you are using X 4.01 aren't you. Glide doesn't work with X 4.01. You
have to use opengl as your renderer. Go to /usr/local/games/ut/System
and edit UnrealTournament.ini. Here is what it should look like
[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
RenderDevice=OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice
THen scroll down to the openGL subsection and make sure that the setting
look good for your hardware.
[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
UseGammaExtension=1
UseModulatedGamma=0
OpenGLLibName=libGL.so
MinDepthBits=16
MaxLogUOverV=8
MaxLogVOverU=8
UseMultiTexture=1
UsePalette=1
UseAlphaPalette=0
ShareLists=0
AlwaysMipmap=0
DoPrecache=0
Translucency=True
VolumetricLighting=True
ShinySurfaces=True
Coronas=True
HighDetailActors=True
DetailTextures=True
UseTrilinear=False
this is an opengl section for a geforce2 card. You'll need to make
these changes for sure:
UseTNT=0
UseS3TC=0
OpenGLLibName=libGL.so should point to libMesaVoodoo or something. I
don't remember off hand.
Good luck!
