@jb and team .... installation ChaosUT2 did not work .....

[Mephisto]

1st I have to say that this is really a great mod and therefore I decided to setup a public server where ONLY Chaos is supposed to run.

As already tried in IRC (big thanks jb) I started just now from scratch again to see if i am just too stupid or not ...

@all : I want to run a clan server on a Linux machine .. But as it is similiar with Windows here is my step by step installation ..

Please guide and help me, because if you read this : My installation did not work .... As agreed with jb, here my "walkthrough"

Ok, let's start.. I did not change anything else but the things you can see here :

Following files are just downloaded and saved on a clean partition :




So far so good....

=> renamed Dedicated to UT2004
=> Patch to 3339



=> ECE 1.1



=> Copy the Chaos Folder into the UT root ...



=> Confirm of course as the files have to be add to the system folder



Ok, as there is not really an ut2004.ini in the dedicated server ............

Thats the one we have already (not really usefull) .....

Code: Select all

[Core.System]
Suppress=DevLIPSinc

[Engine.GameEngine]
ServerPackages=OnslaughtBP

[Editor.EditorEngine]
EditPackages=OnslaughtBP

[Engine.LevelInfo]
MaxClientFrameRate=+90.0

Ok, let's create one ...

Helpfull here : ini generator ....

I use usually http://www.unrealadmin.org/modules.php? ... unc=ut2004

You can check the webpage what settings are already chosen ...

I basicially just clicked Generate it!

Ok, what came out :

http://www.ar3s.com/files/UT2004.txt

=> Copied and pasted and saved into the system folder ...

Ok, NOW we are coming to you instruction. Let's get startet :

Part installation of the docu


Using the Chaos Mutator w/o Activating Chaos Mod.

Chaos comes in both "mod" and "mutator" form. To use the ChaosUT2 mutator in normal UT2004, without activating the Chaos mod, simply open your UT2004.ini file, found in your UT2004\System folder, and add these lines in the [Core.System] section:

Paths=../ChaosUT2/System/*.u
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Maps/*.ut2
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Textures/*.utx
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../ChaosUT2/StaticMeshes/*.usx
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Animations/*.ukx

Ok, lets do it ....

=>Adding lines .....

The certain part of the ut2004.ini looks now :

Code: Select all

.
.
.
[Core.System]
PurgeCacheDays=30
SavePath=../Save
CachePath=../Cache
CacheExt=.uxx
CacheRecordPath=../System/*.ucl
MusicPath=../Music
SpeechPath=../Speech
Paths=../System/*.u
Paths=../Maps/*.ut2
Paths=../Textures/*.utx
Paths=../Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../Music/*.umx
Paths=../StaticMeshes/*.usx
Paths=../Animations/*.ukx
Paths=../Saves/*.uvx
Paths=../ChaosUT2/System/*.u
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Maps/*.ut2
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Textures/*.utx
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../ChaosUT2/StaticMeshes/*.usx
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Animations/*.ukx
Suppress=DevLoad
Suppress=DevSave
Suppress=DevNetTraffic
.
.

Stright forward actually ......

Next step :

Server installation

Server Packages:

If you are running a server with the Chaos mutator (without 'activating' the Chaos mod), you will need to add the following lines to the [Engine.GameEngine] section of your UT2004.ini file, which is in the UT2004\System folder:
ServerPackages=ChaosGames
ServerPackages=ChaosUT
List them in that order, and make sure there are no blank spaces at the end of each line.

=> Let's do it .... This is what it looks like now

Code: Select all

.
.
.
ServerPackages=UT2k4Assault
ServerPackages=Onslaught
ServerPackages=GUI2K4
ServerPackages=UT2k4AssaultFull
ServerPackages=OnslaughtFull
ServerPackages=xVoting
ServerPackages=ChaosGames
ServerPackages=ChaosUT
UseStaticMeshBatching=True
ColorHighDetailMeshes=False
ColorSlowCollisionMeshes=False
ColorNoCollisionMeshes=False
ColorWorldTextures=False
ColorPlayerAndWeaponTextures=False
.
.
.

Ok ....

To start a server running ChaosUT2, simply select 'Host Game' from the main Chaos menu.
Don't forget that clicking on the 'Settings' tab first will allow you to configure various default Chaos settings.

Nah .... we are cool and using command line instead .....

Sample command line for using Chaos Mutator:
c:
ut2004\system\
ucc server DM-Rankin.ut2?game=XGame.xDeathMatch?mutator=ChaosGames.ChaosUT -MOD=ChaosUT2 log=ChaosMut.log

=> Last look on the webpage for more instructions ? Nope ...

ok, let's fire it up ....

Code: Select all

F:\UT2004\System>ucc server DM-Rankin.ut2?game=XGame.xDeathMatch?mutator=ChaosGames.ChaosUT -MOD=ChaosUT2 log=ChaosMut.log

Looks good, does it ?

Let`s check the WebMin interface ....



ok ..... so far so good ....

Let's check muts ....



Not bad ......

What about Mapvoting ? Let's enable it ....



Let's see how it is "live"



There he is .. let's join ......



I feel lonely .... let's try to add a bot through the Web Interface ...



Sweeet ....

Just running around Rankin is not that funny, let's add a voting menu



.... and restart the map .....



DOAH ........

Ok, but now the hard part : Chaos Duel ....



And let's restart the level again .....

(removed the Arena of course again)



DOAH .....

Well ..... why did I work on the server for hours if it is actually working ?

Ok, If I said something against your documentation : Sorry

Invested time : not much .....

Who I have to thank : The Chaos Team !!!!!!

Myself
Please guide and help me, because if you read this : My installation did not work .... As agreed with jb, here my "walkthrough"

I lied ... it worked

But still 2 LITTLE questions :

Code: Select all

Failed to load 'Proxymon': Can't find file for package 'Proxymon'
Failed to load 'Duel-Arena][': Can't find file for package 'Proxymon'
Failed to load 'LevelSummary Duel-Arena][.LevelSummary': Can't find file for 

What does the error message mean, and is it possible to get this running without the mut in the serverline ?

[jb]

So its working for you? Again sorry for all the issues.

I have no idea why your not seeing the proxymon texture. I will see if some one can upload that so it will work in the arena2 map.

[Shuri]

The error simply means that a texture package; Proxymon.utx in this case; required by a map is missing. As long as the utx is only required by maps, all it means is that you won't be able to play that level (it won't even show up in your maplist).

[Mephisto]

@jb : Yeah it worked then

I have NO idea why it did not work the least time ....

And I have just removed the maps and thats it .....

Ic could use the files from my local ut installation anyway .... But at least it is working ....

Still someone there who knows which settings I have to make to keep the starting line simple ?

[Rythmix]

@jb : Yeah it worked then
Still someone there who knows which settings I have to make to keep the starting line simple ?

ucc server Duel-Branwen.ut2?chaosGames.ChaosDuel?mutator=ChaosGames.ChaosUT -MOD=ChaosUT2 log=ChaosMut.log


This should be all u need.

[Mephisto]

Yeah, and what I mean if I am able to use

ucc server Duel-Branwen.ut2?chaosGames.ChaosDuel

and start the mutator from within the ini .... ?

[jeditobe1]

Looks like you extracted the zip, then copied the extracted stuff. Thats not the best solution usually. For the chaos folders it should still work but if you arent careful you will wipe out your main system folder when it tries to copy over our files that are supposed to be placed there. Doing a direct extraction from the zip onto the UT2004 root will prevent the folder overwrite on most systems and just place the files in the preexisting folders.

[Mephisto]

This is what it does on Windows

It just places the files into the sysem folder and it renamed the fodler System with System
