I might misunderstand but now that the official epic servers are disabled I think this repository is now now longer useful?

If so, it might be handy to archive the repository. :-)

The mod is configurable and allows you to specify other master servers. This was a deliberate design decision because I am aware of other communities creating their own master servers, e.g. 333networks (https://ut2004master.333networks.com/ and https://ut2004master.errorist.eu/). For example, you could use the following config to have your server listed in both OpenSpy and 333networks (as well as whatever is the default set in your UT2004.ini):

[MasterServerMirror.MasterServerMirror]
MasterServerList=(Address="utmaster.openspy.net",Port=28902)
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.333networks.com",Port=28902)
MasterServerList=(Address="ut2004master.errorist.eu",Port=28902)

Sidenote: I know that 333networks' master servers are doing synchronization with each other (I think even from OpenSpy), though I'm not sure what will happen if you use this mod to uplink to both of them (duplicate entry in the server list perhaps?).

Oh right. I see. Do you think it's compatible with UT2003 as well? :-) I'd guess it can be since the engine is the same. If you think so how could I try it out? :-)

In its current state probably not. I think it wouldn't take much effort to build it against UT2003 but it will certainly takes some tweaks, mostly the menu itself.

Sorry I misunderstood (was thinking of a different mod). Yes I think this mod should work just fine, but I haven't tested it. :),
