UT2k4Mod.Ini

The UT2k4.ini File is used when creating a mod using the inbuilt mod system included with UT2k4. It contains Descriptions and links to your mod, modlogo and even your mod's url.

When using the -mod= switch in UT2k4 it will look for this file in your ModRootDir if found it will load the custom ini files.

In truth, the content of this file is only referenced by the "User Mods" tab of the community menu. Think of it as the "definition" file for you mod. It contains the the various text and options needed to fill out that menu. – UDN
