[resolved] Crash on Startup

[R.Flagg]

R.Flagg, ok, what missing files?

Well, we're not sure yet. But we're still trying to help. Mass and Jb have mentioned possible things for example. But we do not know which will apply to you.

Such as making sure you are using the full mod, not just a patch.

Make sure you're not trying to patch an ECE version of Chaos. To use the newest Chaos patches you must 1st have Chaos 3.6 installed.

Make sure you have installed the zip correctly. Chaos has it's own folder inside of UT2004, and All files except one go in there (in respective subfolders) Our maps do not go in UT2004/maps, our textures do not go in UT2004/texutres..., and so on.

We still do not have reason to believe that there is an issue with the Chaos files. At this point we still believe it's most likely some sort of install error. If you're willing to keep chatting with us about it, and maybe even try some dif stuff... we'll try to help you figure out what's going on.

[Lethargy]

Patch is for 3.6 to 3.7; 3.6 is not the version from the ECE release. The other guys having this problem, please verify that you are either updating from 3.6 or doing a full install. All your chaos files should be located in \UT2004\ChaosUT2\. There should be only one file in \UT2004\System, the ChaosUT2.ucl.

Did the full install from the umod version, had no previous version installed, and all the files are indeed in the proper places.

If you're willing to keep chatting with us about it, and maybe even try some dif stuff... we'll try to help you figure out what's going on.

I'm not going anywhere

Try a resinstall of UT2004 as that has fixed errors like this before??

I really want to avoid reinstalling... I just can't justify the amount of a pain in the ass it would be for playing a mod, no matter how excellent of mod it may be. I may do it if I need to, but I would like to avoid it.

Lethargy,
can undstand that. However re-installing will not effect any of your other mods. So its makes that task a bit easier...

yeah, but it'll effect my weapon priorities, utcomp settings, binds, favorites, and all sorts of other stuff. would take me hours to find it all in the various ini's in order to back up, and if i copied the entire ini it might cause the problem to carry over, and cause errors because i'd have ini entries for stuff i would no longer have. but like i said, if there are no options i'll try it, but ima wait and see first.

[Narse]

I've been having a somewhat similar problem (so it seems to me, really I have no Idea what I'm talking about) and I posted about it in the Missing Someting thread because I didnt realize it was related. I would post it here but its long.

[R.Flagg]

I installed version 3.7 ... and have ece and 3369...

but whenever I try to run it I get this... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v689/ ... aosut2.jpg

unfortunately the log appears to be completely blank.

all files are where they should be and the proper size (checked one by one with zip, I used the umod to install initially).

.... try deleting your ini's... Also make sure there is only ChaosUT.ucl in your UT/System directory.

tried it with the chaos.ini and chaosuser.ini, as well as my user.ini and ut2004.ini

I really want to avoid reinstalling... , if there are no options i'll try it, but ima wait and see first.

Also, I had pretty much the same problem with 3.6 before the latest version came out.

A few folks with possibly different issues in one thread had me confused.

This is a case-history of Lethargy. I don't know what else to say just yet. Though we need to keep in mind the fact that his issue also existed back in 3.6, which puts it into a different category than what we expected to see just now.

Edit: ended up just splitting up these into seperate threads. ah well

Hi guys

Well I had the same exactly issue with Lethargy and I just solved it!!

the problem is that chaos use some files frm cbp2 (cummunity bonus pack 2).

how i found it? well i looked over the minidmp file that's been created after the crash

so Lethargy, just install cbp2 and run chaos!

[MassChAoS]

What files?

[Lethargy]

so Lethargy, just install cbp2 and run chaos!

I have both volumes of cbp2 and cbp1 as well

[hatdi]

hm maybe reinstall em?

I don't know, I think this have to do with some missing files like textures or something.

Lethargy,

do you have a ChaosUT2.txt lying around? Best guess is its anotehr mod or upl file thats causing the crash.... let us know as we want you to get it working ASAP!!!

[Lethargy]

I searched my ut2004 directory (and all subdirectories) for anything with the word chaos in it, couldn't find ChaosUT2.txt.

But I do agree it's likely that it's another mod. I'm not at my computer right now, so I can't be sure, but I think the only other mods I have are jailbreak, unwheel, and the classic unreal beta.

[MassChAoS]

ChaosUT2.log, not .txt

[Lethargy]

YES! Now we can actually make some progress, I reinstalled the mod tried to run it again, still didn't work but this time at least the log isn't blank.

:EDIT:
GOT IT WORKING!!!!!!!!
Apparently "manteamassassin.upl" was keeping it from running for some reason. Iirc, I got that file when I tried to connect to a server that didn't have redirect, so I googled it and installed it myself to join the server. It was a custom skin or something, don't remember, but anyway, I deleted it and, it works now .

yea
