    How To Install

    For players with the full game...this won't work with the Demo. You can buy the full game from about £3->£10 depending on where you look!

    1) Grab https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lqw4v2emsnps7mne3bw4s/Freon.zip?dl=1
    2) From that zip file copy 3SPNv3210CW.u, Cuddles2.u and Cuddles2.ucl to your ut2004/system directory and then start ut2004

    You should now have several new game-types visible from the "join game"->"internet"->"Game Type" dropdown.

    Freon - Stuck-in-the-mud/Freeze Tag - you'll recognise it when you try it
    ArenaMaster - last man standing wins
    Team Arenamaster - last team standing wins

    How to get to the server

    From the warefare/ctf server input "mutate freon" (without the quotes) into the server console. Get to the console by pressing the tab key (or wherever you mapped it), or going to "say" chat, and deleting the characters "say".

    How to play Freon

    To configure your client with things like bright-skins etc, enter "menu3spn" into the console.

    • You start with all the weapons and ammo that the gametype uses
    • At the top left of the screen you can see a pair of radar blobs per teammate. One shows you the direction to the teammate, the green blob indicates their height in relation to you.
    • Instead of dying from weapon damage, players become frozen in solid ice.  Teammates can help thaw frozen players to bring them back into the round faster.
    • Win a round by freezing all the players in the enemy team
    • The first team to reach the Round Limit wins the match.
    • Frozen players thaw on their own but quite slowly.
    • Stand by your own teammate to speed up thawing. You'll hear a sound as you get close enough. Stand as close as you can.
    • The more of you stand by a frozen teammate the quicker they thaw.
    • Speed combo increases the speed of thawing.
    • Frozen players thaw instantly when pushed into lava.
    • Thawed players receive thaw protection for a short time or until they fire a gun.
    • Thawers receive some points, adrenaline and ammo when they fully thaw a teammate.
    • Frozen players can spectate other teammates.
    • Frozen players can be pushed around.
    • Avoid thawing your teammates to 100% when you are low on health.  Instead, move outside of thawing proximity when they are close to 100%, and they will get the average health of the remaining players. (Though some servers arrange for players always to thaw with 100% health)
    • Do thaw your teammates all the way to 100% if you have a lot of health.
    • If you are low on health, and your teammates have a lot health, you gain health by being close to them...but you also make a bigger target...
    • You can kill frozen teammates by pushing them into deadly areas in the world
    • Necro Combo (back back forward forward) instantly thaws one of your teammates.
