Welcome to Unreal Tournament for Linux!

Information: This repository is an attempt and not ready right now. Please don't download/clone this with the hope of building running UT. The structure is work in progress!!!

This is the project page for Unreal Tournament on GitHub abandoned by Epic (for now). Unreal Tournament is being created in close collaboration between Epic and the Unreal Engine 4 developer community. This repository is maintained by The_Cowboy to generate interest in native Linux based gaming and building. You'll be able to see live commits from "liberal" developers along with integrated code submissions from the community! You can also use this code as a starting point for experimentation (and we are exactly doing that!).

As described in the License Agreement, the code and assets residing in this repository may only be used for Unreal Tournament submissions.

This project is the continuation of Epic UT with the last commit date stamp: Aug 11, 2017 (more than 555 days).

The aim of the project is threefold:

Update the UT code as per latest Engine release in modular fashion
Extensive focus on Linux platform
Use Engine to push forward the AI realm

Check out the Unreal Tournament wiki for documentation on the design and development process of the game.

How to get started (Linux)

First we download the Engine and Game code from this repository. To do that type the following sequence of commands in the shell

  git clone https://github.com/ravimohan1991/LinuxUnrealTournament.git
  cd LinuxUnrealTournament/
  git clone https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine -b release

Read native build and complete the prerequisites mentioned there.
Next we download binary content for the Engine.
```
  cd UnrealEngine
  ./Setup.sh
```
Next we generate the projectfiles
```
  ./GenerateProjectFiles.sh 
```
Build the Engine
```
  make
```
Unreal Editor is now functional. It can be accessed through the binary ./UE4Editor located in ~/UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/Linux.
Now we focus on the UT Game. Delete some directories/file(s) (not functional right now)
- UnrealTournament/Plugins
- UnrealTournament/Source/UnrealTournamentServer
- UnrealTournament/Source/UnrealTournament.Server.Target.cs
- UnrealTournament/Source/UnrealTournament/ThirdParty
Now run the Editor and hit browse to select the project in directory UnrealTournament. The projectfiles will be generated and Editor will compile the project with new name. NOTE: Due to some bugs in the Engine, the code will not compile without errors. You have to modify the code (I have introduced some pull requests and hopefully, they will be implemented in the new version). The request is here. You can modify the Engine code appropriately after downloading form GitHub. Next comment out line 538 in SUTCreateGamePanel.cpp
```
          FPlatformMisc::RequestMinimize()
```

Now you should be good to go!

To get started using GitHub:

You'll want to create your own Unreal Tournament fork by clicking the Fork button in the top right of this page.
Next, install a Git client on your computer.
Use the GitHub program to Sync the project's files to a folder on your machine.
You can now open up UnrealTournament.uproject in the editor!
If you're a programmer, follow the platform specific steps below to set up the C++ project.
Using the GitHub program, you can easily submit contributions back up to your fork. These files will be visible to all subscribers, and you can advertise your changes in the Unreal Tournament forums.
When you're ready to send the changes to the Unreal Tournament team for review, simply create a Pull Request.
