I understand that, and I will try wiping out my ini and starting with a new, clean one just to see what happens.

Here's what I am seeing though. The game was deathmatch. I voted to deathball and the new game was accepted. When the maplist came up to allow me to pick a map to start with, this is what I saw. These are all deathball maps, they should have the DB prefix.. but they don't.

I took the screenshot and then hit escape. The menu closed. I immediately reopened it and the correct prefix was there. I don't get it.

So what you are saying is that only the prefixes were wrong - DM onstead of DB ?
What happens if you first goto CTF then to DeathBall does it now show CTF-1ono1-Gaga ?

Correct. Whatever gametype is in effect, that prefix will appear in the voting window with the new mapnames.

I've been troubleshooting on my end with a new ini which didn't help, then removal of all mods/mutes/gamemake gametypes. I've had some limited success as a messenger chat with Sh0v3l is showing..

Bill/Imaginos says:
I'll remove everything and see what happens
sh0V3L says:
yeah it is
sh0V3L says:
yeah start removing untill the problem stops
Bill/Imaginos says:
did this before and nothing fixed it
sh0V3L says:
ya i believe it i dont think its in the configs
sh0V3L says:
but why did it stop on mine
sh0V3L says:
maybe because i dont have any mods or gamemake games
Bill/Imaginos says:
hmm I have some gamemake ones.
sh0V3L says:
try removing those
Bill/Imaginos says:
thinking about ditching all the int files too
sh0V3L says:
i did the map ones
sh0V3L says:
only the .u files int's were spared lol
Bill/Imaginos says:
ok, the db map prefixes came up now
Bill/Imaginos says:
first try as well. I blame excessive
sh0V3L says:
ya and thats afyter removing gamemake games ??
Bill/Imaginos says:
all extra stuff
sh0V3L says:
yeah good move
sh0V3L says:
now which one was it lol
Bill/Imaginos says:
I'll add gamemake stuff back in next
sh0V3L says:
there ya go
Bill/Imaginos says:
I still blame excessive
sh0V3L says:
yeah its a roughly coded mut
Bill/Imaginos says:
oh dear. it's a gamemake game
sh0V3L says:
yeah its screwin up
Bill/Imaginos says:
gamemake games aren't even active
sh0V3L says:
and what a gamemake game is showing up ?
Bill/Imaginos says:
nono. they are in the system dir. removing them all made it work correctly. putting them back in brought the bug back.. now I'm testing them one by one
sh0V3L says:
oh ok i see just thier existance does it wow
Bill/Imaginos says:
screwy. i tested my most recent one first. it bugs the server
sh0V3L says:
something changed since ben made gamemake in the game classes then
Bill/Imaginos says:
removed it and it worked cleanly again
sh0V3L says:
ok there we have it
Bill/Imaginos says:
I'll put jailbreak back into the system
sh0V3L says:
makes sense cuz ive removed all mine too
sh0V3L says:
ok
Bill/Imaginos says:
not cool. adding jailbreak back into the directory breaks it again
sh0V3L says:
hum
sh0V3L says:
it dont like mods either
Bill/Imaginos says:
it works ok with deathball and the stock gametypes
Bill/Imaginos says:
anything else tho... and nogo
sh0V3L says:
good your db werks
Bill/Imaginos says:
my bread and butter
sh0V3L says:
yep
sh0V3L says:
lol
Bill/Imaginos says:
oop. holdon. I have ut2004, deathball, serverext, utan, ut2vote, bombball/gravityvol (db mutators) and the dummymut in the system path and it works
sh0V3L says:
it works then
Bill/Imaginos says:
that's what I have in the system dir and it still works. add any gamemake games or jailbreak and it doesn't work
Bill/Imaginos says:
I'll readd satore monsters now -- aw, satore breaks it too

But that leaves me wondering why this isn't affecting everyone else too. I know there's other people running multiple mods.. they'll have to notice this too.

Well I had a look through the code and yes it is possible but then it must have happened on all the versions to date as being during the game, everyone receives the Replication at different times and it becomes very difficult to clear anything whereas at game end where everyuthing is stationary its very easy and thats the only explanation I can find although I see there was a lot of extra code added in 44 for some reason.

Can you remember if it did this in UT2Vote43 ?

Btw - I still cannot get it to happen here regardless of what I try :)

i just found someone, who also has the sporadic map-prefix-mixups, but he also sees no pattern...
