They're related to the SpeedTree technology, which is what creates a good deal of the foliage you see in some UT3 Maps. Turning that off will make things a bit faster, but less realistic.
For most of them, no, but some might. The game will tell you if you need to restart for your changes to work.
It might be possible that you have to point the Defense Point in a certain direction, the direction they should be watching... have you tried that?
Yeh thats one way to put it.. for me as a bot player.. THEY SUCK, and Iv taken them out of my maps (atleast for myself untill its fixed) BUT bots seem to be programed to defend nere the flag at path nodes.. like In coret.. coret does not have any defence points.. perhaps the mapper saw the flaw with defence points ??! who knoes but dreay suffers due to this big time.. you can run in and out of the base and the bot wont try stopping you.. so the bots will have to see you for some time for the defence point to be any good such as outside maps but they suck indoors.
It's still there but there's a remade frontend that is only 647kb, it may be hosted here, I'm not sure.
Yes- a lot of options which you used to have to go into INI files for can finally be found in the interface with this patch.
