Make Something Unreal Submission:

-

Phase 1: Best Tool

Cache convertor: as of V5.0

Yes its been long awaited, and long over due. the ability to convert those maps you have downloaded from servers upon joining in to playable maps you can host and enjoy. Im not entirely confident with the stability of the mutator cache converting so that feature is disabled for the time being. never the less you can convert any maps.

Dedicated server configuration: as of V5.0 ON HOLD

if you run a dedicated server, you will now the burdensome task of preparing the long command lines to add to the games extension. Using the interface for dedicated server management, you can configure the majority of the settings stored in the ini files, eliminating the need for those lengthly commands. upon clicking generate, the short command left over which contains information such as the admin username and password is displayed to you ready to be used with the games .exe

Manual installation of maps and mutators INSTALL FROM ZIP FILES!!!: as of V5.0

This has been drastically revised. why? well its looked terrible for a start all crammed together. now the dump folder contains two folders. one called maps, and one called mutators. before you had to unzip the files in to the dump folder making sure you do not put any folders inside there. Well good news! UT3T now knows what a zip file is! you can simply download your maps and mutators as zip files in to the corresponding dump folder and click install. Thats it! no more do you have to extract the zip files. the tweaker does it for you, and naturally then installs them for you.

Custom Cross hairs!: as of V5.0

now you have the option to change the crosshairs for each of the weapons independantly, and the colour globally

Auto Update: as of V5.0

When a new update is available. this green button will appear on the tweaker. By clicking you will be connected to my server and it will update the UT3 Tweaker to the latest version

Help archives: as of V5.0

With Ultrons consent, i have added Ultrons Tweak Guide to the Tweaker

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bugs squashed

Screenshot Manager: as of V5.0

The bug where some people could not see their screenshots in the screenshot manager has now been resolved

stuck in a loop: as of V5.0

some people were getting stuck in a loop when trying to alter the gore level, or changing the port number server setting. This has been resolved

could not load directory mutator/news: as of V5.0

you may have noticed that if you were to click on a news article while browsing mutators you would receive an error. this has been resolved

manual installed maps not adding to uninstall list: as of V5.0

fixed

4.0->4.1

issues fixed and download updated for:

not being able to display screenshots

ut3config.txt error message

unlock all chars not unlocking.

News bulletins: as of V4.0

---------------

This is what you are reading. When you either click the news button, or when you browse for mutators & maps, the news bulletin will update from my server displaying any relevant information to you. Such as bugs discovered, workarounds, and information on new releases being designed and released.

Screenshot Manager as of V4.0

------------------

Now you have even more flexibility using this application. I am steering away of making this application solely for tweaking, and will be encapsulating a wider scope of features so it appeals to all. With the screenshot manager you can easily browse through all of the screenshots you have taken ingame, and you are given the option to upload them to a file server so you can display them on forums and websites. You have the option to delete the ones what your not so keen on, and of course the option to save them to JPEG, oppose to the default BMP which the game takes.

M&M Maps and Mutators Installer as of V4.0

-------------------------------

Some of you may have used the M&M which i released not so long ago. This was a field test to see how the system operates in the real world. and to see just how popular it would be. Im pleased to say its popular, with other 500 connections per day, and no doubt will continue to grow with the release of this version.

M&M Grants you the ability to connect to my server and browse for maps and mutators. by clicking on a Map or mutator in the list, the readme file for the map will load, along with a screenshot. Screenshots to slow down the loadtime by a second or so, so i have given you the option to turn off the screenshots for faster viewing, if you know what your looking for.

Glossary Button as of V4.0

---------------

Has now become the help button. By Clicking this you will not only see the definition of the tweaks, you will also see the instructions for the application.

CrossHair control. as of V4.0

------------------

I know many of you have been waiting for custom crosshairs, however im not happy to give you this feature yet. it feels buggy, and unreliable. im not in the habit of giving out things i dont trust, the last thing i want to do is make a mess of your ini files. for now i have disabled the custom crosshair controls, but you may still use the page to change the colour of your crosshairs.

Exit,Save , Save and exit: as of V4.0

--------------------------

Some users have requested greater control on saving and exiting, so i have added two new buttons so you can save periodically.

Unlock Body parts: as of V4.0

------------------

This unlocks a few factions from the game and grants you the ability to mix and match their body parts while designing your character. please note you are advised not to mix body parts from the robots with humans, or Krall with the humans as they use a different animation skeleton and they might look a little bit funny ingame. incase your wondering, yes they do showup online and others will be able to see them.

in future releases you will be given even more body parts to play around with.

Various bug fixes with regards to M&M

Enhanced Graphics controls

Greater Control over the graphics tweaks has been added, allowing you to tick to enable or disable individual settings which are relevant to the Graphics.

Glossary

Whats the point of trying to tweak if you do not understand what the values mean? we at Biopaparat appreciate it can be a little daunting at first, which is why we have included a Glossary to explain what the graphics tweaks do.

World Detail slider bar decreasing no more!

We found the bug which was causing the world detail bar to decrease in game. this has now been ammended so please feel free to apply "Max Graphics settings" without effecting the World Detail.

The Application also detects your current settings.

somthing of which was causing confusion in version 3.0. before you would make changes, save them and close the program, and when you relaunched the application, they would no loinger be ticked, even though the changes were still applied. With the release of Version 3.5 it will detect all of your settings, including the colour of your crosshairs for example, and adjust the GUI of the application accordingly

install or uninstall

The application has been built into an installer. you can choose if you would like an icon placed on your desktop, and it can be uninstalled from either your programs menu from start, or from add and remove programs from control panel.

no longer do you have to select the ini files.

the application will detect your directory and ask you to confirm that it is right, and store it. that way if you use the program in the future, you wont have to do it again.

Better backup/restore

with this application advancing on to other ini files, you can now select which files to backup, and which ones to restore independantly. the backup wizard will run on its first use, and you can run it at anytime from the menu.
