Yep. Right click on the zip files and click extract all. Point it at C:\UT2003 (assuming thats where ut2003 is installed) and hit extract. That should take care of the installation.

Personally i would say read the docs that are in the help directory of your UT2003\Help\ChaosUT2 folder. It will tell you how to set up your controls and stuff in game.

I already did. I copied the system files to the system directory, the animation files to the animation directory and so on. In the game i can select the game types "chaos UT KotH" and "Chaos UT Team KotH", but if I want to start there are this warning: "cant´t find file for package ´Chaos_Extras 1`.
Whats my mistake?

I think thats one of the animation files.

However, if you use the extract all function instead of manually seperating out the files, it will automatically put them in the right spots.

Try that. I'm going to double check to make sure that file is in the 1.01 zip download.

Edit: yep i see it in the zip file i just got. Make sure you have a Chaos Extras file of some type in your animations folder.

It works!!! Thanks!

Make sure you have the 2225 patch. People who have gotten that error in the past usually had not gotten it or had forgotten to install it.

Hey, I downloaded the chaosut2 and the patch and mappack1 from fileplanet. I have unzipped the patch and mappack files into my UT2003 directory - when it asked me if i wanted to overwrite soem files i said yes to all - but now i can only play the Dungeon and Pyramid levels (not the MistyValley and SwampTemple) for KOTH. What did i do wrong?

if you get the full 1.02 version you dont need the patch. Try re-installing the mappack. Im guessing if you did a manual install you missed one of the side packages (i had the same problem when i was missing one of the texture files i think)

JRansak · Post by **JRansak** » Mon Sep 01, 2003 2:42 am

I did what you said and dl the 1.02 patch (idon't know what you mean by full version, but the patch is the only thing labelled with '1.02' on chaoticdreams.org) which asked to overwrite the file that was already there (so apparently i already had it) and reinstalled the mappack by unzipping the file to my UT2003 folder. While loading the next board, it said "failed launching URL|can't find file for package 'Skies.'" My readme file for the mappack said to double click on the umod file, but there wasn't a umod so i unzipped it as i told you.

What's goin on???

JRansak.. I think your best bet is to install this file...

http://www.fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?plane ... l_umod.zip

Its the full v1.02 umod so it will automatically install. Don't reinstall the mappack, that should be fine.

Let us know how it goes...

i dl and installed the CUT2_PR102_full_umod, but it didn't change how the maps responded. They all still say "failed launching URL|can't find file for package 'Skies.'" when loading the level - whether it's MistyValley, SwampTemple, or even the new Swamps level. I think i need to do something more specific than unzip the maps into the UT2003 folder. Like manually place the stuff in maybe the textures and the Maps folders under the UT2003 directory (mainly b/c've how the computer reacts to me trying to load these maps) . I don't know which files go where, but this seriously puts a limit on how long i'll play KOTH compared to other gametypes (not enough variation in the environment or map)

do you have both bonus packs?

FurrySound · Post by **FurrySound** » Mon Sep 01, 2003 4:57 am

and the mappack should place everything in the right folder for you automatically.. the umod would do it during installation and the zip has the folder structure in it....

If you do have both Epics and DE's bonus packs installed, copy/paste the part of your log file that shows the error... include 10 lines before and after the error itself so we can see if there is anything else standing out..
