Can Unreal 1 maps be used in Unreal Tournament?

Post by CAP811 »

If anyone would know, it's you guys here.

I'm trying to put together a server running themed maps (holiday and real world maps). I found an awesome Christmas map on Jeff Martin's site called And To All a Good Night. Unfortunately it doesn't want to run in UT :'( -- UT gives me an error message mentioning that it can't find a package (the package in question seems to have the same name as the map itself, so I'm wondering if there is just a fundamental incompatibility between Unreal and UT maps). Now this may be a total "uh, duh?" question but can Unreal maps be somehow made compatible with UT? I'm still coming up to speed on all this!

Thanks.

Unreal maps always run on UT, unless it's from Return to Na Pali. Your problem described there is quite odd actually... You probably are missing some required files - .U, .UMX, .UTX or such.

OK that's great news...I'll check to see what I may have done wrong. Apart from looking at the log files, which didn't tell me too much, is there a way to find more info on what package is causing the map to hiccup? Thanks again!

1. Copy all Unreal maps to UT maps
2. Copy all Unreal music to UT music
3. Then type this in the console:

open nyleve?game=unrealshare.coopgame

Voíla!
