Can It Be Done?

I have been looking for a way to easily change teams, while a game is in progress, for several days. To my knowledge there are no mutators available that accomplish this task for all game types. Eavy's Assault Bonus Pack actually does this perfectly but only for Assault mode and I generally spend most of my time playing CTF and Domination maps. I came across this little bit of information in The BIG Unnoficial Unreal Tournament FAQ

Fast PlayerSetup
<key>=menucmd 2 1
This brings up the player setup menu for faster team switching.

The only way I know how to change teams is to go into the Player Setup area and to change your color once the game has started. By using the Fast PlayerSetup key bind I am able to get to the screen nice and quickly but still have to hit the Escape key twice to return to my game.

The Question
Is it possible to bind a key to press other keys? For example: By pressing the Q key the escape button is pressed twice, which for my case would return me to the game when I finish changing teams in the PlayerSetup window.



FYI: Eavy does note that there used to be a console command for switching teams but Epic removed it to discourage people from doing so. He said the code still exists in UT which is how he was able to impliment it into his Assault pack.

Re: Can It Be Done?

It's been a long time since I looked at anything UT99. As I recall the mutator MapVote had built in a "nextteam" command. I don't think that this was a standard part of UT99. In my User.ini I have this bind:

Code:

Insert=Say I'll switch | mutate nextteam

Sorry I couldn't be of much more help.

Re: Can It Be Done?

what's the problem?

during a game, change your character info to be on red or blue.

Re: Can It Be Done?

Find yourself a mod called Xmaps. Should do everything you need it to do and more.

Re: Can It Be Done?

I found it and installed it but still don't see a way to switch teams. What exactly am I looking for?

Re: Can It Be Done?

As far as I know you can't make a bind to switch teams, gotta go through the menus. Best you can do is bind the player setup menu.

Some servers may run mods or cheat protections that allow that though. Like Doctor B posted, some mods let you change teams fast like that. Just need to figure out if the server is running a mod with a command like that, then bind the command to a key.

Xmaps can be a lil tricky to use at first but once you figure it out, its real nice.

Well I run a server so it would be very nice to know what mods these are. For the life of me I cannot find such a feature in Xmaps.
