Is it possible to modify the .unr map files so that you can change the objective notifications to whatever you want? So instead of seeing "Compressor Destroyed!" you could change it to whatever your def tacs are, like "Camp the Tunnels" or something? I can't see a way to modify .unr files though, but I think it would be great for tactics.

not possible i think.. you could change all the maps tho but mismatches ftw

and everyone would be able to see them then
 
No, I mean modify your own so that the text entries are different. UT doesn't compare your .unr files to those on the server, does it? It just uses your own and applies the server files I guess, though I'm not sure. Surely server wouldn't ban such modifications.

And you'd be the only one to see them if the changes were client side.

And TS doesn't work if, for example, you're in ADC :P
 
Yes. The server does not check to see if the maps I have and the maps the server has are the same. Therefore, if I wanted to add every map and put 20 shield belts and a redeemer everywhere I spawn I could and I could bring it into a match and play with my own map.

xcept you can't map :rofl:

but indeed he's right ofcourse those are compaired remember what psy did with the league a few years ago... he modified the maps thus cousing mismatches
 
well you can't do it under the objective names but if I remember right you can use echo command to splash something in the chatbox that only you can see, so with a text file for each map you could bind your tactics for each objective to a different key.

e.g.

ballistic.txt

set input 1 echo START: Take armour and snipe from the left.
set input 2 echo GEN: Get rockets and spam main gate
set input 3 echo WARLOADER: Switch with rockets
set input 4 echo FINAL: On Globe with shock.

Sure, you have to "exec ballistic.txt" at the start of the map and then press 1, 2, 3 or 4 after each objective but it's surprisingly useful if ur memory is shit (tacs viewer not good for people with crap memory) or you don't want to look at a piece of paper all the time.

Maybe there is a clever way to execute a text file depending on the map name, but you would probably get kicked by leagueAS. :)
 
EDIT:

@ engener or whatever: No need to be sarcastic. I just mean that we'd all be downloading every map from the server every time we connect. UT checks you have the map, then overlays the server's mutators on it.

Nar, when you connect to a server, it dumps to your client a list of files it is using to play the current game; if your files' GUID match up, then it won't send you, if you don't have the files, it will send them to you, if you have a GUID mismatch, it won't let you join.

Files are then CRC confirmed once joined to prohibit those naughty people who try to hack their client files before the usual anticheat measures are applied.

@ pyke: Yeah, I recall getting bootted out of Siege a lot during 24 std games.

@ Joko: Nice one, I'll give it a try. Though my memory is shite enough to forget to even load tacs viewer.

@ Weirdo and HC: Bugger. Well it was just a thought, though I can see how League AS would prohibit such things. I thought maybe they were like botpack.int that you can customise.
