New and Improved UT3 UI

sorry, but this isnt just slightly misleading on purpose, there is nothink you could call a "new UT3 UI" . its just improving the current menu-performance a little at the best case (for me, there is no noticeable difference in loading-time of all the options).

i thought someone remade the UI-strukture at least when i saw the title " New and Improved UT3 UI", thats why im mad at this.

btw a really cool improvement of the UI would be if the current ingame-map would be displayed insteat of this UTFrondEnd.ut3 ... it was this way in UT1 when u disabled the Desktop at the UWindows UI.

i really miss U-Windows everytime i have to use this crappy imitation of an effort of a UI

Pretty Decent .... Thank you I am going to keep using ut!

Any screenshots of newer version?

It's called a console UI.
Pretty much like the whole ensemble of the game actually.

Yeah...

Thank You.

Shows how much notice I take, I've only just put this in, fired it up once, checked it out, and shut the game down for now. I honestly couldn't tell you what was there before, and whatever it was I certainly don't miss it This will do nicely, doesn't feel out of place or anything, for all intents and purposes it could be part of the original package.

I liked MrEvil's comment regarding this new backdrop:

[URL]
Protocol=unreal
Name=Player
;Map=UTFrontEnd.ut3
Map=Micro-FrontEnd.ut3
;LocalMap=UTFrontEnd.ut3
LocalMap=Micro-FrontEnd.ut3
TransitionMap=EnvyEntry.ut3
MapExt=ut3
EXEName=UTGame.exe
DebugEXEName=DEBUG-UTGame.exe
SaveExt=usa
Port=7777
GameName=Unreal Tournament 3
GameNameShort=UT3

GAH!
Been trying to make my own version with the Character Customization rooms mostly intact(pretty much just the platforms) and for the life of me I cannot get the damn thing to cooperate. UEd keeps griping about 2 editor exclusive object that I can't seem to remove(some kind of TexProp?)
