UT2004: cannot get to use DM-[VIP]Fox-Gothic2004

[Guest]

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

Hi.

I've downloaded a remake for UT2004 of the original DM-Gothic from
www.mapraider.com. Unfortunately I cannot seem to have UT2004 "see" the
map. I've downloaded the zip file and tried to install it three times
but no way. It still doesn't appear in the map list.

I'm running Gentoo Linux 2.4.26-r6. I can see the following in the log:

Warning: Missing Class Class Editor.TransBuffer

I have UT2004 version 3323.

Thanks for any help,
Vince C.

Hi Vince! Long time no see ;-)

I've got a freshly installed UT2004 version 3186. Downloaded the map
from the URL you provided, with the following MD5 sum:

c80a181cb8651cb6c729d3128138881e DM-gothic2.zip

Unzipped it into a temporary directory, removed those pesky .DS_Store
dirs (probably zipped on a Mac), and copied the remaining files into
my ~/.ut2004 dir:

$ unzip ../Desktop/DM-gothic2.zip
$ find -name .DS_Store | xargs rm -rf
$ cp -uva * ~/.ut2004

Map works like a charm.

Glad we meet again 🙂. How's the weather? Guess it's cold too, a bit
more than here in Belgium?...

Strange...

Well, it's the same that I'm doing here except I'm using a bash script
of mine. Just noticed a couple of things:

1. I also have another Gothic map, DM-Gothic2K4 but it should not
interfere as it is not even named the same

2. I have version 3323 from portage but you have 3186; would it make the
difference?

3. Should I remove everything from my ~/.ut2004/System folder (but my
ini files, of course)?

Er, just a question: you seem to use your home directory for your maps,
textures aso, am I right? I didn't know that (granted, I'm a Linux newbie).

Yep, cold too ;-)

Could be, don't know. I'm not installing from portage, since I've
already got it installed somewhere else.

You could give that a try of course

Yep. It's like this: your personal .ut2004 dir is overlayed on top of
your game directory. Everything in there takes precedence over what's
in your game dir. That's all there is to it.
