AntiCamper

v1.1 by Patrick Freeman - a.k.a. "Mental"



This mutator will cause any player standing in one area for too long (camping) to be punished.

There are 5 settings:
CampRadius, CampTime, CampDamage, Fatness, and Speed.
All these settings can be configured in the "Mental's Mutators" Configuration Window.
which comes up when you click the UT "Mods" menu and choose "Mental's Mutators".

The settings are saved to the file "Mentals_configs.ini" in your UT system folder.
That file is used for all my mutators, with each mutator's settings having the appropriate name in front of the setting.

Here's how they work:

CampRadius
how large of a radius around a player to consider them a camper.
the default is 100.

CampTime
the number of seconds that a player can be in the CampRadius before they are considered a camper.
the default is 5.

CampDamage
how much health to take off a player when CampTime is reached.
the default Health penalty is 20.
players can die from camping!

Fatness
how much fatness to add to a player when CampTime is reached.
the default Fatness penalty is 20.
default starting fatness for each player is 128
maximum fatness a player can reach = 240 (really fat!)

Speed
the percentage of normal speed to take away from a player when CampTime is reached.
the default Speed penalty is 10.
minimum speed a player can have = 50% of normal.

Each time a player is caught camping they will receive a message showing what penalties they have suffered.

This mutator was not intended as a slam on "snipers",
as I myself like sniping and it's a skill to hit a 'good' player who is moving-jumping-dodging or otherwise acting like a crazed maniac.
No, the intent was to discourage "hiding" in games like "Last Man Standing" or "Fox & Hounds"
where a player can win by simply finding a hiding spot and just sitting there.
