Red Orchestra Mod Released For UT2004

Posted by simoniker on from the blue-conductor dept.

MigrantHail writes "According to the official site, the Red Orchestra 2 mod has just been released for Unreal Tournament 2004. Red Orchestra is a popular, freely downloadable total conversion mod which takes place in World War II, on the Eastern front (Germany against Russia, mainly.) The mod tries to give a more realistic WWII experience by not using crosshairs (aim down the barrels) and keeping the guns true to history."

  1. Linux users, read: by floamy · · Score: 5, Informative
    Here's how I got it installed and working in Linux:
    1. Download the .zip version ("ro_beta_v2.0_full_installer.zip")
    2. Extract to your ~/.ut2004 directory, so that it's in ~/.ut2004/RedOrchestra
    3. There's a bug with the current Linux release that causes the KarmaData dir in the mod's direcotry not to be searched, so you'll have to copy ~/.ut2004/RedOrchestra/KarmaData/redorchestra.ka to /where/ut2004/is/installed/KarmaData/ if you want people to ragdoll when they die
    4. Start the game with "ut2004 -mod=redorchestra"
    5. I've been playing this game all day, it's lots of fun.
