ok mates i did thoses little tutos on others forums; i compiled them in 1 post; u ll find some tips & links to install the game and to make it more UT2k4ish..lol^^:
GAME INSTALLATION
UT3 was 5 times updated and here is the patch/version listing:
UT3original V 1.0 patch 1 to V 1.1 patch 2 to V 1.2 patch 3 to V 1.3 patch 4 to V 2.0 patch 5 to V 2.1
actually you have to install the patch 5to update your game; it include all the changes from the previous versions.
here is the link; to install it just open the program after dowloading it :
to improove the game several mutators have been created; some essentials like "dodge-jump mutator" or "UT comp" which allow you to customise your crosshairs
to install custom mutators:
-unzipp the mutator file
- add all the files in their places following the instructions in the "read me" file
-most of time:* to documents/my games/ut3/utgame/config * to documents/my games/ut3/UTGame/Published/CookedPC/Script(U file) *to Documents/MyGames/UT3/UTGame/Published/CookedPC( the file with the name of the mutator.. generaly UPK & and more rarely U files)
-create all folders that dont exist
CUSTOM MAPS INSTALLATION:
if u plan to add custom maps to your game here is what you will have to do:
1)open your "User"/Documents/My Games/Unreal Tournament 3/ UTGame/
2)create a new folder and name it "published"
3)open your "Unpublished" folder
4)in "Unpublished" you have one folder:"CookedPC" ; copy it
5)open your "Published" folder and paste "CookedPC" there
6)open your ""User"/Documents/My Games/Unreal Tournament 3/ UTGame/Published/CookedPC/Custom Maps" folder. it's here that you will have to add the custom maps folders.
7)UT3 custom maps habitually are zipped; use Winzip;Winrar or 7z programms to unzip them
8)after unzipping the UT3 zipped file you will have 1;2;3 or 4 files :UT3;UPK&ini; add them in your custom maps folder
add UT comp & Dodge-jump mutator; find a good old custom map and have fun :-p
