On Fire Mutator v1.21
 
Introduction
 
First of all,   Thank you for using this Mutator.  

It is comprised of several features rolled into a single Mutator to make the top player On Fire in game.   These features have been in use for quite some time and have a pretty good size following with lots of support on the VAS Development Network.


The Mutator Options included are

1.      Hide Mutator

2.      VAS_LOG_Debug

3.      Drop Fire

4.      Drop Fire Chance To Drop

5.      Drop Fire Life Span

6.     Drop Fire Effect Timer

7.     Show Server Details Options

 

 
 Installation
 
To install this Mutator, all you will need to do is to unzip the files to your Unreal main folder.  Files are placed into each folder in system, web and help.

Only use the correct version of UT2003 or 2004 files for the UT you are running. Example if using 2004 only copy the UT2004 Files into the System directory in the 2004 directoy.

Once these files are unzipped you will need to add the client package to the ini file:

 [Engine.GameEngine]

             ServerPackages=VasOnFirev1x21

If upgrading from a older version remember to remove the older package from Server Packages and the Older .u and .ucl files.

Example:  If installing v1.21 over v1.20 Remove the VasOnFirev1x20.ucl and VasOnFirev1x20.u files from system directory

 

 Then restart your Game server, and you are up and running.

 Adding the package to the Serverpackages will download the file to the clients. This will let the clients see the Fire on the Player and ground.

 

 Modifications/Settings
 
#1 - HideMutator

 This will hide the mutator from Game lists so the mutator will not be listed. 

 Setting for this options in INI  file is bHideMutator.

Only set above 1 if in Debug mode. Logging to much to the server and clients will cause lag!

Setting for this option in INI  file is VAS_LOG_Debug. 

#3 – DropFire

Bool (True/Flase) - On fire player drop fire to the ground. making every harder for the top player. Use Mutator Config in game (2003/2004) or Webadmin (2004) to change setting.
