Braveheart1980, if you have lots of space this is for you because it worked for me, its gona take you longer. It was posted before but no on noticed.

What you do.
in your /home/username/ dir copy each disk into new files called 1, 2, 3. It could take you long.
Then make sure supermount is off (not sure if its the case but I did it anyway. Make sure there is no disks in the drives.
Rename file 3 and call it ut2003
in a terminal type
export SETUP_CDROM=/home/username/ut2003
then run the sh installer
when it asks for the next disk, rename ut2003 back to 3 and then rename 1 to ut2003. Go back and click yes or ok. Do this with all the disks and its gona go.
I know its a bit dirty but it works

Copy a whole cd 2 a file?Do you mean directory?

Braveheart1980 01-28-2004 02:46 AM

(1) My installation stops @ a file called /extras/ip_passthrough.pl which doesn't exist in any of the cd's! Can someone else check if there is such file in any of the 3 ut2003 cd's?

(2) even with the supermount disabled + export SETUP_CDROM=.. the installer keeps trying to mount my cdrom!

Braveheart1980 01-28-2004 06:42 AM

Hmmmm. I think i might have a bad copy of ut2003 , since that file (/extras/ip_passthrough.pl ) doesn't exists in any of my 3 cd's.

Can anyone find a file like that in any of the ut2003 cd's??

Anyone??

yes, you should have 3 disks, copy them to files 1,2,3 acordingly
(/extras/ip_passthrough.pl ) does exist, it says it can't find it because it can't find the disk.

Are you doing it my way?

what i do everytime i install it:

mount 3rd cd and cp the installer to my home directory. unmount the 3rd cd and put in the 1st cd. start the installer file. ingnore all the messages about /dev/fd0 or other cdrom drives. let it sit, if u think its frozen give it some time, its really llow the hard drive might not show any activity either. when it asks for disk one, insert disk 2, when it asks for disk 2 insert disk 3.

Bad luck 4 me. I have manually searched all the 3 cd's and couldn't find ip_passthrough.pl ..... My damn luck ... i have a bad copy of ut2003 ! Amazing !

I would like anyway 2 thank anyone who tried (desperately sometimes !) 2 help me bout this..

!!!!!!THANK YOU!!!!!

cyborg_jt 01-28-2004 07:29 PM

no you df
The file is there!
It could be hidden or something.

Do this, copy all disk. If you can copy them then nothing is missing. Just do it!

Braveheart1980 01-31-2004 07:13 PM

Amazing!! I got this problem fixed AT LAST!

I got another copy of ut2003 which also didn't have ip_passthrough.pl in the 3rd cd's extra directory. BUT i had downloaded the ut2003 demo which had that file and the only thing i had 2 do was to follow cyborg_jt's directions to copy cd's etc and also copy that file to the 3rd cd's extra directory!!! Maybe here in sunny greece we get bad copys of great games! What can i say! Just a big THANK YOU to everybody and especially icculus (who had answered me in dt time!) , cyborg_jt and everyone else!!!!

Happy gaming and may the penguin be with you!:) :D ;) :cool: :p :jawa: :eek:

One more thing : I installed the game as a regular user to a /home/username/games/ut2003 directory but whenever i try to run it i get :

"
[george@localhost ut2003]$ ./ut2003

If i execute the ut2003 as root everything's ok and the game rocks. What's goin' on?

Braveheart1980 02-02-2004 12:38 AM

Another thing :

To run the game with ati radeon cards fine ( i @ least have 9600 pro and it worked 3 me) u must have fsaa multi sample forced to 6 samples (it's somewhere in the fglrxconfig)

shadowhunter 02-06-2004 03:33 PM

strange stuff...

reinstall and try again :D.

Oh, and get debian or slack.
