has anyone heard of any working tweaks for the demmo?

I saw this while looking around the planet unreal forums but i have yet to see it put to use.
------
So you are borred why not make your own mod, or at least import a known mod, for instance INSTAGIB.

Make an insta.ini file save it in the ut2004 demo system map. Then pu the following inthe file:
"killall weapon
killall pickup
summon Xweapons.SuperShockRifle.pickup
set XGame.XPawn requiredequipment Xweapons.SuperShockRifle"

Before you start your game, type in the console exec insta.ini

End then you will play INSTAGIB WHOEHAAAA




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

As for the link skin being ugly, if you click on the link, shock, or assault rifle in the weapons tab, you will notice a check box for "classic model". Click that and you will have your classic models back.

----------------------------
the music folder in UT 2004 isnt' reading any of my music, what format do the songs need to be in, and how can i convert them


Unfortunately, they have to be in .ogg format. To convert files to .ogg, goto http://www.cdex.n3.net/ and pick up the latest version of CDex.

Install and open cdex. Select Options/Settings (or select F4).

Select Encoder Ogg Vorbis DLL Encoder. Set quality you want (default is 160) and click OK. Now just drag all the mp3's or wav or whatver you want into the window and click convert. It will convert all to Ogg and put into output files folder (will take about 30-40 secs per song). Then just take those and put in your C:\UT2004Demo\Music folder. Hit F11 in game to bring up the player and listen...


---------------------
easy way to add buddies


Simple: left-click on any server in the serverlist.

Now below you will find a list of all players in this server. Rightclick on a player's name and select "add buddy".

If you want to add a specific person you can also type in any other name after this right clicking business and then change the name.

Example: I right click on player "Billy", select "add buddy" and then fill in the name of a teammate

retail game should have mp3 support too so you wont have to "ogg" everything.

a good tip is if you want the console to show up and TAB isnt working press the "say" key. Yeah, press it, and before doing anything press backspace until you delete the word "Say" which shows in the prompt. you can now type commands ( loaded and god cheats dont work but stat fps/stat all/etc will work)

another tweak is you can actually get custom models made for ut2003 in the ut2004 demo! just install them as you would install them in ut2003. the only problem is they lack the in-vehicle animatios show when youre in the manta youll see your player standing or running :D yet they will do for the rest of game modes.

ok heres some more

ever want to switch turents in a vehicle? well this thread says ya can

http://www.ataricommunity.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=360282

also found this little trick someone posted and it actualy works pretty well!

damn anoying flying pesky Raptors
If they don't see you:
- Fire the AVRiL in their general direction then as soon as it’s close lock it to them so they dont have 30 seconds to find cover. (Fire it so it overshoots then lock, this way the pilot won't be able to see where it’s coming from).

more tips...

Scorpions rock against Mantas. just one non charged bola can destroy a manta. best part is that the bola gets sucked into the propellers on the manta so theres not much chance to miss :D. the scorpion's bola is also an excellent weapon against nodes. just keep shooting non charged shots on the node quickly and watch the health go down.

oh and that rurent switching does work. (am i the only one who didnt know this?)

its just like switching weapons with the numbers...for me if I am driving the hellbender i press 2 to get into the side turent and 3 to get into the back and 1 to get into the drivers seat again. I set them up like this.(i may change em around again)

If you set "Reduce mouse lag" to off, you get a pretty great FPS increase and your mouse works better.

...and if you take off preload all skins the game will load faster and run better...believe me.
