[keitarou15]

so my monstermash is running ok no system problems but the thing is that ive played the internet ones and there are lots of differences between theirs and mine for example i dont know how to make monsters like flies or pupaes appear in swarms and also the my monsters dont have shields AND AAALSOO i cannot have double automag AAAAAANNNDD AAAALLLSSSOOOOO the weapons like the flakcannon the eightball and the dispersion pistol cannot have visible upgrades when i grab a blue ball it just says (in the flakcannon for example) 1.25 damage upgrade for all weapons and thats the only thing it says and for the eightball its only random like jump higher or +188 health or you got some rockets and also my other weapons dont have random upgrade the asmd just upgrades the deamage and the projectile and when it finishes doing that it only upgrades my startin health IF ANY OF YOU GUYS KNOW HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS ¿would you be so kind to tell me how? thxs in advance

[keitarou15]

Urgh...

Well most of what you want to know is in the MANUAL, and if you install a current UTF 10F and not change ANY setting it already should do all that by itself, because by default some swarms are configured.

If your weapons do not upgrade when picking up a blue ball then I have to ask if you are using weapon mods!? Because the weapon upgrade function is something specific to UTF and only works with weapons of that mod. Weapons from other mods cannot upgrade, so then you always get generic upgrades.

im not using mod weps and i know that if i use infiltration or serpentine weps the wont turn white and get an upgrade but the thing is i dont get the upgrades i want
for example the ones that appear in online monstermash i cannot get those an is there another manual i can read because the one that comes with it doesnt help much

[keitarou15]

and also ok to be specific what i cannot do is i cannot make monsters have shields
i cannoy make monsters appear in swarms and i cannot make weapons like asmd or flak cannon have ramdom upgrades and i cannot upgrade the double automag that comes whit the package if you can help me whit that i would eb most grateful or maybe give me the link for a more complete manual thxs in advance

[TCP_Wolf]

Like I said... it is all in the manual that comes with the mod (see below).

If it is not working, it means you are not using the latest UTF, or your install of it is incomplete or corrupted! This can happen, for example, if you were using older versions in the past and updated. Some files maybe were not updated and now your files are mixed from different versions.

I advise you to remove all UTF files, get a fresh copy of UTF 10F (http://wolf.tcpclan.net/projects/Unreal/UTeamFix/UTeamFix_10F_public.zip) and try again with defaults.

If the following manual excerpts are missing or largely different in your manual, it would confirm it is an old version.



Automag:

Fairplay Enforcement (GameType)

Setting Effect Default

AddAutoMag
You can add an extra gun to the inventory of every player right from spawntime if you wish, since the DispersionPistol is relatively weak (I personally think it's totally useless in multiplayer).

If you choose to "AddOneAkimboMag" you enable the Dual-Automag in the game and give one to each player (like in UT :rolleyes:) and when you pick up a 2nd Automag you will yield 2 at once!

Shields on monsters:

MonsterDifficulty

Can be set to harmless, normal and aggressive

The harmless setting often makes monsters ignore players, sometimes even when shot at. Still if you start a fight, you will get some shots back. Monster skill level is 0. This playing mode is intended for babys at the age of 3 trying to figure out where the trigger is or grannys that have lived past their glorious fighting careers...
The normal setting is an "average" where monsters already go on active lookout for enemies, but their skill and motivation is not enough to pose too much trouble.
One last note, in aggressive mode, monsters also do get rewards for killing players and other monsters, such as shields and regeneration abilities, which -CAN- cumulate! So a titan that keeps killing critters and people may at some point become very difficult to defeat.
aggressive is what you should play really!!

Blue balls

BlueBallsChance

A rough chance indicator when monsters drop a blue ball when dying. Blue balls are magic upgrades... What exactly they do depends on what weapon you hold and other circumstances... go pick up lots!

Swarms

SpawnMonsters

blah blah blah...

The formula is:
[CLASS] [LIMIT] [SWARM]
Here are some valid example entries:

UnrealShare.Fly 99 15
UnrealI.SkaarjSniper 3
UnrealI.Titan 1

UTF already has monstermash included with it. You don't need to install it (monstermash), if you have installed the latest UTF. I'm pretty sure the UTF manual states this.

[keitarou15]

ok then let me explain this right ive just reinstaled the game and the only thing appart from the standart files that come with the game i also installed the utfix latest version but monstermash does not appear as a playable botmach how can i play it then?and yes i read the manual and it says that it already comes whit utfix as a mod so no need to install it but what i want to know is how can i start a game in monstermash??

[Smirftsch]

maybe most easiest way:

add this to your unreal.ini:

ServerPackages=UTF_Resources
ServerPackages=UTeamFix
ServerPackages=UTF_CustomProjectiles
ServerPackages=UTF_Items
ServerPackages=UTF_GUI
ServerPackages=UTF_Pawns

and startup unreal with:
Unreal.exe DMAriza?Game=UTeamFix.DeathMatchGameFix

You can easily add this to the shortcut which you use to startup unreal, or simply create a new shortcut to unreal -> right mousebutton -> properties -> Shortcut tab -> target

You can replace DMAriza with whatever map you want to start with.
Once its started, you'll have the UTF navigation and you can startup monstermash from there.

Hope this helps

Hi Fellas,
I have a really simple and stupid question. I've got all the above done but need to know how to log in as admin. I've set up an admin password in unreal.ini but the admin login option on the UTF menu is disabled, so I can't select monstermash.
Thx
Bub

[Smirftsch]

hey bubbles, is that really you? Long time no see

If you set up the adminpassword in Unreal.ini and the userpassword in User.ini you should be able to access anything without entering a password.
But iirc I was able to log in with the admin password set in Unreal.ini just fine.

PS: My oldunreal serpentine server is often voted to run monstermash

alogin [password]
Logs you in as admin during game!

alogin [username] [password]
Logs you in as admin during game trying to use an individualized account!
If your current playername is one of the registered admins usernames, just enter your own password.
