in UT2Vote5.1?

I only ask, because i think UTPlus has a few diferent Mutators and I think it takes control of the server like UT2Vote does, so was wondering if it was possible to get the two working together.

Thanks.

[sh0V3l]

just add the mutator mutator=UTPlusServerV1.MutUTPlus in either servermuts= or the gametype string in ut2vote and dont use its AccessControlClass you will be fine i ran it but didnt like it it lagged and froze up intermitantly needs work still lol

[gammo]

So what do I add here:

[UT2Vote51.UT2VotePackages]

UTPlus has two different *.u file names:

UTCLient

and

UTServer

Which of the two needs to go in the [UT2Vote51.UT2VotePackages] area, so it all works without the AccessControlClass stuff. Cause basically I just want to run a few side muts and not the full version.


I just did it like this and it worked fine:

Packages=(MutClassName="UTPlusClientV1.MutUTPlus",ServerPackages=UTPlusClientV1")

++++


Well one day after that, no it's not fine. The same thing happens on our server, play freezes up and other weird stuff.

Feels like an incompatability bwtween the two things. UTPLus on it's own and in control of the server runs fine, np. But when hooked up under UT2Vote, things go pear shaped....

Anyone figured out to use "AlienSwarm 1.3" with UT2Vote?
PLS help me. I don´t know what gameclass and Map i´ve to use. thx in advance.

I wrote MapMixer into UT2Vote like this:

[UT2Vote51.UT2VoteMutators]
Mutator=(FriendlyName="MapMixer",HideVote=False,MutClassName="MapMixer.MapMixer",Voted=False)

[UT2Vote51.UT2VotePackages]
Packages=(MutClassName="MapMixer.MapMixer",ServerPackages="MapMixer")

It works OK, there are sum features of MapMixer that are pretty cool, but I think UT2Vote and MapMixer are not suppossed to mix, because UT2Vote takes over the maps via the voting menu. But during game (As Admin) I can get MapMixer to change maps (After setting it up for specific gameplay).

Sometimes at the end-of-game map change, if no one votes then MapMixer might change the map or UT2Vote might change the map, wich ever counts down first.

I was just curios as to how it would all work. And wanted to know if it was possible for them to work together.

[hanzov69]

I love this add-on, but I am having some problems:

First, we play UTXMP on a normal server, and would like to allow voting for it, the problem is I am not able to figure out how to get it set up in the UT2Vote51.ini file, here is what we have

GameType=(GameName="Expanded Multiplayer",HideVote=False,Clan=True,RequiredPlayers=1,MapLimits=0,ServerName="Superimposable - XMP",UseMapList=False,DefaultMap="XMP-Sirocco",MapPrefix="XMP",AltMapPrefix="",GameClass="XMP.XMP",Mutators="",Commands="?MaxLives=0?GoalScore=30?TimeLimit=20?MinPlayers=4?MaxPlayers=16?MaxSpectators=2?Translocator=False?Weaponstay=True?BalanceTeams=False?ForceRespawn=False?PlayersMustBeReady=True?Tournament=0?Difficulty=5?GameStats=True?FF=0?GameSpeed=1.00?NumBots=3")

Any ideas on how to make this work?

The other thing is we like to play a "hardcore" deathmatch, with Tactical Shadows, berserk weapons, faster game speed, etc. When I set up this gametype like so:

GameType=(GameName="Hardcorp Deathmatch",HideVote=False,Clan=False,RequiredPlayers=1,MapLimits=0,ServerName="None",UseMapList=False,DefaultMap="DM-Antalus",MapPrefix="DM",AltMapPrefix="",GameClass="Hardcorp.xDeathMatch",Mutators="UnrealGame.MutBerserk,UnrealGame.GameSpeed",Commands="?MaxLives=0?GoalScore=30?TimeLimit=20?MinPlayers=2?MaxPlayers=16?MaxSpectators=2?Translocator=False?Weaponstay=True?BalanceTeams=False?ForceRespawn=False?PlayersMustBeReady=False?Tournament=0?Difficulty=5?GameStats=False?FF=0?GameSpeed=1.00?NumBots=1")

The problem is that when I try and choose a gametype of Deathmatch (verses Hardcorp Deathmatch) from the web admin interface, it will still switch to Hardcorp Deathmatch. Also, The increased game speed doesn't seem to work... Ideas?

Thanks in advance, I am pretty new to this ut2004 dedicated server business

[ProAsm]

Everything here looks in order just make 100% sure you have the right GameClass in each case as if you dont have exactly what the author stipulated it wont work - period!.
Check in the accompaning .UCL file as there you will see the GameClass.
With your second problem and the GameSpeed, you need to remove the ,UnrealGame.GameSpeed from your Mutator list and at the end of the Commands= section change the ?GameSpeed= command to what ever you want like: Eg. ?GameSpeed=1.35

[hanzov69]

Proasm, thanks for the response.
Here is what I've changed ini entry to:

GameType=(GameName="Hardcorp Deathmatch",HideVote=False,Clan=False,RequiredPlayers=1,MapLimits=0,ServerName="None",UseMapList=False,DefaultMap="DM-Antalus",MapPrefix="DM",AltMapPrefix="",GameClass="Hardcorp.xDeathMatch",Mutators="UnrealGame.MutBerserk,TacticalShadows.MutTacticalShadows",Commands="?MaxLives=0?GoalScore=30?TimeLimit=20?MinPlayers=2?MaxPlayers=16?MaxSpectators=2?Translocator=True?Weaponstay=True?BalanceTeams=False?ForceRespawn=False?PlayersMustBeReady=False?Tournament=0?Difficulty=5?GameStats=True?FF=0?GameSpeed=1.75?NumBots=1")

However, when I try to change to the game type from the web admin, here is what the console displays:

Failed to load 'Hardcorp': Can't find file for package 'Hardcorp'
Failed to load 'Class Hardcorp.xDeathMatch': Can't find file for package 'Hardcorp'

I would assume this has something to do with generating the .u file...unfortunately GameMake3 pukes when I try and do this and claims that "UT2004.ini file not found"

I currently have GameMake3 installed to my \ut2004\System\ directory, so UT2004.ini should be in the local path...

Thoughts?

[ProAsm]

Ahhh ok, so you are using GameMake.
1. What is the actual name of your .U file - Hardcorp.u ?
2. Look inside the Hardcorp.ucl file and see what the Classname is:
3. Yes the UT2004.ini should be in the system folder - double check.

If you not sure, explain your proceedure using GameMake, maybe you trying to extend a game that does not exist.
I made a Hardcorp.u for you to test.
Just copy the string from the GameMake.ini to your UT2Vote51.ini in the GameType section.
http://www.proasm.com/files/other/hc.zip

Although GameMake looks for the UT2004.ini file, it actually uses the Default.ini file.

[hanzov69]

Proasm, you are a hero!

The hardcorp.u file works perfectly, thank you so much..
I realized my flaw, for reasons that escape me my UT2004.ini file was read only...not sure why this matters, but changing permissions fixed this, thank you so very much!

[ProAsm]

Yes basically Gamemake needs it NOT to be Readonly.
GameMake renames UT2004.ini to UT2004.gmk then it copies the Default.ini to UT2004.ini, does its compiling, deletes the now UT2004.ini and then renames the UT2004.gmk back to UT2004.ini
So as you can see, it cannot be Readonly

Glad you came right

I am testing the ClanMatch settings, and get everything working fine, go into match, but game loads default weapons in map rather than our custom weapons that work properly thru normal game play thru UT2VOTE59. I tried to add the mutators manually to the ini file under clan match, but still no luck.

Is there a way to get the clanmatch to run same mutators as in the regular game?!?!

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

[s§s]CommDown

[ProAsm]

In the ClanMatch Setup Menu there is a place to add whatever mutators you want.

[[s§s]CommDown]

I see that i can choose mutators, but not add the custom sniper rifle mutator and trans etc...

[ProAsm]

Make sure your mutators are added to:

[UT2Vote59.UT2VoteMutators]
Mutator=(FriendlyName="Whatever",HideVote=False,MutClassName="Whatever.Whatever",Voted=False)

WE DONT USE ANY OF THESE MUTATORS, BUT USE THE MUTATORS THAT ARE REFERENCED IN THE 'SERVERMUTS' LINE. SO ALL THE MUTATORS IN THE SERVERMUTS LINE MUST BE ADDED TO THE 'UT2VOTEMUTATORS'?

If so, the match only allows for 5 mutators to be selected, when we are running more than 5 at a given time.

I appreciate your help ProAsm, Thank you in advance. Let me know if u need to see any more of the ini.

[ProAsm]

Firstly before we continue.
I'm surprised anything works at all as you MUST have all the default games (12 listed in original ini) under:
[UT2Vote59.UT2VoteGameTypes]

If you dont want them votable or visible then set HideVote=True but do NOT remove them as UT2Vote needs them as a base reference for other games.

Secondly - No the mutators in the ServerMuts= do not have to go into the
[UT2Vote59.UT2VoteMutators]

Here just set HideVote=True if you dont want anyone to vote for them.

Regarding the 5 mutators allowed in a match is possibly a problem.

What you can try is instead of putting the Mutators in the ServerMuts= rather put them to the Mutators= in the GameType=(GameName="Sniper_TDM"...
A ClanMatch does not use the ServerMuts= so try this and see how it goes.

[[s§s]CommDown]

Putting the mutators in the gametype fixed the problems. Thanks a ton ProAsm! Greatly appreciated.

[ProAsm]

Great stuff - glad I could help
