this is what I have in the config relating to the mod:

[Core.System]
PurgeCacheDays=30
SavePath=../Save
CachePath=../Cache
CacheExt=.uxx
CacheRecordPath=../System/*.ucl
MusicPath=../Music
SpeechPath=../Speech
Paths=../System/*.u
Paths=../Maps/*.ut2
Paths=../Textures/*.utx
Paths=../Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../Music/*.umx
Paths=../StaticMeshes/*.usx
Paths=../Animations/*.ukx
Paths=../Saves/*.uvxl
+CacheRecordPath=../ChaosUT2/System/*.ucl
+MusicPath=../ChaosUT2/Music
+Paths=../ChaosUT2/Maps/*.ut2
+Paths=../ChaosUT2/Sounds/*.uax
+Paths=../ChaosUT2/StaticMeshes/*.usx
+Paths=../ChaosUT2/System/*.u
+Paths=../ChaosUT2/Textures/*.utx
+Paths=../System/*.upl

+ServerPackages=ChaosGames
+ServerPackages=ChaosUT

PS. It has crashed my home system a couple times switching game types for some reason.But mostly it works.

next I seem to be having trouble getting the gravbelt ect. to work in game, I found this list in the "defuser.ini", but either they aren't working or I don't know what to expect? Am I missing something that should be in the config for it?

[Engine.Input]
B=mutate UseBelt
G=mutate Kick
H=mutate HookUp
LeftBracket=mutate Spraypaint
X=ChaosWeaponOption
Y=dropflag
Z=changeammo
Alt=mutate Hook

I push these keybinds in game but nothing appears to happen.

(Also I tried to put +paths on my home computer in the ini file and it screwed it up and would crash every time I tried to join the server, I had to reinstall to fix it, is it different or did I just make a mistake some where?)

-----

ChaosUT default.ini:

LocalMap=ChaosNoIntro.ut2 [Core.S... do I put the weapon= lines? Thanks, Shane

Only a partial answer as I'm nowhere near a server at the moment.

this is what I have in the config relating to the mod:

[Core.System]
+CacheRecordPath=../ChaosUT2/System/*.ucl
+MusicPath=../ChaosUT2/Music
+Paths=../ChaosUT2/Maps/*.ut2
+Paths=../ChaosUT2/Sounds/*.uax
+Paths=../ChaosUT2/StaticMeshes/*.usx
+Paths=../ChaosUT2/System/*.u
+Paths=../ChaosUT2/Textures/*.utx
+Paths=../System/*.upl

+ServerPackages=ChaosGames
+ServerPackages=ChaosUT

I've never seen paths added with the "+" notation (it might be valid - it's just that I've never seen it), "Paths=" on its own should be sufficient. Ditto for ServerPackages.

PS. It has crashed my home system a couple times switching game types for some reason.But mostly it works.

You might need to add a similar set of "Paths" statements to the clients.

In any event, there should be a UT2004.log (or similar) on the client system. Post the contents (edited) from when that happens.

next I seem to be having trouble getting the gravbelt ect. to work in game, I found this list in the "defuser.ini", but either they aren't working or I don't know what to expect? Am I missing something that should be in the config for it?

Are you doing this on the server or the client? Keybind settings on the server will (AFAIK) not have any effect - keybindings are client settings.


(Also I tried to put +paths on my home computer in the ini file and it screwed it up and would crash every time I tried to join the server, I had to reinstall to fix it, is it different or did I just make a mistake some where?)

See the earlier comment regarding the use of the "+" notation.

How do I get to the command line on a rented server? sorry but I still don't know what this means or how to get to were to put it either?

cd ~/System
./ucc-bin .....

I found this line in the config file, is it related?

CdPath=\server\UT2004\Versions\UT2004-Final-DVD-You-can-install-from-here\CD1

You would have to ask the game host about commandline access - that is not a game specific item.

"That said, as far as I can see, packageflags is missing from the Linux dedicated server."

will those commands add packageflags or is it something extra that needs to be put in the server for the commands to work?

I do not believe that they will. I suspect that the Linux dedicated server is "broken" in that respect.


How do you get something like this to work, there are no instructions with it?

My good computer broke, fan went bad in power supply, cooooked it.

so when i get the server fixed up to this point you explained i will get back with more questions. Probly mostly after I get my good computer working again, as it has all my files and stuff.

Today I rented a new server too, the first UT 1999.

doesent seem to be a voteing thing?

well any way my brain is still scrambled but need a few days of no thinking hard to get back on track any way.

Thanks, Shane

I have tried evry combination but no luck, have you ever been in a map and when you fire a weapon no prjectiles spit forth from the weapon, and eventuly you realize you are alone in your little world and have to go to the server browser and rejoin the server to interact with others?

Well nearly every time I type "adminlogin password" it does that.

I have tried it from the web admin page also.

here is what my config looks like.

[UWeb.WebServer]
Applications[0]=UTServerAdmin.UTServerAdmin
ApplicationPaths[0]=/ServerAdmin
Applications[1]=UTServerAdmin.UTImageServer
ApplicationPaths[1]=/images
DefaultApplication=0
ListenPort=8080
bEnabled=True

[UBrowser.UBrowserHTTPClient]
ProxyServerAddress=
ProxyServerPort=

[UTServerAdmin.UTServerAdmin]
AdminUsername=*****
AdminPassword=*****

I changed the time out settings, so it doesn't time out on me for the most part but it still ignores my adminlogin attempts.

I reinstalled both the server and my home computer and it still doesn't work, I can only assume it is maybe my windows install or something.

any more ideas?

Run a dedicated server locally on your usual PC. Just use the Windows dedicated server so that you can keep the configuration separate from your client PC configuration. Set it up with (as near as possible) the same configuration that you use on the hired dedicated server and start it running.

It will run as a background task and then you should start up your usual UT client. You'll see the local dedicated server running in one of the browser tabs (depends on how you set it up). Try doing the adminlogin to the local server.

If nothing else, it will provide a local resource to try out configuration changes before applying them to your live server.

Make sure that the Windows firewall is properly configured (Google is your friend) for both the client and the local server.

well I got the UT99 server going ok and figured out my adminlogin problem now I found a vote mutator "x3dfxMapvotev24c" that says it can enable buttons for some mutators to be voted for, but the problem now is for example there is everything from relics to translocator enable in the webadmin page, but when I go to the config file to find out the command line and copy and paste them into the mapvote ini there is no mutator command lines in the config.

This is a piece out of the config file, I need to know what the mutators names are ect.
------------------------------------------
OtherClass=
MapPreFixOverRide=
PreFixSwap=
MinPlayersForTeamGames=0
; for ExtraMutators=, which is for ALL buttons.
ExtraMutators=
ExtraMutators1=
-------------------------------------------------------

so I am stuck on that one for now.



My ut2004 server, I still haven't got chaosut to work right, I still haven't figured out how to get the keybinds enabled so you get the special weapons but you cant switch amo or use the grav belt ect.

and when you vote in a duel game after the first game it wont produce a map list it just plays the same map over and over, i stuck in another comand line under a diferent name and when we play chaosut duel we just switch game types back and forth, realy the same game.
