Oldunreal's 227 Patch

This package was created with knowledge and permission of Epic MegaGames, Inc.

If you like this patch you can help me to keep this project alive with a donation, even with very small sums you can help me to improve this patch or to buy new hardware for testing purposes, it allows me to spend more time for development and to pay the website.

This patch was made to offer all Unreal players a new, completely overworked and fixed version for our old "love". Although the main target was bugfixing, many improvements have been made and a lot of additions found their way into this new version. The general gameplay and the game itself was not touched and it should remain 100% compatible to old mods and maps. Also it is still possible to join older servers with this version (as long these servers are not using some kind of anticheat system which doesn't know 227 yet). 227 can be still used as Server for older Clients like 224, 225 and UnrealGold (more details can be found in the WIKI-FAQ).

New renderers like D3D8, D3D9 and a heavily improved OpenGL (all based on UTGLR with permission) and new sounddevices like OpenAL and FMod have been added but the "old" versions like D3D and Glide for graphics and Galaxy for sound have been kept.

Many security fixes have been implemented for both client and server. A new check was built in to detect hacks,bots and other cheats. Details about that can be found in the Oldunreal_227_Admin_Guide

A Linux port has been created supporting software rendering with SDLSoftDrv and hardware accelerated rendering with OpenGL for graphics output. It offers OpenAL and FMOD for sound and music. This version is completely native and supports to run Unreal as client and as server. Although advanced options are not available every setting can be made within the UnrealLinux.ini and Unreal is fully functional. There is no UED port for Linux and there is no UED port planned at the moment, but included UED2 is working with wine. Currently Linux users have to install the basic version and the patch with wine but once installed the game can be started and used completely native. A native Linux installer is maybe available soon but it needs permission from Epic first.

All other additions are optional, don't interfere with the older versions and may or may not be used in future maps and mods. Thats up to the community. All this should ensure that the game stays like we all know it and love it- just "fixed" and for those who want- enhanced.

The current release is 227f. It's a release canditate. Although we worked very hard and fixed everything which was reported it is possible that still some (hopefully minor) problems appear.
227f already left beta stage and can be used for creating mods and maps, but in the contrary to the common opinion the "f" in 227f does not mean "final". Its just a release number like in any previous version before. A final version will be made once we are really sure to have fixed any bug, even the small and this is only possible after 227f is released and tested for some time.

227a,b,c,d and e are the older test releases which still can be found here to help finding and fixing remaining bugs.

Please note that this release does NOT contain the UnrealGold/Unreal Anthology "Return to Napali" extension yet.
The patch can be applied, but after installation the expansion pack does not work anymore!!!
This is temporary during the development phase and the final version will contain all necessary files. 227f is already a release candidate, so the patch for these versions will probably follow soon now.
