HOW TO: Install Unreal Tournament on Ubuntu

HOW TO: Install Unreal Tournament on Ubuntu.

This howto will teach howto install unreal tournament under ubuntu (Breezy, but i guess it will work on dapper too). We use the old loki installer with some fixes to get it working.

Step 0.
First of all, be sure your video drivers are properly working (if opengl games or opengl screensaver runs smooth, your okay!)! Also, you need a Unreal Tournament cd and some basic linux knowledge.

Step 1.
Download ut-install-436.run from:

http://www.3ddownloads.com/linuxgame...nstall-436.run

Step 2.
Make it executable:
sudo chmod +x ut-install-436.run

Step 3.
Let's begin the install. Because ./ut-install-436 doenst run out of the box. we have to use a workaround.
use:
sudo ./ut-install-436 --keep

this will create a ut-436/ map, (eg. you downloaded ut-install-436.run on your desktop, ran it, then you should have a ut-436/ map on your desktop /home/<user>/Desktop/ut-436)

Step 4.
Let's complete the install.
Run setup.sh with the following command:
sudo ./setup.sh (if not executable already do: chmod +x setup.sh)

It will ask for the UT Cd (if you have GOTY, insert the first one)

If the installer doenst find your UT cd you can set a other mounting point with the following command:

sudo export SETUP_CDROM=/path/to/other/location

Example (if you have extracted the cd on your hard drive)
sudo export SETUP_CDROM=/media/hardrive2/Games/UT_CD

Example (if you have more then one cd drive)
sudo export SETUP_CDROM=/media/cdrom1

After the installation is complete. We are almost ready to play.

Step 5.

Another bug workaround. If you now type "ut" in the console, it will give a path error (if not, your can skip this step). To fix this try the following:

sudo export UT_DATA_PATH=UT_DATA_PATH=/path/to/ut/System (Installers path default for unreal tournament is /usr/local/games/ut)

Step 6.

type ut in the console and you will be able to play unreal tournament properly! If not, return to step 5 and check if the path is correct.

We are done!

I will try to find a fix to install umod packages for ut, if some knows, let me know

Also, there will also maybe a shorter way to install this, these can be found in other threads (use the search). Atleast this should work for all.
