Minions of Destruction(MoD) is a gametype modification for
Unreal Tournament version 413 and 420. MoD is a deathmatch game extension that brings
both a one against many menality, but some of the cool team features all under
one roof.
In the game everyone fights to becoming the Minion of
Destruction. The game begins out normally until
a player attains a certain number of frags. The player is then infused with a
primal rage which transforms the player into a Minion of
Destruction. The MINION! is generally stronger,
faster and more deadly than a normal player and can rain havok throughout the
game if not stopped. On the flipside, the Minion loses
health at a steady rate and only by continuing its killing spree can it regain the
lost health.
Stopping the Minion of Destruction is no easy task
and may require teamwork to bring it down. Bringing down the Minion of
Destruction is always a must with any of the scoring systems as in most
cases, the player who remains the MINION! the longest typically
scores the most point and wins the game!
The result of the Minions of Destruction game is a
fast, and furious deathmatch of one aginst everyone else and its own solo
soundtrack from
Select from Scoring,
HUD,
Scoreboard and
MINION! Weapons sections for more details
about the various features of Minion of Destruction.

Scoring |
|
|
Minions of Destruction includes four different
scoring systems in which a server can be setup to play with. [Perhaps a future
feature will be randomization of scoring system in each new game.]
Standard Scoring
Standard scoring is very similiar to the Standard DeathMatch
scoring. A player is credited with a score each time it frags another
player. If a player kills a MINION!, then the
player receives a bonus. If, however, a MINION!
suicides, the MINION! receives a penalty to its score
that is equal to the bonus.
MINION! Only Scoring
Scoring MINION!
Only scoring is very similiar to the Standard
scoring except that only the MINION! scores points for killing
other players. No bonus is given to players who kill the
MINION!. The MINION!,
if it suicides, still receives a penalty to its score that is equal to the
bonus as in Standard scoring.
Last MINION! Standing Scoring
You guessed it, this is the Minions of Destruction version
of the Last Man Standing game. In Last MINION!
Standing, you try and become the last player alive in the game. Just as in
Last Man Standing you lose points for each death, whether it be from suicides
or being killed by another player. However, if you are the MINION!,
there is a chance, for each player you kill, that you will be able to regain a lost
life! So if you are the MINION!, its KILL
and KILL as often as possible!

HUD |
|
|
Minions of Destruction includes two different
HUDs for your viewing pleasure. The first HUD is almost identically similiar
to the normal DeathMatch HUD you are used to. The second HUD is a special
HUD that will be used any time any player, not bots of course, becomes the
MINION!
Below is a picture of the normal HUD showing the the position and an enlarged
view of the additional HUD elements.
A) Number of kills that you have currently that counts towards your
transformation as the MINION!
B) The Minions of Destruction scoring system
for this game/server.
C) A message that lets you know who is the MINION!

C) Ammout of "ammo" that you have available for all your MINION!
based weaponry!
D) Total time that you have been the MINION! during the game. The
more the better!
E) Number of kills that you have collected while transformed into the
MINION!
F) A toggleable MINION! status bars that give
you a rough idea of what your MINION! induced attributes
are.

Scoreboard |
|
|
Minions of Destruction has three different
scoreboard modes. The Standard and MINION! Only scoring
systems use the standard Minions of Destruction
where as Last MINION! Standing has
its own scoreboard mode.
All scoreboards are colored as denote each player's status. The coloring
scheme is as follows:
Other Players or Bots:
MINION!: Red
Normal: Blue
You:
Minion: Light Red
Normal: Gold
In this example of a standard Minions of Destruction
scoreboard mode, you can see that the your name is Hollywood and that the bot or
other player named Tamerlane is currently the MINION!
In addition to the coloring system, there are three standard Minions of Destruction
stats that are tracked on the scoreboard, in all three different scoreboard modes and are:
MINION! Transforms: Number of times the player/bot transformed into the MINION!
MINION! Frags: Number of frags, kills minus suicides, that the player/bot has as the MINION!
Killed MINION!: Number of times that the MINION! was killed by another player/bot, but not by suicide
Deaths: Number of times the player/bot died
Standard scoreboard mode specific stats:
Frags: Number of frags, kills minus suicides, that the player/bot has. If playing with the
MINION! Only scoring system selected, then this should be the same
as the MINION! Frags state!
Last MINION! Standing scoreboard mode specific stats:
Lives Left!: Number of lives left before you are out of the game!

MINION! Weapons |
|
|
Minions of Destruction
offers up to five different weapons once a player
transforms into the MINION!
When a player becomes the MINION!, its
anger and want for destruction literally transform some of the
standard Unreal Tournament weapons into more potent varients;
most weapon effects will not harm the MINION!,
but several of the weapons may have severe consequences to the
unwary.
See the Configuration section for
information on how to configure the availability of these
special weapons.
Death Spitter
The Death Spitter is a slight transformation of the
double enforcers in Unreal Tournament. Be warned that the
Death Spitter spitters can cause you explosive
damage when they impact on target or walls! Not to mention,
the explosiveness of the Death Spitters can decapitate
your opponents.
Assault Cannon With the focused rage of the
MINION! the Mini-gun suddenly becomes an even more
deadly weapon than normal with the ability of the Assault Cannon to
decapitate your opponents.
Shuriken Cannon
The Shuriken Cannon resembles the Ripper but is
quite explosive as it bounces off the walls in primary
fire mode.
Blood Thunder Rifle
With the focused rage of the MINION! the
super shock rifle suddenly becomes increasingly deadly. With a powerful
bundle of laser energy shot as a corcescanting bolt, the MINION!
can implode the heads of enemies. Alternately, a mini-gun like blast of laser bolts can
issue from the weapon, laying down electrocuting amounts of carnage!
Cyclone
Cyclone can almost say it all, this is the ultimate
transformation of a weapon by the MINION!'s
rage. The Cyclone differs from the Rocket Launcher in
both primary and alternate fire modes. Primary fire only fires
a single rocket, but alternate will fire multiple rockets however
watch out as it could come back to haunt you. However, the
explosiveness of the Cyclone offsets any damage it
might inflict on the owner!
Metal Fatigue Mortar
The Metal Fatigue Mortarr allows for close in fighting, dishing
out tons of destruction at close range. Drop that ball of shrapnel down
the hole and watch the enemies scream bloody murder.
