Post subject:  BW won't work at all on Mac...

So, here's the weird deal I've got here: I have a Mac, with Unreal Tournament 2004, with the 3369 patch and everything (even though i still can't get that darn motion blur to work, though the realistic shadows work fine), I downloaded BW 2.0 yesterday (the .zip file), and not really understanding the instructions on what to do with the files and whatnot, I took all the stuff out of the files (textures, sounds, ect.), and put them in the System folder located inside the folder Unreal Tournament 2004 guessing that might kind of be the right way to do it.

So I launch UT2004, and it turns out that all the BW mutators are there (except Ballistic Vehicles was missing for some reason), along with all the BW gametypes, and even the weapon database had the BW weapons in it. So I tried playing a Deathmatch in Instant Action with the mutators: Ballistic Weapons and Bloody Hell. And... well. Everything was the same. Weapons were all the same. Blood effects were all the same.

Nothing had changed whatsoever. I tried to see if I could configure the mutators, and it said the mutators had nothing to configure. I tried playing on a BW gametype: same result. I tried different mutators: still the same. What am I doing wrong? Did I add the files to the Unreal Tournament 2004 folder wrong? Please remember that I'm using a Mac OS X. I'd really like to play this mod, so if anyone could help, I'd be very grateful.

Well for one thing I'm pretty sure that textures/sound and so forth have to go in their own respective folders,NOT system.

Look at the folders in your UT2004 directory and place the files where they are appropriate.(textures in the texture folder,sounds in the sounds folder,ect.)

The thing is though, I'm pretty sure the Mac version of UT2004 only has a System Folder, which contains a few .ini and .log documents (like the ones I had to edit for patch 3369). My Unreal Tournament 2004 folder contains as follows: Saves (from my single player game), and System, which as I said, contains the those codes, or whatever they are, and that's where I put the contents of the BW folder, since that was all I could think of.

I have a mac, and I can assure you BW works fine, and that Unreal does not have just a system folder.

The problem is, you are looking in the wrong place. Open a finder window, and find the actual Unreal Tournament 2004 application, the one that you would double click to play. Then, open a finder window of the BW stuff(which would be separated into folders such as textures, animations, etc). After that, right click on the unreal tournament 2004, and select "Show Package Contents". From there, you will see the textures, system, etc. folders. If the only thing in THAT folder is system and saves, your unreal wouldn't run.

Once you open that up, open each folder of the BW information (i.e. textures), select all, and then drop them in the corresponding folder inside the UT2004 package. Don't fiddle inside the package, cause you might take stuff out, just drag and drop. Once you move all of the files from BW into the package, close all of the finder windows, and restart unreal. Then BW will work.
Hope that helped.
