Installation

Requirements

UMOD Installation

Just open the UMOD file and the UT setup program should start.
If this doesn't work you can either try to external link repair your UMOD file association or external link download the non-UMOD version.

ZIP installation

The ZIP file contains directory structures, so just extract all files to your Unreal Tournament base directory with the "expand folders" option enabled.
If you want to host multiplayer games you also have to add the following lines to UnrealTournament.ini:

ServerPackages=EnhancedItems
ServerPackages=EIConfigWindow
ServerPackages=EIChallengeHUD
ServerPackages=EIBotpackUpgrade  ; for the Enhanced Items mutator and weapons
ServerPackages=EnhancedRelics    ; for the Enhanced Relics mutator

Enhanced Relics

Description

The relics coming with the first bonus pack for UT have two annoying bugs: First, when you have the AntiGrav boots and pick up the Relic of Speed, the boots get disabled. You still hear the jumping sound, but you don't jump as high as you should. With Enhanced Items and Enhanced Relics these two items work together properly.
The other bug is the relic hud mutator. This hud mutator does not allow other mutators to draw on the hud, unless these are specially designed to work with the relic hud mutator. But this means that mods using such hud mutators require the relics package to be installed. This behavior of the relic hud mutator is explained easily: The relics package was written to be compatible with UT v400 where there was a poor support for hud mutators so they had to "re-invent the wheel". Enhanced Relics uses the standard UT support for hud mutators and is compatible to other "normal" hud mutators.

Since Enhanced Relics are not selected through separate mutators but added via a special selection menu you can activate remote configuration support to select relics from the web-based remote server administration panel. (see Configuration)

Configuration

Enhanced Relics are configured from Mod -> Configure Wormbo's Mods -> Relics.
Configure Wormbo's Mods, Relics

To use enhanced relics in your game, you have to add the Enhanced Relics mutator to the list. You will now play with the relics you selected in the Mods menu. By default all relics will be used.

Compatibility with other mods / mutators

In general, you should put the Use Enhanced Items mutator behind all other mutators that replace items to avoid problems with those mutators.

Frag*Ball

The new Relic of Redemption is compatible to Frag*Ball. The ball will be dropped when the owner is saved from death.

Lifespan mutator

Using the Lifespan mutator (or the Rockets UT LifeSpan Fun Mode) changes the following aspects of gameplay:

Other Mods

The Enhanced Items Mod also has special support for the following other mods:
