WHAT IS HUT ?
===============
+ A UT server is not easy to administrate in game, especially with all those console commands.
Hez-UT features a remote window that allows you to control everything ingame, and makes server administration very easy!
It also includes many features, like GameVote, user administration, anti-spam, anti-teamkill, anti-respawnkill,
enhanced chat and HUD... Well, you'd better read the long FEATURES section to know all of what HUT does.
note :
the development is CANCELLED. take this as final version
====================================
SERVER UPDATE (hut8XX to hut828) :
====================================
+ Upload *.uz files to your redirect/download server.
+ Upload hut826.u to your unrealtournament/system/ folder.
+ Open hut_server.ini and change [hut8XX.hr_config] to [hut828.hr_config]. (you won't have to reconfigure everything)
+ Change packages and serveractor in your unrealtournament.ini/server.ini :
[Engine.GameEngine]
...
ServerPackages=hut8cc
ServerPackages=hut828
ServerActors=hut828.hs_spawn
+ Type "debug gpf" in the Uweb console, "admin debug gpf" as serveradmin or reboot your server.
- AutoReconnect won't work with "exit".
- you can use the cmd input in HUT: just check admin and type "admin debug gpf".
==================
SERVER INSTALL :
==================
+ Uninstall any old version of ASC/HUT.
+ Upload *.uz files to your redirect/download server.
+ Upload the following files to your unrealtournament/system/ folder :
hut8cc.u
hut828.u
+ Add packages and serveractor in your unrealtournament.ini/server.ini :
[Engine.GameEngine]
...
ServerPackages=hut8cc
ServerPackages=hut828
ServerActors=hut828.hs_spawn
! "ServerActors=hut828.hs_spawn" MUST BE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SERVERACTOR LIST !
+ Run your server, log as server administrator, and type "mutate hz" in the console window or in the HUT window cmd input.
notes :
- "mutate hz" will give you all rights to configure and control your server.
- You'd better reconnect after you are logged as HUT Admin, as it will update all player and user lists.
- It is normal the GameVote TAB is empty, you must set a game first.
- KickIdler kicks admins, if it is enabled, and if you have to setup a lot of stuff on your server, do it as spectator.
(default is disabled)
============
FEATURES :
============
A lot of features... I will do my best to give the most of them here.
+ Remote window :
The window replaces command lines, and shows useful information.
This window is created at the begining of a match, and is updated ingame, so almost all settings are shown in realtime.
+ User Administration :
With HUT, you can create, modify, delete users on your UT server. Each user can get the following rights :
+ NetWork Administrator : He is able to replicate all settings between servers.
+ Server Administrator : He is able to excute ServerAdmin commands (Logged in HUT logs).
+ User Administrator : He is able to edit and create users, limited by his own rights.
+ Game Administrator : He is able to configure the server (GameVote and all others stuff).
+ Match Administrator : He is able to control the game and players and set matches.
+ Game Moderator : He is able to boot/kick/ban/unban. He is protected against boot/kick/ban/unban
+ VIP : He is able to join the game even if the server is full.
+ New accounts Security :
I know ASC7 was easy to hack, but this time, HUT uses MD5 encryption to generate Network, Private, Public and Shared keys.
A client can login by sending his public key to the server. The server recognizes the account corresponding to the public key.
The server sends his NetWork key to the client which has to return a shared Key, generated with his public key,
his private key and the NetWork key. This way, no one - not even admins - know clients private key, so never give it.
+ Enhanced HUD :
(TOP) A new HUD replaces the old and buggy chat. It colors words and shows useful information.
(LEFT) It shows the Map ScreenShot, its author, and the server MOTD.
(CENTER) It is possible for an admin to add an important message.
(RIGHT) It shows online news... well I would say it shows HUT global/world statistics.
Except the TOP section, those items will disappear when the player hits fire.
The new chat splits chat and death messages.
+ GameVote :
GameVote is an enhanced MapVote. It allows players to vote for their favorite gametypes, mutators, and maps.
You can set up to 8 different games.
When you setup a game, you choose the gametype, all mutators and all maps you want to use.
All configurations take effect in realtime.
You can also setup the execution of commands at the end and the begining of each game.
Example :
if you want a game with the CTF capture limit to 3 and another one to 6,
you will have to set your capture limit to 3 and set the other game with those cmd lines:
begining: set CTFGame GoalTeamScore 6
end: set CTFGame GoalTeamScore 3
I'll let you imagine what all you can do with that.
+ Match system :
The MatchAdmin must enable the Match System at the begining of a game.
New passwording system - You can allow spectators to enter without password.
- A client will have to set his password in the Client TAB.
- You can send the password with the Match TAB.
Auto-Pauser - Pause the game when the ammount of players is wrong (player leaves mid-match).
+ New pause system :
Because the old pause blocks the chat after few secondes, HUT brings about a new one.
When an admin pauses with HUT, it does not freeze UT :
It saves the remaining time and players location, and put them to a spectator state.
When the game is resumed, all players are set as player and are returned to their original location.
+ Game control system :
You can force the game to :
- start
- pause
- end/vote
- restart
+ Player control system :
You can force a player to :
- Change his team
- Reconnect as spectator
- Reconnect as player
- reconnect on another server (the server will save last servers used)
- send the password
+ Moderator commands :
Like every admin module, HUT has boot, kick, ban, unban functions.
You can control the ammout of game you want to ban.
You must give a reason to kick.
It shows the list of banned players that you can update.
+ Client commands :
TeamBalancer - Balance Teams...
GameVote request - Vote to run GameVote.
if more than 50% of players want a GameVote, then the game stops and everyone votes for the next map.
KickVote - Vote to kick a player (you can't vote or kick a moderator or above).
if more than 50% of players want a player kicked, the player is kicked for the ammount of games you have set.
Quick Commands - disconnect/reconnect/blue/red... everything a client needs.
All those commands can be used with the "IRC fashion". (e.g. !red !spec, shortcut : !r !s)
+ Enhanced Tournament MOD :
The Tournament MOD is always enabled with HUT. But only one player has to say !start or press FIRE to start the game.
When a MatchAdmin is in game, only he will be able to start the game.
There is also a value in seconds you can set to wait for players (during this delay it won't be possible to start the game).
+ Ingame Protections :
Respawn protection - it protects you while few secondes after you have respawned.
Sh0ck protection - it protects you while few secondes after a teammate hits you.
Push protection - it protects you from a teamkill, but only from lava, or a fall... for few seconds after a teammate hits you.
+ Enhanced Death :
It is possible to set the delay that a player will wait after he died.
The player will spectate for the duration of the delay you have set.
+ Anti-Spam :
The anti-spam also checks voice taunts. You can set the muted delay between each taunt.
It disallows the ability to say thing twice and to say 3 things during a period of a few seconds.
+ Names restriction :
You can disallow certain words in names.
Only trusted users will be allowed to use those words in their names.
It is useful to protect a clan tag.
+ Kick-Idler :
This is based on players location. You can setup the delay before kicking an idler.
Note that with a small kick delay, it could be used as an anti-camper.
+ ServerAdmin commands :
Only for HUT Server Administrator.
You can execute any UT Server Admin command even if you are not logged in.
You must use the HUT remote window and check admin in client TAB.
It is not the server console, you have to type "admin" before "set" or "get" commands.
e.g. "mutate utdc shot", "admin set GameInfo MaxSpectators 8".
Cheat commands are disabled (ghost, god, allammo ...).
you can also bind a key in user.ini with "mutate hz701{YOURCOMMAND}", e.g. :
...
F3=ShowObjectives
F4=mutate hz701mutate utdc sshot
F5=ViewTeam
...
+ Colored Teams :
All players are colored with their team color.
It is brighter if the shield is active.
+ Reserved Slots :
VIP are able to login as player even if the server is full.
BUT, most of you are renting a server. If you enable this feature, please read this!:
! YOU HAVE TO REDUCE THE MAXPLAYERS VALUE IN ORDER TO USE THE RESERVED SLOTS FEATURE !
Example: If you are renting a 12 slots server, reduce your server to 10 and set the HUT playerlimit to 12.
If your provider see 13/12 for a 12 slots server, he will shutdown your server.
if your HUT players limit is 12 and your server is 10 players, you will have 2 reserved slots.
+ Auto reconnect :
Reconnect all clients when your server has crashed.
You can setup the delay that the client will wait before they reconnect.
Set a long delay if your server is slow (10 seconds),
or a short delay for a 10Ghz pentium 6 (5 seconds).
When you update your server and if you want the auto reconnect to work while rebooting :
Type "debug gpf" in the console command and NOT "exit" !
Typing "exit" will close all connections and the auto reconnect won't work.
I believe you can use custom webadmin to reboot because it crashes the server.
+ Ingame && Dynamic Log :
HUT has his own log. It logs HUT events, warnings and errors. (Log TAB)
Warnings and errors are saved in hut_log.ini (up to 64 warnings/errors). Only admins see them.
The server will notify admins if the log contains errors, at the begining of the game.
+ PURE Flag Fix :
CTF Flags are not longer black.
+ Enhanced Server Querying :
HUT opens a HTTP connection on your server game port (default is TCP-7777, http://SERVERADDRESS:7777/).
You can query your server from a webserver that does not have PHP sockets enabled!
Check the /hut_query folder included in this pack to use this feature.
e.g. www.nuclearunreal.com use it. (home page)
+ Global statistics DOES NOT MORE WORK
=====================================
What might be in the next version ? (8.3X) CANCELLED
=====================================
+ Something to Allow For Deletion of hut_log.
+ Something to Disable the last played games - like for maps.
+ Something to Import a configured game to the Vote-Config TAB.
+ Something to Bind keys for MatchAdmin (stop,pause,restart,...).
- Fix the server console and client messages.
+ Allow for more than 256 maps.
+ Accumulation mode for GameVote.
+ NetWork TAB : replication between servers (users,games,settings).
+ Chat TAB : PM, IRC.
+ Manual ban.
+ Only kick idlers when the server is full.
+ Personal statistics (?).
- bouton restart server.
+ A lot of disable/enable configurations :*).
- resized window (500*200, a bit smaller than hut7)
And most of the things you will e-mail me or post in the forum.
