There have been problems running Unreal in UT from my suggestions in the previous thread. Here are new instructions that take the process from scratch:

1) Copy all the Unreal single player maps across to the UnrealTournament\Maps folder (full list of files at end of thread).

2) Copy all the Unreal music files across to the UnrealTournament\Music folder.

3) Open up UnrealEd. Open all of the unreal single player maps one by one (except vortex2.unr, unreal.unr and endgame.unr) and for each one look at Options > Level Properties > LevelInfo > DefaultGameType. It'll be set to "None". Change it to "unrealshare.singleplayer". Save the changes.

4) Create a shortcut to UnrealTournament with the command line (assuming you installed UT to c:\unrealtournament\) "c:\unrealtournament\system\unrealtournament.exe unreal.unr?game=unreali.intro".

5) Create a shortcut to UnrealTournament with the command line (assuming you installed UT to c:\unrealtournament\) "c:\unrealtournament\system\unrealtournament.exe cityintro.unr?game=botpack.UTIntro".

Use the first shortcut when you want to play Unreal - this will play the Nali Castle flyby and switch UT to run Unreal menus in the UT layout.

Use the second shortcut when you want to play UT - this will play the City Intro flyby and switch UT back to running its own menus.

Once Unreal has started up in UT, bring up the UT console and type "preferences" to get the Unreal options. In Advanced > Raw Key Bindings:

Set F2 to:
ActivateTranslator | FunctionKey 2

Set keys of your choice to:
InventoryPrevious
InventoryNext
InventoryActivate

You should now be able to use items and activate the translator.

If you get sound feedback whilst playing in echo areas, go to the advanced options and set UseReverb in Audio to false.

Sorry you have to hack the map properties. It's the only way you can get UT to start a game from Vortex Rikers and play through without screwing up map switching. Just don't do this if you want to be able to play Unreal in Coop.

Full list of the Unreal maps involved in the single player game (edit the properties of each of these except vortex2.unr, unreal.unr and endgame.unr):

Bluff.unr
Ceremony.unr
Chizra.unr
Dark.unr

I know I have made it into a big deal but I don't think there's really another way!

No problem. I hope you don't mind doing all that map hacking... :)

Don't forget to check my editing of the message above - I added how to get the Inventory and Translator to work.

Thanks again - I managed to get the Translator working by myself yesterday, but the Inventory things are useful. :)

hey all, I've been having "issues" with the UnrealEd that came with UT, I have reinstalled (which wiped my single player progress...GRRRRR) and run the UnrealEd patch 4 and still i get errors when running UnrealEd.
I have posted questions in the editing forum, but my question was quite ignored, so, here is the original post with all the details:

I am trying to run UnrealEd for UT, I have downloaded and run the UnrealEdFix4 patch, but it still will mot work correctly. When i run UnrealEd.exe, an error window pops up saying:
"Can't find 'ini:Engine.Engine.EditorEngine' in configuration file.
History: UObject::SafeLoadError <- UObject::StaticLoadClass <- InitEngine"
I am not experienced in dealing with UnrealEd, but i did find in my UnrealTournament.ini file an entry:
"EditorEngine=Editor.EditorEngine"
it looks like somehow, its looking for another 'Engine'. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.

How is UT screwed? Does it have the Unreal menus? If so, use the other shortcut I listed to start UT.

Make sure also you only copied the maps I listed.

What saved game can't you load, is it one you wrote with original Unreal?

Heya,

Unreal has been working fine with my system. I made a separate icon to start it as opposed to UT, and that works fine. I've found a few interesting quirks, however. The flashlight and flares don't illuminate anything, and the flares explode once they're finished. Must be something to do with the UT engine vs. the Unreal one. It doesn't ruin gameplay at all.


Thanks,
lynx

Well, the memu screen is UT browser with original Unreal menu. Is this right? In the save location(There are about 10 rectangular boxes lining vertically) I could save the game in there from Unreal. However, when I go to "load" and select the saved status(it tells the name of the map like "vortex" and time) and it says "can't find url" or something like that. Well, what i meant by screwed is that no matter which icon(UT or Unreal one with the pass) I choose, I see a UT browser with Unreal options. I can't change character, voice or anything!!! I dunno if I copied a map that I was not supposed to.

Use the UT one with the pass. I listed that one above too. That'll fix it.

Sorry for any confusion.

Can't load path? Hmmmm. Anyone else had this problem?

Hi,

He might need to specifically state the path to the save folder in the [Core.System] section of the Unrealtournament.ini file. I think by default it is ../save, but I changed mine to "C:/UnrealTournament/Save" (no quotes) and it works fine (even though the slashies go the wrong way for the DOS world... go figure).

Hope that helps,
Lynx

Hi!
Great work Hellscrag, almost everything seems to work now, and UT`s engine is MUCH faster than Unreal`s. But I have one problem: No matter which skill level I choose, the game runs with medium skill. Too easy. ;) Anyone knows a fix for this?

Found a solution myself. Bind a key (NOT Escape!) to "ShowMenu". Pressing it will bring down the old Unreal selection menu. Start your game from here instead from the UT menu, and skill selection will work correctly. :)
