Does a port of UT exist for Haiku? I have Quake and Doom but I have been looking for UT. I think a port existed back in the BeOS days IIRC.
An unfinished, unpublished port was made at the time. It has leaked out since but I’ve yet to find the download.
I believe it needs the R4.5 3D stack, not R5.
Check this thread:
Isn’t UT open sourced now? Maybe a fresh port to Haiku would be better?
Unfortunately those patches are meant for the original Win/Mac/Linux installs so they have no use for Haiku.
As far as an Haiku port goes the best 2 options I could find are:
The official UT99 source release. Some people note this source is incomplete, it would probably compile for Haiku after some patching, but who knows if it’s complete enough to actually run the game.
Open source reimplementation, according to the devs, only works on specific game versions, only in single player and the bot ai isn’t ready. On the other hand, it aims to support all UE1 games and imo is the safer bet in the long run, if the project keeps on going and gets better with time.
