Hi all, I had a go at this bug a while ago, here is a short summary what has to be done to include Urban Terror in Debian contrib. - The urbanterror package should be modeled after the quake3 package in contrib. - Use game-data-packager to package the non-free and partly non-distributable game data. - Urban Terror 4.1 is the only version which works with the latest version of Debian's ioquake3 engine. - Urban Terror 4.2 does not work with ioquake3 1.36+u20130504+g42eeb75-2 right now For more information see http://www.mail-archive.com/ioquake3@lists.ioquake.org/msg01149.html - If you copy the q3ut4 directory from Urban Terror 4.1 to ~/.q3ut4, you can use the attached urbanterror.sh script to launch the game from your home directory provided you have also installed the ioquake3 engine. - You have to download the full version of Urban Terror 4.1 from ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/games/urbanterror/full_install/linux_or_mac/UrbanTerror411.zip or a similar mirror. - In general the Fedora packaging of Urban Terror is helpful for your own package. In short it is possible to create a wrapper for Urban Terror 4.1 that launches the game via Debian's ioquake3 engine. However you will have to enable cl_autodownload otherwise you won't be able to join the majority of servers. Enable it at your own risk. https://wiki.debian.org/Games/ioquake3
