It's been quite a while since oldunreal had an overhaul, but we are moving to another server which require some updates and changes. The biggest change is the migration of our old reliable YaBB forum to phpBB. This system expects you to login with your username and old password known from YaBB.
If you experience any problems there is also the usual "password forgotten" function. Don't forget to clear your browser cache!

Re: FreeBSD
Simple answer: nag the devs to compile for your OS of choice.
Probability of success: slight.

Re: FreeBSD
honestly there's a good chance it's not even allowed under the terms, it may specifically call out linux being allowable. gotta love contracts.

Re: FreeBSD
Have you actually tried this? FreeBSD should be able to run the 227 Linux client. Installing all of the dependencies might be challenging, though.

Re: FreeBSD
Does anyone know what dependencies there are?

seems like freebsd has a linux compatability layer. looks like the tl;dr here is that you could take a working i386 install of linux + unreal and copy the dependencies over to freebsd and it might work

Re: FreeBSD
Dependencies are unclear. I am sure bsd can possibly run it. Copying binaries over might not be a good idea unless I run a jail.[]KAOS[]Casey wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 4:39 am https://docs.freebsd.org/en_US.ISO8859- ... stall.html

Re: FreeBSD
m, pthread, dl, everything else should be included like libxmp, sdl2, openal, ogg, flac, vorbis etc.

Re: FreeBSD
false.
ldd *.so and ldd *.bin will show you the dependencies.
freebsd documentation even shows this (which would reveal a dependency tree from UCCLinux.bin to the .so files)

Re: FreeBSD
yeah some sort of a binary compat layer has been there for like ages.[]KAOS[]Casey wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 4:39 am https://docs.freebsd.org/en_US.ISO8859- ... stall.html

the best compat layer tho would be to install Linux and get on with it.
