About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

'UT XMP' - Public Beta 1 Available NOW

by Judy on Dec. 10, 2004 @ 12:22 p.m. PST

Unreal Tournament: Expanded Multiplayer is a class based multiplayer team game. It relies on crucial teamwork as you attempt to gain control of four powerful artifacts and fuel the war machine through domination of critical resources. You must use the arsenal of weaponry, vehicles, and defenses at your disposal to help your team win this battle. UT XMP is a total conversion for UT2004, developed by Free Monkey Interactive, and is based upon Unreal II: Expanded Multiplayer, released in 2003 by the now-defunct Legend Entertainment.

Starting UTXMP

If you used the automatic installer, simply double-click the "UTXMP for UT2004" shortcut on your desktop or browse to UTXMP -> UTXMP for UT2004 on the Windows start menu.

If you used the manual multi-platform .zip archive, you will need to run UT2004 with the parameter -mod=UTXMP. To do this under Windows, simply create a shortcut to UT2004 on your desktop, right click on it and select "Properties", then select the "Shortcut" tab. simply add " -mod=UTXMP" at the end of whatever's in the "Target" box as shown in this screenshot. Remember to leave a space between "UT2004.exe" and "-mod=UTXMP"!

Of course, you can always launch UTXMP by selecting it under the "User Mods " section of the "Community" menu at the UT2004 main menu.

Multiplayer

To join a multiplayer server and start playing immediately, simply start UTXMP and select "Join Game" at the main menu. From there, select "Internet" to join an online game or "LAN" to join a game on your local network. Simply double-click a server to join it.

If you want to host a server, simply select "Host Game" from the main menu, select a map and configure server options. Then press either "Listen" to start a listen server (play at the same time as hosting) or "Dedicated" to start a dedicated server (host a server without playing).
