Unable to open 2027's Game.u in UEd2 (Using the hacked version for DX)

[EXetoC]

I googled this issue and someone recommended placing the actors in UEd1 in case they couldn't be loaded UEd2, but that doesn't work well at all. The relevant errors are on the bottom of this log, and loading all the 2027 stuff via the config file for the editor doesn't make any difference (Except that the editor won't even start, since it does the checking at an earlier state).

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

As far as I remember, you need to strip the code from .u using the program which came with UEd2 for Deus Ex.

I also remember that when I tried to do the same thing ages ago for 2027's packages, the program crashed.

[EXetoC]

Right. Well some people seem to be able to do certain things in UEd1 and then open the map in UEd2 after having saved the changes. But i'm not sure how, because if not all things can be loaded in UEd2 then how can the map be loaded properly? The map is empty if i open it in UEd2.

But i'm not sure how, because if not all things can be loaded in UEd2 then how can the map be loaded properly?

The program I mentioned removes all code from a package, leaving only declarations. This way the stripped package doesn't conflict with Unreal (or was it UT?) packages that come with UEd2. This is not always needed though.

Doesn't UnrealED2 come with its own UCC?

Ok. I've only found ways to extract individual classes from .u files.

Is UCC supposed to be able to do what Ded is referring to? This hacked version for DX doesn't seem to come with UCC, but i do have it already since i've installed the DX SDK.

build.exe... I thought it came with UEd2, apparently it didn't

Hmm strange... my Ued2 folder contains an ucc.exe.

Ehh, you say that program modifies a compiled package instead of the source files?
That required to clean several imports out of the import table, along with all exports that base on them.

I don't remember

You can see what it does by comparing DeusEx.u from UEd2/ (1.9MB) with the original DeusEx.u from System/ (5.9MB)

Hmm strange... my Ued2 folder contains an ucc.exe.

Actually, It says that ucc.exe was created a couple of days ago, so the original application must've been replaced when I installed the editing pack.

build.exe... I thought it came with UEd2, apparently it didn't

Thanks. It might've been removed in the hacked version.

The application doesn't seem to do what it's supposed to however.
All "build Game" does is create an empty directory called Game.u. And also, it says it wants a package, but it's looking for Game\Classes, which shouldn't contain any packages. Perhaps the author is using the wrong terminology.

A package is this according to the Beyond Unreal wiki:

A package refers to ANY of the Unreal file formats - such as: .u, .ut2, .utx, .uax, .umx, .uz2, .uxx, .usx (can also be a combination of any of these files! )

[~ô¿ô~Nobody~]

So yeah, source files such as .uc don't count to that.
Apart of that.. unreal packages (compiled with one engine version) origin all the same format.
