BioLauncher Mutator [BP][Updated: 2017-07-16]

[RattleSN4K3]

BioLauncher Mutator
Replaces the BioRifle and GrenadeLauncher with the BioLauncher (including ammo)
Optionally replaces with weapon having the Bio web in alternative fire mode

This mutator was a community request with the build of 2848065 (2/1/2016) which had a problem with the BioLauncher ammo pickups. This has been fixed the following builds. [strike]This mutator is not required anymore but it can be used in addition to the Weapon Replacement mutator[/strike] BioLauncher was replaced by the GrenadeLauncher therefore you need this mutator in order to play with the original BioLauncher. The official weapon replacement mutator works fine by replace a weapon with the BioLauncher weapon. This would also replace the ammo pickups of the replaced weapon.


Version: 1.10

Comment:

As of 2883976, the BioLauncher is shipped therefore the official Weapon Replacement would work by replacing the a weapon with the Bio Launcher.
As of 3164292, the BioLauncher got replaced by the Grenade Launcher. This mutator embedded the BioLauncher. The BioLauncher is also available as weapon on the Weapon Replacement mutator configuration menu.

Since the bio launcher has been removed, anyone interested in reviving the BioLauncher?

[UCD SKAARI]

Bio Launcher is removed?

[RattleSN4K3]

Bio Launcher is removed?

The "Bio Launcher" is replaced by the Grenade Launcher.

[MaxiNick]

I love Bio rifle, can you do mutator removed grenade launcher to rhe biorifle?

p.s. sorry for my bad english =)

[RattleSN4K3]

Not sure how to deal cases when a map does have both type of weapons included, Bio Rifle and Grenade Launcher. I will likely replace the Bio Rifle with the Launcher. The official/stock Weapon replacement mutator can be used for additional replacements.

[UCD SKAARI]

The "Bio Launcher" is replaced by the Grenade Launcher.

Thanks RattleSN4K3 . I think the ESL needs to change the rules now. For the Map DM-ASDF was the following requiered = Weapon Replacement: Bio Launcher -> Bio Rifle

Cheers SKAARI

[RattleSN4K3]

Updated mutator, check the first post for the download. It now has the BioLauncher embedded. The mutator will replace the BioRifle with the BioLauncher. The weapon itself can also be configured to replace any other weapon with the official/stock Weapon Replacement mutator. The assets were used from the old build (Github) and fixed to work with the current build (replacing redirects).

Please, provide feedback about the weapon if anything is not working as intended. Keep in mind, I am not planning to update the weapon mesh, logic or weapon stats in the future.

Great Job [MENTION=192]RattleSN4K3[/MENTION] It works with Weapon lockers too! We could really use a Proper Weapon Replacement mutator! The in-game one is broken and no one will bother to fix it! It doesn't work right with Custom Weapons, Custom Ammo and Weapon Lockers! Its been over a year since I sent out a bug problem about it!

[RattleSN4K3]

Thanks.

It works with Weapon lockers too!

Oh yes. I've added that support with 1.2 but forgot to state it in the changelog.

Not sure about that. The BioLauncher (which is now a custom weapon) does work with the Weapon Replacement mutator. Such problem is often caused by third party mutators which are implementing specific methods but not calling the parent method at any time (for instance CheckRelevance which is crucial). This does break the chain of the specific call (when the weapon base is created), even for the official weapon replacement mutator. So in case you are running into an issue with a custom weapon not working with the replacement mutator, try running it without any other mutator first. A workaround would be changing the order of the added mutators. But more importantly inform the author of such mutator. This is not even strictly a Blueprint-only or mutator-only problem. It can and does happen in game modes as well but also C++. But C++ is easier to see the problem, in Blueprint the "super call" isn't easy to spot if you need to call it. And then it's not convenient to add the call due to the lack of user friendly design, you need to open the content text of the overridden node and add it via a menu entry ("Add call to parent function"). There is no "executable action" when you drag from an execution pin or right click in the open area.

But yeah you're right about the Weapon locker. The official/stock weapon replacement mutator does not check for weapons in the locker to be replaced.

Can you make the Bioweb work again? I miss this Feature

[RattleSN4K3]

Can you make the Bioweb work again? I miss this Feature

I still can as the native/C++ web code is still accessible/available. Not sure if a add it to the current BioLauncher or creating a option for it (likely another weapon based on the BioLauncher).

A Option is a good Idea for that ones that wants this and for other that think the bioweb is op can deactivate this

[RattleSN4K3]

I'll likely add the web back (as another weapon). But I wait for the next update (since it will require maps/mods being recooked).

[RattleSN4K3]

Updated mutator for the new UT version 0.1.6 build 3190340 (11/10/2016). It now includes a weapon/mutator to feature the BioWeb, this way the BioWeb is optionally for servers/players to choose which version they like to add.

Changelog v1.3

• Re-cooked mutator
• Added: BioWeb (via new weapon "Bio Launcher + Web")
• Added: BioLauncher+Web mutator
