Readme for NRMC_SerpentT for Unreal Tournament
-----------------------------------------------------
My entry for the UT99.Org No Rules Mapping Contest.
This is an unusual entry as it isn't primarily intended for use in UT99 but it can be run with Oldskool (that counts right?).
I've been planning for many years to rebuild / replace select levels from the original Unreal campaign.
Here is the first, it isn't 100% done but time is up for the contest.
This map (and mutator) replaces Demonlord's Lair (NaliLord.unr) with The Serpents Tail (NRMC_SerpentT.unr).
In Unreal (or Oldskool for UT99) simply start a new campaign with "ExpEM's Warlord Plus" mutator selected to play.
Every effort has been made to debug and have the level coop compatible.
Speed running ninjas can skip the boss fight.
If you can beat this map on difficulty 3 (without skipping the boss fight) please upload a vid on youtube
-----------------------------------------------------
A new warlord class has been written just for this map, the code of which is bastardised from the queen, titan and Unreal Evolution's warlord.
From the Warlord code:
//=============================================================================
// ExpEM_WarLord.
//
// Teleports to ExpEM_WarlordDest actors with bastardised Queen code.
// -ExpEM_WarlordDest MUST have the same tag!
// -This is to prevent multiple warlords from telefragging each other.
//
// Can teleport into combat, set orders to "TeleportIn". From bastardised Titan code.
//
// Can do an appearance and be destroyed, set orders to "TeleScare". Bastardised the "TeleportIn" code.
//
// Heavy Attack, idea stolen from Unreal Evolution. Bastardised that code too.
//
// By Michael 'ExpEM' Nunn.
//=============================================================================
This warlord would probibly work well for monsterhunt maps too.
