Author: [email protected]=-
website: http://membres.lycos.fr/unrealmuscat/

Instruction:

You need at least the satoreMonsterPackv103 package to be able to lock on new monsters. (the most recent version today is satoreMonsterPackv110)
)
Here is the author web site: http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA026071/Downloads.html

Use the last UT2004 patch to be sure all works correctly.

You can use MapMixer 2.x to create and use your maplist (please don't rename maps to Ons maps).
Here is the author web site: http://mapmixer.unrealtournament2004.com.au/
Or in "Web Admin" you can use this method: http://membres.lycos.fr/unrealmuscat/mapvote.htm 

Don't forget you need to add the Raptor Invasion and Avril Invasion mutators to be able to lock on monsters,
It's include in the package but not in the gametype.

The gametype configuration is in the mutator configuration so "gametype" user need to edit the mutator config to change the health, etc.

Installation
-------------
Remove the old .u version.

Copy all files in your ut2004\system directory

fr: Enlever le .u de la version antérieure. Copiez tous les fichiers dans le repertoire ut2004\system

Configure the Raptor and Avril Invasion mutators by pressing the configure mutators button and choose the monsters you want to be targeted.
By default it's only the Warlord.

Configure the Vehicle Invasion mutator or Vehicle Invasion gametype by pressing the configure mutators button also.
Gametype user note: You don't need to add the Vehicle Invasion mutator in the mutator list to play the Vehicle Invasion gametype
                    but you need to add the mutator to configure it. Remove it from the list after.

Colored stuff
-------------
If you don't like the colors added in the menu simply remove or edit the VehicleInvasion-109.ucl
if you want the original colors again you need to install the VehicleInvasion-109.ucl include in the zip or umod package.


server admin:
-------------

You need to add this line in your UT2004.ini [Engine.GameEngine] section

ServerPackages=VehicleInvasion-111

Because some map use different gametype content other than the standard gametypes,
you need to add the name of the .u package of each custom gametype the map is dependant also.
For example JB maps need the Jailbreak .u packages, FHI maps need all FHI .u packages, etc.
example:   ServerPackages=Jailbreak  for the Jailbreak.u


Mutator Admin users (or gametype users with no ut4mod version).
-------------------
if you just want to test the mutator and don't want to lose your time with the config
try to start with this config (for 3 players with vehicles).
Adding skills to the monsters is important also if you don't want to search the monsters
in the map.

you can change these values in the Invasion gamerules also.

if you want to be able to use multiple map types in WebAdmin for mapvote.
you need to create one maplist for each map type and add each maplist in the Game Configuration maplist menu in the ServerRules Host tab.

If you don't want to change maplists in webAdmin I suggest to use MapMixer 2.x
