Voting problem .....

Mephisto · Post by **Mephisto** » Mon Nov 22, 2004 2:04 am

Hi,

I made already several post about this, but maybe you guys have an idea..

If I asked already someone, please accept my applogies ... I just don´t no anymore what to do ...

We have now a new public server which is only for ChaosUT2 (IP tba)....

Everything was perfect until we installed UT2Vote .....

We can vote vor everything like DM, iDM and so on ...

As soon as we going into Duel, we can only chose the weapon once (at the beginning) and then we have to fight with this weapon until the end ...

Also, the map list is totally empty .. we are not able to vote any other map at all ... The only way is vote for DM, and then back to Duel ...

Has SOMEONE an idea and / or came already across that problem ?

Any help is highly appreciated .......

What version of mapvote are you using? I have not used it in a little while now, but i'll take a look and see. And which version of Chaos do you have installed 3.6? What else are you running on your machine (which mutators, mods, etc)?

Mep

I ask Flak who runs the NBS servers as she had it at one time:

Flak: not sure, that's why we took out ut2vote and went back to the stock map vote
Flak: we had the same issue

For what its worth...

Ah, ok ...

Do you think it would make some sence to put in the relevant UT2Vote parts of the default.ini in the default.ini of the mod ? Also putting in the ut2vote.ini in the mod folder ?

Unfortunately I am not able to test it straight away because currently I am not able to restart the server for configuration changes ,.....

So you only get the one weapon in Duel right? Have a link for that UT2Vote? Let me try it and see...

Well, also I cannot vote any map . as soon as I am in Duel...

Melee option is only possible when the match starts ....

I have to vote for DM, then back to Duel and then of course I am able to chose a different map ......

Mephisto,

I downloaded 4.7 of UT2 Vote and gave it a whirl. I was able to vote in duel using your UT2vote4.7 ini file you posted. Once in duel I still could vote for any duel maps. However it seems that UT2 knocked out part of our GUI interface. Its not allowing out in game menu's to load. Which means it wont let our Client option menu load nor the Duel Melee weapon choice. I wish I could offer more help but it sounds and looks like UT2Vote does not like to play with Chaos.... I guess we can try to email the author and see if they can tweak this for their next version?

Apperently the TDW was able to use UT2Vote ...

I am still testing.. But first I want to get it running without UT2Vote ...

Here is how I startet the server now :

Code: Select all

The Server is now running like a standard server but with ChaosWeapons etc.....

How can I configure it now, that I am able to switch between DM and Duel ? Is it enough just to create a mapvoting thingi with Duel Maps ?

Ok, got it ...

I am able now to start via

ucc server Duel-Branwen.ut2?game=ChaosGames.ChaosDuel ini=ut2004.ini

The within the game I can switch between DM, CHaosDM, Duel etc.....

The Readme should really be updated

It is not THAT easy as you guys explain in the manual

Except you arent enabling the mutator (no -mod or mutator args) and you are forcing the ini file (which is fine in most cases except as mentioned in the other thread that a special ini file is created when you use the -mod switch in the UT2004\ChaosUT2\System folder, which has all the lines that are needed auto-added assuming you have a relatively fresh UT2004.ini file in your main folder).

I am sure our ini-text file needs to be updated as well. Will do that tonight.
