UMODs wont install

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.unreal.tournament (More info?)

Please somebody help me with this one.....

When I try to install a UMOD (Remote Strike for instance), I get an error
which tells me that UMODS can't be installed into the folder (which is the
default C:\UT2004 ).

Is there a way round this?

TIA

BGG

Have you tried dropping the UMOD onto C:\UT2004\System\Setup.exe? That
should install it, if the associations are broken....

It's a simple matter of restoring the file associations in Windows.
There are some simple and well illustrated instructions at:

I had this happen to me only one time where the computer didn't
know what the heck a .umod file was. I had UT installed but
still the computer was clueless as to what a .umod file was.
I found all of the files, changes, and registry enteries in
a file called "Manifest.ini" in the UT\System folder. I
checked out each one of the reg entries to find out there
were some missing or had been changed!. It boiled down to
me having another game that uses the Unreal Engine called
Klingon Honor Guard installed and it uses some of the same
reg enteries. It goofed the registry big time for both games!
A quick browse through the Manifest.ini proved productive
though!

I'm having the same problem, and none of this works. Other UMODs
find the game, so I can't think of an explanation. Is there any way to
extract the files from a UMOD manually?

There is an UMod extractor for Linux, which is written in Perl. It
should run on Windows too, perhaps with a little modification because
Windows uses backslashes to separate directories, instead of forward
slashes.

You can also use ucc.exe to extract files from a .umod can't you?
It's a pretty complicated process for someone who has never done
it before but I have done it several times myself just to see if
it *could* be done. If you're running a version of Windows you
should be able to drop a copy of a command prompt in the UT\System
folder, double click it, and type "ucc updateumod
thenameoftheumod.umod list" without the quotes to list all of the
files contained in the umod then just replace the word list with
the word extract to extract all of the files one at a time. There
is no way to use ucc.exe to extract all of the files at one time
and all of the files extracted will be placed in the UT\System
folder so if there are any files there that are named the same
they will be overwritten!.

Sorry for replying to myself here but I made a mistake! You type
"ucc updateumod command filename.umod" into the DOS command
prompt. The word *command* above is replaced by any of the
following: Extract, Add, Delete, Replace, or List. Filename is
replaced with the name of the umod file you want to extract the
files from. You have to first use the List command to see the
names of the files contained in the umod before they can be
extracted though!. Try typing "ucc help updateumod" into the
DOS prompt and it will give you the usage instructions!.

Thanks! I figured UCC might come in handy some day.

YW! Glad the info was of some use anyway!. MeltDown mentioned
something about a umod extractor for Linux and I started to
wonder if the Linux version of the game even has ucc.exe or
not since ucc.exe is a DOS console program and DOS is another
one of Bill Gates' neglected children. 🙂

Not 'ucc.exe', but just 'ucc'. The fact that it's an executable is
determined by the filesystem, not the file's name.

> or not since ucc.exe is a DOS console program

It's not, it's a Windows console program. Try running it under a
*real* DOS.

Get the UnrealTournament utilities from http://www.acordero.org

Their UMod extraction tool is *VERY* useful


I've even used it successfully on UT2k4 UMods
