Installation
=================================================================

The Haunted requires the latest UT3 Patch 

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CREATE A SEPERATE INGAME PROFILE FOR THE HAUNTED.
OTHERWISE IT WILL OVERRIDE YOUR UT3 SETTINGS AND KEYBINDINGS.


Remove the old version
----------------------------
Skip this step if you dont have the 1.02 version installed
Delete the TheHaunted folder from UTGame\published\CookedPC\ 
and delete the UTHauntedGame.ini from UTGame\config\


Extract the files
----------------------------
You have two directories for UT3.
A Main directory and a My Games directory

The Main directory is where you have your Unreal Tournament 3 installed.
The My Games directory is where all the mods go. 

Extract the contents of the .rar file into the Documents\MyGames\Unreal Tournament 3\ directory
And ONLY there. So you have a UTGame folder and HauntedGame folder in there.


Shortucts
----------------------------
Maybe you're lucky and the supplied shortcut finds your UT3.exe and you can launch the game right away.
Otherwise, you manually have to create a new shortcut. Read on.


UT3 Retail Version Shortuct
----------------------------
Locate the UT3.exe in your UT3 installation directory.

For example:
C:\games\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries\UT3.exe

For Steam it is something like this:
C:\Steam\Steamapps\Common\UnrealTournament3\Binaries\UT3.exe

Right click on the UT3.exe file and create a shortcut.
Rename it to The Haunted or whatever you like

Right click the shortcut and click properties.

Append this line to the target box:
-mod=..\HauntedGame -solomod

It should look something like this:
C:\games\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries\UT3.exe -mod=..\HauntedGame -solomod

Click apply and you're ready to launch the game.
You can start the editor with the same parameters


UT3 Steam Version Shortuct
-----------------------------
Start Steam

Under the My Games tab in Steam, right click on Unreal Tournament 3 and choose the "Create desktop shortcut" option.

Go to your desktop and rename the shortcut to The Haunted or whatever you like

Right click the shortcut and click properties.

Append this line to the target box:
-mod=..\HauntedGame -solomod

It should look something like this:
C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch 13210 -mod=..\HauntedGame -solomod

Click apply and you're ready to launch the game.
You can start the editor with the same parameters


Controls
=================================================================

All haunted specific controls are customizeable in the menu.
Read the manual for a detailed description


Game and server options

inside the UTHauntedStages.ini

Server info and commandlines
=================================================================

The haunted works with webadmin. You may have to start the server twice when switching gamemodes, we are working on this issue.
You can also start a dedicated or listenserver from the menu.

Here are basic commandlines for the different gammodes. 

Coop
-------
ut3 server TH-Canyon?game=HauntedGame.TH_Game_coop?IsDedicated=true -mod=..\HauntedGame -login=YourLogin -password=YourPass

Battle
-------
ut3 server TH-Canyon?game=HauntedGame.TH_Game_tdm?IsDedicated=true -mod=..\HauntedGame -login=YourLogin -password=YourPass

Demonizer
---------
ut3 server TH-Canyon?game=HauntedGame.TH_Game_conversion?IsDedicated=true -mod=..\HauntedGame -login=YourLogin -password=YourPass



Mapnames 
---------
TH-Canyon 
TH-Stronghold


Everything else like maplists and mapvoting works like in ut3.
You can also use mutators like in ut3. 
Please be aware that the haunted does not officially support any mutators except for the ones you find in the menu.

Troubleshooting
=================================================================

Controls
------------
If you cannot change your controls, run the game without the -solomod parameter


Editor
------------
If the editor does not automatically load haunted content, go to HauntedGame\config , open the 
UtEngine.ini and go to [Core.System]. Then add SeekFreePCPaths=..\HauntedGame\published to the bottom.


Language
------------
If you don't see text messages in the game, set the language in the  [Engine.Engine] block of the UTEngine.ini to INT 


Crashes
-----------
If the game crashes, go to our IRC channel and report this immideately.
You can copy a crash log from general protection fault crashes by opening a textfile and pressing ctrl+v right after the crash.
Also, save the Launch.log file from UTGame/logs.
