I would like to play deathball with ut2004 under linux. I have the latest patch and I followed teidons instuctions from the thread at http://forums.gameservers.net/showthrea ... adid=17902 but was only to get to the UT2004 splash screen. Here is the logfile:

Any special output in the console?
game crashes oder stop working?
Any other games working?
Directory names correct(Maps/maps etc ...)?
Newest UT patch installed?

DB with linux causes many problems, tried it sometime ago and it took very long to get it working

but davidm: Is not our fault, that only our mod is not working without much work O:-)

1. Remove default.ini from ut2004/deathball/system directory and rename defaultlinux.ini to default.ini.
2. Try to start Deathball (it will fail).
3. Open ~/ut2004/deathball/system/Deathball.ini and find [Core.System] section and add line "Paths=../Maps/*.ut2" under it.
4. Play Deathball.

For DavidM: Remove line "-Paths=../Maps/*.ut2" from defaultlinux.ini file's [Core.System] section.

With one of the last DB versions and Fedora 2 it was only possibl to play DB, when it was installed direct into the UT main folders(Try this at last, cause this is not the finest way). Probably teidons mehtod is enough with this version

I just noticed that I had forgotten a dot from ~/.ut2004/... in my instructions.

So XST1 you have to edit ~/.ut2004/deathball/System/Deathball.ini file (.ut2004 is a hidden directory under your home directory) and add line "Paths=../Maps/*.ut2" under [Core.System] section.

Updated the instructions...
