Description             : mutator for UnrealTournament

================================================================

Installation Instructions:
==========================
Just extract all the files to your Unreal Tournament "system" folder.

Mutator Description:
====================
This mutator will 'handicap' players according to numbers at the beginning of thier player name.

It uses a 4 number system:
1st number = speed level
2nd number = damage level
3rd number = health level
4th number = weapon level

you put these numbers in fron of your player name, like this: "1234-MyPlayerName"
All settings are 1-9.

The first 2 numbers, speed and damage, work like this:
"1" - 1.1 * normal
"2" - 1.2 * normal
"3" - 1.3 * normal
etc.
etc.


The 3rd number, Health, works like this:
"1" - Starting Health = 110
"2" - Starting Health = 120
"3" - Starting Health = 130
etc.
etc.

The 4th number, Weapon, works like this:
"1" - Starting Weapon = ShockRifle
"2" - Starting Weapon = BioRifle
"3" - Starting Weapon = PulseGun
"4" - Starting Weapon = SniperRifle
"5" - Starting Weapon = Ripper
"6" - Starting Weapon = MiniGun
"7" - Starting Weapon = FlakCannon
"8" - Starting Weapon = RocketLauncher
"9" - Starting Weapon = Redeemer

If any of these first 4 positions of the player name start with anything besides 1 - 9,
the player starts with the default in that category.

Example:
If Player name is "3456-Homeboy", when you respawn -
* Speed will be 1.3 times normal
* Damage will be 1.4 times normal
* Health will be 150
* You will be given a MiniGun

Notes:
======
This mutator was made to 'balance' games where there is a big difference in skills/age.
 I have different age kids and we all play over my home LAN,
 this mutator helps to keep things "fairsquare" ;)
