Unreal Tournament Problem. Please help..

[Pliskin]

I've installed UT, using the ut-install-436.run, but all my maps end with unr.uz Which then causes UT not starting up at all. I get the following error when trying to run ut:

Unreal engine initialized
Bound to SDLDrv.so
Joystick [0] : Unknown Joystick
SDLClient initialized.
Bound to Render.so
Lighting subsystem initialized
Rendering initialized
LoadMap: Entry
Failed to load 'Entry': Can't find file 'Entry'
Failed to load 'Level None.MyLevel': Can't find file 'Entry'
appError called:
Failed to enter Entry: Can't find file 'Entry'
Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError
Executing USDLClient::ShutdownAfterError
Signal: SIGIOT [iot trap]
Aborting.
Exiting.
Name subsystem shut down

Please help me out.

btw, I use mandrake 8.2 if it's any help.

I haven't used UT on Linux for a while but just a quick thought, are the directory and file permissions correct?

[Pliskin]

I'm pretty sure they are. As the installer created the folders. And it doesn't matter wether I try running it as Root or as a user.

Q: UT appears to have installed properly, but the game keeps complaining about a missing 'Entry' and exiting!
A: Under some circumstances (such as using an unsupported CD), the maps are not uncompressed during the installation. The opening screen of Unreal Tournament is actually a map, called "Entry", which should be named usr/local/games/ut/Maps/Entry.unr if this file is missing, the installation was not successful and you should make sure that you are using the correct installer for your CD. If the file is present but is named Entry.unr.uz, it is still compressed. Since the maps were not shipped on the retail UT CD in a compressed format, you are either trying to use a GOTY CD (or one of the other, unsupported, Unreal Tournament releases) with the regular installer, or the uncompression step failed. If you have a number of .uz files in your /usr/local/games/ut/Maps/ directory, you will need to uncompress them after the installation. A description for doing so follows:

#!/bin/sh
# FILENAME: convert.sh
#
# Change this to YOUR install-dir of UT
#
INSTALLDIR=/usr/local/games/ut

cd $INSTALLDIR/System

for i in ../Maps/*.unr.uz
do
ucc decompress $i -nohomedir
done

mv *.unr ../Maps

cd ../Maps
for f in *.unr
do
rm $f.uz
done

echo "..:: Done! ::.."

Hehe...sorry if I laugh at the, I couldn't help it :D

What you need to do is make a file and add those lines to the file, save it and make it executable (chmod +x file)

What you need to put in a file (I like gedit for this so...)

# gedit utfix.sh

Paste this into the file below this........

#!/bin/sh
# FILENAME: convert.sh
#
# Change this to YOUR install-dir of UT
#
INSTALLDIR=/usr/local/games/ut

cd $INSTALLDIR/System

for i in ../Maps/*.unr.uz
do
ucc decompress $i -nohomedir
done

mv *.unr ../Maps

cd ../Maps
for f in *.unr
do
rm $f.uz
done

echo "..:: Done! ::.."

:)Do not add this line :)
save the file and close gedit then type "chmod +x utfix.sh"
then type "sh utfix.sh"

GAME ON!

I finally got it working. Thanks so much for all your help! :)
