This is a guide to setup Unreal Tournament for high res textures using an OpenGL renderer.
UT came with an extra CD that was meant for use with S3 graphic cards running MeTal. This CD contains high res textures that make the game look much better than the standard res graphics using S3TC. There have been several OpenGL renderers that can be used to take advantage of the increased graphics quality on non S3 cards. I've used it with nVidia and ATi cards with very good success. The latest one is available HERE (http://cwdohnal.home.mindspring.com/utglr/) (thanks for the link Kingfish).
To set it up, follow the steps below.
1) Be sure your UT install is patched to version 436
2) Install the high res textures off UT CD #2. If you dont have it, there is no point going any further
3) Unzip and install the OpenGLDrv.dll file in the \UnrealTournament\System directory (rename old one)
4) Modify your UnrealTournament.ini file to look like this: These are my tweaked settings, they may not be optimal for your setup.

Use this if you have an nVidia GForce/2/3/4 card. This forces DXTC1 calls to DXTC3. nVidia had a bad DXTC1 implementation that made certain texturs look ugly. This is the same as the "Ugly Quake3 sky" issue if you are familiar with it.
