How to run Unreal on Linux?

Post by Skw »

Yes, I checed the FAQ (http://www.oldunreal.com/wiki/index.php ... _Linux_FAQ).

It didn't say what to double-click to run Unreal.

I used my brain and double-clicked on "UnrealLinux.bin" but Linux only says "Cannot open package".

I tried to start "UnrealLinux.bin" from command line but it just says "command not found".

Then I added "bash" command, but then command line says "cannot execute binary file".

What I did before all this:

I copy-pasted original Unreal files to Windows and patched them with "UnrealPatch227fWinLin.zip".

Then I made new zip-file of patched Unreal which I copied to USB-stick which I connected to Linux computer. Then I extracted all files to Linux desktop in folder "unreal".

Linux is Ubuntu 9.03.

"Acces denied".

Then I changed permissions but it still says that.

You must change permission to executable.

Code: Select all

chmod +x UnrealLinux.bin
and type
./UnrealLinux.bin
We have two installers for Linux on forum (unofficial).

and

You don't need Wine to make native version.

p.s : Ubuntu 9.04 not 3 ;)

Thank you! Unreal works like a charm on my Linux comp.

Now getting to the real point:

How to make Unreal server on Linux?

I did all settings (my router too), but MasterServerUplink (or similar) were missing in Default.ini (I mean the Linux default.ini) and LinuxUnreal.ini.

So I typed manually that setting, but the server still doesn't show up in server list. It will show up in LAN-list.

Is there any firewalls/security settings to set up in Ubuntu (port opening ect.)?

And I don't remember how to start server from UCC.

Sorry, I mistyped my Ubuntu version before. My Ubuntu is 8.10 alternate.

just a warning, but most non-standard characters can't be transmitted on a linux server for some reason. Stuff like é and ÿ. They are replaced with that ever-familiar pixelated box.

I believe you run it by using ./UCCLinux Server {params}
