1. Requirements

ChaosUT2 (CUT2) PRv3.75 requires that you have UT2004 installed, with the following official add-ons:

Two examples of where you can get the ECE Bonus Pack and the latest patches are:

 

2. UT4MOD Installation

Just run (double-click) the UT4MOD file and follow the instructions.

Problems during UT4MOD installation
-----------------------------------

- When I double-click the UT4Mod file, nothing happens or Explorer asks which program I want to open it with.

Your .UT4MOD file association is probably broken. That is a common problem and nothing to worry about too much. Check http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/wiki/UMOD/Problems for ways to fix the problem.

- I can start the UT4Mod installer, but it keeps complaining that I don't have Unreal Tournament 2004 installed.

Assuming that you do have Unreal Tournament 2004 installed, that's just another common problem with UT4Mods. Make a backup copy of Manifest.ini in your System directory and create a new Manifest.ini with the following lines in it:

[Setup]
MasterProduct=UT2004
Group=UT2004

[UT2004]
Caption=Unreal Tournament 2004
Version=3369

That will make the UT4Mod installer rightfully believe that you do have Unreal Tournament 2004 installed. Please replace the version number with the version actually installed. After running the game at least once the version can be found in the file UT2004.log in the System directory.

 

3. Zip Installation

  1. IF you are updating an existing installation of Chaos - first go to your UT2004\System folder and remove any Chaos files you find there (this includes any of the following: ChaosGames.det, ChaosGames.int, ChaosUT2.ucl, ChaosUT.det, ChaosUT.int).
  2. Extract the zip file to the UT2004 base folder. If asked to overwrite, do so.

Note: Some maps may have been updated and positioned in the zip to overwrite the older files. If you moved map files around or are running a server, please make sure you use the updated maps.

 

4. MAC Instructions

  1. Download the file at http://idisk.mac.com/kendallp/Public/files/CUT/Mac_only.sitx
  2. Decompress the file with the latest version of Stuffit Expander which can be found at http://www.stuffit.com/exptester.html
  3. Read the installer instructions to install ChaosUT2: Evolution
  4. Read the starter instructions to start UT2k4 with ChaosUT2: Evolution

mutate madfragger
mutate meleefragger

The Chaos keybinds can be changed thru the GUI after installation, but if you would like to use the default keys just to see how everything works, they are as follows:

Alt=Grappling Hook
B=Anti-Gravity Belt On/Off
G=the Kick
H=Grappling Hook Up/Down
LeftBracket=Spraypaint
X=Advanced Weapon Option
Y=Drop Flag(s)
Z=Change Ammo / Melee Stance
