Alternate DUP Change Utility

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

Any chance of a non-umod version? Windows 2000 users have problems with UMod files :(

Another thing: Shortcut gives an error (but runs) if you have UT2004 installed to a different directory.

Yesterday I`ve had some hours left so I continued with this project.

Now the whole original characters (portraits and bio) are implemented and some other sections are also working now.

Today I want to include (at least) the 3 already switched DUPs in the DB (portrait,author,bio and download link) and create a non-umod-installable version (hope this works the way I want)

Hopefully I can send the actual beta to SaD this week ;)

I will see if I can include a menu music (thx for the tip UTGirl) and the Names said in UT2k3 style. Let`s see if I can make it :p
But that`s something for the future ;)
If you have any further comment and suggestions let me know

That tool looks really nice, you should call it UT2k4 Command Center or something else due it looks like a whole database :lol:

hm, I remember I`ve seen a textfile for UT(99) some time ago, with all weapons, maps and so on also included!
This would also be great, this would make this prog a must have for every fan :D

btw, I`d include K-Rod too, a real nice one.

Maybe switch Theory to another one, `cause this one looks like a real Jackhammer to me :p
Worth considering, let`s see how the roster will be in the end :)

EDIT1:
Of course there are also some new screenshots on board


EDIT2:
I`ve added new skins from Slaughter, klasnic and MacTom27

EDIT3:
There are some good skins by other authors too, I`ll try to contact them for their permission for usage

EDIT4:
Sorry for MAC-users currently only PC is supported, if someone has an idea how I can make this compatible for MAC too (batchfiles are used) I`d appreciate that
Currently this patch comes with an exe-installer (umod has issues, manual installation is almost impossible)

EDIT5:
If you have a prior version of ADSU installed, please delete the many upls it had (manually or with the button) to avoid troubles
