Hi,
Urban Terror is a popular total conversion/mod based on the Quake 3
engine. It is a realistic style game similar to Counter Strike. Works
well already with the Quake 3 engine available in the repository.
Instructions
------------
# yum install quake3
# wget
ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/urbanterror/UrbanTerror40_full.zip
(536 MB)
# unzip UrbanTerror40_full.zip
# su
# mv q3ut4/ /usr/share/quake3
# exit
# quake3 +set fs_game q3ut4
Trying to run it from the mod menu will fail with a "hunk alloc" error.
So don't bother. Let me know if it works for you.
Packaging
---------
It doesn't allow redistribution. The readme has this gem.
"Urban Terror is distributed free over the Internet and is covered by
the Quake 3 SDK licence agreement [EULA]. The mod files may not be sold
[in any form] or distributed on physical media unless with permission
from iD Software.
For further information on legal use of programs derived from Quake 3
source code, please contact their respective authors.
"
While it may indeed be possible to secure redistribution rights from id
since they are a very Linux friendly company, we could do something to
make this easier meanwhile. Create a package called urbanterror which
depends on the quake3 package and uses autodownloader to download the
game data, create a menu entry which calls the above command. Should be
pretty easy to do. Anyone interested?
If someone can provide me with a:
-autodlrc file
-wrapper script for launching
-.desktop file
-icon
I would happily add this to the quake3 package, a seperate package just for
this is overkill IMHO.
Take a look at the current quake3-demo wrapper, .autodlrc and .desktop file for
an example howto do this.
Regards,
Hans
