Unreal Tournament 2004 Patch 7 Release notes.
========================================================================

This patch is completely compatible with the retail version - servers and clients of any flavor can connect with each other.

This patch will not overwrite your ut2004.ini and user.ini files, except to update settings as necessary. This patch includes all changes made in Patches 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,and 6.

This patch should be installed *after* installing the Epic ECE Bonus Pack, as it updates some of the game code included with the bonus pack.

Thanks to John Barrett for a number of fixes.

General Gameplay:
- Fixed DriverLeft() not be called when driver dies in vehicle without vehicle being destroyed. This fixes the vehicle not resetting, and fixes effects like the engine sound not being turned off.
- Fixed some vehicle weapon effects staying around when bots stopped firing them.
- Fixed spider mine layer incorrectly reducing mine count when a fired spider mine immediately explodes.
- Fixed manta and raptor spinning sometimes when player enters
- SPMA camera explodes if it hits water.
- Don't allow SPMA camera view to go outside world.
- Invasion HUD radar uses the viewed pawn's rotation rather than the spectator's rotation.
- Fixed low gravity not working properly in second and successive rounds of onslaught.
- Moved announcements for assault energycore to ASOBJ_EnergyCore_Spawn, and made them editable by level designers.
- Fixed spawning multiple energycores in Assault.
- Can now throw linkgun with 1 ammo left.
- Fixed exploit where shieldgun could be used to protect against lava or slime volume damage.
- Fixed CTF Flags not returning exploit
- Fixed stats tracking when a player switches between a spectator and active player (or vice-versa)

Networking:
- Various networking serialization optimizations.
- Fixed issues where players would not properly be sent to the Spectating state on clients.
- Fix for eyeheight getting screwed up on client
- Server optimization - players don't do line of sight checks with each other
- Don't replicate pawn.ViewPitch to netowner
- Fixed CTF flag not properly attaching to vehicles on net clients.
- Made CD key hashes sent by clients more secure.
- Fixed various exploits.
- Merged Michiel Hendrick's HTTP redirect code improvements.
- Merged Fix for Map Vote Bug that cut off some chat text
- Merged Fix for Map Vote Bug that caused the window to open twice
- Prevent crash exploit (which was fixed) from being propagated to unpatched clients.

Engine:
- Return rather than asserting in UCanvas::WrappedPrint() if no valid font.
- Fixed -Mod= to support proper exporting of headers
- Convert '|' to 'I' in player names.
- Fixed cut and paste error in MidGamePanel.uc that could cause crashes on level changes. (thanks Wormbo)
- Fix and optimization for projector rendering.
- Various changes to support 64 bit version.
- Scripted texture changes so they don't render upside down on OpenGLDrv.
- Fixed weather effects on OpenGLDrv.

Ooh, good stuff... he's finally dropping the hammer he promised back in August.

Hopefully the Mac and Win64 versions will be ready sometime Saturday.
  Building patches for all these platforms really takes a long long time.

For those that are experimenting with the new render-to-texture support,
  here're my updated notes from before:

Some things this fixes:
  - The scoreboard in DM-Morpheus3.
  - Motion blur in Red Orchestra and UnWheel, etc.
  - Realistic player shadows.
  - The Hellbender license plate.
  - Vehicle headlights, mostly.
  - Other things.

Some notes, first:
  - Mac OS X finally has the GL extension we need for this! If you're using
     10.4.3 or later, it'll work...the game will still run as before (i.e. -
     without the cool effects) on older Mac OS releases...so the 3369 patch
     and 10.4.3 will get you going.
...
- You MUST set "UseRenderTargets=True" in the "[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]"
  section of your UT2004.ini, or it WILL NOT WORK.

sweet!

I always wanted to see my name on the hellbender LP

I was trying to follow the directions provided with the patch, but I couldn't find the text "UseRenderTargets=True" anywhere in my UT2004.ini file. Do I need to type in the whole thing? I thought it would be there and I could just change False to True.

"You MUST set "UseRenderTargets=True" in the "[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]" section of your UT2004.ini, or it WILL NOT WORK."

Just add the line with the rest of the "Use..." lines.
...
[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
DetailTextures=True
HighDetailActors=True
SuperHighDetailActors=True
UsePrecaching=True
UseCompressedLightmaps=True
UseTrilinear=False
UseStencil=False
UseRenderTargets=True
MaxTextureUnits=4
...

Curse you Apple! Must I upgrade my whole OS just to get new video drivers?

is this patch officially available, or just hacked.  Cause its not on MacSoft's site.

Taking from the Icculus page in regard to the 3369 patch:

Icculus wrote:

Naturally, we've had regressions in both the Linux and Mac versions, so I'll be doing hotfixes for both. Grumble.

Anyone know what these problems are?

Hotfix, 3369-1, 9.3 MBs is out.

UT2004 for MacOS X patch 3369-1

3369.1 is a "hotfix" patch to correct some issues in the 3369 patch.

Changes over stock 3369:

- Linux: Fixed large memory usage.
- x86 Linux: Reenabled Pixomatic renderer ("PixoDrv").
- Mac OS X: game will now run on Mac OS X 10.2.8 ("Jaguar") again.
- Mac OS X: 3D audio now correctly spatializes, other OpenAL fixes.

The Linux version can be applied as usual; it's the 3369 patch with updated binaries. The Mac version requires a 3369 install, so the whole ECE Bonus Pack doesn't need downloading again. There is no Win32 or Win64 3369.1, as these issues were specific to Linux/Mac.
