AntiCamper

by Patrick Freeman - a.k.a. "Mental"



This mutator will cause any player standing in one area for too long (camping) to lose health.

There are 3 settings: "CampRadius", "CampTime", and "CampDamage".
All these settings can be configured in the AntiCamper Configuration Window.
which comes up when you click the "Mods" menu and choose "AntiCamper".

The settings are saved to the file "mentals_mutators.ini" in your UT system folder.
The are under the "AntiCamper" section.
Here's how they work:

CampRadius
how large of a radius around a player to consider them a camper.
the default is 60

CampTime
the number of seconds that a player can be in the CampRadius before they are considered a camper.
the default is 6.

CampDamage
how much health to take off a player when CampTime is reached.
the default is 20.


This mutator was not intended as a slam on "snipers",
as I myself like sniping and it's a skill to hit a 'good' player who is moving-jumping-dodging or otherwise acting like a crazed maniac.
No, the intent was to discourage "hiding" in games like "Last Man Standing" or "Fox & Hounds"
where a player can win by simply finding a hiding spot and just sitting there.
