How to run Mods

Archived from groups: alt.games.unreal.tournament2003 (More info?)

Hi,

I just downloaded the Alien Swarm and Red Orchestra mods and ran their
install programs. It created a subdirectory for each one in my UT2004
directory but can't figure out how to play them.

How do I play them?

For Alien Swarm in particular, I found a specific shortcut in my start menu.
Looking through my UT directory, I notice that each Mod had its own .bat
file or .exe file for starting it up directly.

So I guess the command is:
ut2004.exe -mod=<the directory name where the mod is installed>

e.g.

ut2004.exe -mod=Troopers
ut2004.exe -mod=AirBuccaneers
