ut2004 cannot install from the dvd version of the game. The dvd version has the data files in cab files which you can extract with unshield. You need to have all files in the same directory or it will stop saying "File xyz/Disk4/data1.hdr not found even case insensitive" File Listing: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root 15406979 17.

After copying everything to a temporary folder, extracting it with "unshield -d data_out data1.cab" is not possible to emerge it using "CD_ROOT=xyt/data_out emerge -O ut2004-data". ut2004-data-3186-r3.ebuild, line 81: Called unpack_makeself 'xyz/ut2004/data_out//linux-installer.sh' Be carefull. It takes a lot of disk space just to extract everything. 3GB for cab files (maybe there is a a trick how you can tell unshield to search the other data?.cab files and data1.hdr in the other directories - symlinks in the extract directory would be a good idea), 6GB for extracted data and a lot of GB while emerging.

This must be a re-issue of ut2004 (German-only?) using a totally different format. With my ut2004 DVD (English): # find /media/cdrecorder/ -name \*.cab /media/cdrecorder/CD6/DirectX9/BDA.cab /media/cdrecorder/CD6/DirectX9/BDANT.cab /media/cdrecorder/CD6/DirectX9/BDAXP.cab /media/cdrecorder/CD6/DirectX9/DirectX.cab /media/cdrecorder/CD6/DirectX9/dxnt.cab # find /media/cdrecorder/ -name \*.uz2 | wc -l 803
The English version of the game doesn't use .cab files. Without the linux-installer.sh, you're pretty well SOL, as the ebuilds require files from within that file archive. Looking at the page that you listed, it doesn't say it even supports Linux. Unfortunately, I cannot support this without major modifications to the ebuild. If you're willing to write a patch for it, then I'll add it, otherwise, I'm marking this as CANTFIX.
This is the "normal" Midway DVD. It's fixed in bug #159164 :)
