Christmas themed mutators and BT++

Is anyone aware of any mutators that add a Christmas feel to UT and are compatible with BT++? SmartCTF has the funky snow-falling scoreboard, and I'm aware of the Christmas trees mod that switches trees for flags, but I don't know if this will work with BT++.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

Xmas trees as flag, snow on F1(or score board by end of the game, idr which), spotlights everywhere (TheDane have xmas lights), and maybe that's all I know for now. I haven't tried any of these awhile I had BT++ but I can try later.

My Xmas mod has not been tested with BT in any version so I expect it will conflict with it, especially on highly customized servers. The mod support has been stopped, so it may be a no-go for BT??
The latest version never got aproved on Unrealadmin if i remember correct? you can grab it here:

or direct download here:

Thanks everyone, I'll investigate these a bit later on my home test server and see what works! Much appreciated

So far I've tested
CTTree33. The Christmas trees
do replace the flags, but there's no snowy scoreboard
I decompiled the two .u files in the zip and had a quick look. I thought I might be in luck because the scoreboard class extends UnrealCTFScoreBoard, and the BT++ scoreboard too. So I reasoned that by changing the declaration from
Code: Select all
class CTTScoreBoard extends UnrealCTFScoreBoard;
To
Code: Select all
class CTTScoreBoard extends BTScoreBoard;
It might magically start working (draw snow on the BT++ scoreboard), but alas! The CTTScoreBoard unit is fairly simple, it overrides two functions and calls the parent/super functions inside of those before doing it's own snow drawing stuff. I'm not sure why my hacky modification didn't work, but when I run UT with my modified copy of CTTree33 and BT++, parts of the BT++ HUD don't draw correctly, so there's obviously more to it than I'm understanding.
Another thing about the Christmas trees - they don't sparkle! I checked the Multiplay servers because I saw a thread on their forum which mentioned that they'd just switched to using these too, and it was the same there. I KNOW I've seen them render with flashing lights (and the CTTree33 readme talks about this), so I don't know if it's something on *my* end, or another issue.
Any of you coding gurus feel up to attempting to make CTTrees play nicely with BT++?

You have two sort of snow coming with.
The beast only working with Scoreboard "SmartCTF SmartCTF_4E" for the other SmartCTF not in the same time you must choose scoreboardSmart or classic scoreboard with snow flakes.
The is to pallid coarse flakes which are themselves ok with all scoreboards.

EDIT: double post unintended, not sure how that happened.
But I've just discovered something - this applies to you too Chamberly! The original CTTrees33 works JUST FINE with BT++. There's no need for any modification to the units, ignore my previous message about updates. The *only* thing that matters is the mod load order, the Readme file is wrong, CTTree33.CTTSnowMutator must come AFTER the BT++ mods.
Chamberly, at the moment only my home server, but I'll let you know if that changes.
