OldUnreal (Engine)

Hey everyone, I'm new and i registered because I love Unreal 1, It's my favorite Unreal and i wish epic would make a sequel.

I have a question about coop though. Are there any mods/or any way, to make it so you only have 1 life while you play coop? Something that annoyed me last time - the game was too easy with a friend when we just kept respawning.

Either a way to set lives so when you die the level restarts would be good, or is there a mod that maybe makes it so you only respawn when your mate isn't fighting, and if you both die the level restarts? And I know we could just restart the level when we die, but doing that takes away from the fun (so please don't point that out).

Any help is appreciated. 

Sorry, your out of luck. I've never heard of such a thing in my life.

I like this idea, but haven't heard about such a mod either.
However, in 227f and soon 227g we have new difficulty levels, up to 6, older versions only had 3.
Start your server with "?difficulty=6", while 6 is really hard. Not sure if it can be beaten with 6 (and no other modifications) at all, at least alone in singleplay, in coop it shouldn't be a problem but way more challenging.

Hmm, well there's a server where you have 3 lives, and you have a revive kit which revives dead players. When all is dead, server restarts. It's made with XCoop, so you might be able to get the code for it, and instead of 3 give only 1 life.

Jackrabbit had mentioned that idea to me as well when I started running a coop server recently. Not sure if he was coding something along those lines.

Hey, can anyone package that Lives thing as a mutator possibly? The link in that thread is down, and I've never been too savvy with the Uengine.

I know the Quake engine well but that's probably because I played Quake first.

And, Holy shit just tried it on Difficulty 6 with a friend, we got our asses handed to us by the first brutes Question about difficulties - how do you carry them across map changes, because every new map it seems to revert to the original hardest (unreal) difficulty.

Repackaged with a .INT so you can select the mutator from the menu.

Thanks a lot. I've never known how to use Unreal 1 mutators (only UT) Where do i put the files? In system? and how do i select the mutator when I start my server?

EDIT: figured it out. Is there any way to select the mutator instead of running it from the console when opening a level?

The files go in your /system folder.

If you're running the server directly through Unreal's menus, swap to the UMenu console (go to advanced options --> drivers --> console and change it to UMenu then restart Unreal) and then you can add mutators when you go to start a new multiplayer game.

If you want to use them in SP, I'd start a new botmatch, change the gametype to coop, select the map and choose the mutator.
