I don't think you can take any content straight (mutator wise) from 2003 and put it into 2004, can you? I was under the impressive that very minor changes were needed for compatibility...

IIRC, it would need to be recompiled, but supposedly the changes were very slight and easy.

I'll let you know sometime this week when the game arrives.

Stop press. I have a necris skin pack for 2003! (from fileplanet)

I'll try it with that.

Well, there are three Necris skins at Polycount... Necris, Necris4, and Necris5. I'm assuming 2003 skins will work with 2004 without a hitch. They all look to be of pretty good quality as well Thumbs up!

Judging by the names, it seems as though there should be a Necris2 and 3 out there as well, hehe

2K3 maps seem to work just fine in 2K4 - the few I've tried anyway.

Yeah, they engines are virtually identical. UT2k4 is just better optimized for large-scale maps and has vehicle support.

Yes these are all in the pack I have from Fileplanet, plus others, which I guess are 2 and 3. They really are good, but the only problem is with team colours. They don't have any but relie of the sholder lights which are too small.
For me they will now be a standerd part of ut.

I got it, and got it to FINALLY work!!

It was a headache and required lurking on Atari's forums for a bit, but it worked!

Here in the US, games have never been released on a DVD before UT2004 (at least that I'm aware of). We end up with newer games that require four, five, or even six CDs to install.

UT2004 came in two flavors over here. The six-CD standard edition, and the 2 DVD special edition.

The SE had the entire game on disk1. Disk2 has like 150 hours worth of video tutorials on how to modify the UT engine. The SE also came with a fairly decent headset.

However, only 60,000 of the SE were made. It sold like hotcakes. It was virtually impossible to find one after the first day.

I will need to get one somehow. I have headphones and mikes all over the house, but the 150 hours sounds fantastic.

Hey in ut2004 the other night I was in a team with a load of french men! They spoke no english at all and we had a great time. I laughed so much i nearly fell off my seat.
