In case anyone's interested..

I just spotted the thread about running the orginal Unreal using UT, and was surprised nobody mentioned this. For some reason the thread was closed so I'll post it here. It's a mod for UT that allows you to play the original single player game (and all addon maps, etc) using the UT engine. It also allows you to enhance the original game; you can use the UT weapons for example, as well as the S3TC textures from the second CD.

Well, you can use the S3TC textures with the original Unreal engine, too.

Yes, it’s my fault.

True, but I prefer running it under UT myself. You get a lot more features that way, and the updated engine seems to run a lot better on my system. It saves space too since you don't have to have separate copies of each game installed. 😀

Another good site:

I don't play UT. I never really did. Bought it on a whim along with Quake 3 Arena. *shrug* I only ever really played Half-Life online. That I DID play a lot -- S&I, Jailbreak, Counter-Strike, Opera (briefly), Action HL... lots of stuff.

Yes, it’s my fault.

I'm not really into online gaming either; of course my slow 56k connection doesn't help much. I bought UT a while back just to play the new single player mod Operation Na Pali. Found it on eBay for $5 so I figured why not.

The only game I've played online was Elite Force, and only for a few days. My connection is just too slow to enjoy it, and I like a storyline myself anyway. Running around wildly and shooting everything in site gets kind of boring after a while.
