Hi,
Urban Terror is a popular total conversion/mod based on the Quake 3 engine. It is a realistic style game similar to Counter Strike. Works well already with the Quake 3 engine available in the repository.
Instructions ------------
# yum install quake3 # wget ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/urbanterror/UrbanTerror40_full.zip (536 MB) # unzip UrbanTerror40_full.zip # su # mv q3ut4/ /usr/share/quake3 # exit # quake3 +set fs_game q3ut4
Trying to run it from the mod menu will fail with a "hunk alloc" error. So don't bother. Let me know if it works for you.
Packaging ---------
It doesn't allow redistribution. The readme has this gem.
"Urban Terror is distributed free over the Internet and is covered by the Quake 3 SDK licence agreement [EULA]. The mod files may not be sold [in any form] or distributed on physical media unless with permission from iD Software.
For further information on legal use of programs derived from Quake 3 source code, please contact their respective authors. "
While it may indeed be possible to secure redistribution rights from id since they are a very Linux friendly company, we could do something to make this easier meanwhile. Create a package called urbanterror which depends on the quake3 package and uses autodownloader to download the game data, create a menu entry which calls the above command. Should be pretty easy to do. Anyone interested?

If someone can provide me with a: -autodlrc file -wrapper script for launching -.desktop file -icon
I would happily add this to the quake3 package, a seperate package just for this is overkill IMHO.
Take a look at the current quake3-demo wrapper, .autodlrc and .desktop file for an example howto do this.

My connection is weak now so I haven't checked but here are the files for testing. They are ripped of the Quake 3 equivalents.

I would still prefer a separate package since yum install <foo> would work and people searching for the binary can find it easily.

Thanks!

Well, yum install can be fixed with an virtual provides, however Add/Remove software from the applications menu can't, so I'm siding with you on this and I've made a new package for this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=385771
Its a very simple package, reviews much appreciated!

Hans
