This is an old and currently outdated version of Sanctum. Stick around for a new and highly improved version.
Uploaded a new, working version of the zip.
This is the alpha-version of Sanctum. It does contain bugs and lacks plenty of content that will be added later. We're happy to hear about your impressions and experiences of Sanctum and therefore encourage you to write comments and/or send us E-mails directly to Henriknik (at) hotmail.com

Update: Due to the problems with the corrupt files, we've chosen to upload torrents of both a complete working zip and a fix containing only the three files that have been corrupted for some downloaders:
Complete Zip: Thepiratebay.org
Fix (Containing 3 packages): Thepiratebay.org
- Description -
Sanctum is a total conversion mod for Unreal Tournament 3. It is being developed during a ten week long school project by Coffee Stain Studios, a group consisting of eleven university students at Högskolan i Skövde, Sweden. Sanctum is a first person tower defense game where you take on the role as Skye, a female elite soldier. Your sole purpose is to defend your hometown, Elysion One, from the invading force of mysterious alien creatures. Choose from different defensive formations and upgrade deadly gatling turrets to aid you in the defense of the city. Use hand held weapons to give you an advantage.
The underlying reason for developing Sanctum was to take the popular tower defense game mode and get it into a first person perspective. We also developed a quite unique and outstanding art style and feel of the game, being communicated through choice of colours, musical theme and design on world objects. The style is in distinct contrast to the overall look and feel of Unreal Tournament 3 and thus proves that something very different can be produced by the popular engine.
The decision of making a total conversion was made so that we could produce all original
content instead of re-using the content by Unreal Tournament 3. This means that all the models,
textures, sounds and music is or will be developed by us. We are planning on further developing Sanctum in a direction where we add Co-op, different game types and additional turret, enemy and weapon types.
Downloading ....
aaaa i cant wait
This mod is broken, 3 fragile files make the program unable to open, I have windows 64x bit but I don't think it matters.
Same here. The erroneous files are Sanctum_Bridge_Glas.upk, Sanctum_Bridge_Misc.upk and Sanctum_Music.upk in the Unpublished\Packages folder.
Archive is broken. I confirm this too
We know of this and have uploaded torrents to alleviate this problem. You can find the links to the torrents in the full description and in the comments.
There is both a complete zip and a fix for those of you who only want the corrupted packages.
We've gotten reports about these errors. The strange thing is that it apparently has worked for some people. We are working on solving this and are very sorry for the trouble it may have caused.
I guess it's always like that, no matter how many times you check it for errors, it manages to break somehow anyway ;)
Thanks for the reports!
Perhaps have some of those people upload the 3 files? :)
doesnt work for me too, please upload the files:
Sanctum_Bridge_Glas.upk
Sanctum_Bridge_Misc.upk
Sanctum_Music.upk.
Same here, perhaps use rar or 7zip as compression instead? :O
Add a moddb (Amsterdam) mirror please!
The Amsterdam mirror should be working. At least it does for me when I try it. And we're still looking into the corrupt files which, from my reports, do not show up for everyone. We're working on trying to pinpoint the problem.
I've also heard that the game should work fine even with those packages showing up as corrupt. But I can't be 100% sure that this is without some drawbacks.
I can confirm that the 3 files crash ut3 in some way. Removing them allows the game to start.
It's something to do with Filefront, it's been happening with a number of files lately.
That would explain it. The zip worked well before I uploaded it and it worked well now when we double-checked. I don't have access to those three packages right now but I'll make sure to patch it as soon as I can.
Thanks for the updated reports :)
Put up a Texas Moddb mirror
I think the Texas mirror should be working? It pops up for me when I try. I hope you got it working :)
I get these errors:
Warning: Failed to load 'Class Sanctum.SanctumUIDataStore_MenuItems': Failed to find object 'Class Sanctum.SanctumUIDataStore_MenuItems'
Warning: Failed to find object 'Class Sanctum.SanctumUIDataStore_MenuItems'
Log: Failed to find object 'Class Sanctum.SanctumUIDataStore_MenuItems'
Warning: Failed to load GlobalDataStoreClass 'Sanctum.SanctumUIDataStore_MenuItems'
That's just a few lines, there are a lot, lot more things it fails to load.
Then is goes on about fail to load elements from Sanctum City and Sanctum Bridge or something.
I'm using the steam version (But it looks like your shortcut is cut for the steam version, so it cant be that)
I Found out my error, .ZIP extraction is terrible, compress with RAR in future. It didn't extract most of the files for some reason, please use RAR in future I beg of you X_X
EDIT: Nope still doesn't work
Great even more of the ZIP spontainiously didn't extract. Honestly use RAR. PLEASE!
I hear your complaints but it's not that simple. We had our reasons to use zip instead of rar. But we will work to solve this problem. At the moment we think there has been some error between the mirrors resulting in some people getting the corrupt zip.
The problem should get fixed today. Thank you for your patience.
I am looking forward to using your mod once you get the three files fixed I'm sure it will be a really great change from the usual.
I still can't see any mirrors other than the Filefront one.
That's strange. I can see all three. Filefront and the two ModDB ones; Amsterdam and Texas.

Will you be uploading the patch here? I'd rather not use TPB.
For now I will not upload it here directly. The problem was related to uploading such a huge file in one go through a web browser, and/or in the transmission between the different mirrors. There should be no reason at all not to use TPB in this case. Personally I think torrents are a great way of transmitting these kinds of files that do not have a dedicated server but still have to be uploaded to people from across the globe. I can however not force nor even encourage anyone of you to share my view on this.
If you got any better ideas, feel free to share them.
If it's only a few of the files (ie the patch) you shouldn't encounter a problem caused by large files and it seems silly to have the broken download here and not a fix for it.
It is just a File Front problem as I've encountered it with a couple of other downloads recently and using the ModDB Amsterdam mirror instead provided a perfectly working version of the file, but for some reason the two ModDB mirrors aren't appearing for me for this download.
I have now also uploaded the fixed version to ModDB. I can however not guarantee that it will work better, this time I'm however 100% sure that the file worked when I started to upload, but it could once again have gotten corrupted somewhere along the way. I'm sure I'll get to hear reports if that's the case.
I've got ModDB EU and US mirrors this time so even if the FileFront one is borked it doesn't matter.
