The Player tab. This section of the dialog provides settings for you prisoner! The Global Player Name is the name that will be used in game as well as for statistics keeping.

The Player Clan is where you put your clan tag, if you're in one. An example would be [JB1]. It's used for balancing teams by clans.

The Jailbreak Stats Password is the password you use for accessing your online stats. Remember, Jailbreak stats are different than 'ng' or other kinds of stats and use a separate password. Click the Show Stats button to view your current Jailbreak World Stats record.

Now the Controls tab. This part of the dialog will set up your key bindings. Increase Bot Aggression will do just what it says: it will increase the aggression of the bots on your team. The more aggressive they are the more they'll tend to rush the enemy base.

Decrease Bot Aggression does the opposite: it will set your bots' behavior to a defensive style.

Switch Compass/Scoreboard Order will do two things. When you're playing a game it will change the focus of the compass from either the red release switch to the blue one or vice versa. When you have the scoreboard up it will change the way the players are arranged. You can order the scoreboard in seven different ways: by score, orders, name, ping, attack kills, defense kills, and released teammates.

View Arena Battle will switch your view from the arena back to the jail and vice versa when you're in prison and an arena match is taking place. The Automatic Arena View while in Jail property of this setting will, when checked, automatically switch your view to the current arena fight as long as you are in jail. That means when you're in prison, you'll automatically get a front row seat to any arena fights that take place! Remember prisoner, this can be a little disorienting at first but you'll get used to it.

Alright, now for the Skins tab. Here you can select your interface skin, as well as set a few options dealing with the interface. The Select Interface Skin dropdown box allows you to select the skin you'd like the use as the default interface skin. You'll notice this at the beginning of each game, or when you view the scoreboard. This is the skin that defines your HUD in the JB game.

The Use Skins that are Embedded in Maps option will, when checked, use the interface skin defined by the current map (if the map has its own skin). If this option isn't checked, the default skin, chosen from the dropdown box, will be used in all cases. It's usually a good idea to check this box since embedded skins are usually jailhouse cool.

The Use Crosshairs Defined in Skins option will use crosshairs that are packaged with the current skin you have selected when it's checked. If the current skin doesn't have its own crosshairs then the default crosshairs for Unreal Tournament will be used.

The Download More Skins! button at the bottom of this tab will minimize Unreal Tournament and bring up a web page where you can download more custom interface skins! Customize the look of Jailbreak to your liking prisoner!

The Protection tab is an important one. If you're playing on a server online the server admin will set these and any setting you make will not have an effect on the game, but if you're just playing against bots you can set them to your own liking. First of all, you must select an option from the Release Protection box to activate release protection.

If you select Invincible, prisoners who have just been released are protected with an invulnerable shield for a certain time or until they pick up a weapon. If you select Invincible/Llamaize, attackers who attempt to inflict damage on protected players beyond a certain damage threshold are llamaized in addition to that.

The Time Limit specifies how many seconds the release protection is active. Remember, prisoner, you cannot hurt any opponent with the release protection active.

The Taking a Weapon option specifies how many seconds the release protection remains active after a prisoner picks up a weapon.

The Using a Weapon checkbox will, when checked, remove a player's release protection as soon as they fire a weapon. If it's not checked then the time settings will take effect.

And last but not least, the Pickups tab. These settings are, again, server-side (controlled by server admin) but you can set them for bot matches. Whenever a team is captured and executed, all of the items checked will be respawned if they exist in the map. Got it? Good!

First off we have to select Jailbreak as the game type. In Unreal Tournament click on the Menu dropdown menu, then click on Start Practice Session. The following dialog will pop up.

Now, click on the Game Type dropdown menu and select Jailbreak.

The Rules tab has some settings unique to Jailbreak. The Max Captures setting specifies how many team captures are needed to win the match.

The Team Balance dropdown option tells Jailbreak how to balance each team.

The Capture Timeout option is how long you have to capture an entire team. For example, if this option is set to five minutes and, after five minutes, an entire team has not been captured, everyone in the map is respawned. Try and capture your enemy as fast as you can prisoner, because if you don't they'll be released and will be hunting you down.

The other settings under this tab are all general ones from the stock Unreal Tournament game types.

The only unique option under the Settings tab is the Transloc Delay one. It specifies how much time each player has to wait in between translocations. If this is set to zero seconds then there is no wait and each player can translocate constantly.

Also, the Jailbreak Settings button brings up the Jailbreak preferences dialog when clicked.
