The night before yesterday I wanted to start a Dedicated Server with CUT:King Of The Hill Gametype.
But I had some problems: I altered the Hill Time to 150 and activated "Alone On Hill" and started the server, but in game the Hill Time was always the standard Hill Time 120 and "Alone On Hill" was disabled... I seems that a dedicated KOTH server doesn't save these settings and reset it to standards. And when you enter the game with a team colored skin, the skin appears neutral in game... I tested it only with standard ut stuff without any additional mutator, too, but the problem was the same. And testing with the mutators I always use on my server: BDB Mapvote 3.02, Bloodtrails v2 and Who Pushed Me?, the MapVote doesn't work...
I tested it with Team KOTH Gametype and it worked good. The Team Colors work, also all the additional mutators, and the altered Hill Time, too. But only the "Alone On Hill" Function doesn't work.

hmm... this seems a good place to point out that the problems i had a while back with people connecting to my Jailbreak/chaos server has resurfaced. people will connect fine but be unable to play, have no hud, etc and to other players they have a ping in the 10,000s. they drop after the connection timeout. sometimes it works reconnecting a second time while frantically clicking the mouse (you dont automatically join a team in JB), but i cant tell where the issue is. my serverpackages ARE correct.

qazzTahngarth, are/were you using something like CSHP or UTPure at the time you're seeing that?
Because that sounds just like what I and others have seen with those programs, especially 56kers.
These anticheat programs have become very popular, but, as a result, it's tougher to filter out actual Chaos bug reports from bugs caused by something else.
Now, maybe that's not the case, but the only time I've seen it is on a CSHP/UTPure server. Of course there's a first for everything.

qazzTahngarth,
hmm something to keep in mind. I will get with you a bit later on the specifics and try to help. But one thing that is hurting us is the HUD. We have based it of the HUD the relics uses. However there is an know issue with the Relic HUD not working with others mods HUDs. So I was thinking to bring back an option from the GOTY days were if your playing with relics you have to check a box in the chaos config settings to get the HUD to work. This may solve the problem we have with the HUD not showing....

Never mind, the main thing is that it will work in future. 
I started a Sword Arena server (instead of KOTH) and I had with deatheater a pretty fun night with slashing and decaptiations...
@ R.Flagg, qazzTahngarth:
Yes, this is a UTPure problem, I had often problems to connect to Pure servers and I have an ADSL connection, not only 56k (and I know someone who had often the same problem with a T1 connection!): Missing HUDs or you are connected but you are a ghost and "godlike" you have infinte ammo and you are immortal, no fall damage, no death in lava lakes or fire, but you cannort hit anything and you see anyone...
This started with UTPureRC5t or 5u. Sometimes it worked but more times it didn't work and I need dozens of reconnects to enter a game. And when I had a real connect one second later I had often a "Connection failed".
Most times I saw only this screen with this Pure Logo in the left bottom corner and the text "Validating..." beneath it.
But I know to program a anti cheat protection is not an easy task especially to make it work everywhere.
Sometimes with newer UTPure versions I had also problems to connect to my own server. I am using UTPure because of its Valhalla Avatar support which allows every client to use custom skins.
It went worst and the last time I gave Pure a kick after I found a version of Valhalla Avatar which works without Pure.
After the release of the latest version UTPureRC53 a few days ago I tested it on my server and its going better, these connection problems occurs more seldom and only one (sometimes two) reconnect in this case and I can play.
But I don't know if I need UTPure and let it installed, when my server is online, I am online, too, so If there is a cheater I can kick him, and this Mapvote mutator has also a kickvote, where you can vote to kick a player. Besides my server is dedicated to fun play, too, so no one even need to cheat, and I wouldn't have any fun anymore when I would use one of these cheat programs...
So only feature to keep UTPure is this new implemented "Alien Technology", with this UT may have a more optimized and minimized bandwith usage, the readme says...

no, i havent used the relics recently... and the last time i did (in B4) the HUDs got along fine, even with JB's HUD, all three, it was fine.
I have valhalla avatar seperately. works fine. Besides, most of the people that are trying to cheat are playing base UT games anyway. I JB, Chaos, and others, ive never run into anyone who seemed to be using an aimbot or anything weird.
Could you move this thread to Server Administration?
