Browsing MonsterHunt without GameSpy

[Nelsona]

Being already hinted this trick I was thinking to not very post it, but I think it won't hurt anything.

We can get a new TAB in UT99's browser without adding any new file having sorted much better MonsterHunt Servers. Things work properly by editing only 2 files located in SYSTEM folder using a text editing tool.

Open and edit file UBrowser.int as follows:
-----

• [ServerListTitles]
  UBrowserUT=UT Servers
  UBrowserLAN=LAN Servers
  UBrowserPopulated=Populated Servers
  UBrowserDeathmatch=Deathmatch
  UBrowserTeamGames=Team Deathmatch
  UBrowserCTF=Capture the Flag
  UBrowserDOM=Domination
  UBrowserAS=Assault
  UBrowserLMS=Last Man Standing
  UBrowserMH=Monster Hunt //ADD THIS LINE without slashes and these words after slashes
  UBrowserAll=All Servers

-----

Good...
Next file that need editing is your ini... like UnrealTournament.ini as follows in short terms:

-----

• ...
  [UBrowserAS]
  ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserSubsetFact,SupersetTag=UBrowserAll,GameType=Assault,bCompatibleServersOnly=True
  
  [UBrowserLMS]
  ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserSubsetFact,SupersetTag=UBrowserAll,GameType=LastManStanding,bCompatibleServersOnly=True
  
  //ADD section bellow, without this line
  [UBrowserMH]
  ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserSubsetFact,SupersetTag=UBrowserAll,GameType=MonsterHunt,bCompatibleServersOnly=True
  //End of add-on - no need this line
  
  [UBrowserAll]
  //See which Master Server delivers more MonsterHunt - no need this line is just info - even others known
  ListFactories[0]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=utmaster.epicgames.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut
  ListFactories[1]=UBrowser.UBrowserGSpyFact,MasterServerAddress=unreal.epicgames.com,MasterServerTCPPort=28900,Region=0,GameName=ut
  ListFactories[2]=
  ListFactories[3]=
  ListFactories[4]=
  ListFactories[5]=
  ListFactories[6]=
  ListFactories[7]=
  ListFactories[8]=
  ListFactories[9]=
  bHidden=True
  bFallbackFactories=False
  ServerListTitle=
  URLAppend=
  AutoRefreshTime=0
  bNoAutoSort=False
  ....
  
  
  ....
  [UBrowser.UBrowserMainClientWindow]
  LANTabName=UBrowserLAN
  ServerListNames[0]=UBrowserUT
  ServerListNames[1]=UBrowserLAN
  ServerListNames[2]=UBrowserPopulated
  ServerListNames[3]=UBrowserDeathmatch
  ServerListNames[4]=UBrowserTeamGames
  ServerListNames[5]=UBrowserCTF
  ServerListNames[6]=UBrowserDOM
  ServerListNames[7]=UBrowserAS
  ServerListNames[8]=UBrowserLMS
  ServerListNames[9]=UBrowserAll
  ServerListNames[10]=UbrowserMH //Line added without slashes and these words
  ServerListNames[11]=None
  ServerListNames[12]=None

Good luck, monster hunters!

Later note:
Being from now on totally useless these files MonsterHunt.u and MonsterHunt.int you can remove them from your SYSTEM folder to not feel bugged by original additional MH TAB less functional and also to not see any mismatch version error - probably time come for MH v5.04 (I'm working on that) and it simply works from cache with no worries.

thanks for this

[Nelsona]

Thank you for reading.

Subject 2) Advanced browsing On Line servers (including MonsterHunt without any MonsterHunt related file). A nice player tool has been released, maybe a more fancy and cute UT browser.
XBrowser 2.0.0
Checkout UT'99.org for additional information and download links.

Yes, Thank you Nelsona <- one of the new gurus of UT MonsterHunt!
