CaptureTheTree Grinch Sound Options

CaptureTheTree can optionally play sound snipets of the Grinch That Stole Christmas cartoon when major CTF events occur. To enable Grinch sounds, one of the CaptureTheTreeAnnouncer UAX files must be installed with the CaptureTheTreeUT2004V13 mutator.

There are 2 different CaptureTheTreeAnnouncer UAX files available. A High Quality (22kbps) UAX file (CaptureTheTreeAnnouncerHQ.uax - 5.2MB) and a Low Quality (8kbps) UAX file (CaptureTheTreeAnnouncerLQ.uax - less than 1MB).

If both UAX files are installed the HQ UAX file will be the default.

If neither of the UAX files are installed, there will be no Grinch sound snipets played for major CTF events.


Setup Sound Option:

Place one or both of the following files in the Sounds Folder

CaptureTheTreeAnnouncerHQ.uax
CaptureTheTreeAnnouncerLQ.uax

If you are running a server. Add one or both of the following lines to the [Engine.GameEngine] section of your UT2004.ini file. The ServerPackages= lines tell the Unreal engine to insure that the players have these packages. Failure to do this will result in no Grinch sounds for your players (unless they have one or both of these files already installed).

ServerPackages=CaptureTheTreeAnnouncerLQ
ServerPackages=CaptureTheTreeAnnouncerHQ


HTTP Redirect for Sound Option:

If you are using an HTTP redirect site for your server, copy one or both of these files to the HTTP redirect folder.

Changes since V1.2:

Added bHidden=True to the CTTFlagCatcher Actor, to eliminate the default texture.

Changes since V1.1:

Changed the CTTFlagCatcher from a child of Mutator to a child of Actor. This resulted in the removal of CTTFlagCatcher from the mutator list.

Changes since V1.0:

Changed the bitmaps for the trees from 512x512 to 256x256. This resulted in a size change from 2.2MB to 700KB.
