FULL CHANGE LIST from version 2199

GamePlay:

- allow several different default characters. Change the default character by adding the following line to the [xGame.xPawn] section of your user.ini file: PlacedCharacterName="aname" where aname can be Gorge (theDefault), Sapphire, Malcolm. Mokara, Rapier, Brutalis, or Roc

- fixed no instigator bug with goop and grenades if killer was blown up

before making kill.

- added new mutator "DelayedSpawn". This mutator delays the initial

spawning of superweapons and super powerups (like UDamage, superhealth, and supershield)

- fixed sporadic problem with giving assist credit to players not

involved in flag capture in CTF

- fixed sporadic problem with pawns not animating on clients

- Fix adding in an extra bot when you've chosen custom bots and are

spectating.

- custom bots stay on the teams they were put on, and ignore team

balancing in standalone games.

- The player who changes the color of the DDOM point scores the 5

points, not the last player.

- fixed bug where could sometimes translocate into static meshes

- spectators can only chat with spectators if bPartitionSpectators config option is true. This option is false by default, and can be made true by adding bPartitionSpectators=true to the [Engine.BroadCastHandler] section of your UT2003.ini file.

- fixed displaying name of player who returned flag in flag return

message

- announce name of scorer in bombing run

- "use map bot count" always adds at least 3 bots for team games

- no time limits in LMS or Invasion

- fixed joining LMS server as spectator after match has started not

limited to only spectator slots

- server side control for turning off weapon viewshake by adding the following line to the [engine.gameinfo] section of your UT2003.ini file: bWeaponShouldViewShake=false

it turned on accidentally.

- added configurable property to control screen flash brightness, with values between 0 and 1 (1 is the default). To modify this property, add the following line to the [Engine.PlayerController] section of your user.ini file. ScreenFlashScaling=+1.0

- added new mutator "UTClassic" ,with its own server browser icon. Modifies the weapons to feel more like the original UT's weapons: All weapons do more damage. Slower weapon switching. Shieldgun charges faster, slightly longer range, less self damage for impact jumping Minigun firing modes switched, no lockdown effect Shockrifle regular fire slower, does more damage. Combos take less ammo. Slowed down rocket firing rate. Sniper rifle faster firing, no secondary hit damage. Bio charged up damage relatively lower (countered general weapon damage increase). Flak alt fires up a little more. Translauncher more ammo, recharges faster, transbeacon fired up more FOV and eyeheight adjusted

- added configurable properties to UTClassic to control double jumping. These are all enabled by default. To disable, add the following section to your UT2003.ini file: [UTClassic.MutUTClassic] bCanDoubleJump=true bCanWallDodge=true bCanDodgeDoubleJump=true

Setting bCanDoubleJump to false turns off all double jumping. Setting bCanWallDodge=false turns off wall dodging. Setting bCanDodgeDoubleJump=false turns off doublejumping after dodging.

players not to be able to fire when they seemed to still have charge

- fixed transbeacon leaving flare behind when crushed by mover.

- telefragging always gibs.

- improved redeemer guiding

- sniper rifle zoomed visible area expanded

- custom weapon crosshairs: You can specify custom crosshairs and crosshair colors for each weapon. To do this, add the following lines to the appropriate weapon section in your User.ini file:

- To customize bots without using the custom bot config menu, add a [UnrealGame.CustomBotConfig] section to your UT2003.ini. Then add lines like this one to the section: ConfigArray= CharacterName="Gorge",PlayerName="The_Reaper",FavoriteWeapo n="xWeapons.RocketLauncher",Aggres

siveness=0.400000,Accuracy=0.000000,CombatStyle=0.400000,StrafingAbility

=0.765789,Tactics=0.000000,ReactionTime=0.000000,bJumpy=True)
