PATCHES
You will need to upgrade your basic installation with the final official v226 patch.
https://liandri.beyondunreal.com/Unreal#Essential_Files
https://www.oldunreal.com/officialpatches.html
http://www.hypercoop.tk/files-patches.htm
Then you will need the current v227 patch from OldUnreal to enjoy modern graphics and audio.
This patch includes an updated and superior version of UEd 2.

Also in production are HD Weapons for 227 by Shivaxi.
Shivaxi is also making a much better blood and gore system - Ballistic Blood for 227

Still in the early stages is, Unreal: Enhanced Edition - A project converting the original maps with new (227) features. - OldUnreal Thread

Some useful "Game-Types"
Real-CTF - Catch The Flag - FORUM - MAPS

ALTERNATIVE INSTALLATION

Got Unreal Tournament and Unreal ?
If you install a few extras, you can play most standard UT99 maps in Unreal.
UPDATE - Dots has collected the necessary addons and updates into a single resource. Visit www.oldunreal.com for downloads help and compatibility info on various mappacks.
Shivax's alternative Botpack
Further Instructions have been added to the bottom of this page.

If you only want the pickups, then you can get them as separate packages.
UTWeapons, UTInventory, and UTRelics by .:..: (Dots)
I have made "INT" config files for these, so the mutators show-up like they do in UT (link below).

ALTERNATIVE INSTALLATION

Got Unreal and Unreal Tournament ?
If you install "Oldskool Amp'd" for UT99, you can copy the maps and music from the CD to the UT folders (or point UT at Unreal), and play original Unreal and maps in UT with alternative weapons, mutators, and ENB Bloom etc.

UT Install for Unreal
.:..:
Step 1: Install Unreal 227i.
Step 2: Download BotPack compiled for 227: http://www.klankaos.com/downloads/BotPack.rar or http://shivaxi.com/unreal/downloads/BotPack%20Shiv.zip
- For multiplayer online compatibility you also should download update version of the voicepacks (which are marked as downloadable for other clients): http://www.klankaos.com/downloads/BotPackVoices.rar
Step 3: Link paths to UT folders by editing Unreal.ini and add the lines to point to your UT directory):

Code: Select all

Paths=..\System\*.u
Paths=..\Maps\*.unr
Paths=..\Maps\UPak\*.unr
Paths=..\Textures\*.utx
Paths=..\Sounds\*.uax
Paths=..\Music\*.umx
Paths=..\Meshes\*.usm
;Paths=D:\UnrealTournament\System\*.u
Paths=D:\UnrealTournament\Maps\*.unr
Paths=D:\UnrealTournament\Textures\*.utx
Paths=D:\UnrealTournament\Sounds\*.uax
Paths=D:\UnrealTournament\Music\*.umx

Step 4: Download OldSkool for Unreal 227: http://www.klankaos.com/downloads/UOldSkool.rar (this helps with compatibility)
Now you are ready to play some UT in Unreal.

Note: The engine will look in the folders in that order. I keep the UT system folder available for testing but disabled, to avoid the engine trying to load something it cannot.
The UnrealTournament.ini is setup to mirror the Unreal.ini

Code: Select all

Paths=../System/*.u
Paths=../System/Botz/*.u
Paths=../Maps/*.unr
Paths=../Textures/*.utx
Paths=../Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../Music/*.umx
;Paths=C:\Unreal\System\*.u
Paths=C:\Unreal\Maps\*.unr
Paths=C:\Unreal\Maps\UPak\*.unr
Paths=C:\Unreal\Textures\*.utx
Paths=C:\Unreal\Sounds\*.uax
Paths=C:\Unreal\Music\*.umx
Paths=C:\Unreal\Meshes\*.usm

Both UEds will now load most maps from each-others installations, without duplicating lots of files.

Sticky!
Thank you Doctor.

I don't know what version of unreal I have but this thread will come in handy.

[AlCapowned]

Very nice tutorial, thanks!

[Dr.Flay]

BTW. They both list each-others maps, and as long as the Unreal maps are all prefixed as DM** (not DM-**) you can easily tell them apart. The UT maps get listed first.
When I first started porting them back and forth, I decided I did not want more duplication, as I also have a separate UEd install.
So the ini for that standalone is edited to see both UT and Unreal

Spoiler

Code: Select all

Paths=../System/*.u
Paths=../Maps/*.unr
Paths=../Textures/*.utx
Paths=../Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../Music/*.umx
Paths=D:\UnrealTournament\System\*.u
Paths=D:\UnrealTournament\Maps\*.unr
Paths=D:\UnrealTournament\Textures\*.utx
Paths=D:\UnrealTournament\Sounds\*.uax
Paths=D:\UnrealTournament\Music\*.umx
Paths=C:\Unreal\System\*.u
Paths=C:\Unreal\Maps\*.unr
Paths=C:\Unreal\Maps\UPak\*.unr
Paths=C:\Unreal\Textures\*.utx
Paths=C:\Unreal\Sounds\*.uax
Paths=C:\Unreal\Music\*.umx
Paths=C:\Unreal\Meshes\*.usm

Note: this method can be very useful to keep your development stuff out of your game folder.

Spoiler

Code: Select all

Paths=../System/*.u
Paths=../Maps/*.unr
Paths=../Textures/*.utx
Paths=../Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../Music/*.umx
Paths=D:\UT99dev\Maps\*.unr
Paths=D:\Udev\Textures\*.utx
Paths=D:\Backup\Textures\*.utx

As long as any custom resource is compatible (most pawns, all decos) or has versions for both games (NBSpecials, Infiltration, UTeamFix, etc.), you can now play or edit in either.

Oh, Due to Unreal now having access to a Botpack, standard UT models and skins can be used without changing the bot branch

about Oldskool Amp'd for ut99. I did everything as written above, but I can't play. the font in the translator and other messages on a large monitor is very small. I can't read anything

Can someone make a fix for Oldskool Amp'd ? for example, to add the guiscale variable for messages. and the player will set up everything, as he needs .

You could try this viewtopic.php?f=7&t=14488#p127670 - it puts the translator messages on the screen (rather than in the translator) and the text is somewhat larger - it works OK in Oldskool.

You can increase the size of on-screen text in 469b but I don't know if the text size of the messages from this version of the translator is increased.

Thanks! I hope this helps. I really want to play the original Unreal in my native language in the game UT99

why this mutator dont works with SP? Please write. what i need to do to make the program work. I read the help, but there is no complete information, the help did not help

Yeah, sorry about that - I thought the text size was increased in Oldskool but I see that it isn't. The other thing you can try is to open the system console as the translator messages are printed there and the text is larger and easier to read.
