 Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2003 9:07 am Post subject: UT2003 Epic Bonus Pack |
 |
|
If this topic has already been posted and I missed please forgive me.
I installed UT2k3 without a hitch, however I want to install the epic bonus pack and I can't figure it out.
I have the .exe unziped and I've moved the files over to /usr/local/games/ut2003 ok but past that I am lost and confused.
I'm sure the answer is very simple and I have just missed it. The www.unrealtournament2003.com help wasn't well help full I don't seem to have a UT2003.ini file and I'm not sure what to do with the default.ini file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Here are the raw directions from unrealtournament2003.com regarding how to manually update your config files for UT2K3 in linux. I'll tell you what this stuff is supposed to mean and tell you what I learned it getting it to work. First the raw directions

How to install the Epic Bonus Pack on Linux
To install on Linux:
1) Download the .EXE file, which can be treated as a regular .ZIP file.
2) Unzip it in the base of the directory where you installed ut2003.
3) Edit the appropriate .INI file to include the below information.
4) Play the game, tell your friends how great it is, buy them copies as
birthday, wedding, and bar mitzvah presents. 
Ini=System\Default.ini,Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings.BonusPackInfo[1]=(PackageName="AnnouncerEvil.uax",Description="Evil")
Ini=System\UT2003.ini,Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings.BonusPackInfo[1]=(PackageName="AnnouncerEvil.uax",Description="Evil")
Ini=System\Default.ini,Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings.BonusPackInfo[2]=(PackageName="AnnouncerFemale.uax",Description="Female")
Ini=System\UT2003.ini,Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings.BonusPackInfo[2]=(PackageName="AnnouncerFemale.uax",Description="Female")
Ini=System\Default.ini,Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings.BonusPackInfo[3]=(PackageName="AnnouncerSexy.uax",Description="Aroused")
Ini=System\UT2003.ini,Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings.BonusPackInfo[3]=(PackageName="AnnouncerSexy.uax",Description="Aroused")
INI=System\Default.ini,xInterface.ExtendedConsole.MusicManagerClassName=OGGPlayer.UT2OGGMenu
INI=System\UT2003.ini,xInterface.ExtendedConsole.MusicManagerClassName=OGGPlayer.UT2OGGMenu
AddIni=System\UT2003.ini,Editor.EditorEngine.EditPackages=BonusPack
AddIni=System\UT2003.ini,Editor.EditorEngine.EditPackages=SkaarjPack
AddIni=System\UT2003.ini,Editor.EditorEngine.EditPackages=SkaarjPack_rc
AddIni=System\UT2003.ini,Engine.GameEngine.ServerPackages=BonusPack
AddIni=System\UT2003.ini,Engine.GameEngine.ServerPackages=SkaarjPack
AddIni=System\UT2003.ini,Engine.GameEngine.ServerPackages=SkaarjPack_rc
AddIni=System\Default.ini,Editor.EditorEngine.EditPackages=BonusPack
AddIni=System\Default.ini,Editor.EditorEngine.EditPackages=SkaarjPack
AddIni=System\Default.ini,Editor.EditorEngine.EditPackages=SkaarjPack_rc
AddIni=System\Default.ini,Engine.GameEngine.ServerPackages=BonusPack
AddIni=System\Default.ini,Engine.GameEngine.ServerPackages=SkaarjPack
AddIni=System\Default.ini,Engine.GameEngine.ServerPackages=SkaarjPack_rc
AddIni=System\UT2003.ini,Editor.EditorEngine.EditPackages=OGGPlayer
AddIni=System\Default.ini,Editor.EditorEngine.EditPackages=OGGPlayer
Ini=system\DefUser.ini,Engine.Input.F11=MusicMenu
Ini=system\User.ini,Engine.Input.F11=MusicMenu |
Alright what this is telling you is that you need to open each file name mentioned which consists of these four files:
System\Default.ini
System\UT2003.ini
system\DefUser.ini
system\User.ini
Now that we know which files we are working with lets look at what we are supposed to do with them.
Since my install is currently patched I can't tell you exactly which sections already existed but some of them did. For the others that do not yet exist in the named file, simply manually create them. The syntax goes like this . . .
In the directions it says "Ini=System\Default.ini,Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings.BonusPackInfo[1]=(PackageName="AnnouncerEvil.uax",Description="Evil")" this means that you need to open your Default.ini file and look for the section named "[Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings]" and then add a value below that heading of "BonusPackInfo[1]=(PackageName="AnnouncerEvil.uax",Description="Evil")" -- Like I said above if the section does not exist create it. Another thing I found is that some of these files did not exist in my /usr/local/games/ut2003/system folder instead they were in my /home/user/.ut2003/system folder for my specific local account on the machine. In those cases I went ahead and generated the correct files in the /usr/local/games/ut2003 folder with the new values (thinking that if I make a new user on my box hopefully the new values will be populated into the new users profile correctly, however I have not tested or verified this theory -- but it didn't hurt me at all) and I also edited the files in my home directory with the new values.
Hope that makes some sense! Happy fragging, the new game types are AWESOME!!

My setup is a little different in that I've installed ut2003 in my home directory, i.e. ~/ut2003. The ini files are mostly in ~/.ut2003 (notice that it's a hidden directory in your home directory). So take a look for that directory and see if you can find the ini files they want you to edit.
To interpret Epic's instructions you'd do the following for example:
| Code: | Ini=System\Default.ini,Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings.BonusPackInfo[1]=(PackageName="AnnouncerEvil.uax",Description="Evil")
|
This says edit the file in the System directory called Default.ini, find the section labelled
| Code: | | [Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings] |
and insert a line below it as | Code: | | BonusPackInfo[1]=(PackageName="AnnouncerEvil.uax",Description="Evil") |
Do the same for all those others and look for the ini files in both the ut2003 directory and the .ut2003 directory.
Good luck!

probably because you executed this script as root and it made root own some of your system files...
try to gain ownership again of the ut directories (chown) of change permissions (chmod) of those dirs |

This isn't making sense to me..
I've done the e-build of UT2003
It runs pretty damned sweet.. but I really want the bonus pack.
It looks to me like the e-build has installed UT2k3 into the /opt/ut2003 dir
but there is no ut2003.ini inside the system dir of that install..
The only ut2003.ini that I can find is in ~/.ut2003/system/ except that there is NO [Xinterface.Tab_AudioSettings] in that file at all..
what am I meant to be doing..?!?

Just make sure to run
chown -R games.games /where/ut/is/installed
after you used the install script.

You could also always "emerge ut2003-bonuspack-epic" then run "ebuild /var/db/pkg/ut2003-bonuspack-epic-1/ut2003-bonuspack-epic-1.ebuild config" as root to setup the default .ini files in the /opt/ut2003 directory. To configure your settings in your home directory, simply run /opt/ut2003/epic-installer once you've emerged the bonuspack.
Remember, if you have a problem... file a bug
