Howto install UT in ReactOS

Post by Gasmann »

Here's a small tutorial on howto install UnrealTournament in ReactOS. You only need an actual ReactOS SVN version and a copy of the game UnrealTournament.
All to do to get it working can be done within ReactOS.
  • 1. Install UT (open cmd and enter the following, d: is your CD-drive here)

    Code: Select all

    D:
    setup
    2. After Installation has finished, click on 'Play UnrealTournament'. Alternatively you can start UnrealTournament.exe from System subdir inside your UT-installation.
    3. Select 'Change Video Rendering Device' and then select 'Software Rendering'.
    4. Now you can start UnrealTournament from a command shell:

    Code: Select all

    cd C:\UnrealTournament\System
    UnrealTournament
    5. Enjoy playing UnrealTournament!!! :wink:
Here are some screenshots from RealHardware

With software rendering, about 30 FPS (with 800x600x32)
So it can be played (well, not as good as with full opengl, but it's playable).

It isn't free. You can buy Unreal Tournament version 1 as Game of the year edition (GOTY).
http://www.unrealtournament.com/utgoty/

Or download a demo version:
http://www.unrealtournament.com/utgoty/downloads.php

The original version (not GOTY edition) doesn't work in ReactOS.

gasmann :
it is no longer need todo

5. Open UnrealTournament.ini from C:\UnrealTournament\System (or wherever you installed UT to) with ReactOS Notepad. In the section [WinDrv.WindowsClient] there's a line CaptureMouse=True. Change that to CaptureMouse=False and save the file.

I have take care of that bug, but the mouse does not yet working in UT2004.
I have not fix all bug in dinput rewrite code. reactos does not support yet user hook , and when it comes this bug will dispare or if I can figout what wrong now. I only spend 4hours to fix two bugs in getdevicedata for the mouse. it only exsist 1 or 2 more bugs. until the mouse complete working in UT2004.
