This application is designed to make it easier to set up a quick UT game on a listen server, over a LAN or the Internet. It was inspired by a LAN game for which I set up the server to use Bonus Pack models, but forgot the skins. Lacking textures, Skaarj and Nali players (one or two on each team) were completely invisible, apart from their disembodied weapons floating around the map.

The problem, as I see it, is that UT is designed as a dedicated-server game. If you run a dedicated server, you will generally leave it running for long periods of time with exactly the same settings, and you won't bother installing mods you don't use. Dedicated server ops probably won't mind poking around in the settings with Notepad, because, once set up, a UT server won't need any changes for a while.

However, setting up "listen server" games on your own PC, the same one you try out mods and play botmatches on, could do with slightly simpler configuration. Hopefully, you should be able to run a listen-server game with mods fairly easily just using this program and the Unreal Tournament graphical interface.
