Description:
Changes your point of view from 1st person to 3rd person and adds an auto-adjusting crosshair.
Installation:
Put the following files in the indicated directories:
TakenFromBehind2.u ->
UT2003\System
TakenFromBehind2.int ->
UT2003\System
Usage:
Simply use it like any other mutator. It comes with a configuration menu containing two options: 'Start in 1st person' does exactly what it says; 'Switch crosshairs' switches back to the normal crosshair when in 1st person. Settings will be stored in 'User.ini'.
If you run a server with this mutator, you must add it to the server packages list in UT2003.ini Add the line 'ServerPackages=TakenFromBehind2' under the section labelled '[Engine.GameEngine]'.
Notes:
Unfortunately the only way to get aiming to work properly in 3rd person was to replace the controller. That means this mutator will be incompatible with any other mutator or mod that does the same.
