About

Sniper Arena 2K4 Lite is a simple attempt to replicate the UT99 sniper arena mutator. This mutator uses the same fire rate and damage amounts found in the UT99 sniper rifle. You spawn with 30 sniper rounds, and can hold 50. Each pickup contains 10 rounds. This mutator can be configured for arena and replacement mode

This is a KISS ( Keep It Simple, Stupid! ) style project. It's not going to have a lot of bells and whistles.

Happy hunting,
spoon

Installation

Unpack SA2K4Lite_100.zip into your UT2004 directory. It will install SA2K4Lite_100.u, SA2K4Lite_100.int, SA2K4Lite_100.ini.sample into your System directory and SA2K4Lite_100.html into your Help directory.

Once installed, you need to edit your UT2004.ini if you plan to run a server. This file is located in your System directory. You need to add

ServerPackages=SA2K4Lite_100

to the [Editor.EditorEngine] section. If you don't, the package won't be downloaded to a client when they connect. Most likely, they won't have the rifle.

If you wish to edit any of the settings, copy SA2K4Lite_100.ini.sample to SA2K4Lite_100.ini, and edit that file.

Configuration

The sample/default INI looks like the following ...

[SA2K4Lite_100.MutSA2K4Lite]
bAllowTranslocator=False
bRifleSpawn=False
ArenaGameType=XGame.xDeathMatch
ArenaGameType=XGame.xTeamGame
ArenaGameType=XGame.xCTFGame
ArenaGameType=XGame.xDoubleDom
ArenaGameType=XGame.xBombingRun
ArenaGameType=UT2k4Assault.ASGameInfo
ReplaceWeaponName=XWeapons.SniperRifle
ReplaceWeaponName=UTClassic.ClassicSniperRifle

bAllowTranslocator - Allows the translocator in arena style games.
bRifleSpawn - Controls where you spawn with the sniper rifle in replacement mode games
ArenaGameType - The game type that should be a arena style game.
- XGame.xDeathMatch = Deathmatch
- XGame.xTeamGame = Team Deathmatch
- XGame.xCTFGame = Capture The Flag
- XGame.xDoubleDom = Double Domination
- XGame.xBombingRun = Bombing Run
- BonusPack.xLastManStandingGame = Last Man Standing
- BonusPack.xMutantGame = Mutant
- SkaarjPack.Invasion = Invation
- UT2k4Assault.ASGameInfo = Assault
- XGame.xVehicleCTFGame = Vehicle CTF
ReplaceWeaponName - The weapon(s) to replace.

The "bAllowTranslocator" and "bRifleSpawn" can be configured through the WebAdmin and Configure Mutator option, however the game type section can not. If you would like to have a game type be played in arena style, add "ArenaGameType=MyGameType.Name" to the SA2K4Lite_100.ini. If you like the game type to use replacement mode, then remove the line that corresponds to that game type.

Not much else right now.

Known Problems

In arena mode on Onslaught, weapons lockers will give you the pickup amount of ammo. It will limit at 30. I'm not sure if this is right or wrong.
