Hey Guys,

We're currently in the process of adding Steam Stats and Achievements to RO. Unfortunately, we can only allow certain mutators to run along side this new system. So, we want to know which mutators you'd like us to support.

Please reply with the specifics of each mutator you'd like us to take a look at supporting in the following format:

Name
Description(What does it do? What's the actual benefit of running it?)
Link to the Page(preferably a link to the download page)
Version(so we know what to download...if there's only one version, skip this)


Thanks Guys!

Will servers be able to turn off archievements in case someone wants to try out a new mutator? Or wants to have a fun night?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not really a mutator but since Carpathian crosses is like an add on instead of mod something there might get broken as well. CC adds new weapons vehicles and maps to default ro.

http://www.carpathiancrosses.com/

---------------------------------------------------------------
The following mutators are used by www.roladder.net and www.roleague.com

Teamready mutator 2.1 by crube waits to start a round till all teams type ready, the default function readies a player up when they select a weapon which aint too handy.

32 player reinforcement mutator 1.0 by walker , in competetitional matches you want all servers to play the same so if 1 team got a 24 player server and the other got a 32 player server you want it to always play the same. Thats why its been decided to keep 32 players as a basis for reinforcements. Since 32 player servers were the most common.

ROBlackout mutator 1.0 by Tzefania with code excerpts from crube. Blacks out the screen when dead so during matches you cannot see where enemies are hiding. Used because for quite some people the default fade to black never turns black and remains transparant. The later version of ROHudpackage got additional options that for clanplay were not needed.

Kick 16 bit player mutator version 1.0 by tripwire, to kick players that use 16 bit because under certain circumstances you can get a wallhack in ro by using 16 bit.

These mutators can be downloaded in this package here:

http://roladder.net/files/ROLadder_Mutators_01.zip


-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other mutators that i actually see people use.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


RO:CA hud package, changes the capzone bar so you wont see howmany enemies are in the capzone anymore. This forces teams to communicate where the enemies are rather than looking at a bar to see howmany are in the capzone. Which rewards the team that got the best teamwork:
http://www.redorchestragame.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25982

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ServerAdsSE

Allows you to make clan advertisements on your server by a rotating message. (Server rules etc)
http://www.redorchestragame.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=605&d=1150913739

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ro Hud mutator

The same as the blackout mutator but allows you to modify the scoreboard as well to allow more names to show and to say hide reinforcements and weapontypes for the opponent team. Used mostly for realism matches.

http://www.redorchestragame.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=603&d=1150911628

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Server colorizer

Makes it able to give your servername a funky color (plz ban this)

http://postdownload.filefront.com/1...3b07b1b49a6da47dc6bfc51d4003467502e0f0c1e720e

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elmuerte's serverext

Allows people to setup reserve slots for members, and keep chatlogs and playerlogs.
Although since its a ut2004 mutator half the options dont work.

http://ut2004.elmuerte.com/files/ServerExt-v110.zip

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Map value motifier

Often used by realism teams to give a player only 1 life, or to change the arty to only 1 strike.

http://www.redorchestragame.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=599&d=1150813996

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Team swap mutator by crube

Often used by realism teams to change what side is attacking on a map.

http://www.redorchestragame.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=371&d=1145503607

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Machinegun mod by evilhobo

Changes characteristics of the machinegun (ammo amount, overheating accuracy different tracers). Often used in quite some popular maps like pariserplatz and kriegstadt.

http://www.redorchestragame.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26118

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

ArmoredBeasts 2.08

A mutator that modifies the behavior of tanks to be more realistic.
Often used by Axis realism clans and tanking servers.
Can be downloaded from here:
http://www.red.orchestra.pl/plug.php?e=maps&mtype=fch&fl=A&page=1&part=mutator

------------------------------------------------------------------------

RypeL cam

Not a serverside mutator but changes the game none the less so needs to be compatible.

RypeL allows people to watch back demos enabeling things such as wallhacks and wireframe so a suspected cheater can be researched further. As well as an important tool for movie making of demo recordings.

http://www.redorchestragame.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21907

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Santahat mutator

During xmas its an old tradition for servers to let players have santahats instead of helmets.

http://www.redorchestragame.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15844

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Grenade mutator by Case.

Allows people to limit or change the amount of grenades per class on a map basis. To reduce or increase grenade spam. Or change the type of grenade per class (say smoke or no smoke). Used by servers with a high player amount but with small maps.

http://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/%7Etcr/ROGrenadeMutv1.zip

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Bolt only mutator by Jack Sparrow

Changes all classes to only have a bolt action rifle with no grenades, used for special fun nights.

http://rapidshare.com/files/199788613/Bolts_Only_Mutator.zip.html

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xban mutator by aceto

Allows an admin to add a reason for banning / kicking a player that will be displayed the moment the user is kicked. and will be logged for when you later check back on why someone was banned.

http://www.boarderlines.de/xban.zip

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

DemoRecord mutator.

Will automatically record demos of the game and keeps logs of players and server settings per demo. Often used for private match only servers.

http://www.proasm.com/files/ut/DemoRecord42.zip

Thanks for all the info Zets. Just to let you know and to let others that post on here, we are not allowing mutators that effect the gameplay beyond some reasonable level, or ones that make it easier to achieve certain stats.

For example, we are not allowing Stats and Achievements to run alongside the following mutators from Zets list:
Map value modifier - Can speed up spawn times, not allowed
ArmoredBeasts 2.08 - Not decided yet, but it seems to make it easier to get a tank kill, which we don't want to allow
Machinegun mod - Not sure yet, but if it increases ammo count, then it wont be allowed
Santahat mutator - Makes people stand out, too big of a change
Grenade mutator - Allowing for more grenades would drastically alter gameplay
Bolt only mutator - Loses the class dynamic of RO

The rest of the mods listed, however, sound as though they will be allowed to run along side Stats and Achievements. No guarantees on them yet, as we want to load them up and see what they do before fully committing.

Keep 'em coming if you've got something to add.

BTW: This doesn't mean that servers will not be allowed to run the mods above, it simply means that Stats and Achievements will be disabled on those servers.

EvilHobo Machine Gun Mod and Armored Beasts are some of the best mutators/mods ever made for RO. Indeed, not supporting a mod that greatly improved upon the stock armor system and another that, among other things, got rid of those Star Wars tracers would be a grave mistake. Hell, if anything AB and EHMG should have been included in patches for RO IMHO.

The purpose of this thread isn't to debate what mutators poeple think make the game better/more realistic/less realistic or whatever. The whole purpose of mutators is to allow poeple to tweak the gameplay to thier hearts content. For our stats and acheivements system, however, we'll only be allowing mutators that don't make drastic changes to core RO gameplay, as that is what we'll be testing/developing the achievements against. Please stay on the topic of "what mutators do servers run, and what do they do", otherwise I'll just start deleting posts.

Click to expand...

Sorry if It look it we "debating" , we just stated that it would be sad to see the 2 good mutator be unsupported , this is a bad thing for us ,as supporters of the game (we do have a server and we do have this 2 mutators on)
If you think of it a bit if the 2 mutators are unsupported servers will stop using them , because the general population tends to only care stats, not team works.
And just a advice (don't take this the wrong way) but people from tripwire need to listen to the community more , the community is already small and it's only getting smaller by each day.

Best Regards
Eugen Reinhard

Actually if we listened to the community more, then we wouldn't have achievements at all, since many vocal members of the community believe achievements will "ruin the game" ;) And sorry, but in regards to AB we likely can't support that with our achievements. Without getting into any debate, we've already publicly said before that we don't really agree with many of the changes made to the armor system in AB, and wouldn't integrate it with the core game. Regardless of that, many of the achievements will be based around doing certain things with a tank. In stock RO, that thing they have to do will take a certain amount of skill, in AB it will take a different amount of skill (either more or less). That makes that achievement either much easier, or much harder to get. Thus we can't support any mutator that makes that significant of a change to RO's core gameplay.

They are files for skins of soldiers they come with custom maps.

http://www.red.orchestra.pl/plug.php?e=maps

Download Kolno (the version before the latest the latest doesnt have custom skins anymore).
Download Kriegstad & Parizerplatz (both latest version) and add those system files only not the mg mod that you didnt feel like then.

These maps should bring you a far end. i believe that redorchestra.pl allows you to download those files indivdually as well. At the bottom at system files.

That should cover most skins things
