37.
you can play with the "ut2004-win64.exe" too, but it has some issues, you can check that stuff in the archive.org where you downloaded the game if you are into that

2.2_ How to Install Unreal Tournament 2004 (Linux)
45.
46.
The Linux executables are already included: ut2004-bin/ut2004-bin-linux-amd64.
47.
Create a .txt file called "cdkey" with your cdkey inside (use https://keyfrag.surge.sh/ ) and place it in the "System" folder.

>libstdc++5 must be installed via your package manager; on Debian-based systems the package is likely called libstdc++5:i386

52.
Another Anon's post about installing it in Linux:
53.
"As for now I tried with the 64 bit binary and it works well.
54.
Of course the file (ut2004-bin-linux-amd64) must be set as executable (sudo chmod +x UT2004/System/ut2004-bin-linux-amd64).
55.
On Gentoo, it complained about libcaca not being installed, it was solved by just installing the package (sudo emerge --ask --verbose --quiet libcaca), I didn't add any USE flags to the make.conf file nor any files inside /etc/portage/package.use since it didn't give me any problems without them (USE="X ncurses opengl truetype -doc -imlib -slang -static-libs -test" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)"). It didn't complain for libstdc++ because that's a package bundled with GCC and since it's Gentoo you'll need it for an everyday use.
56.
But, if your distro doesn't have GCC installed by default it can be installed with your package manager:
57.
>On Debian it can be installed with APT:
58.
>(Of course check for updates before installing)
59.
root@yourcomputer~# apt install build-essential
60.
>but why not just "libstdc++5"?
61.
It got deprecated on Debian, you can install "libstdc++6" but I can't check if it works.
62.
>On Arch Linux it can be installed with Pacman, First check for updates and then type:
63.
user@yourcomputer~$ sudo pacman -Sy gcc
64.
>Or you can use the AUR package called "lib32-libstdc++5 3.3.6-9" I can't check if it works.
65.
>On Fedora it is installed with DNF, check for updates and then install it:
66.
user@yourcomputer~$ sudo dnf install gcc
67.
>libstdc++5 got deprecated in Fedora too, there's "compat-libstdc++-33.i686" but I can't check if it works or not.

>How do I install the mods?

Same as on Windows."

3_ How to Install the MLP Skin Pack

81.
>download the file
82.
>extract it
83.
>you'll notice that there will be files inside folders with names like "System", "Textures", etc.
84.
>the name of the folder where the file is located is the same name as the folder where you should paste the file inside.
85.
for example:
86.
>copy the file "eg_girls.upl" from the "System" folder
87.
>go to C:/UT2004
88.
>go to the "System" folder
89.
>paste it there
90.
that's it
91.
Go to "settings," then "player" and "Change Character" and also your username
92.
You can do this in-game by just pressing "Esc" and following the same steps.

4_ MLP Voice Packs
96.
97.
>MLP sounds/voice packs?
98.
eeyup

https://u.pone.rs/ofryfcxr.zip
100.
download this zip, extract it and put all the files inside the "System" folder of the game -> C:\UT2004\System
101.
You have to pick the voice you'll use manually; it doesn't change automatically with your character, it's something you can switch in-game too.
102.
You can do it in the "player" tab, the same one where you choose your character and username.
103.
The .upl file here replaces the eg_girls.upl file of the skin pack mod, so that when you play with bots, each one has its own voice pack assigned; it's not required but it's recommended.
