:b00m: UT'99 Translocator Arena Mutators V1.00 - (C) :b00m:Eek! 2005
====================================================================
"Boom!"               http://www.b00m.dk | unreal://ut.b00m.dk

WHAT is this?!

 This is a full set of weapon arena (including InstaGib) mutators that,
 contrary to the ordinary arenas, optionally allow the Translocator to
 be used as well, if it's enabled.

 And I DO mean a full set! The original UT arenas left out a few weapons,
 but with these mutators it is also possible to do sick stuff like a Redeemer
 arena, Chainsaw arena or even a Telefrag arena. If you want to get spammy,
 there's also a Sludge and a Ripper arena; or to practice your pistol ownage,
 an Enforcer arena as well. (I also fixed the small flaw in the original Epic
 impact arena as well - no more pulse ammo all over the place).

 The mutators are for the classic Unreal Tournament 1999 version.

HOW do I install them?!

 I'm too lazy to make a UMOD, plus I generally hate UMODs for being really
 annoying to install when you need to do maintain your server through a SSH
 terminal, grrr. :P But it's still easy to do by hand:

  Copy the b00m-XlocArenas.u and b00m-XlocArenas.int files to the System
  directory of your UT installation.

 Yes, that's it! ^^

HOW do I use them?!

 When you start UT, you will now be able to select the new arenas from the
 Mutator list (formal mutator names listed in parantheses):

  * Xloc Arena          (b00m-XlocArenas.XlocArena)
  * Chainsaw Xloc Arena (b00m-XlocArenas.ChainsawArena)
  * Hammer Xloc Arena   (b00m-XlocArenas.HammerArena)
  * Enforcer Xloc Arena (b00m-XlocArenas.EnforcerArena)
  * Bio Xloc Arena      (b00m-XlocArenas.BioArena)
  * Ripper Xloc Arena   (b00m-XlocArenas.RipperArena)
  * Flak Xloc Arena     (b00m-XlocArenas.FlakArena)
  * Rocket Xloc Arena   (b00m-XlocArenas.RocketArena)
  * Minigun Xloc Arena  (b00m-XlocArenas.MiniArena)
  * Pulsegun Xloc Arena (b00m-XlocArenas.PulseArena)
  * ASMD Xloc Arena     (b00m-XlocArenas.ShockArena)
  * Sniper Xloc Arena   (b00m-XlocArenas.SniperArena)
  * Redeemer Xloc Arena (b00m-XlocArenas.RedeemerArena)
  * Insta Xloc Arena    (b00m-XlocArenas.InstaArena)

 Remember that the translocator is completely optional; simply enable
 or disable it, at your preference, the normal way.

WHYever did you do it?!

 I'm not just a shockwhore, I really am an xloc-whore as well. There, I said
 it. ^^ Old schoolers may bitch and moan all they like because their usual
 tactics of spamming the only exits from the spawn-points won't work, but I
 get off on translocating. Seriously, I want one IRL. I want to telefrag my
 ex-gf if I ever see her again, and stuff. So anyway.

 Translocating increases the action on a map - everything becomes far more
 fast paced IMO, and the paths taken much more creative and unpredictable. If
 you're good with the xloc - and I am, hehe - you can take paths other people
 can't, telefrag at will and generally whirl all over the place. B) And if
 you're not, you have a great excuse to whine and moan, feel free to do so...

 I was brought up with xloc, so I missed it badly on the arenas, even in
 Insta. Playing without xloc is like suddenly waking up in 2D. I obviously
 wanted to be able to navigate the maps the way I normally did. Thought about
 patching the few arena mutators I used but never got around to doing it.

 Then, all of a sudden a friend of mine, Saxius (he runs a Dominaton server
 at 80.62.61.14 - not that I'm into Domination; that gametype's been giving
 newbies the misconception that it is OK to camp since 1999, hehe) wanted
 the translocator and Insta combination as well. So I thought I might as well
 get this done; wanted to look at UnrealScript anyway...

 This is the result. My first mutator was Insta+Xloc only, but was quickly
 expanded to this full set of arenas. You wouldn't believe how litte
 UnrealScript code it actually took; Epic's idea of creating a neutral, game-
 centric object oriented language for the Unreal series rocks so much!
 Respect.
