Hey DaZ. Still going to finish the video playthrough? I'm looking forward to part 9. :) 

slight setback as I accidentally deleted all the raw footage for part 9 before encoding it :P

Just re-recorded it, so will be putting it up later today. 

so is the nali guy supposed to get crushed by that rolling pillar? cause that guy was a total dick and tricked daz into getting crushed too. :P 

on further thought, someone should make a map with a dozen nali dudes who lead the player into instant death traps all the time. ^_^ 

Yeah, scumbag nali! Or however the meme goes :)

I did laugh out loud when it happened, so glad I caught it on film. Part 9 should be up in a few minutes, god damn my upload speed is awful :( 

I never trust 'em. Falling bridges, ambushes and rolling pillars of death. I figure, what the hell, I'm a friggin' convict anyway. Kill 'em all and let their gods sort it out at their end... 

i usually did that by accident... apparently, my trigger finger is rather itchy. :P

these videos kind of make me pissed i don't have ut to play this though. i've heard so much about this, but could never run it! the pack looks fantastic. 

I have Oldskool installed already, do I still need to install Oldmodels? Will installing oldmodels cause any conflicts with custom UT player models? 

Yes, you need the oldmodels installed. They are designed to work alongside the UT models, so no, you won't have any conflicts. They are simply addition models to the game. 

Nitin, just make sure to follow the instructions closely in the readme file on how to install. There are very specific instructions, and you can mess things up if you don't install it right. If installed right, there should be no conflicts whatsoever in your UT folder. This mod is an add-on, and doesn't not replace anything in UT. 

Yep I'll play it sometime and do a review of it. I need to get UT first though - what's the UT GOTY 2011 Edition like? It's on pirate bay so I might get that.

Are there any high def packs for UT now that'll improve the looks a bit? 

That's what I have (it came with Unreal Gold, which I purchased years ago). I still patched it up to the latest version (1.46 I think) before I installed this mod just to be on the safe side. The patch is small and took longer to install than it did to download. 

Hey Kona, there are better textures out for UT now. Visit this site here:
http://www.uttexture.com/UT/Website/Downloads/Textures/Textures.htm
On the left bar, choose the quality you want. I personally chose high-end, because extreme-end doesn't look much different and takes up a lot of memory. After you click on the quality, go to "Master Files" on the left side. There are about 5-6 large packs you will need. These make the game look a lot better! You will also need the new incredibly awesome OpenGL or D3D9 drivers here for them to work:

Personally, I think the UTGOTY edition is a joke. It includes some user-made mods (like ChaosUT) that I don't even care about. I like the original edition of UT, because it doesn't have useless mods that could possibly conflict with other mods. All the stuff I actually care about, like player models, maps, etc. come with the original edition. 

I watched part 9 of your videos, DaZ. I laughed pretty hard at 13:40. I've never seen a Skaarj get caught in an elevator like that. I'll make a mental note of that bug for a possible future update. I also laughed at your invisibility tip during the last boss fight. On a side note, I wonder why on earth the Nali Fruit Seeds sometimes don't work for you? I've never once seen that bug, and nobody else has mentioned it before, either. There is not supposed to be a limit to how many you can use. Strange... 

Sweet, I love high res textures! Do I need all of these packs though? http://www.uttexture.com/UT/Website/Downloads/Textures/ExtremeEnd/StockUT/UTExtremeEnd.htm (I went for extreme yay!) 

If you want the Extreme End textures, then yes. They are separate downloads, because some of them are nearly 1GB! If it was just one file, you would be downloading 5GB in one go. That's why I personally got the high-end textures. The high-end are only about 6 downloads (instead of 20), and they look almost identical. The Extreme end really ARE extreme. They are HUGE! Overkill, in my opinion. I can't tell any difference once they get larger than he high-end. 

because most the time high res replacements totally break the look of the original game. 

I will second the pimping of the opengl drivers linked to above, have used them for years without any hiccups. 

5gb holy crap I'll get the high-end instead in that case. New Zealand doesn't have good enough internet packages to waste 5gb on some textures. 

yeah Im amazed that texture site has precisely zero screenshots of what the textures actually look like inside the game! I'll pass on them for that reason alone, 99% of these "texture upgrade" packages, regardless of the game, either look like utter garbage or break the visual aesthetic that I enjoy :P

Lightning_Hunter, no idea about the seeds still, I've given up trying to use them for now :) I also realised that I have a stockpile of powerups that I should really be using :) Though, it helps to use them at the right time! 

Probably unnecessary overkill like that Rygel pack for Q1. Follows the noob line of thinking "bigger=better", but in reality the visual difference to downscaled versions is hardly recognizable while the impact on performance is considerable. 

I'll post some screenshots of the pack later today. I download high-res textures for all the old games (Quake, Doom, Duke3d, Heretic, Hexen, Unreal, etc.), and I'm also picky about how faithful they look. You guys will not regret downloading these. The author, known as "DieHardSCWS" has done an incredible job. He's worked on them for like 8 years or something.

Negke, I agree with you that extremely large textures don't make any difference. However, this author at least gave us 4 different choices for the quality. Extreme-end is for those who like overkill, I guess. High-end is much more practical. 

Why would you ever... 

Not all Unreal Tournament maps are low-poly. In fact, some of them are comparable to modern game maps. High-res textures look beautiful in Unreal Tournament. This isn't Doom we are talking about here...
