Install Error (I *think*)

After playing an old version of the mod from a demo disc to death (Pc Zone November 2001) I decided to update. So I did.

Installing the mod (NeoCairo Beta 5.2) in my Unreal Tournament GOTY folder I found I couldn't run it as a 'Critical Error' keeps on coming up (see attachment).

Using my limited knowledge I'd say that I've installed in the wrong place, or something like that.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards, Mike.

Cheers for the tips.

I can actually run the launcher bit (the thing that says 'Mode/Single Play'?) its just when I go to run the actual game itself (the UT engine?) it comes up with the error.

Looking in the UT folder I'm seeing lots of "NC_SomethingOrOther" (e.g. NC_Maps).

Do they want to be staying in there or putting in the original folders (e.g. Maps).

Oh and yeah - UT 99 is still very hot online.

I could run the old version I had off the demo disk great, its the new version that I'm having problems with.

I've just checked, I'm all patched up to the newest UT 436 Patch - and I installed with the neocairobeta52-max.exe file of your site.

Perhaps the only thing I don't have is the OpenGL on the BeyondUreal page as I downloaded the OpenGL Driver of the (official site.

All the same I'll add it in.

One question, when I'm edditing the .ini file do I want the [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice] part to have exactly what it says on the handy instructions page? i.e. get rid of the lines that are already there and replace them with the ones on the site?

What doesn't seem to match up is the folders - all mine seem to be in the UnrealTournament folder (C:\Program Files\UnrealTournament) - Check the attachment.

I tried installing it into the default "C:\Unreal Tournament" folder but it didn't like that (which kind of makes sense, seeing as the rest of my files are in the other one).

And yeah, the amount of cheating that goes on online is sick.

You defenatly need the mods files to be in the UT folder, try copy/pasting them over!

Thanks for the suggestion(s) but the Mod files are in my UT folder - as shown in the attchment above, I just don't know if thats where they are supposed to be - from what I gather from Comrade Jerkov's post the NC folders should be in their own NeoCairo section, i.e. C:\Program Files\UnrealTournament\NeoCairo\Maps.. Not as it stands, which is just in the C:\Program Files\UnrealTournament\NC_Maps folder.

Weird.. should've run out of the box. I wonder if the install is somehow borked. Sounds like the files/folders did not even copy over properly.

So probably the best thing I should do is re-download the installer. I think I'll do that sometime in the New Year though.

Any other suggestions will still be taken onboard.

Edit: those are some very deep thought ThunderBear - I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft where behind all this cheating.
