I applaud your hard work. I hope Epic reaches out to you about incorporating this into the standard game. Domination should be a part of it.

Thank you. I also do hope Epic would do so. But the sad thing is, I am beginning to believe they just don't care for the majority of the UT modders. I truly wish it was different. Yet it has now been well over a year since I have first submitted my mod to Epic via a pull request on GitHub. To this day, not one word from them. And to be honest, there is alot of other stuff also just sitting there. They are more then welcome to use my code any way they see fit. Use it as is, make changes, I don't care! As long as, all the time I put in, does not go to waist.
Yet as more time goes on, the more I believe, they just don't care. In the last few months, I have seen some of the hardcore UT modders give up and leave UT. They basically said, this is a dead end project.

I also think time-proven modes should find their way into new game. But it seems Epic's stategy regarding game modes is somewhat like 'novelty is the key' (every game = new modes). So, I'm almost sure although they will welcome that one and other modes (like Invasion, Assault, BR, SP) - but most likely only in form of unofficial mods.

Does this also work online and can you provide information on how to run it on a server?
Good job on the mod, glad to see it back again !

Unofficial mods are fine too, the problem is distribution for code mods as Snake pointed out in the OP.

@ Posting this thread in 'Level Design':
Maybe there should be a well defined subsection for released and/or WIP gamemodes and/or mutators since they are generally composed of several disciplines including code, level design, materials, textures, sounds, etc. "Published mods" perhaps.

Yes the plugin works online for clients. UT4 Servers need to install the following:

REQUIREMENTS:
Unreal Tournament 4 Server Version: released on 07/13/2016
(Tested with the UnrealTournament-Server-XAN-3045522-Win64.zip )


See the included file UTDomGameServer_README.txt for server setup details. If you need more help let me know.

Thanks Snake for your effort!
Please put in stand by this great mod and put a bit of patience in this ut ins't still a full game there are many to-do-list, Joe Wilcox is saying basically and right now, that is very early to put more blueprint support for mods.
Thanks again dude!

We all need to stop kidding ourselves. For Epic to be using UT4 in professional gameplay, I think we can agree its no longer a "Pre-alpha" version.

BTW this mod has no blueprints, its done 100% in C++.

[darksonny]

why do you think current ut build is not longer a pre-alpha version? it does has still many things to fix

[Prescovio]

Will this be available for linux soon? Would be interesting to try it out online.

Use the server version. Just install the UTDomGameMode folder to your Plugins folder. Also there is not currently any Editor support in that install. If you need Editor support let me know.

Let me know if it works, I have not done any testing on Linux, but I am assuming that it will work.

I can't download anything from moddb, can you use an other mirror?
Also why so much stuff, all we need is a .pak file, at least this works for all the other mods.
Would be awesome if you could just upload the .pak file somewhere.

It is available for download on GitHub. Other then that, is there a place you would like me to upload it to?

huh? The game plugin consists of basically 4 required files, in addition to the maps. The rest is stuff for the Editor (.uasset files)
Due to the limitations of UE4, C++ based mods can not be cooked/packaged into a map, only .uasset files can be (textures, staticmesh, blueprints, etc). Native C++ plugins (DLL files) must be manually installed by the user outside of UE4. All of the included DOM maps are normal .PAK files, but they do have a external dependency upon the plugin (UTDomGameMode.dll and UTDomGameMode.plugin). And another limitation by Epic's design, is that DLL files can not be automatically downloaded from a game server when a map is auto downloaded in game.

[Metalfist]

It is working now on moddb. The only thing that is a bit sad is this:

2) Players who do not have this plugin installed, when joining an online Domination game. The map maybe
auto-downloaded, but will fail to load or the game may crash.

Players must have the Domination Game Mode plugin installed, prior to joining an online Domination game.

There is no way to make the players auto download it from the server?
I believe the Assault gamemode didn't do that, it loaded fine while I did not have all the files.
