Setting up a Dedicated UT Server from inside the game for the Internet!
This is for Cable, DSL or T1 Servers.

To launch a defended server from within the Game itself, this is the easiest way for New Server Admins to begin.

Side by side, Click on Multiplayer > Start New Multiplayer Game >
You lot volition come to the Control Window to set upwards your server.

The Tab showing volition be "Lucifer"...

First, choose which "Game Type" and which "Map" you want to start the server with.
(NOTE: The Maps Name selections only testify maps that are associated with the Game Type you have selected)
If yous click on the down arrow, a drop downwards carte du jour volition appear showing a Listing of Game Types and Maps available from your UnrealTournament/Maps directory, merely similar when to start a "Practice Game".
Highlight and click on your choice.
If you click on the "MapList" button you will run across a two section window.
The lefthand window gives you lot a "Not Cycled" list of maps from you lot UnrealTournament/Maps directory (folder) that will not be running in the map cycle list.
The righthand window shows the "Maps Chosen" to exist run in the map cycle listing.
To move maps from one window section to the other merely highlight and double click (or just double click) on the Map's Name and it will jump to the other window section.
If you click on the "Mutators" button, the two section window for mutators will announced using the aforementioned format as the map cycle list we talked about above.
The "Motorcar Modify Levels" box...

The Game bases the conclusion on the number of players on each team at that moment of entry.

If you walk away from the estimator with your thespian still in the game, it volition keep respawning and getting killed, causing your teammates to get actually annoyed at y'all!
If you did this on someone else'south server and they saw what was happening, they would virtually likely "Kick" y'all from the server.
"Friendly Burn percentage" This sliding scale lets you adjust how much "damage" y'all cause your teammates when y'all "accidentaly" shoot them. Well-nigh servers run information technology at 0%.

"Time Limit" This is in minutes, for how long you want the game to run before it shuts downward the level (map) if the score has not been reached.
"Tournament" Normally, servers do not check this box.
If you check this box so the game will non start until all the actor are in and y'all volition not exist able to modify teams during the Tournament Matches.
"Max Spectators" Sets the number of people who can enter the game as a spectator.
Spectators pull downwardly the same corporeality of bandwidth and CPU usage and retentiveness allocation as a player.
So be conscientious how many you allow in the game to watch.

If you lot have information technology set for "ii", the default volition exist 2 teams, Bluish and Red.
If you endeavor to join the GREEN team it will non allow it to happen and will assign yous to either the Ruby or the Bluish team.
Gear up to "iii", the default will be 3 teams, Blue, RED and Light-green.
Set to "4", the default will be 4 teams, Bluish, Cerise, Dark-green and GOLD.
"4" Teams is the Maximum setting!

"SETTINGS" Tab ...

"Game Style" The default or normal setting is "Hardcore".
There is a drop down carte du jour with other settings...
@@@@ ADD "OTHER" Settings Hither! @@@@

"Game Speed" This "sliding calibration" will set up the game to run faster or slower depending on the setting.

Information technology is a wrist worn device (beacon) that you lot "shoot" over to a location by pressing "burn down" button, if you press the "fire" button once again you lot will exist transported (teleported) over to the spot where the Translocator beacon is.
Right Clicking Cancels the Translocator afterward it has been shot and makes it ready to shoot once again.

As Man players enter the game, the BOTS volition leave.
If the Human player count goes to this number so there will be "NO" BOTS in the game.
"Auto Adjust Skill" If this box is checked, and then equally yous are playing the game with BOTS in it, they will "learn" how to play better or worse every bit the game progresses depending on how skilled the Homo Players are.

This can really exist quite interesting to do.
I (Hook) one time changed the showtime 15 bots to Look and Deed as closely every bit I could prepare them to my family members and some close relatives, fifty-fifty a couple of our pets, with all of their names too!
It felt very much like I was playing with the real family members!
