missing sounds

[Metakill]

This has been a problem for quite a while: In practice matches, the sound effects for health pickups don't play. They still play in the game-ladder, or online games (that I'm not hosting). Anybody know what controls this? I will not accept 'Dude, you better reinstall UT and all your mods:rolleyes: ', as an answer. If nobody knows, I can accept it.

That's pretty strange. It can't be missing bc if they were you would get an error saying can;t find package*.*

My guess is a mod or mutator screwed it up. How long has this been happening. Try to associate that with the mutators you've installed since then.
Also check your file system settings. THere's a few lines in the UT.ini that direct where certain files come from and what extension they use. I remeber a mutator I installed overwrote the music line before.

Hmm, I have several directories for all the file types (so I can use files from my UT dir, Unreal dir, and Unreal Gold CD without having to copy them all). Maybe another file with the same name is getting in the way.

Unfortunately, it's been a while and I have lot's of mods. Oldskool seems to cause unpradictable anomalies in the sound tho, sometimes levels or weapons are missing sounds, or the music for some levels doesn't play.
