Chaotic Dreams

BTW No4 do any other mods show this trouble?

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.

Thanks Mass!

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!

Thanks Dodgy

did you try the above? Or ensure you followed those steps?

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.

Thanks Mass!

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!

Gawk,

all that work to enjoy a mod!! Sorry its not as easy but thanks for your effort as we will have to make sure to look at this thread in any future linux issues! Glad you got it to work!
