Wow! That is impressive!! Solidsnake, you rule!

I tried launching a game from the server browser with no luck, but you're most likely still working on that. I can't believe just how far you taken this. It's so amazing! Epic should pay you and get this incorporated into the retail version.

Must test this when I have the time..

Looks good, Solid!

Quiclky tested it this morning. Maybe I did something wrong koz I didn't have much time, but many stuff seemed to bug. I couldn't even connect to a server tbh. Also, I couldn't sort servers... So I won't use it for now.
Thank you for your hard work though.

Great work Snake. Really enjoying this one.

could u make it supports "-nohomedir" and "-login and -password" parameters ?

If you can't find any servers, you will need to first log in to your online profile. If you cannot connect to a game (it boots you out as soon as you try to connect), then you may need to check your CD Key settings as described in the readme.

Also, I couldn't sort servers... So I won't use it for now.

Yes, the server browser was about a days work, so it definately needs more fine tuning.

Please report bugs to me as I won't know exactly what you are experiencing, so I won't know what to fix.

It should support -nohomedir as that just tells Unreal Tournament 3 not to look in the My Documents folder for content as I use it myself. As for -login and -password, I will look into it.

Snake, you are a god among men. Epic needs to hire you, badly.

It seems like it halfway supports "-nohomedir". At least for me the most recent build of UWindow 2 shows custom maps, but it doesn't show any custom gametypes, the maps that go with them, or any custom mutators. Not sure why.

Also, it would be cool if the "-nostartupmovies" parameter was supported, and +1 for "-login=" and "-password=".

If it matters, I used the zip version of build 260608.

-nostartupmovies

This is supported. You just need to add this parameter to the short cut link provided. I use this myself.

[Solid Snake]

Thanks for the support!

We have opened up our Mantis project management page for the public here: http://www.digitalconfectioners.com/mantis/

The UWindow2 project is open to the public, so if you have any bugs, features or other issues to log then please do so here.

[FNClassy]

This is supported. You just need to add this parameter to the short cut link provided. I use this myself.

"C:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Play Unreal Tournament 3 - UWindow2.bat" -nohomedir -nostartupmovies

That's my shortcut target. All the startup movies run, and as stated in my last post, none of my custom gametypes or mutators show.

Other than those two little problems I love UWindow 2. It's a bajillion times better than the stock UT3 menu system.

WOW. Real scrollbars. Real resizable windows. Real situational awareness. Real PC.
Slap in the "hide full servers/hide empty servers", make the list content sortable for ping, and you HAVE TO win something in that weird contest which is coming up.
A preemptive: THANK YOU!!

"C:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Play Unreal Tournament 3 - UWindow2.bat" -nohomedir -nostartupmovies

Create your short cut like this...

"C:\Program Files\Unreal Tournament 3\Binaries\UT3.exe" -nohomedir -nomoviestartup -configsubdir=UWindow

[FNClassy]

The startup movies stopped with that shortcut, but I still get no custom gametypes or mutators in the practice session screen. I also tried using the installer to setup UWindow2, but the same problem persists.

[Solid Snake]

I will look into the custom gametype and custom mutators for the next build.
