Description
================================
NBBombDB - a DeathBall mutator
================================
Files included:
NBBombDB.u NBBombDB.int NBBombDB.ini Readme-NBBombDB.txt
MakeMD5Package.bat
Install:
Simply copy the included files into your UT2003System folder
Server/LAN:
Open up your UT2003.ini file and search for the [Engine.GameEngine] section. At the end of this section add the following line:
ServerPackages=NBBombDB
Start the MakeMD5Package.bat to "register" the ServerPackages currently installed including the new NBBombDB.u package. Else nobody will be able to connect to your server! Use this batch for other mutators that need a ServerPackages line as well.
Features:
The mutator only affects the DeathBall gamemode and is a specialized version of the BombingRun mutator. The Ball is more like a live bomb that will blow up after X seconds held. 5 seconds before it blows up it starts beeping to warn the holder to get rid off it in time. After the ball was thrown everyone can pick it back up again. If the timer reaches zero the bomb explodes using the Redeemer explosion. So everyone that's close gets toasted.
Bots:
They know that the bombball will blow up and try to pass it on to a team mate if possible. Else they try to get rid off it in time to pick it back up. However there is a slight chance that the bots do not react fast enough and so they sometimes blow themselves up. Just like the human players ;)
Thanks to:
Jesse "Warren" Taylor and his office people for the idea to the original BombingRun mutator.
All the folks that send in some emails asking me for a DeathBall version of it.
have fun,
