Notes:
UT/U1->UT2004/UT3:
Install latest Unreal 1 patch from www.oldunreal.com
If the original map is using some custom texture package use the "Add Custom Packages" button to select the custom UTX files that are used in your map.
E.G: CTF-Bedrooms][ in UT99 is using custom package Bedrooms.utx so you will have to add it so the converter can correctly identify and convert textures.

*** KNOWN BUGS/LIMITATIONS ***
-UT2004->UT3 - Some staticmeshes can't be converted. ("ucc batchexport mypackage.usx StaticMesh t3d" cmd bug)
-It will not convert custom scripts/actors
-Can't convert maps using UTF16-LE or UTF16-BE t3d file encoding. Check that mapname doesn't have exotic chars such as {%^,.. but only alphanumeric values (a->z,0->9) then save your map.

absolutely awesome! thanks for this!!

[threeonefive]

thanks !!!!!!!

[theteck]

wow good job man

[fuegerstef]

I just tested it. Works great.

I had the problem of not getting some surfaces to be lit (no matter what I tried) but apart from that it is awesome.

[ShockStorm]

Wow nice tool. I hope someone hosts face-classic instagib CTF on one of their servers. That would be awesome, if even possible.

[ScottUT]

Does that mean we will see CTF-FaceClassic?
Someone get to porting that.
Would also like to see CTF-Avali2k4

[Bret Hart]

Works good except that all the light colors are wrong.

[VACkillers]

i would absolutely LOVE to see some 2k4 ports with the new UT3 textures...

[xtremexp]

Works good except that all the light colors are wrong.

i've fixed it .
Just had bad range conversion of UT2004 Colors.
UT2004 Colors:
HSB: values range: 0->255
UT3 Colors
RGB: values range:0->100

[Bret Hart]

Oh and I just rebuilt, my level is totally unlit, probably because all of the light radius is way off, it's very small.

[SpiderPig]

I just tried to do FaceClassic. Seems theirs no lighting and a few things need to be rebuilt.

[ScottUT]

If someone does do face classic, make sure its named something like FaceClassic04 or something.
A more involved remake will be made for sure.

[Bret Hart]

I just tried to do FaceClassic. Seems theirs no lighting and a few things need to be rebuilt.

There is lighting, it's just the radius of each light needs to be adjusted to UT3's.

[xtremexp]

lightning have now been fixed. Had made some error of range conversion.
About lightning radius in UT3 i would like to know what's the convertion between UT3 units and UT2004 ones so i could change radius value of lights.
1 UT3 Unreal Unit = 1 UT2004 Unreal Unit?
