Compatibility: can replace the player pawn currently, so may break compatibility with other mutes there..., but weapons alone should be fine.

#### The Mod:
#########################
Since Gears of War is an XBox360 exclusive (at least for the forseeable future) I thought I would try my hand at coding the same type of gameplay mechanic into UT2k4. Dekrayzis and GGEtreme on the Epic forums were interested in doing the art work for a Gears inspired mod (Dekrayzis' idea), so this version is pretty much just a skeleton to test the code out. The weapon models and player model and skins in this mutator were all made by me. New Custom Animations by Dekrayzis for the default UT2k4 player will be added next version.
Features:
Here is the player movement working so far...
-Roadie Running (complete with shakey camera)
-BlindFire
-Aiming weapons
-rolling (sort of, its kind of ugly at the moment..)
###### Special Moves ######
********** NOTE!!!!!!!!! **********
Make sure to bind keys to reload the weapons as well as zooming. Player Movement keys also need to be bound.
Make sure to Bind the action key!
To mantle over railings, face the railing,and then dodge against it. If there is space for you to jump over you will perform the move.
To climb up edges go to the wall, look up at the edge (or slightly above) the edge you want to climb and dodge into the wall.
####### NET PLAY ##########
To play it in a network add the line: NOTE!!! This is not yet network compatible!!!

These are all the wonderful individuals who helped in one way or another on this mod
I used all kind of code from the wiki.beyondunreal.com/wiki and off of the beyondunreal forums....
Mr_SD and Postal also essentially taught me everything I know about weapons coding, and the weapon code in this mod uses methods they showed me. Postal also provided all kinds of useful feedback and ideas.
Dicky_B provided some very useful code for a universal ammo pickup. Try his mod Colossians at http://db.modnmod.com/
A lot of the weapon sounds are all from the Agent X source. I got permission from Mr White(Bertuliet?) a long time ago... I did however record some of the melee hit sounds, found a lot of sounds online using findsounds.com (thanks Lopar-XL)
