Requirements

Installing

Follow these steps to generate a working instance of Equalizer on the server:

  • Extract the .zip file to some safe place. Look out for System folder and drop its contents (UPackage, meta, and ini files) in the game server's System folder.

  • Open the Server.ini file (containing all the information about game server configuration and operations) and add the following line in the section [Engine.GameEngine] like so

    ServerPackages=Equalizer<UPackageIS>

    where <UPackageIS> is the identifier string of Equalizer package (basically Version + BuildNumber) that you extracted from the .zip file. For instance, "020158" in the UPackage "Equalizer020158.u". For rest of the part of this document, we shall assume the Version = 020 and BuildNumber = 158 Note: In this case the line to be added is

    ServerPackages=Equalizer020158

    without "<>".

  • Now you need to tell game server to load relevant class Equalizer. It is usually done in two ways

    • Equalizer for Mutator

      To load relevant class Equalizer as a mutator by the following command line (in the case we are considering)

      ucc server CTF-Magma?Game=XGame.XCTFGame?Mutator=Equalizer020158.Equalizer

      If done the right way, Equalizer shall be loaded at the start of every map! Consult UnrealAdmin. Note: You may wanna use the relevant identifier string (IS) whilst writing the command.

    • Equalizer for ServerActor (needs testing)

      In this context, we add the following line in the section Engine.GameEngine like so

      ServerActors=Equalizer020158.Equalizer

    Please note you need to follow either Equalizer for Mutator or Equalizer for ServerActor. Also note that the oder of loading the Equalizer class matters. Based on the dependencies (for instance UniqueIdentifier) you may need to deduce the right order. Please always ask if you got no clue about what to do! Or, the very least, admit it! Moving on...

  • Look out for WebScripts folder and extract the contents (the EqualizerBE) in the relevant directory on WebServer. You may wanna use some super duper FTP client, for instance FileZilla.

  • Now you wanna modify the following fields in the script main.php like so

    $servername = "localhost"; // Usually you don't wanna modify this
$username = "cowboy"; // The name of the database user
$password = "BWxFPjNuIYBPxxg0"; // The password of the user
$database = "CowboysTestDatabase"; // The name of the database

  • Once that is done, open the Equalizer.ini file and modify (if needed) the following fields

    QueryServerHost="localhost"
QueryServerFilePath="/EqualizerBE/eqquery.php" // the relative path of the eqquery.php file
QueryServerPort=80

    For the description of other fields, refer the ReadMe's configuration section!

  • Finally, if you want to have web access to Equalizer, modify the section [UWeb.WebServer] in UT2004.ini like so

    Applications[0]=xWebAdmin.UTServerAdmin // Make sure this order is maintained with UTServerAdmin at top
ApplicationPaths[0]=/ServerAdmin
Applications[1]=xWebAdmin.UTImageServer // UTImage server is essential for displaying the relevant images
ApplicationPaths[1]=/images
Applications[2]=Equalizer020158.EQWebAdminServer // Finally we provide room to our own EQWebAdmin
ApplicationPaths[2]=/Equalizer
bEnabled=True // Should be set to true
ListenPort=8080 // Generally you won't need to change this until there is some faliure to bind at the default port

    Make sure to extract the contents of Equalizer-0.2.0/Web to /Web of UT2k4 installation.
