I. Introduction

WORM, the Weapon/Object Replacement Mutator allows you to replace any default UT weapon or pickup with (almost) any weapon or pickup from (almost) any UT modification. This brings many new possibilities into UT, such as a match using ChaosUT's Proxies and Sword, and U4eT's DollBomb and Zapper, and a few NextGen weapons along with a couple from Weapons Factory all in the same match!

II. Installation

• Unzip the following files into your UnrealTournament\system directory:
• WORMreplacer.u
• WORMmenu.u
• WormReplacer.int
• WoRMplugUT.int
• WoRMplugU1.int
• Put the text files and this html file into your UnrealTournament\help directory or somewhere else.
• To use WORM, set up your configuration in the mod menu (see below) then choose "**WoRMutator**" as your mutator when starting a game.
• If you are playing a multiplayer game, open UnrealTournament.ini (its in the system directory) and do a search for ServerPackages. Add WoRMreplacer and whatever packages you plan to use weapons out of at the end of the list.

• Weapons:
• use the lists to choose what you want to replace the weapons with.
• defaults button resets them to the UT defaults.
• Unreal1 button sets slots to their Unreal1 equivalents.
• choose NONE to have nothing in a slot.
• push the Clear button to set all slots to NONE.
• Ammo Toggles:
• Toggle if ammo for the given weapon spawns or not.
• the 2 buttons are self explanatory.
• Pickups Setup:
• use the lists to choose what you want to replace what with
• defaults button resets them to the UT defaults.
• Unreal1 button sets slots (except jumpboots) to their Unreal1 equivalents.
• choose NONE to have nothing in a slot.
• push the Clear button to set all slots to NONE.
• Options:
• Renumber Weapons - When checked weapons will reorganize themselves so there is one weapon per Inventory slot (except the sniper/redeemer slot which will contain 2).
• Last Man Standing - Starts players with all weapons and 100 armor, for use with LMS type game modes.
• List Editor - see next section

The fastest way to import single items into WoRM is the List Editor found on the Options page of the mod menu.

• Adding Items:
  • Item Description - type the item's name how you want it to appear in the menus here. (Example: "SLV-Strangelove2")
  • Item Summon String - type the item's summon string in in packagename.itemname form. (Example: "slv2.konglauncher")
  • Add Item button- press this button once you have the 2 blanks filled in to add the item.
• Deleting Items:
  • Select Item menu - Select the item you wish to remove from the lists.
  • Delete Item button - hit this button to remove the selected item.
 
 

PlugIns are definitely the fastest way to get an entire mod's worth of items into WoRM.

• To install a PlugIn, simply place the int file in your UT\System folder. Next time you launch UT, all of the weapons & pickups included in that mod's PlugIn will show up in the WoRM menu. 
• If you wish to stop a weapon or pickup from appearing in the WoRM menu, open up the PlugIn in Notepad, find the entry where the item is listed and add a semicolon (a ";" without the quotes) at the beginning of the line.
• You can get PlugIns at either the WoRM site or mod authors might include them with their mod (and I highly encourage them to). Mod authors are encouraged to create & include their own PlugIns with their mods. See the WoRM site for details on this extremely simple process.

VI. Known Bugs

• Problematic Weapons:
• Weapons from TacOps, Strike Force, Infiltration versions after 2.75 and similar mods do not work due to the way these mods were designed. There is no known way to fix this. Do not e-mail me regarding these mods not working or asking for the summon strings.
• See WORM history.txt for a complete version history.
