UT2004 Troubles

qjimbo · 11-21-2005, 09:26 AM

Hey all,
I recently installed UT2004 onto my second harddrive (/media/data/ut2004) however any attempt I make to run it seems to fail with a "MissingIni" error, but I don't know what ini it's actually missing. I installed the patch before running it, could that be it?

Code:

qjimbo@europa:/media/data/ut2004/System$ ut2004
MissingIni

History:

Exiting due to error
qjimbo@europa:/media/data/ut2004/System$

And in ut2004.log:

Code:

Log: Log file open, Mon Nov 21 15:19:53 2005

Any ideas whats going on?

Thanks!

qjimbo@europa:/media/data/ut2004/System$ ut2004

Not sure about this.

Try /media/data/ut2004/ut2004
or
cd to the ut2004 folder and type
./ut2004

If the game is installed correctly you shouldn't need to launch it this way, you should be able to just type "ut2004" on the command line to start the game.
The various UT games install a small copy of the System folder into a hidden folder in your home dir and place a copy of unreal.ini and system.ini there. These are the versions of the file you can edit as a user to tweak the game settings without the risk of messing up the game.

Hope that helps some...
