I installed the unreal tournament original edition not GOTY with the ut loki installer i found on there website. version 432 i think, should be the latest. but i get this error. i think i need to use that ucc program to decompress the maps but im not sure how to go about this theres some 200+ maps and i cant manualy sit there and decompress each one. is there some other way to do this or am i lost?

I thought that the installer decompressed the maps automatically. Maybe not. 436 is the most up to date version of the installer. You can get it at http://www.3dgamers.com/games/unrealtourn/ They have both the GOTY and non versions for Linux, in full install and update. Give that a try and see what happens. I know it looks like the installer freezes when it's almost done, but if you look in the console window, it's actually uncompressing the maps. At least, that's the way it works on my machine with the GOTY installer.
Unfortunately DOlson's page is down, there's a nice HOWTO there. But here's what I remember:
You need to unmount the CDROM drive (umount /mnt/cdrom)
remount it without mdk's supermount (mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660)
run ut-install.436.run (or whatever the real filename is AS ROOT like this:
[list]
[*]sh ut-install.436.run
[*]exit
[*]ut ##[to play][list]
I did not have to do any other steps...

ive gotten it to install no prob, but it still doesnt work i think i need to decompress the maps with that ucc program?
OMG i was just reading the LGFAG and it said "The 'Best of Infogrames' and 'Totally Unreal' versions of the game aren't supported at all." WHY THE F*CK did tux games send me it then!!!!!!! IF IT DOESNT WORK IN LINUX WHY DID THEY SEND ME IT! on top of that i had ordered the rune expansion and once i got it, it was another copy of rune! This really pissis me off.
use the GOTY installer

The LGFAQ is wrong about this issue. Plain and simple. I pointed it out to the maintainer, but he ignored me.
I have Totally Unreal, and both Unreal Gold and UT work just fine from that bundle pack.

I have that version as well, and it works great for me too. I just used the GOTY installer, since it's the GOTY version that comes with Totally Unreal.
does anyone know why my installation failed? this game jsut wont work on my computer ive been messing with it for most than 2 months now with no sucess
Did you use the GOTY installer? or did you use the normal installer?
I was using the GOTY installer it even asked for the second cd and such.

why did you use the GOTY installer if you have the normal version, not GOTY edition? QUOTE
I installed the unreal tournament original edition not GOTY
go back and get the regular edition installer.

stright from the lgfaq (just to keep Dolson happy)
that fix the problem for me
hope it helps

Q: UT appears to have installed properly, but the game keeps complaining about a missing 'Entry' and exiting!
A: Under some circumstances (such as using an unsupported CD), the maps are not uncompressed during the installation. The opening screen of Unreal Tournament is actually a map, called "Entry", which should be named usr/local/games/ut/Maps/Entry.unr if this file is missing, the installation was not successful and you should make sure that you are using the correct installer for your CD. If the file is present but is named Entry.unr.uz, it is still compressed. Since the maps were not shipped on the retail UT CD in a compressed format, you are either trying to use a GOTY CD (or one of the other, unsupported, Unreal Tournament releases) with the regular installer, or the uncompression step failed. If you have a number of .uz files in your /usr/local/games/ut/Maps/ directory, you will need to uncompress them after the installation. A description for doing so follows:
#!/bin/sh
# FILENAME: convert.sh
#
# Change this to YOUR install-dir of UT
#
INSTALLDIR=/usr/local/games/ut
cd $INSTALLDIR/System
for i in ../Maps/*.unr.uz
do
ucc decompress $i -nohomedir
done
mv *.unr ../Maps
cd ../Maps
for f in *.unr
do
rm $f.uz
done
echo "..:: Done! ::.."
