Chaotic Dreams

So here's the solution. There are default properties in the Chaos code that control some of the grapple sound volumes; the volumes for the other are in the code. The sounds are executed in two files (in ChaosGames.u, two code files Grapple_hook.uc and Grapple_inv.uc) with a function "PlaySound(...

Thanks for the effort, Dorian. I've actually made some progress on other fronts (thanks to your help). As I said earlier, I made a mutator that makes the changes to the ERDW ammo and the ERDW ammo pickup. I also made a new vehicle deathmatch gametype with a new HUD--that has a minimap: I copy-pasted...

Thanks. I won't bother you too much. With the grapple sound, I tried the mutator route first. I decompiled, found all the sound volume/sound radius stuff I could find, and changed it in the mutator I made. Class'ChaosUT.HoverGrappleHook'.Default.SoundVolume = 75; Class'ChaosUT.HoverGrappleHook'.Defa...

I have Radar2004; it doesn't accomplish the goal because it shows the enemies (and so I would like more of a minimap than a radar), and doesn't have the terrain. I guess I'll work on that VTDM gametype... I appreciate your time, Dorian. I just have one more tiny, little question. As stated earlier I...

So I made the mutator. Good idea: it works great. I don't really know how to script (at all), and so I learned a lot in making this mutator (it being my first an' all). Now I want to make mutators for everything--including for this long-standing problem; maybe you can help me. I play vehicle deathma...

I guess I am a little enthusiastic, but it's not because I'm a fanboy. We take games at little more seriously around here, as we use them for training. Ever hear how playing chess can make you smarter? Well, if properly constructed, games can fix a wide variety of psychological problems. Without goi...

I wanted to make some changes to Chaos--nothing major, just things I can't find a mutator to do. We only want to play on a LAN (five computers in one room), so I don't mind making changes to all of the computers; I'm just a little stuck. A) I want to turn down the sould effect volume on the grapple ...

We've enjoyed ChaosUT2 ever since I downloaded it. The maps were O.K., the pick-ups were good, and the weapons were very good. However, in particular we liked the grapple. We would play vehicle deathmatch on onslaught maps (our favorite is Crossfire); the fast-paced, three-dimensional fighting that ...

So I tried Fraps like you said: it didn't work as well as I had hoped. I downloaded a demo version and used a dual core computer (pretty fast) to recorded 30 seconds of Chaos (in 1920x1080). The recording worked fine, but the game was choppy during the recording. Did you get this, too?

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question; I wasn't exactly sure where to put it. In any case, I would like to save replays of Chaos--i.e., I would like to record the games I play on my PC to burn it to DVD. (It will help immensely with instruction.) I tried using a program that save...

I have another question. I hooked up my computer to a high-definition television and I must admit, the game looks much better on a 50 inch widescreen television than it does on a 19 in computer monitor. There's the problem, though: it's not widescreen. Chaos usually gives me a set of resolutions--in...

I found the problem. You guys said that some of the system files aren't generated until you run Chaos for the first time. I thought I'd done this, because I use Chaos UI all the time (instead of UT UI). As it turns out, I hadn't: apparentily, "running" Chaos is actually running a Chaos gam...

I ran it already. I ran the ChaosUT2 and the UT2004 (for completeness). Don't know what I did wrong: it works fine on our Windows XPs--the five Windows XPs we have here. That's why I think it's Vista. But what do I know.

Tech woes are depressing.

Thanks, genman1{HHR} for the UAC information. It actually fixed another Vista problem I was having. But I digress... So I turned off UAC and reinstalled Chaos 3.7 with via .ZIP, and then Chaos 3.75 via .UMOD; still, no ChaosUT2.ini file in the UT2004/Chaos/System folder. Any suggestions, guys? SJC

I installed 3.7, and then 3.75, and still no .ini file. I am installing it on Vista, so the User Access Control may be the problem. If I only knew what that was... Hmmm...
