Can you verify that the

'ChaosTex_007'

texture file does indeed exist in the chaosut2\texture folder?

We have seen this error before and its usally caused by one of two things:

1) Some other file that is causing a conflict (usally a old UCL file from another mod/skin/ect). The log would say something about which other files its having problems with and removing those files has fixed the issue.


2) Re-install UT2k4. As much as I hate to say it, but if the files that UT2k4 is complaining about (in this case 'ChaosTex_007') are there and you can find them, then there is an issue with UT2k4 itself. You can try to remove the UT2004.ini, user.ini, chaosut2.ini and chaosut2user.ini, run it again and see if the newly generated INIs will fix the issue but that does not seem to work all the time. But a re-install has... The nice thing is you can re-install right over the top of your current UT2k4 dir and still keep your mods/maps/ect....


So let us know what you find and where we can help!!!
