well according to what i can gather it can be done either way, via the community menu, or via the command on ut2k4's exe setup...( sample on this page: http://www.bazzinet.info/EpicModSystem.html )
example execution start for ut2k4.... ut2k4.exe -mod=mymod
example execution start for unrealed for ut2k4.... unrealed.exe -mod=mymod

altfire the flamer to shoot a fireball at the speed of the rangers Lance weapon alt-fire
Would that require a new particle effect? or do you disguise a sphere with the existing flame particle effect that a character gets when you are flamed by gunner or tech alt-fire? lol.

This game so so rocks....
I have been playing XMP since..... well... the original beta-testing era (if I can pretend it was so long ago)....
TO THIS DAY..... I see nothing wrong with any of the weapon balances. I like to think that the gas is so large and strong because well.. frankly, the tech hasn't really got much special goin for him 'cept for easily destroyed deployables and a point blank alt-fire shottie you betta stay away from.
I AM the original gas spammer I declare that proudly because I have never felt that there was anything wrong with the stuff.... Gas will kill your own team too... You pay the price for using it. I am also "famous" for using gas to slow the action down. This is on purpose so's I have a chance to see that super-fast-freakily-good-shot-enemy that would otherwise just walk right thru me while I never even see them coming... this is a wonderful "action equalizer" for those hectic scenes where everyone is everywhere all at once. Gives you a chance to SEE what is going on... who's where, and to try to save yer own skin.
The pistol with its seemingly outrageous range.... Well... it has so few shots and at close ranges in heated action is VERY difficult to use. I have noticed that it is easier to use at distances than up close... Is it just me? Regardless.. so few shots, at least it is useful in some capacity... (Someone did alude to the fact that reality need not apply because this IS a game) It's supposed to be a VERY large calibre pistol... so... it stands to "virtual reason" that it will shoot VERY far and with lethal force.
Regarding the power & Range of the shottie... I guess to me it's the "spirit of the game".... this game isn't set in the OLD WEST... where you could only hope to hit the side of a barn IF it wasnt raining.... We're talkin HI-TECH super-inductive particle accelerator barrels here!!! wAhahahhhahaaa... This AINT YO-GRANPA'S ol' shottie Boyz-n-Gerlz.... get with the TIMEZ. Embrace it or DIE!
Regarding turrets and mines. All I can say is anybody who complains about them is LIKELY the type of player who doesn't like to deal with unpredictable environments. Walk thru a door... BOOM... killed by a mine... well... that mine was in plain sight.... WHY?... did you just walk in? Turrets killed you? well...GEEEEEE... they ARE pretty easy to see.... and easy to kill... There is no excuse for any complaining in my book as relates to XMP...
The only spamming I would like to see stopped is that of those whining about what weapon is "the cheese". If it's part of the game.... Enjoy your well deserved death by that part of the game... .else.. .STHU and go play elsewhere.
Most who play XMP have met me in game & will be happy to point out to me that I am not the "upperclassman in skills" here... which I plainly acknowledge, so I may not be qualified in their eyes to offer some advice... but here goes:
Everyone who plays XMP should become equally comfortable with all 3 classes so as to learn a full appreciation for the variety of gameplay available. Each class has its DEVOTEES to attest to this idea, that you CAN enjoy each class, for "all of the inequities" etc..
My longwinded rambling now done..... Here are my possibly dumb questions which have possibly already been answered:
SO... WILL THERE BE ANY OF THE VEHICLES FROM UT2K4? and .... pLEEEEEASE... make spidermines available to gunner?
BTW... XMP ROCKS SUPREME!!!

You gotta give gunner a hitscan weap. Otherwise he's useless at anything but indoor clusterfùcks. Maybe take flamer, turn it into something like quake shaft or UT's pulse secondary and give it some decent range and power.... Or a gun that doesnt do much damage, but has huge knockback. That way gunner's no longer a sitting duck, he can at least knock off the annoying sniper off his camping spot....
Even back in U2 XMP with its horrible netcode and low FPS beating a decent sniper in a fight was next to impossible if you were a gunner. Now add good netcode, 100 FPS and ppl with 30+% accuracy with hitscan (yes, I'm talking about ppl who can hit at least 1 out of every 3 shots fired, and there'll be tons of them), and the gunner becomes even more useless in any fight. His big shields arent much help either, since sniper/pistol does 90% damage to the health, not shield. At best gunner's role would be to sit and spam rockets at the artifact node for the whole match.
Or redo the shield's system, so that they absorb 70-80% of any damage. That way having 600 shield might actually have a meaning vs sniper.
Another thing that'd be nice would be actually having a UT99-style shock rifle and comboes. SR has been the signature weapon of all unreal games (good ones anyways), so it'd be nice to have it.

I guess we'll just have to see when a public build's released. No chance on seeing the shock rifle though, eh?
