Looks like Chaos can't fully work on Free Dedicated Server

Post by Rythmix »

I had UT2004 on my PC with ChaosUT2 installed on it, I installed free dedicated server and installed ChaosUT2 on that too.

If i ran Chaos from the UT2004 full folder it ran fine and showed me all mutators I had available, including having the proper mapvoting.

If I run Chaos from the Free Dedicated server folder, it will run but only show me mutators that I have added to the folder, none of the default ones, unless I run no mutators, then I see them all. If I run any mutators beside the chaosgames one, the map voting shows only Ut2k4 game types/maps, none of the chaos game types.

So it looks like I will need to install UT2004, but use the CD-Key for server, this should fix my problems. Ill update. Is this a known issue?

CONFIRMED! Chaos will not work properly with the free dedicated server if using other downloaded mutators. (See above post for why)
I installed my full game and it ran as expected, put mutators in normal ut2004/system directory and chaos ran them fine, including the chaosgames mutator and correct mapvoting gametypes, but in the free ded server you put them in the system directory and only the mutator will load, but not the chaosgames mutator

If possible devs, please look into this, I'd rather only have a 1G server instead of a 5G server, ya know?

Other than that, My server is runninng great with Nerfed health/shield, talk icon, and grapple/kick :) Come on in!

Map Voting with ChaosUT

Post by english_1969 »

I cannot seem to get the DUEL, KOTH maps to list in the map voting. I can use the CUT mutator with other games just fine.

I am using a dedicated free server. Any thoughts on this?

I have not personally tried this but last I knew I though it was working. Anyone else see this?

yes me! :)

It seems to run fine for me on free dedicated server when I run any chaos gametype and only the ChaosGames Mutator (grapple, kick, spraypaints). It loads fine, it loads the maps and gametypes fine.

Its just something with other 3rd-party muts. If they are put in the ut2004/system folder, they wont show up in webadmin. If you force them to be set in the command line, then the chaosgames mut wont load. If you put them into the Chaosut2/system folder, and force it to be set in the command line, webadmin only shows those mutators in the chaosut2/system folder AND only shows normal ut2004 gametypes.

It's weird and haven't quite figured out why its not working right. But it all works perfect if you use the full install of ut2004. Even when using the same CD key. I have 2 PCs, the main pc i play the game, the 2nd PC is server pc, i installed ut2004 on both with same cdkey, run my server and play on it with no problem, and all mutators show up properly in webadmin, and most work fine with chaos, so far only matrixmutator doesnt work, which makes sense since it modifies some movements that clash with chaos.
