My first try: [edit]now second try [/edit]
http://130.89.22.201/unreal/pmbasic-current.exe (5.01 Mb)
which is a link to
http://130.89.22.201/unreal/pmbasic-1204.exe
Contains a self-installer and:
System/AdvancedModelSupport.u
System/BDBMapVote303.u
System/EavySpawnProtect.u
System/HelsolPackage.u
System/WraithguardII.u
System/ZPBasicWeaponsAddonV210.u
System/ZeroPingBaseV210.u
Textures/BossSkins_OCA5.utx
Textures/CommandoSkins_OCA_Punt.utx
Textures/CommandoSkins_OCA_Roba.utx
Textures/WraithguardIISkins_OCA.utx
Seems like rar compresses a lot better than unreal itself.
A question. Would someone be willing to
1/ clean install basic unreal ONLY. No skinpacks bonuspacks, anything
2/ connect to PM SNP server
3/ use cache cleaner to save all files (except the map) in a seperate dir
4/ send me the dir somehow (zip+email?)
5/ connect to PM OCA server
6/ repeat step #3
7/ repeat step #4
Im asking this cause Im unsure what packages (like the skeletal chars perhaps) are downloaded next to the obvious things like the OCA skins.
Oh shit can someone move this topic to 'Servers'?

Textures/BossSkins_OCA4.utx and Textures/BossSkins_OCA5.utx ?
Do we use both of these? Also I think people would be better with zip or rar files or even a umod as oppose to an exe.

BossSkins_OCA4.utx isnt needed, it was replaced by ...OCA5.utx.
Also I think BonusPacks should be part of "clean" UT.

You can simply unrar the .exe with Winrar instead of letting the self-extractor run. Rar isn't as widespread as you'd think so I prefer .exe.
Also I have no idea how to make an umod, especially not through unix shell prompt. If you want to throw yourself down as the umod maker then by all means, but I have now whipped up a system that allows me to make and update the Rar (.exe)
Incidentally the chance of the .exe having a virus is -zero-.
Well unless some Evil Hacker From Serbia makes a virus that infects unix rar SFX headers (i.e. unexecutable files in themselves that append themselves to a .rar to form a running program). Unlikely

4 removed. Size difference in the rar: 10k.
Must say, Rar is quite efficient.

Well, depends on your point of view I guess. People will still have to download them, I see no reason not to include them, since they are files someone needs to download off the servers.
My rationale is that this is a service for modem users who are frustrated to find they have to wait for ages to download all the stuff of UT. If they knew how to download and install bonuspacks they'd already have done so. Instead they try to connect immediately and I want to pack up all the files they will download off the server anyway (minus the maps) if they just connected and wait for the server downloads to finish.
The only difference is that my .exe will put the files into their system dir instead of into the cache, but I doubt that's too big of a problem.

But you can get exe joiners, that would intergrate another exe file into that one.
But I did say 'people'. As it is im ok with self extracting files and I usually do open them with winrar. theres a lot of people that arent ok with exe files, indeed some networks block them in emails.
Is 4 removed from Serverpackages? or just Download Package?

btw as far as umods are concerned, one of the best tools ive found for unreal, is Unreal Office.
http://xferoc3a.fileplanet.com/^1625577144/ftp2/planetunreal/unrealtorment/UOsetup.exe
(have to copy and paste in browser cos of dodgy characters)
You can listen to and extract the music/sounds and view/extract textures also you can open/create umods

No i mean the unix rar sfx creation process is impervious to normal virusses since it never executes the sfx
Anyway I can make a zip of it too.
As for umod, well maybe that's cool and all but I would need a tool that can create an umod on the fly under unix, I dont want to have to do it manually. (other than copying the files to the right places before rarring)
Anyway can someone please do the steps I listed i.e. install clean UT and zip up (or at least list) the files that are in the cache after first connects with SNP and OCA?

5053770 Apr 13 18:55 pmbasic1304.exe
6842573 Apr 13 18:55 pmbasic1304.zip
pmbasic-current.exe -> /var/www/unreal/pmbasic1304.exe
pmbasic-current.zip -> /var/www/unreal/pmbasic1304.zip
There we go.
