Weapon/Object Replacement Mutator
Public release #2 (version 1.59)
by J.Follis (Kangus@PlanetUnreal.com)

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
• 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. (Note: multiplayer has never been tested)

III. The Mod Menu

• Weapons:
  • use the lists to choose what you want to replace the weapons with.
  • pickups are filtered out of slots 1 & 2.
  • 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 weapons spawns or not.
  • the 2 buttons are self explanatory.
• Pickups Setup:
  • use the lists to choose what you want to replace what with
  • weapons are filtered out of these lists.
  • 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).
  • Force Respawn= Forces certain items which normally won't respawn to respawn at the default respawn rate of 30 seconds.
  • No Pickup Rotation= Stops all rotating pickups from rotating. An aesthetic preference.
  • Last Man Standing= Starts players with all weapons and 100 armor, for use with LMS type game modes.
  • Add Item button= put a pickup or weapon string in the blank and push the button to add it to the list. You must put them in as Packagename.ItemName. Only pickups (includes ammo) and weapons will be accepted, so this means you can't put weird stuff like wooden boxes in. Also, you must close the window and reopen it before the new weapons/pickups will show up. All working UT and Unreal items have already been added. See summons.txt for mod strings and detailed instructions on finding your own.

IV. Known Bugs

• You have to close and re-open the mod menu before added list items show up.
• Problematic Weapons:
  • U4eT's M16 (U4eT.m16) doesn't work due to the fact it requires 2 seperate ammo pickups
  • ChaosUT weapons with multiple ammo types occasionally cause things to disappear from your inventory.
• See WORM history.txt for a complete version history.
