For UT2003, Epic decided to remove the sniper rifle. This did not sit well with the sniper community of Unreal Tournament ( UT99 ) who were being left out in the cold. So for UT2003, I decided to create a simple mutator that would add back the sniper rifle. After 11 releases, the simple mutator evolved into more than just an arena mutator. Then it was announced that UT2004 would include the sniper rifle, I figured my work was done. However, while the UT2004 sniper rifle is very nice, it still does not cater to those that play arena style. So now, here we are. The UT2004 version of my sniper "arena".
Enjoy, Thanks
Col Kassad - For the making the sniper rifle models work. InstallationThis version uses the same SA2K4Media package as Sniper Arena 2K4 100. The archived file should contain the following files (along with images for the README)
This archive should be unzipped into your UT2004 base directory in order for the files to be placed in the correct location. ServerPost InstallOnce you have installed Sniper Arena 2K4, you will need to edit your server .ini file. Servers use UT2004.ini, if not told differently. You need to add a few entries to your server's ini file. The Engine.GameEngine is required in order for a connecting client to receive the mutator from the server via a download, if they do not have it already. The UWeb.WebServer section is required for configuring the mutator via a web browser. In the sample below, replace 2 with the next available number if 2 is already in use. [Engine.GameEngine] ServerPackages=SA2K4Media_100 ServerPackages=SA2K4_101 [UWeb.WebServer] Applications[2]=SA2K4_101.WebServerAdmin ApplicationPaths[2]=/SA2K4WebAdmin If you use AntiTCC or UTSecure, here is the MD5 information.

Web Admin ConfigurationWeb Admin is a feature of UT2004 that allows you to administrate the server via a web browser. It allows you to set the game rules from your web browser. You need to have your server configured to allow for web administration in order to configure Sniper Arena in this fashion. Sniper Arena 2K4 however does not use the normal web admin pages. It uses it's own pages. To access these pages, you need to go to http://yourserver:port/SA2K4WebAdmin in your web browser. Main Page![]() The Main Page shows the current configuration setup. What is shown is a list of game types and which configuration it will use. A configuration can be use by multiple games types.

Map VoteYou can enable Sniper Arena 2K4 via the map vote. It can be added via the UT2004 Web Admin or by adding the GameConfig lines to UT2004.ini. GameConfig=(GameClass="XGame.xDeathMatch",Prefix=,Acronym=,GameName="DM SA2K4", Mutators="SA2K4_101.MutSniperArena",Options=) Sniper Arena 2K4, by default, will match the configuration to the game type, however this can be over-riden. The option is SAConfig and it must be passed in via the Options parameter. For example, if you have two death-match games, and wish them to uses different configurations, you would specify different SACOnfig values for each games. GameConfig=(GameClass="XGame.xDeathMatch",Prefix=,Acronym=,GameName="Test 1", Mutators="SA2K4_101.MutSniperArena",Options="SAConfig=0") GameConfig=(GameClass="XGame.xDeathMatch",Prefix=,Acronym=,GameName="Test 2", Mutators="SA2K4_101.MutSniperArena",Options="SAConfig=1") Valid values are 0 through 9. You can find the correct SAConfig number by looking at the main page on the web admin page, the web admin configuration edit page, or by looking on the mutator configuration, general tab by the configuration name.
