About:
As you know if you’ve been reading our boards, few major bugs prevented us from releasing the game. Good news is that they have been fixed and now there are no more spawning problems, everybody appears ingame with the correct skin and mesh. Both client and server side. Also bugs with the Zat’nik’tel knock out have been fixed and there are no difference in position for clients. The UI has been rewritten to allow players to change it’s scale, and some of the icons have been redesigned.
Textures have been fixed, and now the Goa’uld earn a gold skin at the rank of Prima. The spaceships code has been rewritten, they can no longer “stall”, or stop inflight. Few animations have been added and they now play without issues.
Globally, a full revamp of the maps, interface and code has been done.

I am getting this error ./ut2004-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I have libstdc++.so.6 installed.
Ok so i fixed the libstdc++5 error…so now ut2004 starts up fine. but when i try to do the -mod=SpecialUnit , the console outputs this error “Failed to enter IntroSU.ut2: Can’t find file ‘IntroSU.ut2′” Any ideas?
Did you extract the “SpecialUnit” folder into ut2004 or the contents?
I extracted the folder from the .zip file into the ut2004 folder. I get the screen to pop up, for Special Unit, like it’s beginning to load, but then that error pops up.
I am having the same problem. I think the confusion is that I am not launching with “padsp”, nor do I know how to.
Scratch that, I was being dumb. The problem was that I need to merge the folders in the Special Unit folder I extracted with the folders in the .ut2004 folder.
