For Unreal Tournament III on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled 'Can someone explain how to install mods?' On Windows UT these should be easy - the UT install associates them with [UT folder] System Setup.exe, so Windows users with a correctly installed copy of UT should be able to just double-click the.umod file and follow the instructions (if asked for your UT folder, always choose the base folder, such as C: UnrealTournament, and not a subfolder like C: UnrealTournament System). UT99.org - Unreal Tournament Community. I got 4.umod files and a.txt telling. Not a folder. How am I supposed to install it, and other.umod files.

So you've downloaded a.umod file (mod, map, mutator, etc.) and you're trying to figure out how to install it into Unreal Tournament (aka UT or UT99). Here are some step-by-step instructions to get you up and running. Information on getting.umod's installed is readily available online, but the information is often scattered a solution at a time. And sometimes the quality of the advice is a bit suspect. Worse, the advice can sometimes be a bit heavy-handed - immediately going straight to more advanced (and complicated) methods. I've tried to make this guide comprehensive (without going overboard) and I've tried to keep the approaches in a sensible order - starting very simply, but eventually advancing to the complicated.

If you see a method listed here that hasn't worked for you or you see a method that has worked for you that isn't here - please comment. I would like to try and keep this guide updated. File Geodatabase Extension there.

Also, while this guide is written specifically for Windows computers, but the advice might be helpful for users of other OS'. Well, we'll start the guide with the easiest method. Save the.umod file somewhere easy to find (like your desktop) B. Double-click the.umod That's it. This should, at least theoretically, install the.umod.

This DOESN'T work for me and from what I've seen online, I'm not alone. If it didn't work, you probably received one of a handfull of 'helpful' messages - generally about Windows not recognizing the.umod format (and asking what program with which Windows should open it). So, if this worked for you - congratulations and game on! But if it didn't, then we'll move on to some more advanced methods. So, you've tried to easy route and had no luck. So onto the next set of approaches.

There is a.umod browser available for download that is supposed to automate the process of installing.umods. I have not tried it personally, as I'm a bit wary of software installs from unknown sources (if anyone can comment on the browser, please feel free).

Details on the program can be found here: The method I personally used is a little manual jumpstarting of the process. It's not as complicated as it looks (especially if you've ever used DOS), but some people might just prefer the browser mentioned above. Determine where on your computer the UT folders are. For me, the folders are located at c: Program Files (x86) Steam SteamApps common Unreal Tournament 2. Copy the.umod file into UT's System directory (for me that's c: Program Files (x86) Steam SteamApps common Unreal Tournament System). Bring up a command prompt.

That can be done several different ways (in order of ease, easy to hard): a. Hold the Windows key on your keyboard and then the r key. This will give you a run box. Type cmd and you'll have your command prompt. Click your Start button. Just above the Start button you will have a box that you can enter text into (depending on your version of Windows it might be labeled as a run box or a search box).

Type cmd and enter. Click your Start button. Click All Programs. Click Accessories. Click Command Prompt. In the command prompt type cd [the location of your UT system folder].

So, again using my location as an example, I would type cd program files (x86) steam steamapps common unreal tournament system 5. In the command prompt type setup install [name of the.umod]. For example, if I were installing the ChaosUT mod I would type setup install chaosut_v1-1_full.umod 6. Follow the prompts in the installer to install the.umod. If during the installation the installer prompts you for a installation location use the main UT folder (again, for me that would be c: Program Files (x86) Steam SteamApps common Unreal Tournament. TIP: If you're going to be installing several.umod's at once, I would recommend copying the address once you've typed it in. You should then be able to paste it on successive installs.
