Mapping Errors

This may be off topic but it does relate to maps so...here's my question.

I just installed unreal tournament 2003 on my new computer after I did a few formats and all..yeah.. The problem is, I went into unrealred to start and try working on some maps and I can't select anything. I can build a new room or cube or something, then I try and click on a wall to select it's texture and it just won't select! I can click it so many times and nothing. I've tried using shift+click, alt+click, everything.

I want to avoid reinstalling unreal since Id have to redownload all the patches and stuff... If I select a texture and then build a room then that texture will come up but I can't click to change it for the ceiling or floor.

Any help here would be seriously helpful...

Edit: I just got into a command window and when I click to select a wall, it says "Cmd: Fire" I dunno if this will help or not but...yeah...

Are you sure it's not registering? Make sure it's set to dynamic view (that little joystick button next to all the other window options). If this isn't the case, then perhaps you need to install the Ued patch that comes on the disk. If neither of these help, I have no idea what you could do.

Dynamic view..on or off..doesn't work. I tried looking on the discs for a patch but couldn't find one. I went and found a download on the net and overwrite the engine.dll file but now unrealed won't work at all... I'll try reinstalling it now and if it still doesn't work I'll let you know...

I just reinstalled it, without patches, didn't work. Applied the patch and bonus pack...still not working. I'd bet it's the fact that in the command log it's saying "Cmd: Fire" whenever I click or something...I dunno though...

maybe make sure anti-aliasing is off, that causes a similar problem i think.

Also, what operating system are you using? If you are using Windows 98 it can get very iffy.

I have anti-aliasing on with my video card so that's probably it... I run Windows XP Pro and on my old computer (same OS but different everything else..) it worked just fine.

I just looked at my video card's settings and I had anti-aliasing on so I put it on application preference (you can't turn it off...just down to 2x) and loaded back up unrealed and it's still not working...

Sorry, I'm out of ideas.

This person had the same problem:

Fixed by disabling anti-aliasing.

I got this Rage3D program and I still can't get anti-aliasing off. All I can lower it to is Application Preference and at that it still won't work. If it helps any...I have an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro...

Make sure anisotropic filtering is off too. If that doesn't work:

i've got an nvidia card, but maybe try this:

Start -> Control Panel -> Display -> Settings (tab) -> Advanced

Then there should be a tab with the name of your graphics card, somewhere in there you might have a slider with AA settings. Off is 2nd on my slider. (it goes: App Pref; Off; 2x; something weird; 4x;...)

Otherwise, if you can only have it set to application preference, then maybe root around in your ini files for an AntiAlias setting or something similar.

I still don't see it, I don't think it's there:

Try clicking the application preference tab for anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. There is probably a setting in the UT2003.ini file for these features.
