UT3

  • 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.

No, I don't even have UT3 installed properly in my new PC.
I think Epic going the M$ way of using the 'Documents and Settings' and 'Program Files' folders for their game was the final screwup of the century.
If they just stuck to their normal C:\UnrealTournament3 for everything, I'm sure there would be a lot more life in this game.
I had all the folders, Source, compiling and shortcuts well organised on my old PC but in my new PC it was just far far too much hassel to go through all those setups again just for a game that's got no future anyway, hence I just installed it to try and left it at that.
To edit/compile/test/add a mutator to UT3 is an absolute fcuking nightmare :(

Hi Big_Deal, welcome back :)
Yes I know you can change the installation folder for UT3 but the problem is a lot of people are making self install mods and stuff which point to the old folder which are defaulted in the 'documents and settings' etc and 99% of these authors don't know how to do a % search for these folders.
I have experience now from the M$ Flight Simulator that I've been heavily involved in over the last 6 months and it has the same crappy problem and every forum is full of 'how do I do this' and 'how do I do that'.
Windows has been the biggest hoax played on man.
I have gone back to the 3dRealms team in developing the Duke Nukem and Shadow Warrior ports and its and absolute blast and am enjoying every second of it and even changed my website to suite :)
I have also put UT2004 back into my PC and play the odd game there as my new PC with UT2004 is unbelievable ;)

Just having a look at the changes in Patch 3 and I see many things have finally been fixed, eish, 8 months later.
I will see now maybe I will have another look one of these days :)

Where can I find this voting mutator ?
I'm currently working on a graphical editor for a particular game project and should be on it for maybe another month or so.
Then I'll have a look at the UT3 code again although I think converting UT2Vote is maybe a bit heavy but we will see.
Does UT3 have a white listing and all that crap like UT2k4 had ?

Thats good news about the white list :)

What is the procedure to set up a simple deathmatch server ?
Do not refer me to some url :D
Btw, I do have the 1.4 gig free server but lost the key.

I've hit a few snags.
Firstly whenever I enter the game my map spins round and around and around.
No matter what I do, it spins round and around...........
Then after about 2 minutes everything crashes so bad that it blanks out my screen and the TaskManager does not even work and all I can do is hard reset the PC.
Looks like I will need to re-install at some stage as I want to reformat my drive and start again with a fresh copy of Xp as the MS Flight Sim X has screwed my PC up something horribly.

Yeah it did, thanks.... so far so good :)
Oh, one more thing... I seem to remember when I had it installed in my old PC, I did a setting somewhere that switched off all that startup spalsh screens and went straight into the precaching, do you know what settings this was ?
I have also figured out my shortcut which works great with patch 3:
Code: 
"C:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries\UT3.exe" DM-Deck?Game=UTGame.UTDeathmatch?GoalScore=10?TimeLimit=10?NumPlay=2 -login=ProAsm -password=whatever -useunpublished
;)

Click to expand...

Yes...
Open UTEngine.ini

[FullScreenMovie]
;StartupMovies=Copyright_PC
;StartupMovies=EpicLogo
;StartupMovies=MidwayLogo
;StartupMovies=UE3_logo
;StartupMovies=Nvidia_PC
;StartupMovies=Intel_Duo_Logo
;StartupMovies=UT_loadmovie1

Also replace the file from here: http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=612106
What it make? When you start UT3 it loads a file like a map for background...this file makes you a grey background...you will see how fast your ut3 menu will be ;)

Thank you.
Hell what a difference with that Frontend :)

PS... Now I got another problem... everytime I select the flakcannon (my favourite) the whole of the bottom half of the screen goes black and I cannot see anything and with other weapons its ok.
I tried different drivers.
The game still freezes now and then and I have to hard reboot :(
