not entirely chaos related but still annoying

[the_ultimate_samurai]

i used the arena mutator with the chaos mutator. well i dont know if it was an interaction between the two that caused the error or just the gun i chose was poorly made. but when i went into a deathmatch with those options, the game crashed. and now it wont run at all. the log says this:

i rolled back my game folder to a previous version (one without the gun in it) but not my personal folder (the one in my home dirrectory.) since i dont have a previous version of this. i need to know what i need to do to get this working again. i tried renaming my personal ut folder but the game didnt even begin to load then. (renaming the folder is about the same as deleting it only its less perminate kinda like puting a section of code in block comments) like i said im not sure if this is a result of the chaos mutator or not. (btw i still need help on the chaos mod so see my other topic PLEASE!!!)

Hmm, nothing writes? Did you delete anything here or is it ACTUAL log? I'm outta answers here, sorry... That "critical" part bothers me all the time

[the_ultimate_samurai]

thats the entire log. so your saying nothing writes? hmm that explains why it occures in normal user but not root. it shouldnt happen in root.

[jb]

Did you get it working yet? Sorry for the trouble.

[the_ultimate_samurai]

nope. im still without UT. can someone please help?

[jb]

did you try to remove the ut2004.ini?

[the_ultimate_samurai]

it completely seaces functioning when i remove the ut2004.ini

[jb]

Well thats strange as in windows systems it auto generates a default UT2004.ini that has just the basic settings and this gets us by a few issues.... I will have to check into it a bit more..

[the_ultimate_samurai]

ok now im sure this is chaos related. normaly it wont make a new ut2004.ini but for some reason this time it did. with that new ini the game runs fine but no chaos. when i add in the Paths= in the core.ini, it stops working. and when i remove them again, it works again. this leads me to believe the problem is caused by those paths lines.

[jb]

Adding the paths is ONLY needed when you want to run chaos in normal UT2004 as a mut.


I am kind of getting confused with this and the other thread so lets just use that one
