Description:   Opened: 2004-03-24 11:06 0000
Epic provides a free download for the UT2K4 dedicated server for Linux. This
package is similar in nature to nwn-ded; while not providing a playable copy of
the game, it allows a person who may or may not own the game to run a server
that other players can then use.

I've experienced some difficulty in getting this to run correctly. Persons
working on an ebuild for this package are more than welcome to ask me for
assistance, but I'm unsure as to whether my problems are specific to my machine
setup or otherwise. I can probably offer some insight however. (I just haven't
read into the ebuild spec to be comfortable enough with writing my own ones
yet)

Of additional note is the following message, which should probably be displayed
upon the conclusion of the merge. (In summary, a generated key is needed to run
a server that will be listed on the public matchlist, but if one intends to run
a private server no such key is needed.)

Quoting:
"These files allow anyone to run a dedicated UT2004 server, even if they do not
own a retail copy of UT2004. Once installed, it will occupy around 2.0 GB of
disk space, significantly smaller than the 5.5GB required for a retail
installation. Server admins wanting to advertise their server to the official
master server list, and be included in UT2004 stats will require a dedicated
server key. Go to http://unreal.epicgames.com/ut2004server/cdkey.php to
generate a dedicated server key."
