Hi, I downloaded Mr. Pants' Excessive Overkill for Unreal Tournament 2004:
http://www.excessiveoverkill.com/
It comes both as zip and ut4mod.

However, I can't install ut4mods (there seems to be a registry entry missing) and I can't install the zip (it shows up in the mutator list in UT2k4, but when I activate it nothing happens).

Can anybody help?

Happy new year, by the way!

I don't have UT2004 installed right now but ut4mod installation should be sumulilar to umod installation.

Create file called ut4umod.reg and copupaste the following there: BEFORE doing anything else replace parts marked bold with your actual UT2004 installation directory.
IMPORTANT! All slashes in the pathname your paste into the REG file must be double just like in the example.

Save the file and import it into the registry. Elevated shell might be required for this action, depending on your Windows version or UAC settings.

Voila. Ut4mod files will be installed by simple double clicking now.

Thanks!

But, how did you know that I installed GOG on drive D?
And shouldn't it read in the third line [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.ut4mod] ?

I did not. You are to paste your actual path to the game there. )
But isn't it natural to never install games to your system drive? And the next available usually is D: I'm sorry.... I forgot the rule: never post to the forums when you are drunk and sleepy. There are more then one stupid error actually. ((((

This should be correct: Happy New Year! )

Yay, thank you so much!
It worked!

If you want to do the same, be sure to use the correct path in the ut4mod installer's target directory.
It doesn't work when you put in something like D:\GOG Games\Unreal Tournament 2004\Excessive.
Use D:\GOG Games\Unreal Tournament 2004 instead.
