Introduction
So what is FartMatch then? FartMatch is a mutator for Unreal Tournament in which players can use their farts to damage or even kill other players.
To be able to keep farting though, you will need to eat cans of beans which are placed randomly around the levels.
Quick Start
FartMatch's basic setup is ready to work, striaght out of the box. Here's a small rundown of how to start playing as quickly as possible:
- Open the Preferences window and go to the Controls tab, find the "FartMatch" section and set a key for the "Fart" option
- Once the controls are set up, start a new Practice Session
- Set the gametype to whichever you prefer and choose a nice map
- Click the "Mutators" button and find "FartMatch" in the Mutators Not Used list, then double-click it to add it to the Mutators Used list:
- Then close the mutator selection window and start the game
Once in the game, you can fart by using the key you set up earlier. This produces a nice little fart cloud like this:
If another player or bot runs through the cloud, they will take some damage. 
The number of farts you can make are displayed on the HUD just above your regular Ammo counter:
Eventually you will run out of farts however, and you will be unable to fart. To get more "fart power", find one of the cans of beans randomly placed around the map:
That's all there is to it really. Just run around farting. You can fart in tight hallways or small areas if you're being chased so those behind you have to run through your fart cloud and get a bit of damage. This can also be useful in Team games - trap an enemy player in a small area with your team-mates covering the exits. Then you all fart and trap the poor enemy in the middle :-)
One more thing to note is that you don't smell your own farts and therefor aren't damaged by them.
Configuration
Although FartMatch will work perfectly without anything being changed, there are a few additional options for you to customise. These are accessable through the Mod menu from Unreal Tournament's main menu. Upon choosing "FartMatch Configuration" from the menu, you will be shown a small window like this:
Here's a brief description of what each of the various options do:All of these settings except Number of bean cans will take effect instantly. You will need to restart the level or wait for the next level to start before that option will be used.
- Number of bean cans
This will set the number of cans of beans which are added to the maps. Higher values will be more useful for large maps or if you are playing with a lot of players at once.
- Farts at respawn
Setting this determines how many farts you start with after respawning.
- Recover lost Frag Tokens
Set the number of farts you get for eating a can of beans.
- Maximum farts
This sets a limit on how many farts a player can have at any point.
