Enjoy Slackware 15.0!
Native Unreal Tournament 2004 ECE from gog.com
This guide walks through the steps necessary to install ut2004 ECE from gog.com using a SlackBuild that can be found at SlackBuilds.org.
Some manual preparation before using the script at SlackBuilds.org
- 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
- 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
- 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/
- 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
- 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/
Use the SlackBuild from SlackBuilds.org
- Download the SlackBuild from SlackBuilds.org
wget https://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/14.2/games/ut2004.tar.gz
- Extract the files
tar -xvf ut2004.tar
- Change to the correct directory
cd ut2004
- Download the required files found in the .info
wget https://liflg.reto-schneider.ch/files/final/ut2004_3369-english.midway.dvd-3.run
- Execute the script
./ut2004.SlackBuild
- Finally install the package it produces.
