Downloads / Installation:
- Client Install:
To play on a LeagueAS136 server you do not need to do any installation, however to play LeagueAS136 offline or to access Menus and some extra features in 136, do the following:
In addition, you can configure the Assault Browser included in LeagueAS, which will speed up your browser (Assault servers list loads a lot faster) and create a new "Assault - Populated" tab. To do it, open your UnrealTournament.ini file in a text editor and locate the [UBrowserAS] section. Modify this section so that is looks exactly as follows:
[UBrowserAS]
ListFactories[0]=LeagueAS-CP.AS_Browser,GameType=Assault
ListFactories[1]=LeagueAS-CP.AS_Browser,GameType=LeagueAssault
NOTE: If you copy & paste from your browser ensure there are no spaces at the end of the lines.
Finally, to play LeagueAS136 offline (or to launch your own private lan servers), follow this client installation + extract the ServerPackage (read below) into your UT's system folder.
- Server Install:
Open your server's UnrealTournament.ini file in a text editor and locate the [Engine.GameEngine] section.
At the ServerActors list, replace all the lines that reads "ServerQuery" or "ServerUplink" so that they look like the lines in yellow:
[Engine.GameEngine]
CacheSizeMegs=8
UseSound=False
ServerActors=IpDrv.UdpBeacon
ServerActors=LeagueAS136-SP.ServerQuery
ServerActors=LeagueAS136-SP.ServerUplink unreal.epicgames.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=LeagueAS136-SP.ServerUplink master0.gamespy.com MasterServerPort=27900
ServerActors=UWeb.WebServer
...
NOTE: If you copy & paste from your browser ensure there are no spaces at the end of the lines.
Add the following line to the ServerPackages list (it probably exists already if your server was running LeagueAS135 before, do NOT add it twice):
ServerPackages=LeagueAS-CP
Modify the batch file or script (or FireDaemon settings) you use to launch the server so that the command line is:
ucc server AS-Mazon.unr?game=LeagueAS136Public.LeagueAssault?Mutator=
Finally, fire up your server
FAQ / Common Problems:
- About Servers
Q: Can I have LeagueAS135 installed on the same server?
A: Yes you can, since the ServerPackage has a different name. However you should be careful not to add 136 mutators to 135 games, nor viceversa. To prevent this happening, 136 mutators are marked with (136) tag on their name, at the mutator's list.
To include a mutator via servertravel command, just call to the proper SP. i.e: LeagueAS136-SP.MapVote
Q: The server kicks everyone out on join. Webadmin console says:
Rogue Actor Detected (Unknown Cheat) CheckActor. Class: LeagueAS135.xxxxxxxxxxxxx
A: You are using a 135 mutator in a 136 game
Q: Can I increase tickrate on the server now?
A: NO.
During the numerous tests made we managed to adjust mini power at higher tickrates but it won't be exactly like the original.
Stick to a REAL* tickrate of 20.
*REAL = Packets/sec value in F6 info, everyone can see.
- About League:
Q: Will League Servers run this version for League Matches?
A: YES. Already installed on all the servers.
Q: Is it required to have LeagueAS136 installed in clan servers to play League Matches from now on?
A: Not required yet, but strongly recommended.
Q: Why does the name read "LeagueAS136Public" and not just "LeagueAS136"? Is this another beta?
A: NO, this is the final version. However we saved the full name just in the case a quick revision is needed in short term.
Either if that happens or not, the full-name one will be released by the end of this month I reckon, by the time it's made required for clan servers too (don't worry we give time enough to install/configure and ensure the 'change' is fast and easy, also for clients).
- About Clients/Game:
Q: Why is frigate under-pier spawn back? Books are still there / no pads at Astheno vents...
A: Map fixes / changes are done in the SP. You are probably running an offline game without 136-SP installed.
Q: The options I change on menus don't make any effect in game / I have duplicated Menus or empty items at my Mods menu.
A: You are probably using menus from an old beta version.
Remove ALL the files like LeagueAS136XXX.u and specially the .int files and follow client installation ^^
Also remember that some options will require to reconnect to the server to make effect.
i.e: changing crosshair drawscale, or some of the built-in tweaks.
Q: I spent many time configuring icons/fonts/colors in older betas, don't want to do it all again.
A: Open your user.ini file and rename all the sections like this:
[LeagueAS136betaX.xxxxxxxxxx] => change to => [LeagueAS136Public.xxxxxxxxxx]
[LeagueAS136TestX.xxxxxxxxxx]
Q: Which tweaks are allowed/forbidden to use?
A: ... too long to list here, dig up some discussion threads on this forum, or just try yourself: Load your tweaks and join a 136 server. You won't be kicked for it, blocked tweaks just won't work.
Q: It hangs on connecting &/or when I join I have no hud - no netspeed &/or I'm kicked straight away if I managed to connect.
A: Sounds like you are using modified core files, this includes skins (commandoskins, soldierskins etc), botpack, engine, core, uwindow, umenu...
Restore original versions of these files.
If you don't know which one is causing the problem (and for any other query / bug report / request / problem),

- SetRedScore/SetBlueScore admin commands will make effect immediatelly & adjust "MapsLeft" value (it doesn't count tied maps tho).
- Fixed: LightCone at RocketCommand looking solid.
- Fixed: Tournament flags taking wrong colours.
- Fixed: Spectators HUD showing weapon icons bar wrongly (shouldn't show any hud at all while using free-cam).
- Fixed: Client crash while/after browsing menus (Combo Preview had to go
). - Fixed: Possible 'dodge lag' on some clients/settings.
- Fixed: Prevent enabling icons anywhere from menus & in game if they don't have the required texture file. Added a download system for it from menus.
- Added: Simple kill messages like %o : %w : %k eligible from menus.
- Added: Custom kill messages configurable from menus, or directly taken from your loaded tweaks (next point -> ).
- Added: Auto-detect tweaks system. The first time you play on an 136 server it will detect your installed tweaks and enable the built-in ones accordingly. This way you don't need menus to use tweaks, also for non-uta players joining 136 servers on public mode.
- Added: Removing ShockBeam and Rockets rotation tweak.
- Added: A new Shock Combo type, by Exodus.
- Tweaked: Auto-Pause feature to prevent abuse, although Auto-pause will NOT be used in matches.
- Tweaked: Minigun made as close to the original as it can be, identical. Looking forward for feedback on this point.
- Support for Linux version.
- Cleaned all the serverside log stuff used for debugging -> we can release the SP this time.
