Can't install UT

[Phys1c5]

i installed ut version 436 and when i run it, it keeps giving me this error:

Unreal engine initialized
Bound to SDLDrv.so
Joystick [0] : Unknown Joystick
SDLClient initialized.

Lighting subsystem initialized

LoadMap: Entry
Failed to load 'Entry': Can't find file 'Entry'

Executing UObject::StaticShutdownAfterError

Can anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong? I would really like to get this working so I can run Tactical Ops

It looks like you might of used the wrong installer for it. Do you have the regular version or the game of the Year edition? There are seperate installers for these and if you use the wrong one it will not uncompress the maps.

You can
A) Find the correct installer
or
B) Manually uncompress all the map files

I'd go for A because it is easier...the Loki FAQ mentions this also.

I figured ut out, it's the damn installer, it didn't properly rename ANY of the ut files, because of Linux's case-sensitivity, i'm looking for a script that can help me with it...

...the installers were made for Linux and they are modified to be case-insensitive so it will still read all the files correctly, If you have the GOTY you need the GOTY installer, if you don't you need the regular installer. Also the disks that Creative put out with their SB Live! Gamer require a specific installer...

cool! i was wondering if my Creative Labs UT would be able to be installed. Where can I download the installer for it?

Whoops, I fibbed a little, I thought there was an installer for itbut... from the Linux Gamers FAQ (http://icculus.org/lgfaq)
Q: Why doesn't Unreal Tournament seem to be installing properly with the installer provided by Loki?
A: There are many different versions of Unreal Tournamenmt, most likely, you have the wrong installer for the version you are using. The 'Best of Infogrames' and 'Totally Unreal' versions of the game aren't supported at all. While you can install using a plain UT retail CD (you'll note the CD is blue, as is the jewel case). Or, from a Game of The Year edition CD (red cd, red jewel case).
A: The CD that came with your creative card may work if you get /really/ heavy on it, but it's actually unlikely. It doesn't simply install & work. At the moment, you can get a pack with UT, UnrealI, and Return to Na Pali for about 20 bucks; at least two of those will run in linux...
So it sounds like try install, try install, try install, beat it a few more times and hope it works. I have no idea how Creative messed it up so you need a special install for it, I do remember seeing Creative specific patchs for Windows, me bad :(...
Maybe you can talk TheGimp into making one :D

get the ut 428 installer (ftp://ftp.lokigames.com/pub/patches/ut/ut-install-428.run), and the nodelta 436 patch (http://icculus.org/~ravage/ut/ut-436-nodelta.run) (31MB). This seems to be your best bet :)


The reason the non-GOTY 436 installer doesn't work is because it runs a patch at the end of the install to bring the data from 400 to 436. I've heard the Creative version is 432, but the 428 installer seems to work fine, and log files I have seen report it as 428 :confused:
