 LamerBuster v1.05
Introduction:
There are players, which make the game less
enjoyable for all that play, because of their bad behavior. This mutator is
intended to deal with this kind of players ;-)
At
www.rockemhard.com I found that description below, that describes the common
violations of server rules by lamers!
Spawn Killing
Whenever a player dies, they 'respawn' somewhere on the map. Every map has
'spawn points' planned out and placed at certain specific points in the map.
Some players, "spawn killers", thinking they are clever, find one of these spawn
points, then 'camp' right next to it with a powerful weapon of some sort. Now,
whenever someone suddenly respawns in this spot, the 'spawn killer' instantly
kills them before they can even move or defend themselves. This is an unfair
practice. Of course, we are all guilty of spawn killing now and again -by
accident, or because the person who just spawned immediately began attacking us,
or perhaps we just happened to come across them after they spawned, or many
other reasons. But to deliberately camp by a spawn point, intentionally waiting
for someone to spawn so as to get an easy kill, is unfair, and might lead to you
being kicked or banned if the right people notice you doing it.
Team Killing
Newbies tend to shoot their own teammates by accident, though most of the team
killing is done deliberately by veteran players that are just bored or
frustrated and take their aggressions out on other players. Its not allowed so
don't do it.
When playing Call of Duty I
thought that a damage reflection mutator for UnrealTournament will be cool. I
took the Protector_230 mutator and put some useful stuff into it.
Okay. Here you go.
LamerBuster is released!
Have fun!

Features:
- Spawn protection
- Damage reflection (like
in Call of Duty, damage will be thrown back to killer. How much can be
defined.)
- Keep unwanted players
off the server by nick name, not IP
- Kick lamer
automatically off the server, when a amount of violations against server
rules is committed.
- Lamers stay off the
server for the rest of a match, when they are kicked by LamerBuster. When a
new match starts they can reconnect again.
- Punish lamer by
setting them into Gandhi-mode,
what means, that they have to be non-violent until the end of the match,
because LamerBuster will make the lamer toss every picked-up weapon. Hehe...
Change Log:
v1.05:
- Fixed:
selfkills-handling. When using flak-cannon the damage mutator is
called multiple times, what can lead to a wrong counting of
violations. Rules for violations is now set to: 1 shot = 1
violation.
- Fixed:
temporary ban option can now handle 200 BadNick entries.
Optimized for better performance.
- Fixed:
little bug in damage-reflection removed.
- Added:
Gandhi-mode
- Added:
change mutator options through command line, don't need to edit
the ini file anymore.
v1.04:
- Added: temporary ban
player for rest of match option. Lamer has to wait until a new match is
started, before he can join the match again.
v1.03:
- Added: Kick player
option can now be deactivated.
- Fixed: general code
streamlining.
v1.02:
- Fixed: Bug in
damage-reflection removed.
- Fixed: Bug in dynamic
protection removed.
v1.01:
- Fixed: Dynamic
protection works now.
- Fixed: Mutator can now
be used with death match and not only in team matches.
- Fixed: Removed
'tick' function for better server performance.
v1.00:
Installation:
- Unpack all files and copy them into the "system"
folder of your UnrealTournament installation.
- Edit the LamerBuster.ini to suite your needs.
- Add the following line to your server
ini under the [Engine.GameEngine] section (needs to be done, because of
localized messages):
ServerPackages=LamerBuster105
- Restart the server.
- Now you can select LamerBuster at the web
admin page.
Starting server by using a start-up script, e.g.:
startmap=DM-1on1-DavidM
gametype=Botpack.TeamGamePlus
mutators=LamerBuster105.LamerBuster
ini=server.ini
Start with ucc:
./ucc-bin server DM-1on1-DavidM?game=Botpack.TeamGamePlus?Mutator=LamerBuster105.LamerBuster
Port=22900 Multihome=172.22.142.100 -nohomedir ini=server.ini log=server.log
Note:
Change "Multihome" and "Port" to the IP-address and the port for ut of your
server.
Configuration:
FRIENDLY FIRE MUST BE SET
TO A NUMBER BIGGER THAN NULL TO MAKE THE TEAM-KILL-PROTECTION WORK.
DamageReflection
Enables reflection of damage to shooter. Default = True
TransferScaling
Defines the amount of damage that is reflected back to instigator. 1.0 means
that 100% of damage is going back to instigator and 0% to victim. 0.7 means that
70% of damage is going back to instigator and 30% is comitted to victim. With
the "friendly fire" configuration under UnrealTournament the amount of damage is
defined. Therefore with friendly fire set to zero the damage reflection will not
work.
rskPenalty
When a player or bot shot onto a protected player the resPenalty will be
subtracted of instigators health. Setting the value to 199 will cause an
imidiate suicide of the lamer. Default = 50.
selflimit
Selflimit defines the number of violations a player can commit, before the
player gets kicked off the server or put into Gandhi-mode.
Messages
I think, this is self explaining. :-)
tkMessage=Team-Killing is not allowed!
rskMessage=Spawn-Killing is not allowed!
kickMessage=was kicked because of violation of server rules.
ProtectorMsg1=Protection expired!
ProtectorMsg2=Now you can shoot or be shot.
KickByNickMsg=is on the lamer-list and was kicked by LamerBuster.
EnableRespawnProt
Enables spawn protection. Default = true
UseTranslucency
Use transparency with respawn protection, both bots and players. Default = True
ScaleGlowBy
Default = 1.000000
ProtectTime
Defines amount of time in seconds in which player and bots are protected.
ProtectHumans, ProtectBots
It think it's self explaining ;-)
DynamicProt
When player picks up something like weapons or shields protection will be
disabled.
PlayAnimation
When a player dies because of respawn or team killing, the boom! animation can
be played. Check it out if you like it. Default = True.
KickPlayer
Enable kicking player, when violating server rules. Set this variable to False,
when playing offline! UT will crash. Default = True (for servers)
GandhiMode
The Gandhi-mode is a special kind of punishment for lamers, who have
committed more violations, than is allowed on the server, just like
the KickPlayer option with a slight difference: the lamer loses all
his weapons. Yes, right! Everytime the lamer picks up a new weapon,
LamerBuster will remove the weapon, so that the lamer has to survive
somehow until the end of the match. When a new match starts,
everything is reset again.
EnableKickByNick
Defines if LamerBuster will kick a player off the server if the players nick
is on the bad nick name list. Default = True.
TempBan
Enable temporary ban of player. Effect will be, that a player, once kicked from
the server, cannot reconnect to the server for the rest of the match. When a new
match (map) starts player can reconnect to the server again. Default = True
WaitDelay
Defines time after player enters the server after which the players nick is
checked against bad nick name list. Default = 15
BadNick[]
Here you can add your lamers ;-) Max. amount in this version is 64. Bahhh!
Console commands:
Open the console and login as a
server administrator, when playing online. When playing offline, no
login attempt has to be done.
Next, type into the console (without
the quotation marks):
- "mutate lamerbuster" or "mutate
lb"
What you see is a list of
available commands to modify the mutator functions. To see,
which configuration is actually set on the server, type:
- "mutate lamerbuster
list" or "mutate lb list"
To change a
configuration parameter value, e.g. activate or deactivate
the DamageReflection, type:
- "mutate
lamerbuster damagereflection on" or "mutate lb
damagereflection off"
Some other examples:
- mutate lb
addnick Playernick: adds the nickname "Playernick"
to the list of banned player nicknames.
- mutate lb
gandhimode on: activates the Gandhi-mode
