Unreal Tournament 2003 / Game Types & Mods / Marble Mania 2003

Marble Mania 2003 is a mod for Unreal Tournament 2003 inspired by the great classic arcade game Marble Madness. MM2k3 brings several new features to the table such as the freedom to rotate around the marble, zooming in/out, realistic physics handled by Karma integration with the Unreal engine, marble skins (with optional environment mapping), and the ability to make your own maps using UnrealEd!

Marble Mania 2003 will have both single and multiplayer modes. Single player will consist of the player racing the clock to navigate her/his marble through several maps while avoiding various obstacles in each map to reach a goal at the end of the level. Multiplayer modes will include a variety of gametypes such as Tag, Marbledome, and Race.

Features

This release features the new Elimination (multiplayer) gametype, two maps for it, a new single player map, updated versions of all previous maps, new visual effects and entities, and physics fun.

Installation

Unzip the UT2MOD file to your hard-drive. Run the unzipped UT2MOD file and installation is automatic from there.

To play

The UT2MOD installer creates a shortcut. Be sure to use it when you want to play MM2k3, for it sets UT2003 to use a custom ini file. Once in the new menu system, you can set your marble's texture, environment map setting, and triangle confetti color preferences in Settings->Player. We whole heartedly recommend the use of a trackball; if you don't have one, however, the mouse works. If you find the controls sluggish, consider raising the mouse sensitivity in Settings->Input.

If you grabbed the non-umod zip archive, you'll need to create a shortcut to your UT2003.exe, and set the commandline to add -ini=mm2k3.ini in the shortcut you created.
