DESCRIPTION

Adds the Unreal II XMP weapons to Unreal Tournament 2004. Fully customisable.
Also includes Shield Reward that allows dropping the remaining shields when an
enemy dies much like with UDamage Reward, and Unreal II Power Stations that
replace all health and shield pickups with stations from Unreal II.
Thanks to Unreal Development Network (UDN) for listing certain functions; Epic
Forums community for providing help and answers (especially Wormbo and others
in the Programming forum). Also thanks to Gugi for creating UnrealDeps. And of
course, FreeMonkey for making the base, UTXMP, and Legend Entertainment for
making the base for UTXMP - U2XMP, and its base Unreal II: The Awakening.
Also special credit goes to Infernus, who made the base for the Shield Reward
mutator.
