Do you mean like this? Then it will work if people just paste it? LODBias=0.000000 ; Negative values to sharpen textures. (ex: -1.5) Looks bad with S3TC on, keep at 0 if you're using them.
I will add the the texture skin part soon. I just want to be completely clear on it though.
So after people have installed the S3TC textures, they remove these S3TC skins (Only Female1Skins.utx, Female2Skins.utx, Male1Skins.utx, Male, Skins.utx, Male3Skins.utx, SkTrooperSkins.utx and nothing else)
and put them in another folder. Then they put s3fix in the textures folder run it (when it runs it has some textures which is says it patches but it says it skips the skin textures because they could not be found) and let it finish. After that drag the S3TC skins back in the textures folder and you are done.
I underlined some stuff for extra emphasis.

yes , its what they should do . but for me , textures xkins was not s3tc , i havent them installed for skin , only the map textures .
so , it must work with both i think .

Oops i just looked at the skins on the cds... there are no S3TC skins... my bad...
Edit: Oh, and nutella could you explain what you said about those semicolons?
Edit2: I added that skin texture thing info.

While I'm thinking about it, what's the difference between OpenAL and FMod for me as an end user? Like, which sounds better or is better used in UT?

It's the comment delineator, so you could have entries like this:
LODBias=0.000000 ;; Negative values to sharpen textures. (ex: -1.5)
;;;;; Looks bad with S3TC on, keep at 0 if you're using them.
and people could just paste the whole thing into their .ini without deleting the comments. Doesn't look that great, but it's convenient.
i tested Deathmatch online with s3tc enabled and the slide effect is still visible , i can move ect.. , but others players looks they slide on the floor .
apparently the fix dont work for DM in the retail maps .

OK
When this gets all figured out by you UT masters, please put a quick summary out for the rest of us. I already use the high res and have little if any probs with it. I think it looks good. Not great or awesome or anything but better for sure. Didn't I read somewhere that all of this was going into a manual?

You can get OpenGL and OpenAL drivers for Unreal at www.oldunreal.com. It's not the same, obviously. I haven't seen the .ini, but there's bound to be some overlap.
I have been planning on updating this guide thing for awhile but I am currently too busy...finals and stuff.... it might take a couple of weeks until I get around to it....so...um...yeah.... just for everyone's information....
Firstly, I would like to thank everyone in this thread for making my UT look so much nicer 
been playing it for about four years online now (I'm a true instagibber .
However, I still have a slight problem. Since this weekend I have a new pc: AMD 64 X2 3800 with a GeForce 6800GT and this caused my UT some problems. It runs like crap: it runs for a second, seems to stop and then goes on again at an increased speed, stops again etc. I tried a million things before even coming here, finally concluded that it did the same even in software mode, which made me think about the dual core thing. So I forced it on one core and voila, everything worked all of a sudden. Is there any way that anyone knows of to fix this problem, or just have it run on one core permanently? (its quite annoying to have to force it every time it starts again). Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would love to be able to play the game properly again with all these cool graphics enhancements

A lot of older games have that problem, just disable one core for the game.PhoenixArisen said:Firstly, I would like to thank everyone in this thread for making my UT look so much nicer

Hello everyone! (1st post)
A old UT-fanatic needs your help.
UT v.436, OpenGL OldUnreal driver
Graphic card: Nvidia 6800GTI, newest driver
CPU: 4,5ghz dual core
Problem: Speed of the game, sometimes the game is super-slow or two times faster than normal,this is really annoying.
I turned V-Sync on (both graphic card AND ut ogl driver) but this doesnt help at all, I dont know what to do.
Some one said that I can disable on core for the game, but how? Iam not a great computer expert.
I am sure you can help me.
Thank you.

When UT's Framerate gets too high, it will do that.
Start up the game, type preferences in the console, hit enter.
You're looking for a value called FrameRateLimit in your renderer, which in this case, is OpenGL. Set this to about 200 and you should be good.
