Help - MapVote303 not working

[SCAMuel]

Running MapVote on a dedicated Win2000 server. Says mapvote is loaded and running when check mutators via UT client, Remote Web Admin, and in server log but MapVote does not come up.
When connect to server I go straight into the game, no windows for configuring mapvote key, no download of necessary files - nothing.
I copied the int and u files to my system folder, added the serverpackages line, added it to my mutator list in both the unrealtournament.ini and to the batch file I use to start a dedicated server. Also, the bdbmapvote... section is not being created in the ini. I have started and stopped the server countless times and the section is not being created.

Here are the pertinent sections from my UnrealTournament.ini and the command line I am using to start a dedicated server. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. I am at my wits end.

Try entering MUTATE BDBMAPVOTE VOTEMENU at the console (when connected as a client) to see if the votemenu shows up.

If nothing happens, try moving ServerPackages=BDBMapVote303 to the top of the list (right behind the ServerActors).

Thanks for the input but...

My mistake it is working fine now. I hadn't realized that the client pc I was playing from already had map vote on it from a previous server I had played on - so when I connected nothing happened. Also, you have to finish a game for map vote to come up the first time. Then the entries are entered into the unrealtournament.ini.
Simply put everything is working correctly and as advertised.

Thanks

hmmm... ive gotta same problem... but i have a different system...

i have my dedicated ut server ver. 436 running on a mandrake linux 9.0 system. its running perfect, but bdbmapvote doesnt work. neither the welcome screen nor the voting at the end of the round...

the mutator is loaded and the serverpackages line is in my .ini too (the first serverpackages entry)

that should work... my client says that the mutator is used, but doesnt download anything (its a fresh ut install), no screens, showing up etc... mutate bdbmapvote votemenu doesnt work either...

can u help me???

Post or send me a log file from the server so we can
see whats going on.

... now it works... i dunno why but i think ucc didnt re-read the ut.ini... (although is shut it down completely...) now i have
a new startup script and it works perfectly...
i like it, keep developing!
