Deus Ex Alpha

I know i'm kinda inaccurate by posting not in a "official release topic", but soon when we get a website running we'll structure and tidy away all the information about releases.

This mutator is called MM Switcher. It adds a admin console command that switches a specific player to another team. While switching it doesn't kill player, it doesn't erase his score, keeps inventory, but changes the skin and respawns on the suitable spawn point. The command, of course, is accessible only for admins.
By the way, mutator is fully serverside so players will not have download it.

The idea of this mutator came to me when i saw how easily admin on Counter Strike: Source server was switching players to balance teams.

Installation is simple as usually:
1. Place contents of .zip to DeusEx/System
2. Open DeusEx.ini file
3. Find the block called [DeusEx.DeusExGameEngine] and place the following line somewhere in that block

Code: Select all

ServerActors=MMSwitcher100.SwitchMutator

How to use the mutator. You have to log in as administrator. Then you may type "playerlist" command to get an ID number of a player you need to switch. ID's also can be seen after names of players when they talk on DXMTL servers, for example:

Klop's ID is 1.

After you got the ID, type the following command

Code: Select all

mutate switch ID

so if we wanted to switch klop, we would type:

Code: Select all

mutate switch 1

If it succeeds it will inform the player, that he got switched and you, that you switched the player.

The mutator was protected by Nobody's mod protection tool.

In the end, I would like to say thanks to my friends Nobody and Alex for good unreal scripting support

I'm glad to hear any comments/suggestions

Great mutator dae, it's a good idea, i dunno why no one has attempted this before.

mutate switch 1



I still stay oon my team, even after I logged on as admin

And you're this {M}Atlantis?

Yes, KillerZ was my old ID, if you look arounf on another DX forum, you will find me, and that im working on more DXSG maps with help from NOBODY of course

back while i was in RIA

I hope you realise that you may use mutate switch ID command only when you're logged in?

Hmm, That mod is on DXAG of [A]Nobodys server (Not DXSG though) And it works fine then. Type mutate switch *ID* And it changes them at gives them a message saying you were switched. You can switch yourself as well.. Maybe you haven't set the mod up right??

If you read my post you know that I AM logged in when I do this, and Yes, I followed the instructions, Under ServerActors too, I havent tried ServerPackages though... But it does not say to

Type mutate switcher.version and see if it shows anything.

Nothing, but it does not give "Unrecognized Command"

It means it's not installed. Please, post the section under

Code: Select all

[DeusEx.DeusExGameEngine]

The command is recognised because Deus Ex knows "mutate" command. It doesn't care about parameters. After typing this command you should have got a message with the version of the mod.

Could you please attach server.log.

server.log deleted by Dae

Ah, well, just realized! It isn't compatible with SG mod, sorry

Hmm.. I tried it on a NORMAL server even STILL DOES NOT WORK

What was the gametype?

MTL's I forget wich one.. H/O

Its one from DXMTL

Try again hosting with MTL gametype and post the server.log.
Please attach it as a file, instead of pasting it here.

I always wondered why the Mod was only on AG not SG ^_^.

Hope you fix your problem!

That was possibly my personal failure..
However, Dae could have installed the mutator on SG too, since he had access to my server over FTP at the end as well.

Read the post above - it's not compatible with SG. In other words, it doesn't work with it.

That is a special telnet mod. Available on all gamemode's.

Yeah, thats different from the Mutate Switch (This Topic) Sorry if I choose you to be changed, but these teams would of been unfair if I did change you!

Since it's a mutator, I see no reason why it shouldn't be compatible, if it's coded properly.

I don't know either. MMAntiTK works very glitchy on SG as well.

If it switched based on Player
DXMTL152b.MTLNSF
would be SG_MOD152.SGNSF

for SG mod
