NOTE: Install instructions vary slightly from version to version, if you already DOWNLOADED a complete zip distribution file, please look into its own manual for installation instructions rather than here!
From the 'Basic_Install' directory,
copy all
files and
files to your
directory. The
files go to your
directory.
Some more absolutely needed u-files are in further subdirectories from 'Basic_Install'. Unreal One admins go into the subdirectory 'Unreal' and copy those files as well, Unreal Tournament admins take those under 'Unreal Tournament' and NOT the ones inside 'Unreal'.
Append this in the
section
:
ServerPackages=UTF_Resources ServerPackages=UTeamFix ServerPackages=UTF_CustomProjectiles ServerPackages=UTF_Items ServerPackages=UTF_GUI ServerPackages=UTF_Pawns
Unreal Tournament admins, who intend to use the 'UT Mode' of the UTF-UT mutator also must add:
ServerPackages=Male1Skins ServerPackages=Male2Skins ServerPackages=Male3Skins ServerPackages=Female1Skins ServerPackages=Female2Skins ServerPackages=SkTrooperSkins ServerPackages=UTF_UT_Items
Note that these packages (except for the last one 'UTF_UT_Items') are default Unreal One packages that are normally already in the list on Unreal servers. In UT, they are NOT as they are strangely never really used - but installed nevertheless by UT.
Domination has changed a bit! Since UTF-Alpha 5, a new mesh has been introduced for the Domination points, so they look like an X rather than some kind of portal. Since that change, all Domination point Z-Coordinates have to be corrected by +20. Please check if you have self-made Domination configurations which were made with UTF-Alpha 4 or earlier. If so, take notepad and adjust the coordinates in UnrealDomination.ini.
UTF has grown to be modular, the above packages are the minimal
requirement to run it, but you may find some additional features to be
helpful or game enhancing to you if you install a few more
To make use of the SkaarjSkins and the Alternate Human Skinpack, add these lines too:
ServerPackages=SKTrooperTeam ServerPackages=UTeamSkins
Due to the optional nature of these packages, especially low-bandwidth servers may prefer to work without these. If you do not install the Skaarj package, I strongly suggest you set "bHumansOnly" to true in the advanced options.
However, if you want to allow Skaarj players in your coop/teamgames, you will need to install the SKTrooperTeam skins, because if not, all Skaarj players will use a default skin by which you cannot tell which team they are on!! To allow Skaarj players, you must set "bHumansOnly" in the advanced preferences for the game mode to "false".
The Alternate Human Skinpack contains skins which are better to see than the normal teamskins. If you install them you also have to set "AlternateHumanSkins" to "True" in the advanced options of the new fixed Teamgame game mode.
To install a game-bridge, see the Game Bridge topic (left hand main menu).
This zip-file includes files from other authors of mods which UTF supports. Some admins who install a mod sometimes tend to forget the one or the other, typically small texture files or files that are only needed in specific gamemodes. This zipfile includes some of them for convenience, in case you need them and can't find them on your local installation.
Don't bother opening that zipfile unless you find yourself missing a file!
The amount of interoperability testing that could have been performed was of course, limited. A few interesting things turned up during the course of testing.
There should be few interoperability problems, here are some noteworthy details though:
Unfortunately for UT, UTF is not a UT99 native mod. Thus it is naturally prone to have more problems overall with it...
