DB 1.9 >< DB 1.8 Changing "Utility"

Its not much, but it sort of helps if you are willing to download for a bit to save much more time when you have to fiddle about renaming files, forgetting when you backed up and so on.

--------------
Download: Deathball 1.8 Files
Download: Deathball 1.9 Files
--------------

These are simple zips. Directory structured. When you want to play 1.8, unzip the 1.8 zip to /UT2003 directory. Rewrite all files when asked.

When you want a 1.9 game, Unzip the 1.9 zip to /UT2003 and overwrite all files.

Want to play 1.8 again? Just repeat.

As I said, its a pretty much crappy tool but It saved me time.

PS: Feel free to mirror from crappy bt site.

Meh, seems a bit suck then. You will need to update the zips if you are using it, by going to http://forums.gameservers.net/showthrea ... eadid=7785 every now and then, and updating the neccessary files for the db 1.9 zip.

seems a bit complicated. Maybe I just suck $\o/$

make a directory in your ut2003 dir called dbbeta, extract all the 1.9 stuff into this dir (maps/.u/.gfx etc)

copy your deathball.ini file, and rename it dbbeta.ini.

Add the following lines to your dbbeta.ini, BEFORE the other paths=system ones under the [Core.System] section :

Paths=../dbbeta/*.u
Paths=../dbbeta/*.ut2
Paths=../dbbeta/*.utx
Paths=../dbbeta/*.uax
Paths=../dbbeta/*.umx
Paths=../dbbeta/*.usx
Paths=../dbbeta/*.ukx
Paths=../dbbeta/*.uvx

it should look like this, or close to this after:

[Core.System]
PurgeCacheDays=30
SavePath=../Save
CachePath=../Cache
CacheExt=.uxx
Paths=../dbbeta/*.u
Paths=../dbbeta/*.ut2
Paths=../dbbeta/*.utx
Paths=../dbbeta/*.uax
Paths=../dbbeta/*.umx
Paths=../dbbeta/*.usx
Paths=../dbbeta/*.ukx
Paths=../dbbeta/*.uvx
Paths=../System/*.u
Paths=../Maps/*.ut2
Paths=../Textures/*.utx

make a shortcut to your ut2003.exe with the following params

click on the shortcut to play 1.9, use your normal exe for 1.8
