Introduction to UTXMP
Unreal Tournament Expanded Multiplayer (often shortened to "UTXMP")
is a class based multiplayer team game. It relies
on crucial teamwork as you attempt to gain control of four powerful
artifacts and fuel the war machine through domination of critical
resources. You must use the arsenal of weaponry, vehicles, and
defenses at your disposal to help your team win this battle.
UTXMP is a total conversion for Unreal Tournament 2004, developed by Free
Monkey Interactive, and is based upon Unreal
II: Expanded Multiplayer, released in 2003 by the now-defunct Legend
Entertainment.

Starting UTXMP
If you used the automatic installer, simply double-click the "UTXMP for
UT2004" shortcut on your desktop or browse to UTXMP -> UTXMP for
UT2004 on the Windows start menu.
If you used the manual multi-platform .zip archive, you will need to
run UT2004 with the parameter -mod=UTXMP. To do this under Windows,
simply create a shortcut to UT2004 on your desktop, right click on
it and select "Properties", then select the "Shortcut" tab. simply add
"
-mod=UTXMP" at the end of whatever's in the "Target" box as shown in
this screenshot. Remember
to leave a space between "UT2004.exe" and "-mod=UTXMP"!
Of course, you can always launch UTXMP by selecting it under the "User
Mods " section of the "Community" menu at the UT2004 main menu.
Multiplayer
To join a multiplayer server and start playing immediately, simply start
UTXMP and select "Join Game" at the main menu. From there, select "Internet"
to join an online game or "LAN" to join a game on your local network.
Simply double-click a server to join it.
If you want to host a server, simply select "Host Game" from the main
menu, select a map and configure server options. Then press either
"Listen" to start a listen server (play at the same time as hosting)
or "Dedicated" to start a dedicated server (host a server without
playing).

You can play an offline single-player game of XMP against bots, just like in UT2004. Simply select "Instant Action" from the main menu.
