I always keep my mind open when I do gaming on my Ubuntu Linux. Today, managed to know Urban Terror v4.0 just came out fresh (on my birthdate). Download and tried it out just for the sake of proving it's able to run on my distro.

Tried it out with the help of some forums

* Download both these files:
http://media.digitalamusement.com/urt4/ioUrbanTerror_1.0.zip
http://mirrormaid.yi.org/UrbanTerror40_full.zip
* Unzip the first one into ( /usr/local/games/UrbanTerror )
* Unzip the second and put it into the Linux directory from the first ( /usr/local/games/UrbanTerror/q3ut4/ )
* Critical update for BattlEye [LinuxClient] [LinuxServer]
* cd /usr/local/games/UrbanTerror
* chmod +x ioUrbanTerror.i386
* ./ioUrbanTerror.i386

That should do it. You can only join non-punkbuster games.

And...since I'm not managing a cyber cafe... I play with bots. Here's how you do it:

Start Urban Terror, bring down the console (~ key), type in

/bot_enable 1

Close console, click Start Server, setup whatever options you like but make sure the map you play is "Abbey", otherwise the bots will be totally useless due to lack of waypoints. When ready, start the server.

Select your team and join, bring down the console, type in

/addbot chicken

Repeat command for any many times as bots you want added. Their skill varies, sometimes they're great, sometimes they'll tk you without mercy. Official bot support was dropped, but the commands remain in case you really want them.

Hope you enjoyed the game as much as I do. Now, moving on to other projects. :)
