Option 3. Like in the original RTNP, too. That's the most handy solution for players.

I just need to figure out how to set up such an option. Is there a commandline to use in a batch file that runs UT with a specific game folder?

I have no notion of batch files, but I think, the most comfortable way would be a batch file, which duplicates your UnrealTournament.ini, changes some properties like console or player class or map folder and then starts UT with the new ini:
UnrealTournament.exe -ini=MyNewIni.ini
UnrealTournament.exe -ini=MyNewIni.ini

Yeah, that sounds like a good method to use. How would I get the batch file to change individual properties of the INI file? I'm not sure that's possible.

Option 3 for sure

Option 3 if you can find out how. Option 2 as a close second.

Duplicate the Unreal Tournament ini file, rename it, do the aforementioned startup modification to the shortcut, then change LocalMap= right at the top of the .ini to the RtNP flyby, then go down to the [Engine.Engine] section just below that and change Console= to whatever console class you want to use. Given, I'm not entirely sure how well this will go over for some people. I'd suggest using a fresh UT install's .ini file (or a fresh one with 436 patch applied, if there are any differences), and then make the above changes, so that they can configure the RtNP .ini independently from UT's defaults. Then make the shortcut what you need it to be. Also, in the same .ini, make changes like this to the [Core.System] section:
Should be changed to:
Of course, change the 7Bullets to whatever sub-folder of the UT directory you wish. After that, put this pack's personal packages where they need to be inside maps, system, textures, sounds, and music folders. After that, it should all work out. I wouldn't be the least surprised if I missed something, so try it out and see if it works for you.
- Paths=../System/*.u
Paths=../Maps/*.unr
Paths=../Textures/*.utx
Paths=../Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../Music/*.umx
Should be changed to:
- Paths=../System/*.u
Paths=../7Bullets/System/*.u
Paths=../7Bullets/Maps/*.unr
Paths=../Textures/*.utx

A prepared INI in the download would change all your graphic settings like resolution, graphic/audio drivers and Direct3D values. I would rather like being told, which 5 lines I have to change by myself than having to reconfigure all those settings afterwards.

I agree. Having the original UnrealTournament.ini duplicated and modified is the best option, although we still don't know how that's possible. I'm not sure that is possible without writing a new .exe file, which I know nothing about.

I was looking at the end battle with the Warlord, and I honestly believe it was a huge mistake that it uses EndEx for the battle music. I'm going to change this to Mountain Section 1, as Hellscrag talked about in his music article. Also, I was thinking about changing the end music (as you walk to the escape ship) to UnrealS.umx from the Unreal 95 Tech Demo. As soon as I launched this track the other day, it made me think of ending music. I like it a lot, and it doesn't fit anything else. Any opinions on this?
Yes.

I think UnrealS.umx would be a great alternative for the end music. IMO EndEx seemed rather mundane as the ending section for RtNP because it was also used as end music for Unreal. Seemed repetitive. UnrealS is a great and exciting song, I've only heard it from the CD that came with the strategy guide. I approve!

I figure, this is not really the true version of rtnp. This isn't setting out to say, fix up all the bugs and leave the core experience unchanged. This is rtnp; reimagined. With that in mind, take your creative license the whole way, go nuts and do whatever! Change everything

Well, I still want to keep RTNP intact the way it's supposed to be. Basically, I'm just changing small things here and there to make it more polished, which is how it should have been in the first place. I have a feeling the entire project was rushed somewhere near the end to meet a deadline. There are many overlooked things that could have easily been fixed with more extensive playtesting. The music for the Warlord, for example, was probably not meant to be EndEx. This was most likely overlooked, like everything else. I just now spent another 6 hours aligning more textures. This time it was Glathriel1 and Glathriel2. I'm am so through with aligning textures for Matthias Worch levels! I did some lighting tweaks in Glathriel1, because I felt lots of the rock textures were ugly without bright corners. Here is the difference with lighting tweaks and texture alignments:

Please please please please please please change the skybox. Those extremely tiny, obviously tiling stars were the only thing that annoyed me about Glathriel Village...! Make the star texture bigger or something.
