Squidy mod for Unreal Tournament

Squidy is a weapon which was first developed to enter a coding contest several years ago.
The challenge was simple: each contestant was to choose a distinct monster from the original Unreal, and develop a single weapon by using that monster as its model and skin, without importing any custom assets, only code itself was allowed.

The idea in the end was not only to have a contest (for fun), but to also have a new community weapon pack as a result.
Unfortunately however, the contest never ended and was abandoned and forgotten about, and some participants never finished their weapons.

This weapon was first developed and finished for that contest back in 2013, but it was now repackaged in order to contain its own mutators and configuration, so it can be freely tweaked and played with as any other standalone weapon mod.

Installation

All you need to do is to extract all the contents from the System folder within the download zip to the System folder of your Unreal Tournament install, and done! :)

Mutators

This package comes with 2 mutators in order to play with this weapon:

• Squidy: this mutator replaces the Flak Cannon (configurable) by the Squidy.
• Squidy Arena: this mutator replaces every weapon by the Squidy (arena).

Configuration

This package comes with a configuration file in order to tweak a few properties, such as minimum and maximum damage, seconds to explode, and others, in the form of a *.ini file (Squidy.ini).

The Squidy.Squidy section contains all properties to configure the Squidy weapon itself:

• MinDamage: Minimum explosion damage (before inflation).
• MaxDamage: Maximum explosion damage (after inflation).
• AltDamage: Secondary fire (alternate) melee damage.
• ExplosionMomentum: Explosion strength (str players farther).
• AltRange: Secondary fire (alternate) melee range.
• SecondsToExplode: Number of seconds to take to inflate until the explosion.
• DamageRadius: Explosion damage radius.

The Squidy.SquidyMutator section contains a single property to configure the Squidy mutator:

• WeaponToReplace: Weapon package and class to replace by the Squidy.

Have fun! :)
