How do i run this on linux?
The .log and .ini files which are user related (UPlaylists.ini, User.ini, UT2004.ini, UT2004.log) are stored in $HOME/.ut2004/System, not where the game files are located.
I haven't gotten to installing Chaos yet, but that much is helpful information. I suspect they'll probably be in $HOME/.ut2004/ChaosUT/System but I'll let you know later.

I got Chaos to install on Ubuntu Feisty, the ChaosUT2.ucl file needs to be in the $HOME/.ut2004/System directory. Here's full linux installation instructions for anybody needing them:
1. Download 'ChaosUT2 PRv3.7' & 'ChaosUT2 PRv3.7 to PRv3.75 Patch' (zip installs) to the desktop
2. Open a terminal & change to the desktop folder:
3. Unzip the archives (plus adding the patch):
(answer "A" when asked to replace files)
4. Copy the ChaosUT2 folder into the main ut2004 folder:
5. Copy the ChaosUT2.ucl file to the configuration directory in your home folder:
6. Remove the extracted folders from the desktop:
7. Play:
Hope this is helpful, & cheers for such a class mod!
1. Download 'ChaosUT2 PRv3.7' & 'ChaosUT2 PRv3.7 to PRv3.75 Patch' (zip installs) to the desktop
2. Open a terminal & change to the desktop folder:
Code: Select all
cd ~/Desktop
Code: Select all
unzip cut2pr37_full_zip.zip && unzip cut2pr375_patch_zip.zip
4. Copy the ChaosUT2 folder into the main ut2004 folder:
Code: Select all
sudo cp -R ChaosUT2 /usr/local/games/ut2004
Code: Select all
cp System/ChaosUT2.ucl ~/.ut2004/System/ChaosUT2.ucl
Code: Select all
rm -R ChaosUT2/ && rm -R System/
Code: Select all
/usr/local/games/ut2004/ut2004 -mod="ChaosUT2"
That needs to be qualified.
Before installing Chaos, the UT2004 Megapack and the 3369 patch need to be installed. Both should be extracted to overwrite in the installation location.
Failing to install the Megapack will result in a "Could not spawn a GUI Controller" error in the console (and in the log located in $HOME/.ut2004/ChaosUT2/system/ChaosUT2.log)
Otherwise, those instructions look good.

Ok, I got it to work at last. I'll give a brief overview of what I did (a few of the steps are copied from dodgy's post.) I'm using Sabayon Linux, a Gentoo-based distro, so my instructions are a bit different than distro's like Ubuntu.
1. I installed UT2K4 through Portage.
This installs UT2K4 (the game cd's are required) as well as the 3369 patch and the bonus packs. The last command is required to enter your cd key before you play the game.
2. The game files are located in /opt/ut2004
Download the Chaos mod and patch (zip files) and save them to the desktop. After that, open a terminal and change to your Desktop directory.
3. Unzip the files.
Like dodgy's post states, answer A when it asks to overwrite files.
4. Copy the ChaosUT2 folder into the UT2K4 game files folder.
5. Copy the ChaosUT2.ucl file to the configuration directory in your home folder.
6. Remove the extracted folders from the desktop.
7. Play and enjoy!
1. I installed UT2K4 through Portage.
Code: Select all
emerge --sync
Code: Select all
emerge games-fps/ut2004
Code: Select all
emerge --config =games-fps/ut2004-3369-r4
2. The game files are located in /opt/ut2004
Download the Chaos mod and patch (zip files) and save them to the desktop. After that, open a terminal and change to your Desktop directory.
Code: Select all
cd ~/Desktop
Code: Select all
unzip cut2pr37_full_zip.zip && unzip cut2pr375_patch_zip.zip
4. Copy the ChaosUT2 folder into the UT2K4 game files folder.
Code: Select all
sudo cp -R ChaosUT2 /opt/ut2004
Code: Select all
cp System/ChaosUT2.ucl ~/.ut2004/System/ChaosUT2.ucl
Code: Select all
rm -R ChaosUT2/ && rm -R System/
Code: Select all
ut2004 -mod="ChaosUT2"
