UPak in UT?

UT now belongs to the "old" Unreal as well. Supporting it for OpenGL and Sound its time to put up a board now.

UPak in UT?

Post by GreatEmerald »

Is it possible to somehow make UPak maps run on UT like Unreal maps do? I've tried copying all files from my Unreal CD that are not in UT, but I think it needs some editing to know how to use those files! If it is possible to make UPak work, then it would be brilliant and more maps from Unreal RtNP would be available for UT!
So, if you know if it's possible, please post... Any information would be helpful!
And if you have questions, post them too.

Yes, I did. I copied all of the files (without replacing any). UPak.dll is there as well.

It says something like that (hard to copy it from UnrealT, I guess would be easier to do that from UED...):

Code: Select all

Can't find ObjectProperty in file "ObjectProperty Engine.Console.TimeDemo"
Does it make any sence?

no chance this way. Use usaar33's oldskool mod for such things, it has an enhancement to play ugold maps as well in UT.

I can tell you exactly what this means, just like a couple of other coders here, but you would find the explanation boring and complicated ;-) In short, in UT some base classes have been changed so they are not directly compatible with old Unreal classes. That's why more "primitive" mods made for Unreal will work fine in UT, whereas larger ones or more complicated ones usually will not.

In short: YES!

With other mods where sources are fully available I would have said "just try recompiling it in UT", but UPak is a large package with lots of resources and a DLL dependancy. So unless you find a UT specific port or recreation for it, forget it.

Wait a minute, the Arena Mod says that UPak weapons can be in UT, as they are included in the list. And if it's not, how can that be?

If somebody recreated UPak for UT, that's possible, but a shitload of work, maybe a ripoff with questionable legal status, or some hack... dunno, the mod would have to be carefully inspected to yield an answer. It's also possible that at some point UPak --USED TO BE-- compatible to UT, since we know the package has undergone several changes before it was 226b (the Napali map pack for 224/225 contains a UPak that predates 224). But that is all guessworking....

As usually, Google has the answers :)
Here's what I found, might be interesting:
http://www.geocities.com/atifriaz/unreal.htm
They say that they made UPak posible under UT, and I'm now downloading the mod to see if it works. Would be cool to play UPak single player again lol!

EDIT: It works! Almost perfectly! Somehow when I start playing the episode, they give me a black screen, but normal maps do work! And where it says "change Console=UTMenu.UTConsole to Console=UPak.UPakConsole", it's best not to do so, because if you do you will get 2 nasty errors while starting to play as well as old Unreal interface!

Not sure, but with Arena Match you really can do it. Though I think you can.

Goodrail? Never heard of. Doesn't it run after you get the error? I have no idea, if you copied everything it should all be all right.

No, but it is more direct conversion (latest one by Usaar33 which is nowhere to get) and rtnp2ut has too many bugs, which original Upak didn't have.

Actually BeyondUnreal hosts Usaar33's website. It recently fixed the link on its homepage so that it points to the current location: http://astaley.beyondunreal.com/about.html

Of course BeyondUnreal now has its own hosting problems, but it appears as of right now that the Usaar33 site is accessible though it is slow.

Wow, by Usaar? That means I can get UPak singleplay to work if I get the mod. That's why Oldskool has the option for RtNP.
Come on, when will BU get back on?!
