Compressing UT packages from Explorer
For all of you who occasionally have to compress a UT package for a redirect server and aren't very pleased to do this via a commandline interface I wrote this tutorial of how to setup explorer to compress the packages for you. As you probably know you can associate filetypes with a program, when you doubleclick the icon in Explorer it opens the file, but you also can bind additional commands to a filetype.
![]() Go to Tools in the menubar and press Folder Options, you'll now get a setup screen where you can change the view of the mapfiles, but also filetypes.
![]() Go to the File Types tab and select the UNR extension, this extension is normally set to open with UnrealTournament. Click on Advanced and a menu will open with the current binds to the UNR extension.
![]() Create a new action by clicking New.
![]() You can call the new Action Compress, set the application to:
<UT Dir>/System/ucc.exe compress %1
![]() Now if you right click on a UNR file you can choose compress, a command window will be opened and the file compressed.
You should do the same for texture, sound, music and uscript files.
