[b]WELCOME[/b]

Hi, and welcome to the Unreal Tournament 2003/2004 Programming forums. First time users, please read this post, it'll tell you how to Ask Questions The Smart Way and How To Get Started With Unrealscript.

Thank you in advance.

[b]How To Ask Questions The Smart Way[/b]

When you run into a problem with Unrealscript, and you can't solve it by:
[list]
[*]Searching the web (using [URL=http://www.google.com]Google[/URL], for example),
[*]Searching on forums, both [URL=http://forums.beyondunreal.com/] the Beyond Unreal Forums[/URL] and [URL=http://www.ina-community.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=269]These forums[/URL],
[*]Searching in the [URL=http://wiki.beyondunreal.com]Unreal Wiki[/URL],
[*]Searching the [URL=http://udn.epicgames.com/Two/WebHome]UDN (Unreal Developer Network)[/URL], 
[*]Looking/searching through the existing UT code,
[*]Thinking long and hard about the problem,
[/list]

you might want to post a topic about your problem here. When doing so, make sure that you state:
[list]
[*]Which 'flavour' of UT you are working on (either 99, 2003 or 2004) 
[*]As much detail about your problem as possible 
[*]Some code snipets/error messages relating to your problem 
[*]Methods or ways you've tried to solve your problem
[*]Use a clear, comprehensive title for your topic. "[i]I NEED HELP!!!!11one[/i]" I likely to get you flamed, while "[i]Can the TakeDamage event be overloaded?[/i]" shows everyone what your topic is about. 
[/list] 

Make sure your posts are readable (or: posting etiquette). 
[list]
[*]Don't post in ALL CAPS, this is the online equivalent of shouting and is considered very rude. 
[*]Mind your grammar and spelling. People will be more inclined to help if your post is easy to read.
[*]Do not blame others for your problem.
[*]Do not bump your topic, and do not post whining posts about not getting help. These forums are active enough, if people don't post a solution in your topic it's most likely that they don't have the solution either.
[*]Do not expect people to give you the solution. They will most likely give you tips where to look, or what to do, but not a ready-to-use solution.
[*]If you do find a solution (yourself), post that too, so that people who have the same problem later can find a solution in your thread.
[/list]

[b]How To Get Started With Unrealscript[/b]

We get a lot of threads with people asking how to start with Unrealscript (UC), which is why we made the following guide for new scripters.

[list]
[*][URL=http://download.beyondunreal.com/fileworks.php/official/ut2004/editing/ut2004scripts3323.zip]Download[/URL] the latest official UT2004 source (linked version is 3323), and extract it to your UT2004 Basefolder (i.e. C:\UT2004). Make sure your UT2004 is always patched to the latest official patch, same goes for your source files.
[*]Download Epics [URL=http://unreal.epicgames.com/Files/UDE3005.zip]UDE[/URL]. This is a good editor for UnrealScript. You can ofcourse use other tools such as WOTGreal or even just Notepad.
[*]Go through the [URL=http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/wiki/UnrealScript_Lessons]tutorials[/URL] on  the [URL=http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/]Unreal Wiki[/URL]. This wiki also has a lot of other interesting information and documentation concerning Unreal Technology. We advise to look at [URL=http://sv1.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/unr_main.php]3DBuzz's Mastering Unreal[/URL] as well.
[/list] 

If you run into a problem you can post it here following the above posting rules.

[b]IMPORTANT[/b]: Never EVER modify, or even try to modify, the existing code from UT(200x). If you do this, you'll have to reinstall the game.
