Hi to everyone from Spain,
Sorry if this a foolish question, but sometime ago i heard that ut2k3 mods, maps etc, will be compatible with ut2k4 if this true?

Maps will be compatible. So will skins. Models will probably need new animations, and most mutators/mods will need to be updated slightly to work right.

Yea, a lot of things are going to need an update
Netcode changed
Core Code changed
I think that Static mesh handling changed a bit, but they said maps would only need to be opened in 2k4's UEd and re-saved to fix any potential issues

If maps aren't resaved, it only means slightly longer loading.
Not much needs changing for mods and mutators - weapons need editing, HUD and GUI's need to be reworked.

It's mostly just going to add alot of potential to what modders can do.

Thanks folks, it would be a shame dump all those beautiful maps, and of course that amazing Chaos UT mod (best mod ever).
Adios.
