===================================

--->Translocators Mutator<---

--->UT Translocator LE<---
Replace the UT2004 Translocator Beacon by the UT Translocator Beacon. Same velocity, fire Rate, sounds, etc.
version not configurable (Locked Edition) 

Announcer: Masked Mapper. Thx for your precious time.

--->INSTALLATION<---

 Important: You need UT2004 (the mutator is tested with the first free Dedicated server and v3236 client)

 unzip the appropriate .int and .u files in your UT2004\system directory
 unzip : All .UTX files in your UT2004\textures directory
 unzip : All .UkX files in your UT2004\Animations directory
 unzip : All .UAX files in your UT2004\Sounds directory

 Start UT2004, click on '-=TLMutator V.3.01=-' or '-=TLMutator LE v3.01=-' in the Mutators menu and on the Add button after.

configure the 'Translocators Mutator' by pressing on the "configure Mutator" Button and after press the Open button.
Configure your TL.
Don't forget to choose your modified translocator after in the Global config Tab.

When you are ready Click on the Play Button and Enjoy! :)

Note: The mutator add a translocator even if the gametype don't allows translocators.

You can start a "ShieldGun UTSnd" Arena with the UT2004 Arena mutator also. (like the UT Impact hammer arena)

>>SERVER<<
If you want to start a server don't forget to add this line in your UT2004.ini under the [Engine.GameEngine] section

ServerPackages=TLMutator-301

if you want to use custom Skins add the textures package name in the serverPackages lines also
for example:  (if the skins are in the MyTranslocatorSkins.utx package)

ServerPackages=MyTranslocatorSkins

note: The package name is case sensitive and the texture class name also. 


>> CUSTOM SKINS <<

To create custom TL skins you can edit the original TL skins in Unrealed and export the textures in Photoshop with a plug-in
available on the nvidia web site: .DDs files
or you can enter the name of a shader already in the UT2004 packages. ( the mutator support any Material )

the names of the skins are in the TLMutator Config menu and you have one skin config for each Translocator. 

http://developer.nvidia.com/object/ps_texture_compression_plugin.html

info on the Unrealed3 textures here: http://udn.epicgames.com

Your Skin name don't enter in the text box.... edit your Translocators.ini and add your skin name manually
THe Translocator numbers are 0=UT2003TL  1=UT TL  2=UTCLassic TL  3=UT2004 TL
here is an example for the UT2003 TL: 
TLSkinStr[0]=BarrensArchitecture-Scion.Environ.My_Environ_BLueFlag


Note: the Translocator properties can not be changed on client side. All the human players have the Translocator you have configured.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UT2004 crash:
If you have a problem with the mutator delete your Translocators.ini, restart the game, go to the TLmutator menu and click OK.
(a new Translocators.ini is created)
Make a backup of your .ini before in case you want to keep your last config. info. 
If the server crash again, so it's not the mutator, check if your server package lines are correct.

If a problem occurs: like incompatibility with other Mutator/Mod 
you can try to start the server with Translocator=False or simply set bAllowTransFix to true in the Translocators.ini
