Unreal Tournament?

[v79]

Hey Guys

Recently installed UT on windows, and now i'm trying for ubuntu. I downloaded an installed (v. 436) from the net, and it installed fine. But I can't get it to run:

$ /usr/local/games/ut/ut
Unreal engine initialized
Bound to SDLDrv.so
Joystick [0] : Unknown Joystick
SDLClient initialized.
Bound to Render.so
Lighting subsystem initialized
Rendering initialized
LoadMap: Entry
appError called:
ReadFile beyond EOF 0+4/0
Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError
Executing USDLClient::ShutdownAfterError
Signal: SIGIOT [iot trap]
Aborting.
Exiting.
Name subsystem shut down

Google hasn't been very forthcoming on this one. None of the solutions suggested seem to apply to these errors. Can anyone help?

These guys are the ones that ported UT to Linux for Epic Games, so they might be able to help.

I remember issues with UT installer and the map files post install - they were installed in a compressed format. If the Maps directory contains a bunch of *.unr.uz files that's the problem. If so, try this script:


#!/bin/bash

INSTALLDIR=***CHANGE THIS TO YOUR UT INSTALL DIRECTORY***

cd $INSTALLDIR/System

for i in `ls ../Maps/*.unr.uz`
do
ucc decompress ../Maps/$i -nohomedir
done

rm ../Maps/*unr.uz
mv *.unr ../Maps

Hope I got the syntax - it's from memory. I also had permissions issues - chmod all the datafiles +r. If you can handle the new Google Groups interface try that - it has more help than the web search. If you read Usenet you could try loki.games.ut on news.lokigames.com, but I doubt that group is very active these days.

did you ever manage to get it to run?

i keep getting the following error:

$ ut
dirname: too few arguments
Try `dirname --help' for more information.
Couldn't run Unreal Tournament (ut-bin). Is UT_DATA_PATH set?

I'm not sure if this is applicable or not, but I used this guide (http://www.princessleia.com/UT.html) to install UT GOTY, and it worked great.

Hope that helps.

I tried the guide above, and I still get the same error blah09 got!

Can anybody else shed some light on this?

You need to set the UT_DATA_PATH variable to point to ut's system files. Try the following command before running ut:

export UT_DATA_PATH=/usr/games/ut/System
If that doesn't work try this:

export UT_DATA_PATH=/usr/local/games/ut/System
or replace the path value with the one that is correct for your system.

I've just written a guide about this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82987

There's how I did it.

[Biased turkey]

I tried to install UT-GOTY butthat didn,t work so I downloaded UT from:
ftp://sunsite.dk/mirrors/lokigames/patches/ut/ut-install-436.run

Then followed the install procedure:
As sudo
mount /cdrom ( I don't think it was necessary, can't remember )
sudo bash ut-install-436.run

I still have to type:
export UT/DATA_PATH=/usr/local/games/ut/System

then type:
ut
to start the game.

I have 2 rigs ( both with Ubuntu 5.10 ) and installed UT on both of them.
The one with an Nvidia Geforce 6600 works nicely, the other one with a radeon 9600 is giving some sound proble, but the graphics are OK.

I'm not an UT fanatic, just install it, fire a few rounds to test my graphic card installation then exit the game.

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu 6.10 x86_64.

I installed ia32-libs, ia32-libs-gtk, ia32-libs-openoffice.org, ia32-libs-sdl, ia32-sun-java5-bin, lib32asound2, lib32gcc1 , lib32ncurses5, lib32stdc++6, lib32z1.

I installed UT99 with sucess.

When I run ut, I get the following error:



jurandy@weise:/usr/local/games/ut/System$ linux32 ./ut

Is there any way I can make it work???

I resolved the problem.

The www.liflg.org create a new ut99 installer with 64bit support.

I downloaded http://www.liflg.org/?what=dl&catid=6&gameid=51&filename=unreal.tournament_436-multilanguage.run
and installed ut99.

When I ran the game I got the following error:


"/usr/local/bin/ut: 29: Syntax error: Bad substitution"

I applied this patch:


--- ut.tmp 2007-01-26 11:28:00.000000000 -0200
+++ ut 2007-01-26 11:54:57.000000000 -0200

else
return 1
fi


And the game ran with sucess.

I'm getting the same error myself.


"/usr/local/bin/ut: 29: Syntax error: Bad substitution"

How does one go about applying this patch?

[celettu]

No patch is needed. Just type


sudo dpkg-reconfigure bash

and answer "no".

Edgy uses dash instead of bash...

I fixed mine bady by installing all mods on XP then ripping the whole install to cd and copying the files to Ubuntu install
