2k4fonts

[}TCP{aLICe]

Why I have 2k4fonts missmatch on freez TCP server, but only deck17-mk2-le map?
Could someone delete this map from TCP server or reconfigure?
Can't play

isnt this the topic?

What file does the mismatch relate to? Do you have a snapshot of the message you get?

[}TCP{aLICe]

I see "2k4fonts package missmatch" error, so I don't think it is the same problem JJ (there is topic about ut2003fonts).

Any idea?

Help please.

Strange, I don't know if it's possible to include font packs into a map file, but it must be something like this if you can play the other maps normally. Can't you replace your package with the standard English one?

Apparently it is a known issue with some of the languages different from those that come with the international release of UT2004.

The links in the first post of the linked topic seem to work, so you should grab them, rename your current files (add zzzzzz or something at the beginning so that you can find them back easily if needed) and put the new ones in their place.

Didn't help. Worse, ut2k4 couldn't start with this 2003 file and I didnt see menu with 2004 font file :/
Had to swich back to original files.

Hmmm. You never had issues seeing the scrolling scoreboard in DM-Morpheus3 (or even opening the map)?

[}TCP{aLICe]

Dont remember. The only map i have problems with is deck17-mk2-le i think.

Well, if no one can come with a solution here, I'd suggest either trying to find a UT2004 Polish community/forum/whatever and see if people have managed to find a solution or to register on the Epic forums and ask for help, hopefully some of the people there will have ideas on how to solve your issue:

Edit : Of course, in the end, if you cannot find a valid solution I guess a special edition of the map could be made removing the element(s) needing the fonts (I suppose there is a billboard or something like that in the map).

Or just turn your Polish version into an English one.

[}TCP{aLICe]

Coco, with pleasure, but how? I hate polish words with missing our special symbols (had to delete polish fonts to play servers at all).

[}TCP{Coco]

As far as I know, all you have to to is to edit your UT2004.ini file, find the section [Engine.Engine] (at the beginning) and change the Language line to Language=int - that's it.

[}TCP{aLICe]

Doesn't work. I have it set this way

Found this post on the web .. should work

Code: Select all

Afaik UT2004 prompts you for a language during install. I'd say choose english. Now u can change voicepacks (announcer, tutorials and taunts) to localized and switch back at will! Just do the following, it worked for me:

Look for UT2004 install "\Sounds" directory (FR:CD#5 SP:CD#4 & #5 other languages look for yourself in the DVD/CDs)
All u need to do is copy all corresponding ".##t_uax.uz2" files, e.a. one german file is: "TutorialSounds.det_uax.uz2". Then decompress them with "UT2004\system\ucc.exe" tool.

Also be sure to edit UT2004.ini and change "language=int" into the same country code of the files u want to use (codes are: FR=frt, ES=est, DE=det, IT=itt...)

(Theres a way to change the in-game written info, but its more complicated as you can only have one version running at a time. So Its a question of finding the "\system" files to be overwritten. But i cant tell u much on this because i didnt even try it, i stick with US version for menus and written stuff.)
____________________________________

If u feel u need help heres a further explanation for localized voicepacks installation procedure:

Create a "_sounds" or whatever new directory under UT2004\system. Copy the 10-12 localized and still compressed (.uz2) files there.

Open a command box in Windows: Start menu, execute... type "cmd". then type "cd " and drag'n'drop your new "UT2004\system\_sounds" directory, finish line with ENTER.

Now all u have to do is decompress the files by launching these "..\ucc decompress C:\GAMES\UT2004\System\_sounds\TutorialSounds.det_ uax.uz2" style lines (I included FR & ES concerned filenames at bottom of post) one by one in the command-line and "RETURN" (to have them executed in one shot, make a ".bat" file)

Once your done delete the compressed files and move the decompressed ones to your UT2004\sounds folder. Then delete the "system\_sounds" folder u created. Your done ;)

You can do this for many/all the languages, no file will get overwritten as each language has different extensions in filename. To switch forth and back, just edit "UT2004.ini" file: "Language=int". Always make one backup copy of "UT2004.ini" before editing it. Should there be a pb with this file after editing, just overwrite it with the backup (on a clean game not even modded, just delete "UT2004.ini", it will be rebuild when u launch the game again). And finally if u cant even see that very file in "system" directory, then change ur Explorer settings to show u all files & all extensions.
