This mutator will 'handicap'
players according to numbers at the beginning of their player
name.
It's made to 'balance' games where there is a big
difference in skills/age.
I have different age kids & friends and we all play over my
home LAN. This mutator helps to keep things
"FairSquare" ;)
It uses a 4 number system:
1st number = speed level
2nd number = damage level
3rd number = health level
4th number = weapon level
You put these numbers in front of your player name, like this:
"1234-MyPlayerName".
The number in each position determines the help you receive in
that category.
|
Position 1 & 2: SPEED & DAMAGE |
Position 3: HEALTH |
Position 4: STARTING WEAPON |
1 | 1.1 x normal | 110 | ShockRifle |
2 | 1.2 x normal | 120 | BioRifle |
3 | 1.3 x normal | 130 | PulseGun |
4 | 1.4 x normal | 140 | SniperRifle |
5 | 1.5 x normal | 150 | Ripper |
6 | 1.6 x normal | 160 | Minigun |
7 | 1.7 x normal | 170 | Flak Cannon |
8 | 1.8 x normal | 180 | RocketLauncher |
9 | 1.9 x normal | 190 | Redeemer |
If any of these first 4 positions of the player name start with
anything besides 1 - 9,
the player starts with the default in that category.
Example:
If Player name is "3456-Homeboy", when you
respawn -
Speed will be level 3; 1.3
times normal
Damage will be level 4; 1.4 times normal
Health will be level 5; 150
Weapon will be level 6; You will be given a
MiniGun
