Assault Bonuspack
413
Shortly after releasing version Although I didn't fix any bugs (none are known), you should replace 412 with 413 as soon as possible, it includes several important optimizations among other internal changes and improvements: 1. RealDamageMode & UnrealMomentumMode have been optimized, they might have slowed you down even if you weren't using them, now they won't slow you down at all. I sacrifized a little customizability (you could set them to values not available in the mod setup menu by editing the INI) for more speed (less lag) and to let admins configure all options through the mod configuration screen. If both options are activated together, you'll be running Knockmatch mode, and weapons don't damage enemies but knock them around four times as much as normally. 2. Spawn protection can't be set higher than five seconds. Any higher value will completely disable spawn protection whereas a value of zero will end protection as soon as you move. Default remains zero, set to six seconds if you want no protection at all, this isn't related to the AssaultCheatProtect option anymore (so you can disable spawn protection while keeping cheat protection enabled). 3. Suicide Crash Protection has been restored, players will be kicked once they reach or pass the -100 score, this value has been hardcoded. You shouldn't rely on it, though, do update your server with the latest UT patch since it fixes a lot of other exploits and bugs as well. IP addresses and player names won't be logged anymore. 4. Internal name changes. The only difference it makes for you is that the UT.INI section label has changed from [AssaultBonusPack.AssaultPlusMutator] to [AssaultBonusPack.EavyAssaultPlus]. You don't have to delete the old section since it will automatically use the new one but do it anyway if you want to keep your INI tidy. 5. External name changes. Mutator and Mod menu entries display the version number behind the name. Very useful since now you can check the version before entering a server. 6. Additional optimizations to reduce possible lag and speed up processing on the server. It should be a lean mean mutator. I'm pretty sure that this will be the final release version to be included with the full Assault Bonus Pack. Get it, try it, play it: |
