I just installed UT2004 to a local dir /home/carlos/ut2004 & I downloaded the latest patch from unreals website called ut2004-lnxpatch3339.tar.bz2 which is saved to /home/carlos
- How exactly do I install or apply this patch?
- Also are there any map packs or anything like that I will need when I play online?
All you have to do is extract the file and then cut and paste into the UT2004 folder and you will have the patch installed and the same goes for the maps that you can download and install. There are some map packs that you can find and download.
well I know in KDE you can right click on the file and chose extract here and it will create the folder and what not for you then you can just cut and paste the files into your UT2004 dir.
But in cmd line I think it is tar -xvfj ut2004-lnxpatch3339.tar.bz2
then you know the rest.
What did I do wrong? As you can see I did everything from my home directory since I have the game saved in /home/carlos/ut2004 and now the patch has been untarred in a directory called /home/carlos/UT2004-Patch
Code:
[carlos@server ~]$ ls
Desktop mp3 ut2004
files NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1 ut2004-lnxpatch3339.tar.bz2
icons pics wallpaper
movies sarge-i386-netinst.iso
[carlos@server ~]$ tar -jxvf ut2004-lnxpatch3339.tar.bz2

Originally posted by Phorem carwill, use the script i posted above. It does it all for you :-) Just right click it and save as.
I clicked on the link and see it some kind of script but when I save it to my directory /home/carlos, what do I do then? Sorry, just want to be sure I don't mess this up.
