so i just downloaded the map pack, but when i try to play it, i need other archives as u can see in the screenshoots + in game doesnt show all maps

If there is additional content missing it can be downloaded from here:

Probably the easiest way is to join the server then run CacheExtractor.

i know that join the server is the easiest, but i mean there is a lot of maps that pretty much not everyone is gonna play, im trying to use a download manager but only gets 190 archives and ofc there is a lot more is there other way? ofc i can download one by one takes long time, and another thing is how can i replace the "archive".u.uz2

Once you have the .uz2 files downloaded you still need to extract them and put in the correct folders.

Code: Select all

ut2004\system\ucc.exe decompress somefile.u.uz2
ut2004\system\ucc.exe decompress someotherfile.utx.uz2

will create somefile.u and someotherfile.utx. The .u files go in the System folder, .utx goes in Textures, and other extensions have other folders like .ukx goes in Animations, .usx goes in StaticMeshes. You can check the folders and the file extensions in them to know which files go where.

One of the tools is "uztool" which is a shell extension for Windows. Installing this allows you to right click a .uz2 file in Windows Explorer and click decompress.

I do highly recommend joining the server and voting a big map like ArcticJunkyard-Randomizer. This will download a bunch of stuff, then quit and run cache extractor. Most downloaded maps will load after that. The few that don't you can repeat the process - vote that map on the server then run cache extractor locally. You won't have to do this for all the maps to get all the maps to work. Just a few big maps will be enough.

If you've extracted a bunch of maps, but don't see them available in game when you start the game, check your ut2004.log file - it will have lines like "Failed to load map ONS-Foo - can't find file "FooTex.utx" so you can then download and extract those.

We can probably make a large archive to download.
The current redirect has speed limit (ugh.) thanks to NFO budget hosting.

So we could make a larger archive and just put it on google drive or drop box or something.
