chmod +x utkeeper.sh
chmod +x libs/*.sh

# Run (will prompt for sudo when needed)
./utkeeper.sh

Method 2: System-Wide Installation

# Install to /opt
sudo mkdir -p /opt/utkeeper99
sudo unzip utkeeper99.zip -d /opt/utkeeper99
cd /opt/utkeeper99

# Set permissions
sudo chmod +x utkeeper.sh libs/*.sh
sudo chown -R root:root .

cd ~/.local/share/utkeeper99

chmod +x utkeeper.sh libs/*.sh

# Add to PATH (optional)
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.local/share/utkeeper99:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

⚙️ First Run Setup

On first run, UTKeeper99 will guide you through automatic configuration:

Auto-Detection Features

UT Server Path Detection
Searches common paths: /opt/utserver, /opt/ut99, /home/utserver, etc.
Validates installation (checks for System, Maps, Textures directories)
Web Server Detection
Auto-detects Apache or Nginx
Finds DocumentRoot automatically
Locates UT redirect directory (searches for .uz files)
Service Detection
Finds UT service: utserver.service, ut-server.service, ut.service
Finds web service: apache2.service, httpd.service, nginx.service
Ownership Detection
Auto-detects file owners (user:group)
Applies to both UT server and web server

Manual Configuration

If auto-detection fails or you want custom paths:

Run: Option 8 - Configuration
Follow prompts to set:
UT Server path
UT user/group
Web server path
Web redirect path
Web user/group

Configuration File

Settings are saved to .config in project root:

# Example .config
UT_BASE_PATH="/opt/utserver"
UT_USER="utserver"
UT_GROUP="utserver"
WEB_ROOT="/var/www/html"
UT_REDIRECT="/var/www/html/ut"
WEB_USER="www-data"
WEB_GROUP="www-data"

⚠️ Important: Do NOT edit .config manually - use Option 8!

B. Back to Main Menu

Workflow Example

Installing New Maps:

Drop files into /upload/ directory: upload/ ├── MyMaps.zip ├── CoolTextures.rar └── NewSounds.7z
Option 1: Extract Archives
Recursively extracts (up to 10 levels)
Moves archives to /upload/installed/ for backup
Collects all UT files to /upload/
Option 2: Compress to .uz
Creates .uz compressed versions
Uses UCC compression
Option 3: Distribution
Maps (.unr) → UT /Maps + Web redirect
Textures (.utx) → UT /Textures + Web redirect
Sounds (.uax) → UT /Sounds + Web redirect
Music (.umx) → UT /Music + Web redirect
Code (.u) → UT /System
Sets correct permissions (chmod/chown)
Option 4: Cleanup
Clears /upload/ (keeps /installed/ and /Backups/)

SNAFU Fix

Emergency repair tool for when things go wrong:

Fixes all chmod (755 for dirs, 644 for files)
Fixes all chown (UT and web ownership)
Makes UCC binaries executable
Normalizes map filenames (case-sensitive)
Supports map prefixes: DM-, CTF-, DOM-, AS-, MH-, MA-, RA-, BR-

When to use:

for Map extraction from compressed files and distribution
After manual file operations
When UT server can't read files
After web server permission issues
When in doubt!

🔍 Orphan Scanner

Access via MapTools → 8. Orphan Scanner

Advanced dependency-based orphan detection system.

How It Works

Step 1: Extract Map Dependencies

Scans all .unr files with UCC packagedump
Extracts Import Table package references
Takes 10-15 minutes for ~200 maps
Creates: libs/all_map_dependencies.txt

Step 2: Generate Whitelist

Builds protection list from 4 sources:

System Packages (hardcoded) Core, Engine, Botpack, UnrealShare, UnrealI IpDrv, UWeb, UBrowser, Fire, UTMenu UWindowFonts, LadderFonts
Map Dependencies (extracted)
All packages referenced by maps
Example: RainFX, Starship, GenFX, UTtech1
ServerPackages (from ut.ini)
Parses ServerPackages= lines
Auto-detects: ut.ini, UnrealTournament.ini, unrealtournament.ini
Pattern-Based (filesystem scan) *kin* - Skins (SoldierSkins, CommandoSkins, etc.) *Fem* - Female skins (GothFem, DacomaFem, SGirlSkins) *Male* - Male skins *ech* - Tech textures (SCTech1, UTtech1, UTtech2) *ont* - Fonts *fx* - Effects *enu* - Menu packages *oice* - Voice packs *nnounce* - Announcer packs

Creates: libs/dependency_whitelist.txt

Step 3: Detect & Delete Orphans

Scans /Textures/*.utx, /Sounds/*.uax, /Music/*.umx

Shows all orphaned files with interactive selection:

Found 28 orphaned packages (39.14 MB)

   1) [ ] chaostex.utx           19.53 MB
   2) [ ] chaossounds.uax         5.02 MB
   3) [ ] SCTech1.utx             4.10 MB
   ...

Options:
  a) Delete ALL orphans
  s) Select numbers to DELETE (comma-separated, e.g. 1,5,8)
  k) Select numbers to KEEP (comma-separated, everything else deleted)
  c) Cancel (back to menu)

Step 4: Web Redirect Cleanup

Scans web redirect for orphaned .uz files:

Checks if original file exists on UT server
Supports all extensions: .unr, .utx, .uax, .umx, .u, .int, .ini
Case-insensitive matching

Safety Features

✅ 50+ Warning - Alerts if too many orphans (suggests reinstall)
✅ Whitelist Protection - Multiple layers of protection
✅ Interactive Selection - Choose exactly what to delete
✅ Cancel Anytime - No changes until confirmed
✅ Read-Only Scanning - Detection doesn't modify anything

Workflow Example

# First time setup (do once)

1. Extract Map Dependencies    # 10-15 min, creates dependency database
2. Generate Whitelist          # Few seconds, creates protection list

# Regular use (after adding/removing maps)

1. Extract Map Dependencies    # Re-scan if maps changed
2. Generate Whitelist          # Always regenerate after extraction
3. Detect & Delete Orphans     # Clean up unused packages

# Web cleanup (as needed)

4. Web Redirect Cleanup        # Remove orphaned .uz files

💾 SmartBackup

Access via Main Menu → S. SmartBackup

Comprehensive backup system with safety checks.

Features

Disk Space Validation - Checks available space before backup
Size Estimation - Shows backup size before creation
Timestamp Format - YYMMDD-HHMM for easy sorting
Selective Backup - UT server, web redirect, or both
Backup Management - List, delete by age, restore
Script Backup - Includes UTKeeper itself + /upload/installed


1. Backup UT Server         - Backup entire UT installation
2. Backup Web Redirect      - Backup web redirect directory
3. Backup Both             - UT + Web in one operation
4. Backup This Script      - Backup UTKeeper + /upload/installed
5. List Backups            - Show all available backups
6. Delete Old Backups      - Remove backups by age
7. Show Disk Space         - Current usage statistics

B. Back to Main Menu

Backup Location

All backups saved to: ./Backups/

Backups/
├── ut_backup_260127-1430.zip      # UT server backup

├── both_backup_260127-1435.zip    # Combined backup
└── script_backup_260127-1440.zip  # UTKeeper backup

Backup Strategy

Recommended Schedule:

Before major changes - Always backup before running Distribution
Weekly - Regular UT server backups
After map installs - Backup after successful installations
Before orphan cleanup - Backup before deleting orphans

Retention:

Keep last 7 daily backups
Keep last 4 weekly backups
Keep monthly backups for 6 months

🔨 UCC Binary Update

The UCC binary is used for compression (.uz creation) and dependency extraction.

Location: UT_BASE_PATH/System/ucc-bin

If your UCC is from a UT client (not server), it may not support compression.

Update UCC (if needed)

Check examples/ucc.txt for UCC binary info
Replace your UCC with a server-compatible version
Make executable: chmod +x System/ucc-bin System64/ucc-bin

Note: SNAFU Fix automatically sets UCC permissions.

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"ERROR: PROJECT_ROOT not set!"

You called a lib script directly
Always run: ./utkeeper.sh

"Config file not found"

Run: Main Menu → 8. Configuration
Complete the setup wizard

"UCC binary not found"

Check: UT_BASE_PATH/System/ucc-bin
See examples/ucc.txt for replacement

"Permission denied"

Run with: sudo ./utkeeper.sh
Or fix ownership: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER .

"No orphans found" (but you know there are some)

Re-run: Extract Dependencies (Option 1)
Then: Generate Whitelist (Option 2)
The database may be outdated

"Too many orphans (50+)"

This indicates a problem
Consider clean UT reinstall
Or review whitelist patterns

Log Files

Check for errors:

# System logs
sudo journalctl -u utserver -n 50

# UT server log
tail -f /opt/utserver/System/UnrealTournament.log

# Apache/Nginx logs
sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
sudo tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log

Getting Help

Read the README (you're here!)
Check examples/ directory for service configs
Test in DryRun mode first
