Does anyone know how to run Deathball 2.0 on MacOS X ?

I think that only some paths are wrong but don't know exactly where to change ...

if a guy can help me

What if there's a girl that knows?

Dunno. No one in dev team has Mac.

However, I'd try first to check that all folder and file paths are correct (Check for case sensitivity - they might be wrong). Important files are the .ini files in Deathball\System folder.

I think deathball.u and deathballai.u should be renamed as Deathball.u and DeathballAI.u, respectively.

Ask for more if you still can't get it working. (Or tell us if it starts actually work)

no, it does not work at all ... is there nobody with a mac who gets it running ?

If you can give me your Ut2004\system\ut2004.log , I could perhaps help bit more.

/me volunteers to spend a great portion of the day testing DB on my mac at work...if some1 will buy me another copy of ut2004!!!

PS : on Mac, the files .ini/.log ... are not in /UT2004/system/ but in /user/"you"/library/Application Support/UT2004/

Can be the origin of error ?

ok

I'll try to consult Epic about this problem.

Something stolen from UT mailing list. Hope it helps for now.

Mod installation on the Mac version currently goes like this:

If it's a zip archive, you have to expand the archive and copy the files manually into your ~/Library/Application Support/Unreal Tournament 2004/ folder. This must be done by hand because the Mac OS X Finder does not have the ability to unzip "into" a folder. (It's a bit uglier if the package doesn't include the .ucl file.)
