Cosmic Unreal Web Application

Version 0.5

www.planetunreal.com/cosmic

Description:

With the numerous game play options of Cosmic Unreal, it is quit impossible to tell what type of game you'll have when joining a game that has the *Cosmic* mutator. This CU Web Application is the first attempt to get around this problem. It allows a user to query a server about how Cosmic Unreal is configured and displays this information in there favourite browser. Once you know the IP of the server, you can display the information about the server by pointing the browser to:


http://server.ip.address/cosmic

For Example:

http://127.0.0.1/cosmic

It is important to note that the web address is case sensitive.

No information will be displayed if Cosmic is not a mutator on the server's system. If however, Cosmic is an included mutator then a web page (example) will appear showing basic configuration information. You can make your decision to join this CU game based on this information.

Future version of this package will include the ability to administer CU, and the ability for players to sign on and register which IMs they want to play with.

Installation Instructions:

Open up UnrealTournament.ini from your UT/system directory, in a text editor. Find the section marked [UWeb.WebServer]. Find the first entry of Applications[ ] that is blank. If you have not installed other Web Applications then this will probably be Applications[2]. Change the line to read:

Applications[2]=CosmicWebApp.CosmicWebApp

And also change the corresponding line:

ApplicationPaths[2]=/cosmic

Of course replace the 2 in each of the above cases with the number referring to the first blank entry. If there are no more blank entries (currently very unlikely since there are few Web Application) you'll have to either remove one of the other applications or not use this package.

To make this package work Web Server must be enabled. This is a small checkbox to turn on when creating a new multiplayer game. If web serving is not enabled, then you will not be able to connect to the CU Web App.

Uninstall Instructions:

Pretty much the opposite of the above. Open up the UnrealTournament.ini file in a text editor. Find the [UWeb.WebServer] section. Find the Applications[ ] entry that contains the value CosmicWebApp.CosmicWebApp. Erase the value part and the corresponding value in ApplicationPath[ ]. So if CosmicWebApp.CosmicWebApp was installed in slot 2 then make the ini file have the following 2 lines:

Applications[2]=

ApplicationPaths[2]=
