You misunderstand, I’m not complaining, I just find the irony beautiful. Besides you are owed the money on a purely ethical standpoint, I’ve used it for quite a bit back in 2003 lifetime.

I just find it horribly amusing that the UDE is released a grand total of one day after I registered WOTgreal.

Then re-install the game so that it knows where to find UT2004. The UDE works on a similar principle: you must have the game installed correctly in at least one place in order for it to work.

From here it should be pretty straight forward, just follow the setup wizard. You should also have the classes already extracted into the UT2004 directory from the zip Steve provided above or the class/package tree will not be created properly. If you did this out of order simply refresh the trees from the UT2004 menu.

Ok, one more question. You say to extract the classes from the scripts.zip file into the UT2004 directory. I did that, and now i have a folder UT2004/scripts3186/ and then a bunch of other folders for the different scripts. But the UDE doesn't load up any classes in the class view on the left. Where should the scripts be located exactly so that I can just do a refresh and they will all show up in the class view?

Thanks, i'm pretty much a newb with unreal
Part of the problem was that for some reason my OS didn't have ut4mod files associated with ut2004/system/setup.exe. They didn't have an association at all, so i had to go in and edit one in. Thanks again...
