Bonus Content

  • UT Bonus Pack 1 - Three new models, a package containing six related mutators, and 11 maps. Included in the GOTY edition.
  • UT Bonus Pack 2 - Three new mutators and two maps. Included in the GOTY edition.
  • UT Bonus Pack 3 - Two texture packs and six maps. Included in the GOTY edition.
  • UT Bonus Pack 4 - Two new models, two texture packs and twelve new maps.

Graphical Tweaks

The vast majority of graphical tweaks are accomplished by editing the game's .ini configuration files.

D3D9/D3D10/OpenGL/High Res/Widescreen Fix

Installing the Direct3D 10 renderer allows you to play the game in high-resolution, widescreen, and Direct3D 10. There's also a Direct3D 11 renderer (currently no significant changes from D3D10 renderer), D3D9 and OpenGL renderers. Be warned that when playing online you may be kicked from servers using anti-cheat plugins.

High Resolution Textures

Replace the original textures with S3TC Textures and get amazing detail. Do not use these server-side.

Mods

Various modifications, custom content such as characters, maps, mutators, and total-conversion mods can be downloaded and installed for Unreal Tournament.

  • A nice collection of mods at Mod DB

Maps

Maps are custom levels that are created using mod tools or editors.

  • You can find over 400 unreal tournament maps at Map Factory

Installing on Linux

The process shown below is best used with the Steam version of Unreal Tournament: GOTY.[citation needed]

Easy Mode

flibitijibibo has taken the liberty of making an unofficial installer that automates the process seen below. If you own the game, download the installer here: http://www.flibitijibibo.com/fedora/installers/flibitUT436.tar.gz

Hard Mode

Step 1: Downloads

1. The Steam version of UT GotY

2. The Loki installer (links are at the bottom): http://www.lokigames.com/products/ut/updates.php3

Step 2: Moving the Steam Stuff

Let's assume we are in the UT folder in steamapps (typically ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Steam/steamapps/common/unreal\ tournament/). Let's also assume that we are installing our game in ~/Games/UT/. Here are the commands that you should enter:

mv Help/ ~/Games/UT/Help/
mv Maps/ ~/Games/UT/Maps/
mv Music/ ~/Games/UT/Music/
mv Sounds/ ~/Games/UT/Sounds/
mkdir ~/Games/UT/System/
mv System/*.u ~/Games/UT/System/
mv System/*.int ~/Games/UT/System/
mv Textures/ ~/Games/UT/Textures/
mv Web/ ~/Games/UT/Web/

At this point you should be able to delete UT from Steam without any problems.

Step 3: Unpacking the Loki Installer

What makes UT difficult to install (and likely why you're here) is that the installer requires the CDs to run. Luckily the installer can be passed some arguments to unpack it so that we can manipulate what the installer actually copies to the UT installation. Assuming the installer is in ~/Games/Installers/:

sh unreal.tournament_436-multilanguage.goty.run --noexec --target unpacked

The resulting folder "unpacked/" should contain the installer's packages!

Step 4: Moving the Loki Stuff

The first thing we do is unpack (tar xvfz) the following packages:

  • Credits.tar.gz - Will unpack to a Textures/ folder
  • data.tar.gz - Will unpack to a System/ folder
  • NetGamesUSA.com.tar.gz - Will unpack to a NetGamesUSA.com/ folder
  • OpenGL.ini.tar.gz - Will unpack to a System/ folder
  • UT436-OpenGLDrv-Linux-090602.tar.gz - Will unpack to a System/ folder

Due to most of these unpacking to System/, I suggest doing these moves one at a time...

For the following sets of moves we are assuming that the Steam UT copy is in ~/Games/UT/ and this unpacked installer is in ~/Games/Installers/unpacked/. We are currently in the latter folder.

Non-package Moves
mv ut.xpm ~/Games/UT/
mv README.Loki ~/Games/UT/
mv bin/ut ~/Games/UT/
mv bin/Linux/x86/ucc ~/Games/UT/
Credits.tar.gz
mv Textures/credits.utx ~/Games/UT/Textures/
data.tar.gz
rm System/UnrealTournament.ini.PATCH
mv System/* ~/Games/UT/System/
NetGamesUSA.com.tar.gz
mv NetGamesUSA.com/ ~/Games/UT/
OpenGL.ini.tar.gz
mv System/UnrealTournament.ini ~/Games/UT/System/
UT436-OpenGLDrv-Linux-090602.tar.gz
mv System/OpenGLDrv.so ~/Games/UT/System/

Running the Game

To run the game, just run "ut" in the root of the installation folder.

Unreal Editor

There is no Linux version of the Unreal Editor. However, there is a native version of the UCC. To run that, run "ucc" in the root of the installation folder.

Getting Audio with ALSA/PulseAudio

The game uses OSS for the audio output. Therefore, if you use ALSA/PulseAudio, the game will not have audio. To fix this, install either alsa-oss.i686 or pulseaudio-utils.i686 (or your distro's equivalent). It must be the 32-bit version!

Then you can run the game with ALSA/PulseAudio's OSS wrappers. For PulseAudio, run...

padsp ./ut

For ALSA...

aoss ./ut

If you are on ALSA but are using a 64-bit OS, run...

aoss -32 ./ut

If should be noted that these wrappers result in a HUGE amount of latency (we're talking up to half a second of lag). If you are aware of any solutions to this issue, please include it here.

Alternatively you can also install OSS Proxy Daemon. OSS Proxy Daemon is a Linux userland OSS sound device (/dev/[a]dsp and /dev/mixer) implementation using CUSE. Currently it supports forwarding OSS sound streams to PulseAudio and ALSA.

sudo apt-get install osspd

One possible fix for audio latency is to change the AudioDevice in UnrealTournament.ini.

Change

AudioDevice=ALAudio.ALAudioSubsystem

to

AudioDevice=Audio.GenericAudioSubsystem

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/13240/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (13240) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
