UNREAL TOURNAMENT MAP FILE NAMING CONVENTION

In the vast majority of cases, especially for Unreal Tournament 2003 and later, we have tried to keep all custom resources located directly in each individual map's MyLevel package, which is internal in the map file itself.  This removes the need to distribute additional package files along with each map, and results in a single file distributable.

In the case where additional package files are distributed along with a map, DGUnreal has adopted a common file naming system to make it easier to determine what package files belong to which of our maps.  This makes it easier when you are working with your UT folders.

All DGUnreal map file names begin with the standard UT Map GameType:
AS = Assault, BR = Bombing Run, CTF = Capture the Flag, DM = DeathMatch, DDOM = Double Domination, DOM = Domination, ONS = Onslaught, VCTF = Vehicle CTF.
This is followed by the text DG_ or DG- to differentiate our maps from everyone else.
And finally, the map name itself.
For example: DM-DG_Dyscus.unr or DM-DG-Waterfall.ut2

Note: this naming system may be slightly different for maps created for other games such as Tribes:Vengeance or Unreal 2:XMP, but similar naming systems are still implemented.


Any custom packages and readme files in the map distributable will have the same or similar file name as the map itself, with the appropriate file extension for the file type.
For example: DGDyscus.utx is the texture package for the map DM-DG_Dyscus.unr.
If multiple packages are included with the map, they have an additional three character suffix appended to the package name:

Any large packages distributed for our custom GameTypes use the same naming conventions with the exception of our GameType as the prefix, eg: VDM-DG-FalloutIsland.ut2

UNREAL TOURNAMENT MAP INSTALLATION

You will require PKZip for Windows or WinZip to decompress any of the map files located on this web site.  Each distributable .zip file usually contains multiple files inside of it, the minimum of which will be a map and a readme text file.


Each .zip compressed package contains a .unr (UT) or .ut2 (UT2k4) map file,
copy this to the game's \Maps folder.

If a distributable includes a custom .umx (UT) or .ogg (UT2k4) music file,
copy this to the game's \Music folder.

If a distributable includes a custom .uax sound file,
copy this to the game's \Sounds folder.

If a distributable includes a custom .usx (UT2k4) staticmesh file,
copy this to the game's \StaticMeshes folder.

If a distributable includes a custom .u script or model file,
copy this to the game's \System folder.

If a distributable includes a custom .utx texture file,
copy this to the game's \Textures folder.

You may optionally copy any .doc or .txt documentation files to the game's \Help folder.
Be sure to view the readme file before playing the map for important information!
