Hi all.
I have a question. I occasionally play on a server where I suspect that shock rifle damage/combo diameter was tweaked server side (to make it stronger and with larger diameter). Is there any way to check my suspicions (and other weapon configs) from client side with some logs/debug commands? I can connect to server any time/record demo, but I'm not admin

I guess your best way is, to convert the cache you download from the server.
And import those files into the editor, to see which values got modified to compare it to the original.

Or you could ask the admin of the server for the information.

Re: UT99: check weapon configuration from client?
I noticed this on our newnet combogib server. The shock combo hits and kills outside the actual shock combo radius.. very weird.Andyyyyyyyyy wrote: ↑Tue Jun 09, 2020 3:18 am Hi all.

Thanks, that Sounds doable. Could you advice where to look for proper file? I have no idea where to start

If the weapon is modified by a server-side-only Mutator, it is impossible for clients to gain the code.Andyyyyyyyyy wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 7:23 amCould you advice where to look for proper file? I have no idea where to start
If the code is also available for clients, I'd do the following:
- Rename your UT cache directory temporarily.
- Start UT and connect to the server where you noticed the changed weapon. UT will create a new cache directory and stores all files there the server sends to you.
- Verify that the weapon behaves as you noticed earlier.
- Stop UT.
- Identify all files in the cache with extension "u" by inspecting the file "Cache.ini" in the cache directory.
- Open these files with a text editor and look for corresponding code, for example by searching for the weapon name.

You can use UTPT.exe (Unreal Tournament Package Tool) - this has a number of functions besides viewing the content of, and decompiling, .u files and so it's a very useful tool. You should be able to download it at the usual UT repositories (&file=utpt20beta5.zip). There are others like WOTgreal as well.
