A little background:
For many years (6+), I have wanted to play coop in UT99 but have been put off by having to install oldskool... I've always been a classic Unreal 1 player purely because of its once-great development community that was particularly rooted in Cooperative play. Fast forward a whole lot of time after designing countless mods and maps and I'm at a point where I have realized that getting my setup (servers, mods, etc.) working in UT99 is almost trivial!
For the passed year in particular I have been collaborating with the other UDHQ ("Unreal Development Headquarters") members on a meta-gametype called "JGrass." I could go on a lengthy discussion about what it is (which I have all over the net
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
What this means today:
I've got a JGrass w/ classic Unreal 1 style coop & "level based security" (not really relevant to this discussion) running right now, 24/7! I've played a bit on it and have noted some odd bugs that I will fix in time, but have encountered nothing critical (includes: can't use UT99 weapons, some deathmessages incorrectly formatted...). The UT99 server is linked to the Unreal 1 servers by "ChatLink" so you can chat with anyone in any other server as if they were in the same server as you.
The UDHQ server has always been a hotspot for development and collaboration. We love to "Go Where No PlayerPawn Has Gone Before" and well beyond that, and have some of the most unique (and sometimes unstable

We're kind of in a spot where developing on Unreal 1 isn't reaching as many users as we'd like it to; the game's online playerbase has dwindled to <10 players on at any given time, often flatlining at 0. While we're still planning to support Unreal 1 we'd really like to reach out to a community that we'd like to benefit and work with in hosting and innovating on the Unreal Engine... in style. The great thing about this is that most content and maps don't need to be converted or touched and in fact the UT99 server is nothing more than a system branch from a shared resources trunk that contains resources from U1 as well as UT99.
So, if you're interested, please feel free to check out the server. The only thing we don't have totally working right now is http redirect, but we're in the process of getting the files uploaded & linked with the server (it's a pretty massive amount of files... in the GB). The download rate will be pretty crummy until we get redirect working.

We've also got a dedicated TS3 server up in case anyone's interested in chatting about this stuff located at "udhq.org". If you're interested in seeing what we're about and what I've done in particular feel free to check out our website (http://udhq.org) as well as my youtube page (http://www.youtube.com/unrealpcube)
Let's keep it Unreal,
