Dynamic footstep sounds

[GreatEmerald]

This is the mutator I was talking about in some other threads, now ready for release - the dynamic footstep mutator. It adds different footstep sounds depending on the surface (texture) you're stepping on, and works with stock textures. Right now it has support for all of the multiplayer maps that come with stock UnrealGold and the two 227 maps, but it is highly configurable, so you can define more textures yourself. See the included readme file for more information.

Note that I haven't tested this in 227h, only in 227i, as UCC has a bug that prevents it from compiling this mutator in 227h. But the mutator itself should work fine in 227h.

Thanks to Smirftsch for the FootStepManager object that made it a lot easier to create this mutator!

You can download the mutator from [url=http://greatemerald.xmpcommunity.com/index.php/unreal/unreal-mods/260-dynamic-footstep-sounds.html]my website[/url].

Since the configuration file is still only partially complete, it would probably be nice to have a place where everyone could add new entries to it, so that in the end it would work with all stock Unreal SP maps and whatnot. I guess this could be done through either the OldUnreal wiki or Google docs. Any suggestions on this regard are welcome.

Right on! Just what I think was needed. Very nice!

Nice

Can you edit the DynamicFootsteps.ini for UT99 ?

[GreatEmerald]

No. This mutator is very heavily dependent on 227 features.

[medor]

ok

I'm gonna link to this under my link for the S3TC replacements.
It may encourage users to do both at the same time, so you may get some config submissions.

Has anyone else had the issue of this mutator eating all the RAM and VRAM then crashing ?

I have a new install on my new PC, and it still bombs after a while.
(using no extra mutators.)

Oh yeah, and the log file is small and seems normal, but I'll get a copy upload next time I try it.
