This guide walks through the steps necessary to install ut2004 ECE from gog.com using a SlackBuild that can be found at SlackBuilds.org.

1. In a terminal as root create the game directory and a directory where the CDKey will go; here is an example using the SlackBuild's default

   mkdir -p /usr/share/games/ut2004/System 

   chgrp -R games /usr/share/games/ut2004 

   chmod -R 774 /usr/share/games/ut2004

   exit

2. In a terminal as non root user, install ut2004 via wine. Here is an example (Note: on 64 bit systems replace “wine” with “wine64”):

   wine setup_ut2004_2.0.0.6.exe 

3. Find your UT2004 cdkey with wine regedit.

   wine regedit

   a windows registry window will open up; navigate via mouse to find the CDKey located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Unreal Technology/Installed Apps/UT2004/

4. In the terminal log back in as root, and, create a new text document called CDKey with the discovered digits inside of the correct directory.

   su root 

   vim /usr/share/games/ut2004/System/CDKey

5. Copy over all the game data from the wine install to the correct directory (make sure you are still root during this step):

   cp -rfv ~/.wine/drive_c/GOG\ Games/Unreal\ Tournament\ 2004/* /usr/share/games/ut2004/

1. Download the SlackBuild from SlackBuilds.org

   wget https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.2/games/ut2004.tar.gz

2. Extract the files

   tar -xvf ut2004.tar

3. Change to the correct directory

   cd ut2004

4. Download the required files found in the .info

   wget https://liflg.reto-schneider.ch/files/final/ut2004_3369-english.midway.dvd-3.run

5. Execute the script

   ./ut2004.SlackBuild

6. Finally install the package it produces.
