★ UTSwap - Map Inventory Swapper ★

[Que]

UTSwap gives admins the ability to exchange any item on any map with any other item including custom weapons/pickups.

Below is my Sample.ini entires.

Code: Select all

[UTSwap.UTSwap]
DefaultGun="Botpack.enforcer"
bDebug=True
SwapItem[0]=(bUse=False,GameName="",MapName="",OldItem="Invisibility",NewItem="Botpack.UDamage")
SwapItem[1]=(bUse=True,GameName="",MapName="DM-Deck16][",OldItem="WarheadLauncher",NewItem="BotPack.HealthPack")
SwapItem[2]=(bUse=True,GameName="",MapName="DM-Phobos,DM-Affinity,DM-AbandonedCity][",OldItem="Invisibility",NewItem="Botpack.HealthPack")
SwapItem[3]=(bUse=True,GameName="",MapName="DM-HyperBlast,DM-Barricade,DM-Morpheus,DM-Codex",OldItem="Invisibility",NewItem="Botpack.UDamage")
SwapItem[4]=(bUse=True,GameName="",MapName="DM-LastCrusader][",OldItem="Invisibility",NewItem="Botpack.WarheadLauncher")
SwapItem[5]=(bUse=False,GameName="",MapName="DM-Agony",OldItem="WarheadLauncher",NewItem="Botpack.Thighpads")
SwapItem[6]=(bUse=False,GameName="",MapName="DM-Agony",OldItem="WarheadLauncher",NewItem="BotPack.HealthPack")
SwapItem[7]=(bUse=True,GameName="",MapName="DM-Agony",OldItem="WarheadLauncher",NewItem="BotPack.UDamage")

Note how various Items have been replaced using UTSwap in different Maps.

Unable to Swap Invisi in Map DM-Codex as it appears to be Triggered and cannot be changed instead it will be removed if using UTSwap.
Alas Manually editing the map seems to be the only way around this for Codex.

UTSwap Version 4

This Mutator does not require any ServerPackage.
However any Modified Items will need ServerPackages.

Mutator=UTSwap.UTSwap

Any Pickup Item can be swapped with any other Pickup Item.
The above item settings are not case sensitive.
The OldWhatever can be an abbreviation of the original but be
carefull not to make it too abreviated

In the ini you have a GameName and a MapName.
This is so you can swap something in a certain game and or map.
You can have several maps seperated with a comma ','
Leaving the Gamename and or Mapname blank the all games and maps will be used.

Should the level start with incorrect DefaultWeapon, means the Minigun ammo has changed.
Which ever weapon that has replaced the Minigun or Enforcer should become the DefaultWeapon:
DefaultGun=
For instance in SwapItem 2 below set DefaultGun="Mac10.uzi"

Examples
SwapItem[0]=(bUse=True,GameName="",MapName="Morpheus,Codex,",OldItem="Invisibility",NewItem="Botpack.ThighPads")
SwapItem[1]=(bUse=True,GameName="My DeathMatch Game",MapName="",OldItem="WarheadLauncher",NewItem="Botpack.Chainsaw")
SwapItem[2]=(bUse=True,GameName="",MapName="",OldItem="Minigun",NewItem="Mac10.uzi")
SwapItem[3]=(bUse=True,GameName="",MapName="",OldItem="Miniammo",NewItem="Mac10.macammo")

Items 2 and 3 will need a ServerPackage=Mac10

What are the advantages of this, opposed to Stuffswapper?

[ProAsm]

This is purely an experiment to swap anything with anything and is not menu driven.
StuffSwapper is an excellent mod but has restrictions in that it is purely menu driven and running it on a server is very difficult.
It is also restricted to UT stuff only where we are trying to include external mods although it has a way to go

I don't know anything about running StuffSwapper on a server. However I can say that it is not restricted to UT stuff only, though it depends what you mean by this. You can use anything from mods that is compatible with UT so I've got configurations that include weapons or pickups from a lot of mods (from Marathon Ressurection to Nali Chronicles to FLA to Legacy and so on).

Your mutator has the advantage of being map specific and so would be more useful than StuffSwapper to those wishing to swap certain items in certain maps which they played a lot - that would certainly be a big plus for some users.

Nice man

[esnesi]

You can indeed fill the SS ini with other mods.
But i see this can be useful for certain maps indeed which can't be edited.

added version 5 incase version 4 dont work for you.

version 4 works good for newnet pickups

Is everything all right here ?

Code: Select all

function bool AlwaysKeep (Actor Other)
{
...
  if (  !Other.IsA('Inventory') )
  {
    return False;
  }

please explain Sektor2111 what is problem here?

[sektor2111]

The problem is OTHER Actor from map which... is it removed ? Why ? AlwaysKeep can react against a wide range of actors which are doing relevance checks.
I would like to see FULL source-code as long as I might want using a complete INT file opening access to ALL config variables from PREFERENCES menu command. Right now not everything can be edited from there especially that "Struct" as long as it is not using BRACKETS and not having source-code in package. To be honest I'm not really 100% interested about such things which are "limited" like that with code stripped.

[ProAsm]

Here is the source for v5
I extract the source for obvious reasons but if anyone wants it in future, I'll mail or pm it to them.
My compiler, compiles and extracts at the same time, just the way I do things.
This version is a bit buggy but we getting there

Yep... Now I can use Dispersion and all configuration is accessible from Preferences...

One thing it's interesting:
This line is valid:

Code: Select all

SwapItem[3]=(bUse=True,GameName="",MapName="",OldItem="Armor1",NewItem="UnrealShare.Amplifier")

But item is called "BotPack.Armor2" - evidence in how did they mess up making a names soup...
