Game Hosting problems after adding SERVER PACKAGES lines

I added the ServerPackages lines (as shown in the "info & docs" section) to my UT2003.ini file in the Systems folder and since I did that I get dropped to desktop with an error message whenever I attempt to run a server. The error message is as follows:

"Failed to load \'ChaosUT \': Can\'t find file \'ChaosUT \'

History: UObject::SafeLoadError <- UObject::GetPackageLinker <- UGameEngine::BuildServerMasterMap <- ULevel::Listen <- Listen <- UGameEngine::LoadMap <- LocalMapURL <- UGameEngine::Browse <- ClientTravel <- UGameEngine::Tick <- UpdateWorld <- MainLoop".

Plz tell me how to fix this. Chaos is a great game & I can't get my daily fix now!!! (hmm) Plz help! (cry)

In the manual there was a small typo in the server packages lines that had a space after the chaosut package. Removing that space *should* solve the problem

BANZAIIIII!!!

Not sure where this typo rumor started, but let me repeat this, in my own defense,

There is NO 'extra-space' typo in the manual in the server packages. Online version or off.

I was told once back in UT days that sometimes a space is added when people cut and paste stuff like that. Don't ask me why. Talk to a Windows expert. Maybe it's not even true, I dunno.

But check the HTML for them if you wish. No typo. No space.

There may be numerous other errors and typos, and if you see some, feel free to point them out. But this is not one of them.

i had heard that on the rumor mill. It might be a mistake in the umod server packages install line.

Anyways, i just checked the online version and i see two characters after the ChaosUT line... a space and a carraige return. The others only have a carraige return.

Seriously!! Well craaaa (stuck)! And You're Both Banned!

(j/k of course. But How (stuck) can something you check 10 or 20 times (stuck) get messed up on the 21st (stuck)!)

Geez.

Its hard to see =) i had to double check and quadruple check my double check. Because the carraige return does show up when highlighting, its hard to see a hanging space

Just add....

Please be sure there are no spaces at the end of these lines when you paste them into UT2003.ini

somewhere in that section :D

I can't believe UT2k3 is so picky about its ini files. What a drag.

You know darn well that's been there all along. Check the offline version after you install it, it's there too. And it was in the UT version as well.

So yes, we made it clear that this was an issue.

Make it a whole page big and flashing! And put lots of little arrows pointing to it!

Make one of those cheesy educational films that has the cartoon characters and the evil Mr. Space at the end of the INI file line and show it in classrooms across the country!

Or you could just tattoo it on your butt and post pics around the net.
