Yeh any way of getting it to work without to much messing around is cool !!. Unfortunately I used the Gnome installer which installed in less than 30 secs. the cd hadn't even moved in the drive.... much later after hacking the script to use the cd path correctly. it installed ok but I was getting errors starting the executable. ( This tends to put me off installing stuff a lot under Linux) Surj

Hi,

** Hi, how'd you get UT to work.... ?

Easy(ish). I wouldn't bother if you're a newbie (if you are).

Requirements:- o Quickish processor (I use P3-500) o 3Dfx Accelerator card (I use Voodoo 3 3000 AGP) o Decent sound card (I use SBLive!) o Lots of RAM (128M+)

how to:- o Install all the Glide_v3 package bits and dev3dfx

o Use SaX to set the card up with the following modes available by Ctrl-Alt-+/- :- 1280x1024x16 (or whatever you use as normal) 640x480x16

o Copy the contents of the UT CD to ~/bin/UnrealTournament

o Get UT-Linux-400A.tar.gz off http://unreal.epicgames.com/

o untar it somewhere safe and untar all the tars in it.

o Copy all the files from System, Help etc where you untarred it to ~/bin/UnrealTournament/whatever

(The dirs should match - you'll see)

o $ rm ~/bin/UnrealTournament/System/UnrealTournament.ini

o $ cp ~/bin/UnrealTournament/System/Default.ini \ ~/bin/UnrealTournament/System/UnrealTournament.ini

o $ cd ~/bin/UnrealTournament/System

o $ ./UnrealTournament

Yay it worked. Don't use the provided installer - it's shit and relies on the greatest sin of man - Gnome. Manually copying the files is also a fair bit quicker.

Thats a start. It might take more figglifying on different hardware. You need Glide, as OpenGL cards aren't supported well yet. The mouse also sometimes fucks the screen up, but you can kill that by logging in with a failsafe session and moving the mouse to the top left of the screen (hackish but it works!).

If you, or anyone else needs any help, I may write a script or too (or even an RPM :-) to install it all and install the 402 update (not for the faint hearted). Any requests????

HtH

- Chris.
