(Undo revision 187831 by Expack3 (talk) I never remembered under any circumstances where the GOG.com requirements are preferred over the original ones. I even stated this in the Editing guide.)

It can be found here.

Bonus Content

Fusion Map Pack - Adds 6 multiplayer maps to the game and is the only official bonus content for Unreal.

Graphical Tweaks

The vast majority of graphical tweaks are accomplished by editing the game's .ini configuration files.

D3D10/High Res/Widescreen Fix

Installing the Direct3D 10 renderer allows you to play the game in high-resolution, widescreen, and Direct3D 10. There's also a Direct3D 11 renderer, but currently no significant changes from D3D10 renderer.

High Resolution Textures

Replace the original textures with S3TC Textures and get amazing detail. Do not use these server-side.

Mods

Various modifications, custom content such as characters, maps, plugins, and total-conversion mods can be downloaded and installed for Unreal. Like every game in the Unreal franchise, there's a ton of mods floating around the web on fansites like Oldunreal.

Maps

Maps are custom levels that are created using mod tools or editors.

  • Unreal User Maps is a website hosted by Oldunreal. They host not only maps but the tools you'll need to make them.

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/13250/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (13250) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
