OldUnreal (Engine)

The Skaarj are pretty good so far, just i see a disturbing lack of nippular appendages! What were you thinking, Unreal can't survive another nipple famine like we had in 2002!

UT99 is my engine of choice, so I will create all the skins for UT99 first before making them work in 227.  I may need help with 227 later, but for now, I just want to finish all the skins.

UT99 and U226 supporting DXT1. DXT1 may have one invisible color like masked textures. DXT1 can create through Paint.NET, then import the resulting dds-file into utx by means of U227 editor.

The question is, how can I edit UT99's UnrealShare and UnrealI packages using the 227 editor?

Nohow. It is necessary to create a separate packet for textures.

Obviously, it breaks any anticheat and you will get autokicked for modified packages.

Is there a reason why Ravens GUI is no use here ?

Higor made UCC2
eGo made UCC helper.

Between all these massive brains can we not have a UCC tool that does all we need ?

I've made a texture merger that will merge new textures into existing packages, but the tool doesn't work for UT99, only U1/227. I don't actually know why. It just arbitrarily fails where U1 just works normally.

Maybe create a mutator that replaces the textures?

If someone else wants to whip up a mutator that does this, it might be a good idea to avoid package mismatches (and it would allow me to focus on skinning, since I am not very good at scripting).

I am going to implement it as follows:

Code: Select all

function bool CheckReplacement(Actor Other, out byte bSuperRelevant)
{
      if (Other.IsA('IceSkaarj'))
            IceSkaarj(Other).Skin = texture(DynamicLoadObject("HDSkins_tex.IceSkaarjHD", Class'Texture'));

      else if (Other.IsA('Pupae'))
            Pupae(Other).MultiSkins[1] = texture(DynamicLoadObject("HDSkins_tex.PupaeHD", Class'Texture'));

      else if (Other.IsA('Krall'))
            Krall(Other).Skin = texture(DynamicLoadObject("HDSkins_tex.KrallHD", Class'Texture'));

      

      return true;
}

}

switch ( Other.Class.Name )
{
  case 'IceSkaarj': /* ^.^ */ break;
