Unreal Tournament 2004 has no sound on Ubuntu 21.10 (fix proposed)

[kirtr]

The 64-bit linux binaries seem to work well except for the system has no sound by default. Unreal Tournament 2004 supports OpenAL for sound.

Ubuntu 21.10, and probably others, needs the package "libopenal1" installed which does exist in the standard package repositories.

In the ~/Games/unreal-tournament-2004/System directory a symbolic link needs to be made to the system libopenal library. It needs to be named openal.so. So these commands will do the trick:

apt install libopenal1 cd ~/Games/unreal-tournament-2004/System ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libopenal.so.1 openal.so

Wondering if this can/should be incorporated into the installer.
