1. Requirements
================

ChaosUT2 PR2 requires that you have UT2003 installed, with the following 3 additions;

The official v2225 patch
Epic Bonus Pack
Digital Extremes Bonus Pack

Two examples of where you can get those files are;

http://www.planetunreal.com/files/ut2003/



2. UT2MOD Installation
===================

Just run the UT2MOD file and follow the instructions.

Note: You will be prompted during the umod installation as to whether or not you wish to have the Chaos server packages installed for you. These are required if you are planning on running a Chaos server.

Problems during UT2MOD installation
-----------------------------------

- When I double-click the UT2Mod file, nothing happens or Explorer asks which program I want to open it with.

Your .ut2mod file association is probably broken; that is a common problem and nothing to worry about too much. Check http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/wiki/UMOD/Problems for ways to fix the problem.

- I can start the UT2Mod installer, but it keeps complaining that I don't have Unreal Tournament 2003 installed.

Assuming that you do have Unreal Tournament 2003 installed, that's just another common problem with UT2Mods. Make a backup copy of Manifest.ini in your System directory and create a new Manifest.ini with the following lines in it:

[Setup]
MasterProduct=UT2003
Group=UT2003

[UT2003]
Caption=Unreal Tournament 2003
Version=2225

That'll make the UT2Mod installer rightfully believe that you do have Unreal Tournament 2003 installed. Please replace the version number with the version actually installed. After running the game at least once the version can be found in the file UT2003.log in the System directory.



3. Zip Installation
================

Extract all files to the proper folders.

ukx = Animations
ut2 = Maps
ogg = Music
uax = Sounds
ini = System
int = System
u = System
usx = Static Meshes
utx = Textures

--------Zip Install Note 1-----

How To Add The Proxy Announcer to your List of Announcers (The UMODs will add this for you. The zips will NOT!)

Find your [Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings] settings in your ut2003.ini file:

Add this to the end of that setting
PackInfo=(PackageName="AnnouncerProxy.uax",Description="Proxy")

So when your all done it should look like so:

[Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings]
BonusPackInfo[0]=(PackageName="AnnouncerMain.uax",Description="Default")
BonusPackInfo[1]=(PackageName="AnnouncerEvil.uax",Description="Evil")
BonusPackInfo[2]=(PackageName="AnnouncerFemale.uax",Description="Female")
BonusPackInfo[3]=(PackageName="AnnouncerSexy.uax",Description="Aroused")
PackInfo=(PackageName="AnnouncerProxy.uax",Description="Proxy")


--------Zip Install Note 2--------------

The UT2MOD install is the way to go! Please only use the zip install if you know what you are doing!



4. Documentation
=============

Please refer to the documentation pages provided with CUT2 PR2.

To open the CUT2 Docs, open the startme.html in the UT2003/Help/chaosut2/ folder. For additional information, please refer to the proper section of the CUT2 website.



5. MAC USERS
=========

--------new MAC info; with MacSoft patch--------------

Step 1: Be sure you have installed the 2225.1 update! This is an official patch from MacSoft (the company that brought UT2k3 to the mac) and will allow UT2K3 to run under Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. It also offers many UT2k3 speed enhancements. This patch is necessary to resolve rendering issues that prior versions of UT2k3 had with Chaos. For the patch, and more information, go to:

http://www.macsoftgames.com/products/ut ... pport.html


Step 2: Download the zip file of ChaosUT2! You may have noticed that there is a ut2mod installer on the 2nd disc. For your own safety, please ignore its existance. Expand the zip, but leave the folder sitting on the desktop. Locate Unreal Tournament 2003 on your hardrive. Right-click or control-click on the application, and select "Show Package Contents".

Step 3: Open the Chaosut2 folder on your desktop. Simply drag and drop the contents of the chaos folders to their matching "package contents" folders. For example, open the animations folder from your download, highlight all of the files in there, and drag & drop them on the animations folder in the unreal tournament package.

-----older MAC info; w/o MacSoft patch--------------------

There is/was a known MAC bug with fire textures. Epic will fix it soon. In the mean time we need you to add this work around:

1) Make sure you remove your ChaosUT.ini if it exists, this is no longer needed.

2) Open up your UT2003.ini file.

There will be a new entry at or near the end called: [ChaosGames.ChaosUT] (if not, add it).

Then make sure you have

bUseMacWorkAround=true

listed in there, if its not there add it.

That should fix the issue.

8. Bug Reports & Feedback
======================

Yeah, the ut2mod expander for the mac isn't the best. It doesn't make folders so if you want to use it with a mod that makes folders, you are going to have to make those folders first then retry it. Also if something already exists with that name in that specific folder, that file wont be transfered fromt he mod file into the folder so I you have to delete the old version first then retry it again.

*drool*

One thing you guys gotta change in there is this e=getweapon ChaosUT.Ripper
Thru some custom crosshair testing, I discovered it should be this e=getweapon ChaosUT.Cutter

why do you need the digital extremems BP?it only adds maps,and so i didnt install it conserving space,im playin and havent found anything odd,why do i need it?

you need the epic bonus pack, the DE pack is recommended but not required as i remember.

does the map pack #2 include the maps from #1.02 full, or do i need both to get the full set?

Map Pack 1.02 and Map Pack 2 are seperate, and contain different sets of maps. Map Pack 1.02 is mainly focused on DM and KOTH, whilst Map Pack 2 nearly entirely consists of Duel maps.
