~~if you'd like to help me recover my health, please join my unreal tournament 99 server. also we have a mumble you can join that's also constantly playing bullshit 90s/2000s jams~~

Game's over for tonight! Thanks for joining!

I've run two UT99 Nights and they were absolute blasts. I intend to run more. This is the ideal pickup game for so many reasons.

Once I'm feeling better I'm hoping I can arrange to, like, run a server for ~3 hours every Friday, something like that. Having a server that's just open all the time means you can't rely on anyone being there; if I say "okay everyone join at 6PM PST Friday" then enough people show up to have a good game.

seriously had the most fun playing an online game in... well.... shit a long damn time.

I'm mega stoked for scheduled online matches. so much fun and great music.

would you happen to have the linux disks hanging around somewhere?

gravis again @cathoderaydude11/24/2023, 4:00 AM

i'm afraid not. the 469d community patch that's required does have a linux version so it should be possible but i don't know how to accomplish it. UT has been purged off of all online stores thanks to epic being fuckers so... I guess my best suggestion is "try wine"

Nire Bryce @NireBryce11/24/2023, 4:08 AM

turns out you use wine to extract it and then shove the files in the flatpak launcher and it just like, works. what in the world

edit: that didn't work, but https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/unrealtournament did if I point the same files at it. You can get the CD off internet archive at https://archive.org/details/ut-99

it may still have an old trojan but you aren't using that wineprefix (or exe) after you extract the game files anyway.

idk if Solid Base would be a good fit for your 90s/2000s jam mumble but I think they are the most Y2K musical group to ever exist possibly.

Jama @Jama11/24/2023, 4:58 AM

Normally played 2K4 prior but stopped by for a bit and found out that the Ripper owns. Did not Do Well, but the Ripper is cool.

Kacey @kaceydotme11/24/2023, 5:54 AM

wait did you pre-patch this to run and look ok on modern PCs? :o

gravis again @cathoderaydude11/24/2023, 7:11 AM

yep, it has the 469 patch, should run perfectly on wide (but not ultrawide; patch linked on webpage) and also should run great under wine on linux

Emi @pardalis11/24/2023, 6:30 AM

it's actually unfair that I don't spawn with a pulse gun, maybe they'll fix that in a patch soon (ggs to all, this was a total blast)

gravis again @cathoderaydude11/24/2023, 7:13 AM

likewise tysm!!

Morning Song @MorningSong11/24/2023, 7:10 AM

Thanks for this! Gosh, I missed playing UT99 with people.

gravis again @cathoderaydude11/24/2023, 7:11 AM

Morning Song @MorningSong11/24/2023, 7:14 AM

Raymond @SaberTail11/24/2023, 4:14 PM

@kyogi11/24/2023, 8:22 AM

my cat was being a jerk and interrupting any semblance of skilled play, but it was fun to just hang out in the mumble channel and watch the chaos. speedy recovery to you!
