New PATCH: In-Game Settings Menus for UT3Dom

   I am pleased to announce that I have sucessfuly developed a working in-game settings menu for the UT3Dom games. You do not have to replace the stock main menu. Infact, it is all done with only 3 script classes and the rest is in the INI files. And no, you will not have to download a huge file this time! In fact it is just a small patch for the mod (about 65 kb in size).

Source Code is available in a seperate download.

UT3Dom for PS3 Released!

   We are proud to announce the release of UT3Dom for the PS3!  It has everything the PC version has only its for the PS3.  Info for map authors to be released soon. Enjoy!

Why are the updates so big in file size?

   The reason for the large file size you are downloading for the updated version has to do with how the Unreal Engine 3 handles script packages and maps.  In the past mod authors would just need to release a updated conformed script package and existing maps would use the updated package and nothing had to be done to the maps. 
In UE3 map authors now "Cook" their maps for publishing the final map to be released to the public.  When a map is Cooked, all the required script packages are litterly Cooked into the map.  What ever version of the mod the map author has installed at the time of cooking the map, is the version of the mod that will be played, reguardless of what version the player has installed.
I did post on the UT3Mods list about how to properly update a mod, and this is what Epic responded with: Read the rest ...

Version 1.8.1 Released

   This version will be the last version for sometime.  I have released the Uncooked versions of the mod files with this release so that Map authors will not have any issues.  Map authors please read the UTDomHelp file for more info.  There has been a few important things that they need to know on how to sucessfuly cook maps for UT3Dom.
Changes from version 1.8 to 1.8.1

• Fixed issue when playing on a server the Control Point staticmesh would delay from the time a player captures it to when it becomes the mesh for the new controlling team.
• Added better Map author support for Cooking their maps by releasing the Unpublished mod packages.
• Corrected/Updated some info in the UTDomHelp.htm file.

Version 1.8 of UT3Dom is out!

   We have released version 1.8 of UT3Dom.  This updated version contains many needed fixes.  A partial change log:

Changes from version 1.6 to 1.8

• - 0000017: [Gameplay] Map change failing in instant action
• - 0000018: [Gameplay] Map list is blank
• Fixed issue with one player from each team getting points other teammates should be getting. The mod now correctly gives the points to the right players.
• Fixed issue with at changing to the next map it would allways go to CDOM-Contrast
• Fixed issue when trying to join a server, you either receive a error, get kicked back to the main menu, or the game crashes. This was because of the UTMT_Content file and this file has been removed from the mod.
• Fixed issue with Bots not being able to capture control points.
• Fixed issue with the MapList Struct not working correctly.
• Fixed issue with Map authors not being able to cook their maps.
