<div>Hi, extra quiet ut2004 list. I miss you terribly whenever out-of-control whining breaks out on the ut3 list. :)</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>For those still watching this place, I have owned the original 6 cd distribution of UT2004 since it was released, but got sick of all those damn cds. So I recently gave that copy to my nephew and bought a shiny new DVD copy with the MegaPack already installed. I went to install that on a linux box today, and wouldn't you know it, the data is all in Windows .cab files and there's no linux_installer.sh, so it appeared I was up the proverbial fecal creek. It's noteworthy that this distribution is now published by Midway, Epic's current publisher, and there's no penguin on the box. <div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Googling a bit I stumbled onto liflg.org (that's Loki Installers For Linux Gamers for the curious ;) ), and they have a beta installer based on cab_extract and loki_setup that seems to work on Midway's ECE/Megapack distribution as well as the Unreal Anthology distribution of UT2004. Here's the link, for those that are interested:</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica"><a href="http://liflg.org/?catid=7&gameid=82">http://liflg.org/?catid=7&gameid=82</a></font></div></div><div><br></div><div>Anyway, hope this helps somebody out. Not sure much can be done on the official front by Ryan, but if not, this is a tolerable substitute. </div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Now to see if I can convince Chris Gianelloni or whoever is the current maintainer to see if this couldn't be used in Gentoo Portage. Hehe, perhaps it'll be easier to just make an overlay; they still haven't gotten ET: Quake Wars into the Portage tree yet!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>-Rob</div></body></html>
