I - INTRODUCTION

"Defend Unreal Territories" (DUT) is a mod for Unreal Tournament 3, based on
the Unreal universe: the team players have to keep the invaders away from the
portal which drives to the Earth. Each time a player kills a monster, he earns
money. This money can be used to buy sentinels to improve the team's firepower,
and to boost some of the player's capabilities: he will be faster, his strength
will be increased etc.

Please note that our mod is (still) a beta release - the code is dirty,
functionalities aren't all implemented, and everything you see may change in a
future release.

Some external features have been integrated in our mod - Thanks to each of them
for giving us such content!
* [Map] DUT-Tower : made by Loïc "Darknigthmare" Basques
* [Bot] KaT-031283MAA, v1.1 : made by iWaNN
* [Bot] GoB-BA, v1.1 : made by iWaNN

#### Feel free to contact us, we'll be happy to include your models & ideas
#### in our mod!

II - INSTALLATION

In order to play our MOD, you have to unpack the archive into the following dir:
1 - Windows:
C:\Users\"Your Name"\My Documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\
2 - Server configuration:
Our mod has no replication, so network games does'nt work for now.

You can create a link pointing to your executable with this options if you want
to bypass the classic way of launching the game :
__
?numplay=0?game=DefendUnrealTerritories.DefendUnrealTerrit
ories -nomoviestartup
¯¯
With the full path of your executable and the name
of the map you want to launch (2 choices : DUT-Colony/DUT-Ruins).
