I can't test it since I have not the game, what I understand is:

1) you go here: http://www.liflg.org/?catid=6&gameid=51 and download "unreal.tournament_436-multilanguage.run"

2) make that file executable, changing it permissions and execute it, installing in a directory that you will remember.
assuming that the file is in the Desktop of the "somebody" user you can do it via command line using:
Code: Select all
cd /home/somebody/Desktop
chmod ugo+x "./unreal.tournament_436-multilanguage.run"
"./unreal.tournament_436-multilanguage.run"


3) delete "ut" und "ucc" files in the /usr/local/bin directory, you can do it via command line using:
Code: Select all
su
rm /usr/local/bin/ut
rm /usr/local/bin/ucc
exit

Note that su will let you become root

4) open a console and go in the System directory where you installed unreal.tournament_436-multilanguage.run
and copy the *.u files to the System directory where unreal is,
assuming that it is installed in the directory "ut" in the home of the user "somebody":
Code: Select all
cd /home/somebody/ut/System
cp *.u "<path to unreal System directory>"

Maybe you will need to be root to write files in the unreal System directory, in that case use "su" as the step above.

This is just what I understand, I hope this is what it means.

Hi again...

I gets this error everytime I sync or something.

--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.unmask: =games-fps/unreal-tournament-goty
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.unmask: =games-fps/unreal-tournament-goty
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.unmask: =games-fps/unreal-tournament-goty
How can I fix this?

I have Doom 3 installed on my 4.2 version of Sabayon. Just don't forget to install the files to your home directory because the game needs write priviledges and if you install it to the default...I think it is /usr/local/games, then the game will have to start via sudo doom3 and you will need to enter a password for the game to work. The game was masked due to a security reason, but I just beat the single player yesterday after not playing that game in years. Have fun, the console gives helpful error messages. :D

I tried to install doom today on my Sabayon 5.0 kde and I got this after following the steps on this thread.

Desktop babu # mkdir -p /etc/portage
Desktop babu # echo "=games-fps/doom3-1.3.1304" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
Desktop babu # echo "=games-fps/doom3-data-1.1.1282-r1" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
Desktop babu # emerge -av doom3 doom3-data

* IMPORTANT: 2 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news to read news items.


These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies ... done!

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "games-fps/doom3" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- games-fps/doom3-1.3.1304 (masked by: DOOM3 license(s))
A copy of the 'DOOM3' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/DOOM3'.


For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

It appears to be that theres something else left to unmask...

You have to agree to the Doom3 license, Doom3 is not open source, so it is
license bound.

Read the license (it is at /usr/portage/licenses/DOOM3 as the message says)
and if you agree to it, add to your /etc/make.conf file:
Code: Select all
ACCEPT_LICENSE="DOOM3"

if there is already an ACCEPT_LICENSE line, append the license after the other ones,
for example if you have already:
Code: Select all
ACCEPT_LICENSE="dlj-1.1"

you edit it adding DOOM3:
Code: Select all
ACCEPT_LICENSE="dlj-1.1 DOOM3"
