This is from the online version of the Chaos manual:

If you wish to start UT2004 with Chaos already 'activated', you can make a copy of your standard UT2004 desktop shortcut, and add this at the end

-mod="ChaosUT2"

Let us know if it works for you.

I think that what chaos needs is its own loading screen, that would be sexy

First, that is no way to act when you are one of the chosen few that shall rule the world and spread the Reality Distortion Field...

As for that. It doesn't work for me either. I have tried every possible thing. *sigh* Time to go talk to Ryan Gordon... Will get back to you in this thread of his reply...

Thanks Hal!

And just to update the others, it looks like there is some hidden code in UT2004 that displays a mod logo when its in the mod directory. This is not something that you add code to get, it just suppose to happen. Which means its all native magic and thus most likely something that got dropped when the MAC port was done. This is something we most likely can not fix, need Epic on this one

i can see the loading screen but i use windows.. it would be cool to have some kind of short intro movie like in normal UT2004 where the skaarj kicks this person through this logo shoots a bit with a mini and then gets killed by a spidermine! maybe something involving chaos weapons would be cool

How about a swarm of proxies chase the guy of the screen.
