UT Community SDK
Unreal Tournament mod | Released Sep 28, 2010
The Unreal Tournament SDK is a state-of-the-art Toolset / Engine Enhancement for retail Unreal Tournament and a substitute for a still missing new Patch, that brings UT to today's standards in the style of the Stalker Complete Series. Sci-Fi Battle Scenes, a Strategy Game, a Fun Mod, Survival-Horror Shooter, Simulations - Everything is possible. It will also include a Sandbox showcasing the New Possibilities via bundled Mini-Mods made by Fans and me. It enhances the render engine, gameplay, unreal script features and anything UT Veterans ever dreamed off. It is completely Open Source, free for noncommercial use.

UTSDK February 2012 Beta Release
This month's release comes with a huge update for the Material System adding new Materials like TexRotators and TexEnvMaps! On the other hand I implemented a lot of the C++ rendering functionality on Unreal Script Level (native functions) and finally added full Quaternion Support.
More good news: I reimplemented Projectors and optimized them and fixed some rendering bugs concerning the new Blending Styles. There're also finally 2 read-to-use Example Packages (sdkSandbox and sdkSandboxMaterials) showing example content including Materials, Static Meshes, Projectors and Emitters.
New Features
- added: new Sprite Class "sdkQuad" - a Sprite with free rotation and no camera alignment
- added: new Texture/Sprite Rendering Functions
- DrawRotatedTile (a freely rotatable Texture Quad without camera alignment)
- DrawBeamTile (specialized function for drawing texture beams and sparks
- added: new Material Classes and Texture Modifiers
- TexEnvMap
- TexSphereMap
- TexPanner / TexEmissivePanner
- TexRotator / TexEmissiveRotator
- TexScaler / TexEmissiveScaler
- TexOscillator / TexEmissiveOscillator
- Emissive Material
- TexCombiner
- added: new Package "sdkSandbox" and "sdkSandboxMaterials"with Tutorial, Test, Example Contents and Classes
- ready-to-use Classes
- Example Emitters and Particle Systems
- Example Projectors
- Example Materials
- Example Static Meshes
- added: new Datatypes (C++ and Unreal Script)
- ColorRange, a randomized color value
- FloatRotator, a floating point rotator
- Vector2DRel, a 2D vector with a relative scaler
- added: new Iterator Functions
- CollidingActors - iterates through all colliding Actors (visible or not visible)
- AllObjects - iterates through all objects in a level
- added: new Primitive/Sprite Rendering Functions (Unreal Script)
- Draw3DArrow
- Draw3DPlane
- Draw3DFrustum
- Draw3DBox
- Draw3DSprite
- Draw3DCorona
- added: Full Quaternion Support
- uses FPlane struct, but operations inside functions equals real Quaternions
- globally supported on Unreal Script Level
- globally supported on C++ Level
- added: new Canvas Functions
- DrawTile2 (like DrawTile, but supports new Blending)
- DrawRotatedTile (draws a spinning texture tile)
- added: new Color Functions
- ColorLerp, smooth linear Color Interpolation
- ColorSmerp, smooth non-linear Color Interpolation
- VectorToRGB, RGBToVector - conversion between vector and color (in 0.0/1.0 range)
- added: LightColor Sprite Preview for sdkLight
Fixes/Updates
- updated: recoded and updated Material/Texture System
- updated: completely recoded Texture Projectors, merged Decal / Plane Projectors into one Class
- supports new Texture Blendings (introduced Build 335)
- U/V Scaling
- U/V Tiling
- Dynamic Color
- Projection Fading
- Projector→ DynamicProjector → DistanceProjector → ShadowProjector
- updated: all Texture drawing Canvas functions have been updated to support new Blending Styles
- updated: moved all Iterator Functions from sdkLevelInfo to sdkActor, static functions now
- updated: moved all Color Functions from sdkCanvas to sdkActor
- fixed: Render Bug when changing new Blending Styles (BSP changed blending too)

Will this be compatible with Unreal Engine 2 as well?
No, this is Unreal Engine 1 only, as Unreal Engine 2 doesn't allow native coding with C++
ONE QUESTION FOR YOU:
Lightmaps are only reserved to brush? or you can apply them on meshs too ?
Thanks
Meshes in Unreal Engine 1 only use simple Vertex lighting. The more polys, the better the light quality. Lightmaps are generated on and only on Brushes during the Build-Process in UnrealED.
3 Questions:
Will you upgrade to Physic 3.0.1?
Can you find a way to support Tessellation on DX11 Graphics Cards?
Can you find a way to support Phong Shading?
i can't see any exe file when i have unzipped the build 172. how do i get into the developement kit?
also i would like to use the enhanced graphics. Is it a rendering device i need to set up? if it is i can't see it on the UT render list.
Do i need a previous version in order for it to install properly? i have also installed the build172 hotfix for safe measure.
sorry for a lot of questions just a bit confused :\
Nearly all of your questions can be answered by looking into the Documentation Files. Nethertheless I'm going to answer them for you here once again:
Answer1 - No, there's no seperate Exe (yet), you extract the system files and load them as EditPackages (UnrealTournament.ini) and work with the new Files within the UnrealED, how the files have to be set up can be seen by looking into the Readme files (Setting up the SDK.doc)
Answer2 - The new render features depend on the new base render "sdkRender.dll", you set that file as the game's Base Render, again this can be found in the Documentation (Setting up the SDK.doc)
Answer3 - No you won't need any previous Version, every Version (since Build 148) is a standalone Version, for Build 172 there exists a seperate hotfix, that has to be installed after Build 172 has been installed, the coming Build 200 will be again standalone and contains the Hotfix for Build 172 already
No problem, it's not that easy for anyone, questions are there to be answered...
thnx
Can you make the «patches» and «curves», like in Radiant editors? I think, it's be very helpful to create a smoothed polygons.
Oh, and «hello» (=
