Semi-realism mod for Unreal Tournament 2003/2004 OS X
Semi-realism mod for Unreal Tournament OS 9 and OS X
An unparalleled giggle collection, from any semi-realism FPS
(Sep 15): Frag.Ops 2.00 Full Installer (471M .dmg.gz) for Mac OS X is released (finished by th3dunadan), and available at DR2.net (ty, DR2-Matt) and macfpsgame (ty, Cannonfodder). I'll get the URL listed at the Frag-ops main page with Memnon, but you can get it now :) We'll host it at osxgamefiles too when that site is back up. For now get it here:
DR2.net (USA)
MacFPSGames (USA) (quick free registration required)
UT2004 3323 OSX released: Get it at macupdate. Thank you Ryan!
(Sep 2): New mac team member: A big welcome to Bassman from French Clan M4k to the betatest team as my partner on the Mac side of this mod's test team. Bassman did major testing for the Santaduck Toopak, and I expect he'll do a great job for Frag Ops. Félications!
(Aug 12): FragOps news: Version 1.39c has been released. It's a minor tweak, tallying in at 6M for the manual patch. Due to it being so small, we may not be creating a separate full dmg for OS X. To install, open your UT2k4 application bundle by right clicking it and selecting "show package contents." Then drop the patch files into the appropriate folders within the folder FragOps, overwriting existing files. Also, FO is set to appear in the UT2k4 "Editor's Choice" edition, according to Squirrelzero's newssite Furball Dynamics, noting that FO's dev company, Pandora Sturdios, has signed a one-time contract with Epic Games. SZ also notes that FO is the most popular mod for UT2k4, citing stats trackers at GameSpy and CSports, in an undisputable riposte to Red Orchestra staffer Ramm-Jaeger in this thread at Beyond Unreal. In general, I wonder about two things: 1) "one-time" contract seems to imply future retail plans by Pandora Studios for FO, and 2) are the folks at Epic that chose FO for the ECE (apparently for commercial considerations) the same as those who seem to be biased against FO in the MSU? [No, I don't have insider knowledge, I just beta test for them occassionally...]
(July 14): Frag Ops 1.39 released Currently for OS X, you'll need to download the zip patch, and install it over 1.38. The Mac .dmg for 1.38 full is available at Macologist via FTP and Bittorrent. If you do a manual installation from scratch, remember to install to UT2004, rather than your application support folder, and get the mac launcher here. There's even a cool new review & guide for FragOps from Filefront.
(may 4): UT2003 PATCH 2225.2 released. Mirror. (7.1Mb bz2)
FragOps should now work on Mac with 2225.2! You can try the FO mac kit version 3 beta, but I'll finish a final version soon, but if this beta works for you, then use it and don't worry ( All I'm going to add in the final version will be some version check dialog boxes, and some other tweaked messages. I think the actual launch code and INI files will be the same. The dropisntaller will be tweaked to solve some file owner/permissions issues.) Note: This kit includes: Mac INI files, DropInstaller, and FO Launcher.
(apr 26): Ryan's .plan today said: "2225.2 is looking very solid, just waiting for someone at MacSoft to approve its release." FO here we come :)
(apr 19): We're still waiting for UT 2003's 2225.2 patch. Until that comes out, FO will not work on most macs. There are reports from some users that it works on some laptops, using the MacInstallKit3Beta below.
(apr 6): Mac FO works with mac UT2003 2225.2 Ryan Gordon is fabulous, that's all I have to say. (He's the mac coder for Epic for Unreal). Within 24 hours, he identified the problem with fragops. Coincidentally the 2225.2 patch was due out for release, and he got the fix in! He said he has FO working on his mac 2225.2 rig, and to look for the public release of 2225.2 within days.
(apr 5): Mac FO Update
I've finished testing, and have come to the conclusion that all versions of Macintosh UT2003 are not compatible with Frag Ops. I have emaileddetails & crashlogs to Ryan Gordon, and we'll see if he can put in a fix before 2225.2 comes out-- according to his recent finger dotplans, it looks soon. On other news, I'm looking forward to UT2004 for both mac & pc, and how FO will work out.
(mar 30) Frag.Ops Mac Install Kit 3beta released
download (300K). MacDropInstaller will now install all files in the 1.35 release. FragOpsLauncher & ini files has been updated as well for 1.35. However, I can't seem to make FO 1.35 work with mac UT2003 of any version. This Install kit beta is being provided for anyone interested in helping to problem-solve. I also provide the raw applescript of the installer and launcher.

Mac, PC, Linux, wtvr.
I don't have anything concrete yet, not even a weapons table. But for admin SET fun ( as well as summoning in botmatch), here is a short starter that might help. If you don't understand it, plz don't ask, I'll write a more explanatory FAQ soon:
FO Weapon Codes Starter Again this is a *very* old version.
Custom maps, patches, full mods:
Use MacDropInstaller from the Frag.Ops Mac Install Kit 3. As long as the internal folders are all named correctly, it will install everything from map files to entire patches. If you see an incorrectly-named folder (for example mapz instead of maps), just drag that folder individually onto MacDropInstaller.
