Getting your server CD-Key

If you want to advertise your server and collect stats, you need to go to http://unreal.epicgames.com/ut2004server/cdkey.php, fill out your administrative e-mail address and you're ready to go.

Installation of the server

Creating an UT2004 Directory: $ mkdir ut2004; $ cd ./ut2004
Unpacking DedicatedServer3323.zip: $ unzip ./DedicatedServer3323.zip; $ mv ./UT2004-Dedicated-3323/* .; $ rmdir ./UT2004-Dedicated-3323
Unpacking UTSecure2K4-111.zip: $ unzip ./UTSecure2K4-111.zip

Your server is now almost ready to run. If you want to collect stats you have to place the CD-Key in your System directory.

Installing the CD-Key: $ echo "SRVER-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX" > ./System/cdkey

Configuration of the server

Before you can start your server, you need to configure the server. Best way to do this is to visit UT2004.ini Generator where you can create your own custom System/UT2004.ini file.
Take a look at my UT2004.ini to see the settings for a LAN setup.

Important: if you're running a dedicated server, don't forget to use the -nohomedir parameter. Otherwise ut2004 will create a .ut2004 directory in your homedir $HOME!

Starting the server: $ ./ucc-bin server <gametype> ini=UT2004.ini log=UT2004.log -nohomedir
Starting with a mutator: $ ./ucc-bin server <gametype>?mutator=<mutator> ini=UT2004.ini log=UT2004.log -nohomedir

Starting the server (example): $ cd /usr/local/games/ut2004/System; $ ./ucc-bin server ONS-Torlan?game=Onslaught.ONSOnslaughtGame?mutator=XWeapons.MutNoSuperWeapon ini=UT2004.ini log=UT2004.log -nohomedir &
