How to Benchmark the UT2k4 Demo

Thanks to Digitalwanderer over at Elite Bastards for the Heads up!

Update: I should of credited cms of nVnews for posting the info up.

If, like me, you looked in the benchmark folder and found nothing yet wanted to benchmark, it's possible to do so. UT2004 is basically the same as UT2003 which has the same benchmark folder although it has some files. I copied the files from the UT2003 bennchmark folder into the UT2004 folder (I also had to copy of the contents of the sub-folder called stuff), modified the bat files so they would point to UT2004 instead of 2003,

added the map names into the bat files, and they worked!! Well, mostly anyway: the flyboy benches don't work. When the flyby benches start up, you just sit there. You can use the movement keys to get around but it's worthless for benchmarking. The botmatches work great there. I even made a bat file that starts all maps in botmatch so it's easy to benchmark (just click on that one bat, all the maps will be played/benchmarked).
