ATTENTION ATTENTION

I've decided to do a little celebration for the 20th anniversary of Unreal Tournament 1999, and also the end of the decade, by doing a Christmas/December time multiplayer server. I got a handful of Christmas/Winter themed CTF and DM maps. Specifically, 11 CTF maps and 19 DM maps.
>How do I get in on this?
Download the files below. One link is for maps, the other is for the game files itself. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to check if my install could be run on other systems besides my own. If you don't own UT99 and my install doesn't work for you, you can get the game on GOG for 2.49 USD.
Anyways,
>There's a bunch of weird files I don't understand. What the hell is a utx? What is a umx?
These are required map files. When you open the individual map .zips for the maps in christmas.zip, you'll have to put each file where they belong in your UT99 directory. Handy guide:
>.txt files and .jpeg/.png screenshots go in Help
>.unr files go in Maps
>.umx files go in Music
>.uax files go in Sounds
>.int and .u files go in System
>.utx files go in Textures

>How do I configure the settings to my liking?
In-game, click on Options at the top, and open Preferences. These are the general settings. Meanwhile, Player Setup is for your username, team, player skin and model, and voice. Weapons is just a list describing each weapon, but it also lets you toggle automatic weapon switching.

Dropbox for the maps (also contains unused maps I didn't have time to review and implement)

Don't have UT99? Here's a copy of the install I use. I tried making it as default as I knew how. There's some files that fix the OGL renderer, and the official Bonus Packs 1-4 along with Advanced Model Support.

I'll probably try making a thread about this on /v/, and see if they can drag themselves away from shitposting long enough to at least open the thread.
