About DuelGame42
DuelGame42 only has one command to access its Options Menu
Mutate DuelMenu
Although should the DuelGame Hud be used then just DuelMenu will suffice.
DuelGame42 will at startup bind your Insert Key if it has nothing in it else you will need
to call up the Client Menu and store your prefered Keybind there.
DuelGame42 offers an extensive Admin Menu where all settings can be changed.
DuelGame42 will only accept these settings regardless of what is in the commandline except for Mutators.
To highlight the Admin Button in the Options Menu you will need to logon using the DuelGame42 Password:
Mutate DuelMenu password
The Admin Menu offers the following switches:

In all cases when viewing the DuelGame from the UT2004 Browser you would see
the game as 2/2 indicating that it is a Duelgame which could deter a player from joining by not
realising it is a rotational game and he needs to join to take a position in the rotation.
Setting this switch On will now display the total Players + the total Spectators out
of the Maximum Players (2) + the Maximum Spectators.
So if your server was set for 12 Spectators and currently there are 2 players and
6 spectators on the server, the Browser would now indicate 8/14 and would encourage players to join.
Chat Log
Off by default.
If set to On then all spectator and player messages would be written to your server log.
Classic Mode
Off by default.
DuelGame42 offers 2 types of GamePlay. The Classic Mode and the Non-Classic or Modern Mode.
In the Classic Mode, a player can only win 3 times (adjustable) before he/she is removed as a player
and put to the back of the que again. This speeds up the rotation and gives everyone a turn.
Switching to Non-Classic or Modern Mode an addition button will now appear in the Options Menu marked
Top Scores
Basically the Winner will now longer be removed and can continue his/her reign until beaten.
This player will have his wins recorded and if the player qualifies, his/her name and score will be recorded

The first 2 players to join will naturally be the 1st players.
Any subsiquent players joining will be made spectators and fall into a que.
The 1st Spectator will be colored Red and will be the next to play the winner.
When the game ends, the Red spectator will receive a Menu popup asking him to select a map to player the winner.
The looser of the match will on the next level be placed at the end of the que.
And so the rotation continues.
Should there be no Spectators, the looser will get the next Map choice.
Swoping
In The Options Menu is a button Swop Menu where a Spectator can request to Swop places with another Spectator.
A Player can also request a swop with a Spectator but not the other way around.
Remarks
Not like previous version DuelGame42 no longer needs the ServerIP as it does its swopping in a different way.
Should anyone try and change their nickname during the game they will be ignored.
Winning credits are only awarded after the new Challenger has selected a map.
