It should work with any of the standard game types. Deathmatch requires an additional mutator to support Bots.

Things You Can Add

Setup

Add the 'Content Mania - Setup' mutator. Host your level as normal without any other mutators loaded. Run round your chosen map and at the point you want to add a new object, press the fire button of your 'Setup Mania' weapon. This is the weapon you were given as the default, at the start.

The popup menu has various options. The first to set is the 'File As' name for the object you are adding. You can have as many separate files as you like, each is only used on the map you are currently using.

Now select the object you want to add and you can fine adjust the location. Some objects will need to be added slightly above the ground so adjust the Z value, if necessary. Remember to press the 'Add Object' button.

If you don't want to add anything, just press the 'Continue' button. If you want to see what the map will look like in play, press the 'Test Fit' button to drop objects in to the map. Remember to move out the way of any objects first.

You can remove or edit any objects you have already added, just select the item from the list and press the 'Remove' or the 'Edit' buttons.

Selecting the files to play with each map

Use the configuration menu of the 'Content Mania - Setup' mutator to select the files to use for each of your maps. Each map may have multiple files, but only the one selected here will be used.

Play

Add the 'Content Mania - Play' mutator before playing.

You can not have the 'Content Mania - Setup' mutator loaded at the same time as the 'Content Mania - Play' mutator.

If not, then, register the package on the server machines and make sure the latest files are copied to the Client machine.

If the files are not present on the Client they will automatically be copied when the Client joins the match.

The UT2004.ini file is in the '<UT2004>/system' folder. Edit it using Notepad to add the package files to the ServerPackages in the [Engine.GameEngine] section.

CacheSizeMegs=32
UseSound=True

ServerPackages=SkaarjPack
ServerPackages=SkaarjPack_rc
