It's been quite a while since oldunreal had an overhaul, but we are moving to another server which require some updates and changes. The biggest change is the migration of our old reliable YaBB forum to phpBB. This system expects you to login with your username and old password known from YaBB.
If you experience any problems there is also the usual "password forgotten" function. Don't forget to clear your browser cache!

Old Unreal Special Icon for Servers
Here's a special server system tray icon reflecting Old Unreal colors. Just replace the window.dll in system folder. Enjoy! This is for 227f only.

Re: Old Unreal Special Icon for Servers
This can also be used to differentiate servers in different installs
..\CoopSystem {with oldunreal green}
..\DMSystem {without}
in systray there will be the oldunreal green and normal unreal colors, that way administrating a server is just that much easier

Re: Old Unreal Special Icon for Servers
Yes very handy for multiple servers. Here's another one with the black background masked. Once again 227f only.

Maybe I'll put up some 225 versions later.

How are you able to do this Pitbull? I'd like to change the Unreal Icon for my various installs...

Look up the program Resource Hacker. It can extract or inject embedded resources into executables and DLLs.

I get the feeling this is what people did to "Vista patch" tribes.exe so that it would run on Vista properly, and also have 1680x1050 and a ton of other crap...Look up the program Resource Hacker. It can extract or inject embedded resources into executables and DLLs.

Never heard of that. Anyway these icons are ment for servers only. If you use them as client Unreal Integrity will surely kick you. ::)

Here's an example of what Kasey is talking about. Multiple servers with matching batch file icons.

Re: Old Unreal Special Icon for Servers
Hmm, why not add an option for using custom icons into Unreal.exe itself? Like, unreal -server -icon=MyIcon.ico

*Hyper.nl mumbles something about CRC check failed on Window.dll when playing online at servers with package verification on. (May cause false alarms of anti-cheat software.)

Yes your right. I mentioned these were for servers only. Do not install these on your client. I haven't run into any problems on the servers they were installed on. Maybe some other checkers may cause problems. Whitelist the file on server if you want to use it. Assuming it would cause problems of course.

Re: Old Unreal Special Icon for Servers
God I love messing with icons!
IcoFX is pretty good at it.
Btw don't use ResHacker. It's spyware as far as I'm concerned. Tries to connect to some "customer server" in Germany... Very weird... At least it's not a virus, so if you're gonna use it, just block its Internet access.

Re: Old Unreal Special Icon for Servers
You -may- still need to enter the MD5 checksums of the ORIGINAL file into the package whitelist of the server then. Should a (non-modified client) load Window.DLL the server cannot verify it...Look up the program Resource Hacker. It can extract or inject embedded resources into executables and DLLs.

Re: Old Unreal Special Icon for Servers
Some servers might compare the clients CRC checks with the files on the server. This will result in a CRC mismatch and possibly a client kick as the result. I won't take the chance just for an icon.*Hyper.nl mumbles something about CRC check failed on Window.dll when playing online at servers with package verification on.
