Here's a good one for someone. I've installed UT99 on my Steam Deck, and I want to install Mr. Pants' Excessive Overkill. In fact, this problem will exist for any modification that appears to be exclusively available as a .umod file, but as far as I can tell there is no way to install a .umod straight away on the Steam Deck. I'm also on a Mac primarily, so I'm guessing there is not program for extracting .umod files for either Linux or Mac. If there is, then great!...but I need to know what that program is.
If not, can someone perhaps provide with me the individual files for the mod within a .zip or other compressed file?

See this topic :

It should allow you to extract the umod and install its content manually.

You must construct additional pylons.

Tried this, but the prerequisite (Node.js) does not work on Steam Deck.

This perl script umodunpack.pl worked for me on Linux:

Isn't 7zip available for Linux?
There is a add-on for it as far as I know.

Can also use the web-based converter here: https://unrealarchive.org/umod/ if you don't want to install anything. It will convert a UMOD to plain old ZIP.
