When i start a new game, i have to configure my player, my team, my skin,
the mouse sensivity and the wheel mouse.

Which file(s) i have to modify to avoid this operation every time i run UT?

TIA

What Operating System are you running? Linux, windows, et.al.?
Are you running UT GOTY or just UT?

> Which file(s) i have to modify to avoid this operation every

If you are running UT or UT GOTY, most of these settings can be
found in User.ini in the UT\System folder, but the mouse
sensitivity is found in UnrealTournament.ini in the UT\System
folder I think, however it seems like something is throwing an
error and causeing the game to revert to the DefUser.ini file. Do
you play online in multiplayer at all? What ever you do *DO NOT*
edit the DefUser.ini file or any of the Default.ini files as this
could lead to having to reinstall the game!. It would be better
to find out what is causing the game to revert to the default
settings. Do you use the editor to make maps with? I'm asking
this because I know that the game doesn't remember any settings
that are changed while play testing a map from the editor.

I've never pesonally had this problem so I hope this helps.

Your User.ini is probably read-only.

Damn Melt!, where do you come up with this stuff? I would have
never thought about the file being *read only*!!!.

Must be something new then. In win98 and perhaps win2k too, you had to
fiddle with 'attrib' in a dos-box. Anyways, nice that they finally made
it easier. I never understood, though, that they set a read-only bit in
the first place.

WinME is an upgrade to Win98 (if you want to call it an upgrade) and
I have never had to mess with a dos prompt to change an attribute!.
In WinMe it's pretty much like flossie said except after I have
right clicked a file or folder and selected properties there are
two tabs, a *General* tab, and a *Shortcut* tab. My file attributes
are at the bottom of the General tab.

I don't know about Win98 though or any of its patched variants. I
can understand setting the RO bit if you're burning the file onto
a permanent medium but not copying it from a permanent medium back
to a temporary medium!. The RO bit should be cleared or at least
prompt you for changes! The stupid thing is that if the file has
the RO bit set and you go to move the file from one place on a
temporary medium to another place on that same medium, or another
medium of any kind, you will be prompted to the effect of "Are you
sure you want to move the Read Only File (yada yada)?".

Already done, Thanks! But,
I have experienced another prob like these: i tried to add a new server in
my prefs and when i ran the game again, my new added pref wasn't there.Tried
once again with no result.
I decided to edit the UnrealTournament.ini file where the prefs are located
to add my pref (Favorites[12]=URS TEAM\66.208.105.78\7778\Falso, i can
modify the files so they aren't read-only) and still i can't see it in my
prefs...
HELPPP

I won't do this!

Do you use the editor to make maps with?

No, i'm so occupied playing, not possible to edit anything!=)

Sure, any help was appreciated!!

So the files were set to *read-only* and switching if off did no
good? You could try looking in your UT\System folder for a file
called UNREALTOURNAMENT.log and open it with a text editor. Use
the text editor's search function (if it has a search function) to
do a non-case sensitive search for words like error, failure,
warning, and critical. If you find some of those words it could
give us some idea what's going on. Post only the lines from the
log file that contain these words if you find any of them. Make
sure you have first tried to add a server to your favorites before
looking in the log file for errors. Also before you do anything
at all, open your Unrealtournament.ini file with a text editor and:


Find bHidden=True and bFallbackFactories=True
Replace those with bHidden=False and bFallbackFactories=False

actually, winme was a downgrade from win98 ;op


and yes, all you ever had to do in win9x or win2k was right click on the
file or folder and change the attributes. But I like winxp's not making
them read only in the first place even better.

I completely agree with you there dude! There seems to be nothing
I can do about it though. I tried to install WinXP Pro and it
tells me that a lot of stuff is going to quit working and some of
my *built in* hardware is incompatible! Like my CPU speed is too
slow for WinXP at 668mhz and WinXP requires at least 750mhz to be
able to take care of the USB. The USB is how I'm connecting to the
internet using a USB dial up modem. It's a long story that
doesn't seem to have an end, except for just sticking to the best
that I can get, that will work in this PC, and that seems to be
WinMe. I am considering buying a new PC and have also considered
Linux but I'm completely clueless, vexed, and perplexed with Linux
as to what would work or not on this PC. ;-)

Win9x never offered to remove the read-only bit recursively.

I've used USB on a P166 MMX by plugging in a USB expansion card. Of
course, I used Linux on that ;-)

LOL Linux has that effect on people ;-)

The best way to fix win9x is to use Win98; Win98se; or WinMe (Windoze
Mangled and mutated Edition), 98Lite; to *BREAK* Internut Exploder's
stranglehold on Win9x, and the Win95 Explorer desktop and file
manager.

To get an idea of what in current distributions of Linux can work on
your current system, try a LiveCD distribution of Linux.
My personal favourite is Knoppix Linux -
http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html
It's Debian Linux with the KDE desktop and it boots directly from the
CD.
You can also install Linux from the LiveCD if you find you like Linux
enough.

Thanks Jenifur! 🙂 I bookmarked the page and will go back to
it later. I was also reading on that page about *"Software-Patents"
in Europe: The threat prevails*. It's too bad really that this
whole world has to be governed by something as trivial as money!.
It seems that money truly does make the world go around these days!
:-( I'm happy in any event though!. 🙂

Thank you again!
