unmask ut2004?

[gav989]

hi, i'm trying to install unreal tournament 2004 but it tells me the package is masked (presumably because one has to pay for it)

looking at the wikis etc, i've tried adding it to /etc/portage/package.unmask but with no luck

how do i go about unmasking this package?

(i have paid for it, i have the unreal tournament anthology dvd and a serial key etc)

thanks in advance

I own an original disc of UT2004. It came with a linux install script ("linux-installer.sh") on the disc (If memory serves me, I think I had to copy the installer script to my home directory and run it from there.). When run, it will ask for your key code. Run the installer as root and it will install UT2004. I downloaded the newest updates (non-OS specific) from "UT2004.com". Unzip and manually copy the update files to the newly installed ut2004. Be sure to check the read.me files before you move 'em... because you need to overwrite files in the appropriate order. Happy Fragg'in..

Good luck.

thanks for the reply, after reading around it seems that midway decided not to support linux any more (i imagine they had loads of phone calls and didn't have the training to deal with them or something) and so have not included a linux installer for the anthology release. there's a workaround posted on the ubuntu forum but i might just run it in windows (grumble)
