What all can I delete from UT?

{GD}Odie3 · Jan 8, 2004

For INF to still run, what all can I delete from UT and still run INF 2.9?

I assume the contents of UT/Maps. What about other stuff under UT root directory?

I also assume: leave the UT/system directory the hell alone

/music might go as well, everything else should stay. you *may* delete the standart textures or at least these that are realy not used in inf (open unrealed and use common sense on this), but some costom maps as well as a few official maps use one or two of the standart texture packages. in /sounds a few can go, but a lot have to stay as well.

I'd keep Maps/Entry.unr as well. You're not really going to save much disk space, so unless it's really critical I'd leave it well alone.

Hmm. I'm not sure about deleting the textures. You might, for example, get a texture package full of weird alien architecture, but with a sweet concrete texture...

I'd leave the game as is just to be on the safe side... ut maps could perhaps go... but i would leave textures and sounds alone.

thats what i ment with using common sense. i had deleted most of my standart textures for quite some time (the only reason why they aren't now is because i reinstalled). there are packs full of textures you just won't ever need for infiltration, and as textures beside maps are the biggest space wasters in ut it might be usefull to check which ones you can remove. after all you can just make a backup on cd in case you deleted a needed one.

true. anyway a backup is always welcome in such operation as sliming down an installation.

Thanks Guys for the input!

My problem with textures is *which* once to leave out

There are so many!

fist_mlrs · Jan 8, 2004

open them in unrealed and have a look. if there is green/violet slime all over it's not very likely to be used

You could move the files instead of deleting to begin with, then play for a month or something before you perma delete.

Backup ALL UT textures to CD, then play all your Infiltration Maps locally, any textures you need will show up and you can copy them back from CD

Occasionally when playing new maps on-line it may throw up a missing texture but it should download it for you, if not keep that backup CD handy

That's what I did, repeated with sounds as well
