UT2K4 Question

Post by Carbon »

Hi all! A quick question about UT2K4 files. Will the corresponding texture/sound/music files have file names that will match the map?

I put some maps into my directory and got some errors and was wondering if a missing texture/sound or music file might have a different file name? For example, if I put "MapA.ut2" into my map directory and if that map requires a texture or sound file, must that file also also be called "MapA.utx/.umx/.uax?

I assume that the map maker would make this decision and it isn't a "must" thing; they could call the necessary files whatever they like, yes? If so, wow. I guess I would have to go through my textures folder and test them all? Ugh. No way then. I would think any mapper worth their salt would make the file names correspond?

Strange question? Seems so to me too, but necessary to ask. I guess this shows how little I know about making maps, huh?

Thanks.

There is no correspondence whatsoever in the file names. They can be anything.
So long, and thanks for all the fish

Interesting! Kind of a bummer, but good to know.

Thanks Jack.
