Problems installing Unreal Tournament

I have had huge problems getting Unreal Tournament working on my FreeBSD 7.0 workstation. I run into problems in pretty much all steps of the install, but after several days of poking around and looking for answers online, I think the main problem comes down to OpenGL libraries.

Here's a run-down:

I started by trying the port in /usr/ports/games/linux-ut/. Install starts off fine but exits with an error:

Code:
ERROR: No matching delta for /usr/local/share/linux-ut/System/Editor.u

After doing some research it seems this error has to do with the patch (436) that is bundled with the port. I've tried, using the supported knob (WITH_451PATCH=YES), to install the other supported patch instead (546). Same error.

Looking in the install directory, everything seems to be in place though, even if the maps are still compressed, which might also contribute to the 'no matching delta' error. More on that later.

I then try to run the game and get the following error:
Code:
libx11.so.6 ELF file OS ABI invalid
Ok, I guess this is because it's trying to use the BSD lib files instead of the linux-compat ones. Let's try this:
Code:
brandelf -t Linux ut-bin
Same error. I then symlink the libx11.so.6 file from the linux compat directory into the Unreal System directory. The error goes away.

Trying to start the game, now I get an error it can't find the intro-map. Remebering that the maps weren't decompressed I go on a new Google hunt. I eventually find a way to decompress maps manually and I get a little further and this is where I run into real problems.

I'll post the log produced when I try to start Unreal Tournament>

I've had no luck with this. I tried symlinking different GL-libraries from the linux-compat directories. I've tried renaming any tls directories on the system (after reading tips online). I've tried disabling 'dri' from xorg.conf. I've also tried setting which openGL-library to use from within UnrealTournament.ini. Nothing seems to work.

As a last resort, I tried using the Loki installer instead of the port, but got the same problems as mentioned above.

I have a ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 card which is recognized in xorg.conf as:
Code:
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "radeon"
        VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
        BoardName   "RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
I really have no idea what to try next. I'd be very grateful for any tips.
 
The port should work fine, I helped updating it some time ago and we extensively tested it.

Which version of UT are you trying to install? The original/GOTY CD or the Anthology release?

ERROR: No matching delta for /usr/local/share/linux-ut/System/Editor.u

IIRC this means the file is already patched, you can check the checksums with the patch file ... Or if you're not sure how to do that, post the md5 checksum here.

After doing some research it seems this error has to do with the patch (436) that is bundled with the port. I've tried, using the supported knob (WITH_451PATCH=YES), to install the other supported patch instead (546). Same error.

The 451 patch is intended mainly for servers, not for clients, if fixes some bugs, but introduces many more, in my experience 436 runs better.

I'm not really sure about the runtime errors, you can try editing UnrealTournament.ini and using a different display driver ... Be warned that configuring and getting UT up and running can be a real *beep**beep**beep**beep**beep* sometimes, there is little documentation, many bugs, and loads of things you can do wrong.
 
I have the GOTY CD. It says something about eventually needing to mount the CD with -b option in the pkg_message. I don't see a -b option in the man page for mount?

I'm not too familiar with checksums. Do you mean the checksum for the installed Editor.u file?

I've tried pointing to several different ogl-libraries from within the ini file. The problem is I don't really know what I'm doing :) The default install points to a libGL.so(.1?) I think. What am I looking for? Is it supposed to be a file from /usr/compat/linux, or is it supposed to be a opengl library installed for FreeBSD?

I've installed a couple of ports which I hoped could make a difference (linux_dri for example) but it didn't help. I'll post some stuff that might be useful:

Code:

I just reinstalled the port to make sure it's all default again.

The installation process is as follows:

Code:
# make install clean
===>  Vulnerability check disabled, database not found
===>  Extracting for linux-ut-436,1
=> MD5 Checksum OK for linux-ut/unreal.tournament_436-multilanguage.run.

=> MD5 Checksum OK for linux-ut/unreal.tournament.official.bonus.pack.collection.run.
=> SHA256 Checksum OK for linux-ut/unreal.tournament.official.bonus.pack.collection.run.
==========================================================================
If you are experiencing problems reading the Unreal Tournament CD/DVD,
then try mounting it with the -b option.

The following knobs can be specified:
CDROM_MOUNT             Mountpoint for the UT CD/DVD.  Required!
WITH_451PATCH           Install the v451 patch.  This patch fixes some
                        issues but introduces new issues.  Note that this
                        patch is completely network compatible with v436,
                        so you do not need it for online play.
WITHOUT_MAPS            Do not install the maps.

Sorry, can't help you with the rest, but it's in the manpage for mount_cd9660:
Code:
     -b      Relax checking for Supplementary Volume Descriptor Flags field
             which is set to a wrong value on some Joliet formatted disks.
 
I solve this. This happen when your sources already patched with v436 patch. To continue build you must clean thework/setup.data/patch.dat file.
 
Thanks, I believe that solution was offered more than two years ago ;)

Carpetsmoker said:
this means the file is already patched

You contribution is appreciated, but as a tip, be sure to check the date of the last post, if it's more than two years ago it's very likely that the OP will never read you answer ;) Which means your precious time is wasted (which is a shame) :(
 
But I did read it :) Stumbled in here for God knows what reason. Thanks for the input, but I'm no longer on that computer. Still playing UT though, but on Win7 ;)
 
The comment wasn't aimed at you, but at kegf, who posted a (possible) answer already offered by someone else two years after the last post.

Not that I particularly mind, it's just that it seems a waste of his time and effort ;)

How does one "clean" the work/setup.data/patch.dat file?
First of all; why would you want to do that, considering that the problems which were discussed here happened over 2 years ago?

It's quite likely that the issues which were discussed here have been addressed since then.
 
I am getting this error when I try to install the port. Apparently I'm missing something or the problem maybe hasn't been solved. Funny thing is I used to play and run a UT server on FreeBSD back in the 5.x days and don't recall this problem and I am stumped. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Well, you're not giving us much information to work with, but last time the problem was solved:

I solve this. This happen when your sources already patched with v436 patch. To continue build you must clean thework/setup.data/patch.dat file.

So, try to do a make clean; is that doesn't work, try commenting out the part that applies the v436 patch in the Makefile.

There are quite few versions of UT, so perhaps yours is already patched. Ideally, the Makefile should detect this, but I don't have a FreeBSD deskop system anymore, so I can't do this for you :-(
 
I found an old copy of UT99 and installed using it - went smoothly, so yes, the problem is that recent versions are already patched.
I could not run it though, one machine (CURRENT-11.0/i386) told me it can't find libudev.so.0 or libudev.so.1 when I typed in ut (and as far as I know there is no way to install libudev on FreeBSD), and another machine (10.1-RELEASE/i386) just tells me this:
Code:
% ut
Signal: SIGIOT [iot trap]
Aborting.
%
but I guess this is another story, not for this thread.

It's part of a linux-base package:
Code:
% grep -r libudev /ports

/ports/emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage3/pkg-plist.i686:%%PREFIX_SUBDIR%%lib/libudev.so.1
/ports/emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage3/pkg-plist.i686:%%PREFIX_SUBDIR%%lib/libudev.so.1.4.0
So, you need to install emulators/linux_dist-gentoo-stage3 it seems ...
