OnsChristmas Grinch Sound Options
OnsChristmas can optionally play sound snipets of the Grinch That Stole Christmas cartoon when major ONS events occur. To enable Grinch sounds, one of the OnsChristmasAnnouncer UAX files must be installed with the OnsChristmasV21 mutator.
There are 2 different OnsChristmasAnnouncer UAX files available. A High Quality (22kbps) UAX file (OnsChristmasAnnouncerHQ.uax - 5.2MB) and a Low Quality (8kbps) UAX file (OnsChristmasAnnouncerLQ.uax - less than 1MB).
If both UAX files are installed the HQ UAX file will be the default.
If neither of the UAX files are installed, there will be no Grinch sound snipets played for major ONS events.
Setup Sound Option:
Place one or both of the following files in the Sounds Folder
OnsChristmasAnnouncerHQ.uax
OnsChristmasAnnouncerLQ.uax
If you are running a server. Add one or both of the following lines to the [Engine.GameEngine] section of your UT2004.ini file. The ServerPackages= lines tell the Unreal engine to insure that the players have these packages. Failure to do this will result in no Grinch sounds for your players (unless they have one or both of these files already installed).
ServerPackages=OnsChristmasAnnouncerLQ
ServerPackages=OnsChristmasAnnouncerHQ
HTTP Redirect for Sound Option:
If you are using an HTTP redirect site for your server, copy one or both of these files to the HTTP redirect folder.

Changes since V2.0:
1. Made the Christmas Caps fly off a players head when the player was killed in network games (previously they just flew off in stand-alone games).
Changes since V1.0:
1. Added Christmas Caps!
Due to the timing of this release (immediatly after Angel_Mapper's most excellent SantaHats mutator). The Christmas Caps in these mutators will not be activated if Angel_Mapper's Santa Hats mutator is installed. And since all three of my Christmas Mutators (Capture The Tree, ONS Christmas, and Presents) contain Dr.SiN's Christmas Caps, if any of these mutators or Angel_Mapper's Santa Hats mutator is running, only one of them will be used to put Christmas Caps on the players (one Christmas Cap is enough).
The order of Christmas Caps precedence is:
Angel_Mapper's SantaHats has top priority. If it is installed, it will be used.
CaptureTheTree has the next highest priority. If Angel_Mapper's SantaHats isn't installed, but CaptureTheTree is, it will put Christmas Caps on the players.
ONS Christmas has the next highest priority. If Angel_Mapper's SantaHats, and CaptureTheTree aren't installed, but ONS Christmas is, it will put Christmas Caps on the players.
Presents has the lowest priority. If Angel_Mapper's SantaHats, CaptureTheTree, and ONS Christmas aren't installed, but Presents is, it will put Christmas Caps on the players.
2. Standardized on using Ons instead of ONS when ONS is not concatonated to additional text. This should help with file redirection issues on case sensitive HTTP servers.
