that's it
-
12.
you can play with the "ut2004-win64.exe" too, but it has some issues, you can check that stuff in the archive.org where you downloaded the game if you are into that

14.
Linux Installation:
-
15.
The Linux executables are already included: ut2004-bin/ut2004-bin-linux-amd64.
-
16.
Create a .txt file called "cdkey" with your cdkey inside (use https://keyfrag.surge.sh/ ) and place it in the "System" folder.
-
17.
And

>libstdc++5 must be installed via your package manager; on Debian-based systems the package is likely called libstdc++5:i386

Another Anon's post about installing it in Linux:
-
22.
"As for now I tried with the 64 bit binary and it works well.
-
23.
Of course the file (ut2004-bin-linux-amd64) must be set as executable (sudo chmod +x UT2004/System/ut2004-bin-linux-amd64).
-
24.
On Gentoo, it complained about libcaca not being installed, it was solved by just installing the package (sudo emerge --ask --verbose --quiet libcaca), I didn't add any USE flags to the make.conf file nor any files inside /etc/portage/package.use since it didn't give me any problems without them (USE="X ncurses opengl truetype -doc -imlib -slang -static-libs -test" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)"). It didn't complain for libstdc++ because that's a package bundled with GCC and since it's Gentoo you'll need it for an everyday use.
-
25.
But, if your distro doesn't have GCC installed by default it can be installed with your package manager:
-
26.
>On Debian it can be installed with APT:
-
27.
>(Of course check for updates before installing)
-
28.
root@yourcomputer~# apt install build-essential
-
29.
>but why not just "libstdc++5"?
-
30.
It got deprecated on Debian, you can install "libstdc++6" but I can't check if it works.
-
31.
>On Arch Linux it can be installed with Pacman, First check for updates and then type:
-
32.
user@yourcomputer~$ sudo pacman -Sy gcc
-
33.
>Or you can use the AUR package called "lib32-libstdc++5 3.3.6-9" I can't check if it works.
-
34.
>On Fedora it is installed with DNF, check for updates and then install it:
-
35.
user@yourcomputer~$ sudo dnf install gcc
-
36.
>libstdc++5 got deprecated in Fedora too, there's "compat-libstdc++-33.i686" but I can't check if it works or not.

Same as on Windows."

How do I join the server?
-
44.
>open the game and press "~" in the game menu for opening the game console
-
45.
>paste the following:
-
46.
open 198.74.52.252
-
47.
>press enter
-
48.
If "~" doesn't open the console for you, try "`", "Tab", "°", or "ñ"
-
49.
It depends on your keyboard configuration
-
50.
-
51.
>Mods?
-
52.
Yeah!
-
53.
But unfortunately you have to install the skin pack mod manually in order to have each character in your menu and select it.
-
54.
It's very simple:
-
55.
>EQG Skins (Mane 6 + Vinyl)
- 56.
-
57.
>download the file
-
58.
>extract it
-
59.
>you'll notice that there will be files inside folders with names like "System", "Textures", etc.
-
60.
>the name of the folder where the file is located is the same name as the folder where you should paste the file inside.
-
61.
for example:
-
62.
>copy the file "eg_girls.upl" from the "System" folder
-
63.
>go to C:/UT2004
-
64.
>go to the "System" folder
-
65.
>paste it there
-
66.
that's it
-
67.
Go to "settings," then "player" and "Change Character" and also your username
-
68.
You can do this in-game by just pressing "Esc" and following the same steps.
-
69.
-
70.
>MLP sounds?
-
71.
eeyup
- 72.
-
73.
download this zip, extract it and put all the files inside the "System" folder of the game -> C:\UT2004\System
-
74.
You have to pick the voice you'll use manually; it doesn't change automatically with your character, it's something you can switch in-game too.
-
75.
You can do it in the "player" tab, the same one where you choose your character and username.
