UT2004 maps

[james016]

Can I copy the ones from a Windows installation to my Linux copy or is this a bad idea?

[jISh]

Sure why not?

A better question: is there a cache cleaner for linux?

Basically, it takes all the maps that you've cached and changes them into their rightful names and places them (and associated textures/sounds) into the proper folder.

There is a tool for it, but I could never get it to compile. So it's probably not going to work. You can still try it of course.

Neat script indeed, thanks for posting back! ;)

And on topic, if there was still any doubt... Yes, you can copy .ut2 UT2004 maps straight from your windows box.

Editing maps however is different, Ryan Gordon(from icculus.org) has been hinting that UT2007's editor may finally run on linux. Take that with a pinch of salt of course.

To compile this you just have to call ./autogen.sh instead of ./configure. But that's also written in the INSTALL file. ;)
Here's my result:

(this is a "proper" .deb and not created with checkinstall)
