[UT] Is it possible to make an arena mutator of an existing mutator ?

[Zur]

A guy I'm on contact with has a zark rifle mutator that works with UTPure. However, he would like an arena mutator which the current mutator doesn't have. Is it possible to make an arena mutator that will work in conjunction with the existing mutator ?

The following is what I've come up with so far. Ucc will complain because of references to outside packages. I've added the original mutator in the editpackages list and the arena mutator will compile fine but it doesn't seem to do anything when it's loaded in a practise session.

class ZM_SLRB_II_AR_Arena extends Arena;

function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant)
{
	if ( Other.IsA('Weapon') && Other.class!=class'ZM_SLRB_II_ZarkAssaultRifleZ.ZM_SLRB_II_AssaultRifleZ'  )
	{
		ReplaceWith(Other, "ZM_SLRB_II_ZarkAssaultRifleZ.ZM_SLRB_II_AssaultRifleZ");
		return false;
	}
	else if ( Other.IsA('Ammo') && Other.class!=class'Botpack.BulletBox' )
	{
		ReplaceWith(Other, "Botpack.BulletBox");
		return false;
	}	
	return true;
}

function Class<Weapon> MyDefaultWeapon()
{
return class'ZM_SLRB_II_ZarkAssaultRifleZ.ZM_SLRB_II_AssaultRifleZ';
}

defaultproperties
{
}

Hmm, maybe my question seems clear as mud and there's certainly nothing special about the code snippet above. However, the question would be if it's possible to have a weapon mutator and an arena mutator that uses it in *two separate packages*.

I invite you to download Minigun Madness to see an example that uses two separate packages.

Edit : Added the modified Zark that works with UTPure and the original Zark used on clanbase.

Problem solved ^^. I'd forgotten to modify the int file and got an infinite recursion error. I fixed this by adding a check for the weapon class when replacing weapons and also added a conditional statement at the end as the Zark Assault Rifle is derived from the classic Sniper Rifle.
