Yeah, you need to uncompress the maps. Sadly I can't think for the life of me how to do this...aha, hang on, here's a script:

Code:

#!/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! ::.."

I didn't write this script, so I'm not gonna take the credit, but it's the one I used when I had the same issue. Oh, and do as it says and edit the path in the script to suit your UT install dir.
Save the script to a file, do 'chmod +x filename' on the script and then run it (as root)

thanks for that it worked

got another problem though, the game play is really slow using SDL openGL any advice on this ?

Are you using DRI drivers for your graphics card? Which graphics card are you using?

JMK · 04-17-2004, 11:19 AM

its a s3 pro savage DDR so im not sure ...

Hmmm, so probably not using graphics acceleration. You could try using the software drivers.
Try

Code:

ut -software

and see if that works, otherwise you have to edit the UnrealTournament.ini file in the ut System directory and change the game engine renderer from GLRenderDevice (or whatever it is) to SoftwareRenderDevice. Not sure entirely, might pay to search google.
