To use these maps do the following:

1.) The file "DM-(~DCI)Dead-Cat-Invasion-Pack.ut2" is a placeholder...ignore it

2.) Place all 8 of the .ut2 files in your ut2003\maps directory

3.) Unzip WildWestv101.zip and place the files in the following ut2003 directories:

wildwest_v101.u and wildwest_v101.int - ut2003\system

wildwest_sounds.uax - ut2003\sounds

wildwestpak_animations.ukx - ut2003\animations

wildwest_staticmeshes.usx - ut2003\staticmeshes

WildwestSkins.utx - ut2003\textures

4.) Install the Fyrian Cannon in the same manner as the WildWest mutator...Check the Fyrian ReadMe if needed.

The Wild West Colt Peacemaker mutator may be used separately in the "Arena" or "Replacement" modes...IT MUST BE INSTALLED FOR THE DEAD CATS INVASION MAPS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. Many thanks to Gusher at PreFabLab and Mr. Evil for the outstanding work. The weapon is a total anachronism inside of UT2003...and that is what makes it so much fun! Not to mention that it also kicks some serious monster booty...:-)

The Fyrian Cannon mutator may be used separately in the "Arena" or "Replacement" modes...IT MUST BE INSTALLED FOR THE DEAD CATS INVASION MAPS TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. Many thanks to Gusher and NeroTBF at PreFabLab for the skin and the model and to Mr. Evil for the outstanding weapon work. This is a very powerful weapon, but it does use ammo like grease through a goose and it will overheat...especially in secondary mode...if you're not careful with it. As with the WildWest mute, see the ReadMe for more details on its proper use in combat.

Also huge thanks go out to Ghandi and Raven for their great MP5 and Benneli Shotgun.

There have been numerous changes in the maps, especially Shotgun Gulch which is now about half its original size.

****IMPORTANT NOTE #1 - All of these maps contain an Enhanced Shock Rifle. With the exception of Silly Liver and Little Liver, they are very difficult to obtain without killing yourself. In two of the maps they are in secret areas protected by deadly mazes. Make sure that your "World Detail" setting is set to at least "HIGH" or you will not be able to see the things that can kill you.***

****IMPORTANT NOTE #2 - You MUST replace the file "wildwestpak_animations.ukx" with the one included in the WildWestv101.zip or YOU WILL GET A VERSION CONFLICT ON THE DEAD KITTY'S UT2003 SERVER...Put simply, if you are prompted to over-write a file for the Wild West mutator, click on "Okay"***

****IMPORTANT NOTE #3 - DM-(DCI)-Little Liver is a scaled down version of Silly Liver designed to permit much improved frame rates in the higher waves of monsters. Although they look very much the same, the game-play is entirely different and as result of that, I've chosen to leave both maps in the pack. There are a few added little treats in the smaller version for all of the Dead Cats that helped me beta test these puppies over the last few weeks.

If you want to play the maps competetively on-line, visit the Dead Cat's UT2003 server at: 129.113.170.13 after 5:00pm CST and 24 hours on the weekends and holidays. We run both the CTF and Invasion game-types.
