UTils v2.5 by [TTH]PJMODOS

[=====------·········· WHO WHAT WHY ··········------=====]

MODOS Utils are server actors that was originaly created by me for

my UT server:

TeamBalancer - actor that balance teams when any user writes

"MUTATE BALACETEAMS" in console.

AutoRecorder - actor for automatic serverside demo recording.

MODOS ScoreBoard - changes ScoreBoard to show more info.

SplashLogo - Allows you to display texture (logo) at begin play.

If you don't know how to create UT texture package

with logo see LogoHowto.txt.

It will NOT show logo on servers with UTPureRC5b,

but should work with UTPureRC5b2 and later.

See History for latest changes.

[=====------········· INSTALLATION ··········------=====]

Installation is easy, just place the MODOSUtilsV25.u file in your

system directory and start editing the server .ini file.

Add the following lines to the [Engine.GameEngine] section:

ServerActors=MODOSUtilsV25.TeamBalanceActor

ServerActors=MODOSUtilsV25.AutoRecorder

ServerActors=MODOSUtilsV25.MODOSSBServerActor

ServerActors=MODOSUtilsV25.SplashLogoSA

First line is for TeamBalancer, second is for Autorecorder, third

is for MODOS Scoreboard and fourth is for SplashLogo.

If you use MODOS ScoreBoard or SplashLogo you must include

this line too:

ServerPackages=MODOSUtilsV25

And if you use SplashLogo you must include this:

ServerPackages=logopackage

(replace logopackage with name of your texture package)

Now the AutoRecorder configuration, add the following section to the

same server .ini:

[MODOSUtilsV25.AutoRecorder]

bAutoActivate=False

Password=

DemosDir=../Demos/

DemoNameFormat=%L_%M-%D-%Y_%H-%I

MODOS ScoreBoard configuration - add the following section to the

same server .ini:

[MODOSUtilsV25.MODOSSBServerActor]

ShowClickBoard=True

ShowBonusInfo=0

And SplashLogo configuration - add the following section to the

same server .ini:

[MODOSUtilsV25.SplashLogoSA]

LogoTexture=logopackage.logotexture

LogoDrawTime=6.0

CaptionLineOne=

CaptionLineTwo=

CaptionLineThree=

CaptionLineFour=

(replace logopackage with name of your package and logotexture with name of your texture)

[=====------········· SETUP ··········------=====]

Detailed description of configuration.

AutoRecorder configuration:

- bAutoActivate : If set to True then auto demorecording will start

at the begining of every map, otherwise it will

record demo when user writes "MUTATE SERVERDEMO"

in console.

- Password : If you allow users to start demorecording you can set

password, so only users that have password can start

recording. I you leave this empty password is not

required for start recording. Syntax for recording if

password is set is "MUTATE SERVERDEMO PASSWORD".

Password is case sensitive.

- DemosDir : Directory where to place demos (with trailing slash and without spaces).

- DemoNameFormat : Pattern for demo name. Following flags are

replaced:

%L - Level Name

%M - Month

%D - Day

%Y - Year

%H - Hour

%I - Minute

%S - Seconds

%N - ServerName

MODOS ScoreBoard configuration:

- ShowClickBoard : If you want to see green flag at playername

in tournament mode when player is ready set

this to True. If you are using UTPure and want

ClickBoard I recommend to set ClickBoard in UTPure

to False and in MODOS ScoreBoard to True.

- ShowBonusInfo : 0 = Nothing, 1 = NetSpeed, 2 = Efficiency.

This work only if 16 or less players are on server

and resolution of player is 800x600 or more.

In DeathMatch and LMS can't be showed both PL and

BonusInfo, so if you set this to 1 or more then only

BonusInfo is showed in DM and LMS.

SplashLogo configuration:

- LogoTexture : Package and texture name.

- LogoDrawTime : How long is logo showed in seconds.

- CaptionLineOne : Text

CaptionLineTwo : that will be

CaptionLineThree : displayed

CaptionLineFour : under logo.
