When I have serverpackages active, such as a custom voice or mutator.. and I host a multiplayer game, it doesn't seem to work for aybody except myself.

For example, if I run the mapvote mutator, only I can vote. If I run the batthwap mutator, only I can see the thwaps.. and if I run a custom voice, only I can hear it.

Sorry for the spam, but I can't figure this one out. Anybody want to tell me how dumb I am, and what i'm doing wrong? Thanks a bunch! :D

Are you sure that the mutator/mod that you use is in unrealtournamen.ini ?

it should look something like this

serverpackage=mutator/mod(the name of the file containing the mod/mutator)

Hmmm....

you dont run a dedicated server?
if you use UCC to start a server you need to add the serverpackages to server.ini because i dont think that the mutators/mods add themselfes to the server.ini
try to add the mods/mutators to the server.ini anyway its worth the try...
now im out of advice :(

People probably hate questions about questions but so few threads actually touch on this subject that I wanted to get another question in. Is there a limit to serverpacks in the UnrealTournament.ini file? I can not set up a multiplayer Lan game any time I get over 19 serverpacks. When I try the game just exits with no error message or anything. It doesn't matter what type of serverpack I try to add (voice, skin, or mod) I have been polling the community in hopes of finding someone in the know.

xfuture, I don't believe there is a limit to the number of serverpackages you can add to the UT.ini file. If I am wrong please someone out there correct me. I 2 run a multiplayer LAN setup between 2 computers vis direct cable. I have experienced the same problems where I run a multiplayer game and I am returned to windows. Did you enter the serverpackage name manually after adding the files to the textures and system folder or was it automatically entered by installing a umod file? I have found that some serverpackage=whateverthenameis does not always work because it does not match what in the system folder. For example, I have the obiwan skin package that requirs 2 lines. (serverpackages=obiwan & serverpackages=obiwanskins). Now granted this example is a umod that automatically enters the correct line into the code for you. I'm not sure about the other files out there that are non-umod type that you have to enter manually. A lot of them do not mention anything about adding the serverpackage line for multiplayer gaming non the less knowing if it needs 2 lines like the example above.

Its a direct peer-to-peer setup from one ethernet card to the other ethernet card in the second computer.
