When I install U-Gold and start it up I can choose between Unreal or RtNP,but if I apply the 227f Unreal patch,no more choice! Should I leave U-Gold as is or is there something I can do to make RtNP show up in the new game menu after patching? Thanks:)

Because of (I believe, legal) issues atm, when you patch UnrealGold with 227, your game will revert to Unreal. RTNP functionality will be patched in at a later time.

There are no legal issues, upak is in 277g, but only internal versions...

There was unofficial one before too...if you have that by any chance but it has incompatibility problem with 224 upak.

You won't be able to start it anyway in 227 if you don't have the conformed upak.

always wondering why people ignore Oldunreal forums, wiki and FAQ.

Somewhat you are both right. There were (are) legal issues and yes, 227g will have a separate version for UGold.
227f as patch for classic Unreal doesn't contain UPak for legal reasons. I was not given permission to add UPak content into it. Instead I was told to make a separate patch which can be applied to UGold and Anthology only with Upak included. That I will do with 227g then.
But there is an unofficial 225 conversion for UPak floating around which can be used in 227f also to be able to play it again.
Release of 227g will be soon. No exact date possible yet, since still fixing bugs...

Thanks all for your replies,I may just wait for 227g now,but what I did do was use 227f and the 225 conversion,create a shortcut to Upak.unr and I've been playing RtNP no problem:)I actually started playng it yesterday,but just figured out this morning to load Upak.unr to access my saved games.I don't know if 225 played a part in the process or not but I do know I still can't access RtNP from the Unreal new game menu,and that's why I'm so looking forward to 227g because I've been playing these games once or twice a year for 9 years now,and I would really like to play the proper way,you know?
I have played RtNP thru UT99 but it always screws up UT after I'm done and it's a royal pain to fix it everytime,so thank you Smirftsch and Leo for all the work you guys do to keep these great games alive:)
