ut2004-data and DVD release of UT2004

[CrazyIvanMN]

okay...

I tar'd up my working manual install of ut2004, and decided to test your ebuilds.

bare with me, I'm sorta a n00b, so I'm gonna walk through what I did
Not completely sure if I set this up right, but I downloaded the ut2004 ebuild and the ut2004-data ebuild and the games-ut2k4mod eclass.

set the ebuilds up in my overlay directory /usr/local/portage/games-fps/ut2004 and ut2004-data..
did the ebuild ut2004.ebuild digest thing.. and ebuild ut004-data digest..

I put the eclass thing in /usr/local/portage/eclass ?? can eclass'es be 'overlayed' like anything else? (tried doing a search for just that and didn't see any mention of it.. :/ )

Okay.. that all said and done..

Put the Unreal Anthology DVD in my drive, and then typed ..
emerge --pretend --verbose ut2004

(I had to unmask unshield at this point, and tried again)
Anyway, emerge gets to games-fps/ut2004-data-3186-r3 and sorta gets stuck at the disk detection part...

my disk is being automounted at /media/UNREAL_ANTHOLOGY/

Code: Select all

 * This package will need access to 6 cds.

 * If you do not have the CDs, but have the data files
 * mounted somewhere on your filesystem, just export
 * the following variables so they point to the right place:
 *  CD_ROOT_1 CD_ROOT_2 CD_ROOT_3 CD_ROOT_4 CD_ROOT_5 CD_ROOT_6
 * Or, if you have all the files in the same place, or
 * you only have one cdrom, you can export CD_ROOT
 * and that place will be used as the same data source
 * for all the CDs.

 * For example:
 * export CD_ROOT_1=/mnt/cdrom

find: /media/UNREAL_ANTHOLOGY/System: No such file or directory

 * Please insert+mount cd #1 for ut2004-data now !
 * Press return to scan for the cd again
 * or hit CTRL+C to abort the emerge.

 * If you are having trouble with the detection
 * of your CD, it is possible that you do not have
 * Joliet support enabled in your kernel.  Please
 * check that CONFIG_JOLIET is enabled in your kernel.

I see that find error right in the middle of all that text.. I suspect it's looking for a System directory on the dvd which there is none .. just a folder called AutoRunData and folders called Disk1, Disk2 ... Disk8, and Autorun.exe and Autorun.inf.

[PaulBredbury]

I put the eclass thing in /usr/local/portage/eclass ?? can eclass'es be 'overlayed' like anything else?

Yes, that's right.

I am currently looking for AutoRunData/Midway.tga on the CD. What files are in your AutoRunData directory? Actually, please just post the result of this command:

Code: Select all

dir -R /media/UNREAL_ANTHOLOGY/

[PaulBredbury]

Please try the 2 new files I've just posted to the bug, then the contents of /opt/ut2004/extract-filelist.txt will be very interesting to see

If the emerge fails, then hopefully extract-filelist.txt will be available in /var/tmp/portage/games-fps/ut2004-data/work/

The Anthology DVD has 3 additional cab files. Since I have the "pleasure" of doing this blind, I don't know if I can just link to the first 6 (as with the Midway UT2004-only DVD), or if I need to extract all 9 and then delete the non-UT2004 stuff

[CrazyIvanMN]

okay I've attached the extract-filelist.txt to the bug.. it did fail

[PaulBredbury]

Please try the new ut2004-data ebuild, which should work with those Anthology directories.

[CrazyIvanMN]

okay.. the ut2004-data ebuild seems to work so far (well it completed without error anyway).. the whole emerge is still running ..

Anyway.. it seems to 'hang' for a while right after the 'creating icon from help/xxx' whatever section... almost thought it was hung, was about to ctrl-c it... but then it continued.. Maybe a warning after that 'doing fancy stuff, this may take a few minutes'

my only comment is it doesn't seem to autodetect my mount point.. not the end of the world, it tells ya how to resolve that ('export CD_ROOT=/media/UNREAL_ANTHOLOGY'.. then I emerge ut2004 again and then it finds the disk fine..)

oh... finally got to ut2004

[PaulBredbury]

Maybe a warning after that 'doing fancy stuff, this may take a few minutes'

OK, will do that when the next bug in ut2004-data is found

it doesn't seem to autodetect my mount point

You must either mount it (so that it is present in /etc/mtab) or set CD_ROOT. The check is done in games-ut2k4mod.eclass

sed: can't read /usr/local/portage/games-fps/ut2004/files/ut2004.xml: No such file or directory

Your local overlay is incomplete. Run:

Code: Select all

cp /usr/portage/games-fps/ut2004/files/ut2004.xml /usr/local/portage/games-fps/ut2004/files/

Then digest it, and complete the ut2004 emerging.

But first, please attach to the bug the result of:

Code: Select all

equery files --md5sum ut2004-data

[CrazyIvanMN]

okay.. that seemed to do it (coping the ut2004.xml file to my local overlay) that allowed it to emerge without error..

However.. it doesn't run.

I tried
$ ut2004
as it says at the end of the emerge... (originally I got an error, because it was running my custom script I had in /usr/local/bin that ran my manual install of ut2004, but I've tar'd that up and deleted it so my custom script doesn't work, I've deleted my custom script now)
and there aren't any other ut2004's in my path now.. and it's simply command not found.

I briefly saw Unreal tournament under my 'applications -> games' menu in gnome, but that's gone now to..

I unmerged ut2004, and re-emerged ut2004, and tried $ ut2004 again.. and.. still command not found.

So... did
$ cd /opt/ut2004/System
$ ./ut2004-bin
and I get:

Code: Select all

ivan@ivan /opt/ut2004/System $ ./ut2004-bin 
Failed to enter Entry: Can't find file for package 'GameSounds'

History: 

Exiting due to error

[PaulBredbury]

command not found.

bash is silly like that, when the "path" to the executable changes. Close the open instances of bash, and open a new bash window.

I briefly saw Unreal tournament under my 'applications -> games' menu in gnome, but that's gone now to..

Gnome is also silly. To get Gnome to refresh the Games folder, I sometimes have to log out of Gnome - I also restart X for good measure.

Notice the games_make_wrapper and make_desktop_entry in the custom ut2004 ebuild

Failed to enter Entry: Can't find file for package 'GameSounds'

I forgot Sounds in a loop - please use my new ut2004-data ebuild. Should have all the necessary files present then

The only weirdness is around localized language files missing, which doesn't seem to matter, e.g.

Code: Select all

[CrazyIvanMN]

okay.. Latest ebuild works now with the unreal anthology dvd

Doesn't seem to have any issues.

hehe any chance getting an ebuilds to install the other games on the dvd?

[PaulBredbury]

Please test the ebuild for Unreal Tournament 99, which should now work with the Unreal Anthology DVD

[Nebetsu]

Does the Linux client run better than the Windows one? Because the windows one is way too slow... >> UT2004 runs faster than UT

[CrazyIvanMN]

After much unmasking (don't plan to ever run a server so I guess that's prolly okay)

I tried out your ebuild for unreal tournament '99'..

anyway... circular dependencies ftw

Code: Select all

ivan ~ # emerge --pretend --verbose unreal-tournament

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
!!! Error: circular dependencies:

('ebuild', '/', 'games-fps/unreal-tournament-bonuspacks-436', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'games-fps/unreal-tournament-451', 'merge') (hard)
('ebuild', '/', 'games-fps/unreal-tournament-451', 'merge') depends on
   ('ebuild', '/', 'games-fps/unreal-tournament-bonuspacks-436', 'merge') (medium)

I guess I'll take the 'bonus' USE flag off and try again..

(Oh and I tested your last games-u2t4.eclass thingy since I saw you updated it.. still installs fine, though I still have to manually do export CD_ROOT=/media/UNREAL_ANTHOLOGY and.. it does show in /etc/mtab..)

Code: Select all

/dev/hdb /media/UNREAL_ANTHOLOGY iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000 0 0

[CrazyIvanMN]

For the Unreal Tournament 99, it installs just fine with that ebuild for the Unreal Anthology DVD
Except of course if you have the 'bonus' USE flag set,... then.. um.. well.. it doesn't because of the circular dependancies.

though... any idea how to play in windowed mode?

[PaulBredbury]

!!! Error: circular dependencies:

Fixed.

I still have to manually do export CD_ROOT=/media/UNREAL_ANTHOLOGY

Fixed. It was expecting to find Manual.pdf - I never got a listing of the files on the Anthology DVD

Please run this, and attach it to the bug:

Code: Select all

ls -R /media/UNREAL_ANTHOLOGY/ > anthology_dvd_filelist.txt

any idea how to play in windowed mode?

Press ~ and type:

Code: Select all

endfullscreen

[CrazyIvanMN]

Okay Tested all your new files for both UT2004 and UT99.. (did emerge --unmerge ut2004 unreal-tournament followed by emerge --depclean to get rid of the stuff thems brought it first)..

And it works great now.. detects the Unreal Anthology dvd just fine (no need to 'export CD_ROOT=/media/UNREAL_ANTHOLOGY' )

Noticed there was no 'bonus' USE Flag any longer, which is prolly fine, I did another emerge unreal-tournament-bonuspack or whatever after the overlay packages.

Anyway, yeah, seems 2 down .. 2 to go hehe (Still Unreal w/ 'Return to NA PALI' and Unreal II the Awakening on the DVD )
(my longer delays on my replies is because I'm... um.. 'testing' them to make sure they work okay,... yeah that's it.. )

Oh.. also did attach that file list you asked for to the UT2004 bug.

[PaulBredbury]

Unreal 2 doesn't have a Linux client. But it wasn't such a good game anyway

I suppose /usr/portage/games-fps/unreal/unreal-226.ebuild could be extended, for Unreal 1.

[PaulBredbury]

You'll need to re-emerge ut2004, to add a wrapper script to work with the ut2004 mods, such as Alien Swarm.

[Dragonix]

Would someone be interested in helping me ? It seems that this *FUCKI*** German Version is different again, theres no UT99 on the DVD. I tried to modify your ebuild, but i think i screwed something up
He want's to have the linux-installer.sh....

UNREAL_ANTHOLOGY/disk6:

UNREAL_ANTHOLOGY/disk7:

I didn't thought that there are great differences, so i tried to make the ebuild work for me, but i don't have any experience in making ebuilds, so I think screwed something up

However, if you have time, i'd appreciate your help

[PaulBredbury]

Please try the new ebuilds on bugzilla, which hopefully add support for the German Midway DVD

[Dragonix]

Oh man, THX!!! Works really great!
One question: Will the ebuild come in the official Portage someday?
