The following is a Server Advertisement mutator for UT3. As an administrator you are provided the means of displaying up to 5 messages to the users of your server. Each message is able to be sent individually or with a global interval value. The minimum interval allowed is 10 seconds, although i would highly suggest you choose to keep your intervals above 45seconds for social graces.
Quick Note:
The string to include this mutator has changed. It is now ?mutator=ServerAdverts.ServerAdverts
Feature List:
- Server Configurable Client Notification
- Up to twenty-five (25) Messages
- Configurable Color, Location, Display time
Default Values:
fPosy = 0.25
iLifetime = 5.0
iFontSize = 1
cDrawColor = (B=255,G=200,R=200,A=255)
New Config Entry Format:
Advertisement=(sMessage="Welcome to a Gneu Sponsered Server!", fPosy = 0.50)
Advertisement=(sMessage="Come to www.gneu.org for more info!")
Advertisement=(sMessage="For Assistance contact Bob@gneu.org", cDrawColor=(B=255,G=0,R=0,A=255))
It is set up so you dont have to set all variables. They default to the values above, allowing you to focus on the other values. All four of the values can be changed, feel free to be as irritating or beautiful as you wish =)
