I have updated my medMunition mutator so that you can choose a few things:

• The color of projectiles from the Bio Rifle.
• The color of projectiles from the Blue Gun.
• The color of projectiles from the Flak Gun.
• The color of projectiles from the Shock Rifle.
• The sound of the right-click for the Shock Rifle.

(Caveat: your settings will be ignored for team games, these settings are just for DM).

There are two ways you can set your preferences.

METHOD 1: Set some keybinds:

In order for these keybinds to work in-game, you need to have picked up the weapon whose preference you are trying to change. If your keybind works, you will get a message telling you the new setting. Ok here are the keybinds, the keys I use here are just for example, you can use what you want. You do this in system/user.ini

• I=medMunitionToggleShockAltSound
• O=medMunitionToggleShockColor
• P=medMunitionToggleBlueGunColor
• U=medMunitionToggleBioColor

Then join the game, pick up one of the above 3 weapons, and press your keybind. If it works you'll get a message.


METHOD 2: Edit the config file directly:

• Connect to either the mountain or island server.
• Pick up either a Bio Rifle, Blue Gun, or Shock Rifle, it doesn't matter which one.
• Quit and close UT.
• Go to your UT's system folder, and open a file called medMunitionConfig.ini

The contents should initially look like this:

[medMunitionConfig007.medMunitionConfig]
useMySettings=false
useMedMunitionCross=false
bioColorMode=2
flakColorMode=3
pulseColorMode=2
shockColorMode=0
shockAltSoundMode=1
saved=True
readmeUseMySettings=choices: (true,false). True means your settings will be used. False means the server settings will be used. (Note, for team games, your settings will be ignored).
readmeColorMode=choices: (0,1,2,3). 0=red, 1=blue, 2=green, 3=rainbow (rotates evenly through all the colors)
readmeShockAltSoundMode=choices: (0,1). 0=off,1=on
readmeKeybindTip=Here are some keybinds you can set. Their name should be self-explanatory as to what they do. In order for these keybinds to work in-game, you need to have picked up the weapon. If it works you will get a message telling you the new setting.
readmeKeybind1=medMunitionToggleBioColor
readmeKeybind2=medMunitionToggleFlakColor
readmeKeybind3=medMunitionTogglePulseColor
readmeKeybind4=medMunitionTogglePulseCrosshairMatch
readmeKeybind5=medMunitionToggleShockColor
readmeKeybind6=medMunitionToggleShockAltSound
readmeSaved=internal use, do not change this value.
 

The ones that you can change are:

• useMySettings
• bioColorMode
• flakColorMode
• pulseColorMode
• shockColorMode
• shockAltSoundMode

The ones that start with 'readme' are just helpers to remind you what values you can set for each setting.

Ok, if you want your settings to be used, you need
useMySettings=true

Then you can play with setting values for the other three. I think the readme is pretty clear what values do what.

===================================

Ok that's it.
Any questions, let me know.

With my great love of editing weapons and monsters on certain maps, a ways back I found the MH4ever.u which has 4 different shockrifles in it.

Each 1 uses a different color and its projectiles are twice as strong as a normal shockrifle, though nowhere close to an instagib.

I gave those projectiles to monsters on this map:

I have done an update, so if you were using the color preferences, you have to open the medMunitionConfig.ini file, and move your previous settings into the [medMunitionConfig007.medMunitionConfig] section. If you need help, let me know.

It shouldn't be, the crosshair code is in medMunition and medMunitionConfig, which were changed for this update, while the alternate HUD is in medHUD, which I did not touch. But I'll look tonight at medHUD for a bit to see how that could be possible.

I had the same thing happening, it had something to do with the 469 settings. I had to turn off shader type in open GL
also found out that if I don't install 469A before 469B I'll get all kinds of problems

Hi Helen, don't know if you saw the previous post, I edited it many times cause I don't know the rules here about double posting, I know that ut99 forum discourages it. It may go unnoticed because of that. Summarizing, when a second enforcer is picked up, a rectangle appears for a second where the weapon should be, then it appears normal. The picture is attached above. So far this only occurs when playing in your server. And I started seeing this after the medMunition modification.

Wow, poor Helen  ,  try to keep hydrated as much as you can. That temperature is way higher than here.

Ok, so it is a patch thing...oh boy...
There could be a renderer setting for that...it is not the shader though, I disabled it, and it is still there.

Ok, so not a patch thing, nor renderer. And did you have the problem before the medMunition update? Are others having the problem also?

I remember you telling me you got it with double enforcer, and I had double enforcers a couple of times tonight on the server, so I was purposely changing to it and away from it, and I did not get that square...  weird.
