I have a Mac and I think that if there is one head shot, UT 2k3 just quits but not all the time. I think this because a bot had the sniper rifle and I saw the red dot moving around me and he started shooting me then a second later, it quits. But one time I shot the sniper rifle at a bot and I did head shot but it did not quit. Tell me if you want the log. I was using the Air Power mutator though. I also have this in my ini file: bUseMacWorkAround=true

[jeditobe1]

haprin: try this: while in a game, let a bot get a sniper rifle. then playersonly and find the bot. Line your head up with his laser and see if it crashes.

Might be the lens flare is causing a problem. Might also check by finding a map with a "sun" and looking at it. with chaos some zones will give a lensflare when looking towards the sun

[FurrySound]

jedi.. good point.. he could then turn off visuals so the lensflare doesn't show and see if it still crashes.. no?

[jeditobe1]

yep. The mac version has some HUD changes in it... might be that we messed up the lens flare when changing it.

Halprin,

make sure you remove you ChaosUT.ini file and set that work around in your ut2003.ini. There will be a new entry at or near the end called: [ChaosGames.ChaosUT]

Make sure you add bUseMacWorkAround=true there. If it still crashes then send us the log. We moved the ChaosUT.ini file inside the UT2003.ini file to make it easier for servers to be set up. Sorry for your trouble.

[halprin]

That seems to of fixed it! Thx jb!

Anyways, I tried to host a server at CTF-Face3 w/ MapVote and CUT2. But it came up with this error while loading the dedicated server.
Signal: SIGBUS [bus error]
What does that mean?

[FurrySound]

You caught the wrong bus and ended up in a bad neighborhood?

Couldn't help myself... I did a search on some server admin sites and google, but nothing came up... maybe jb has some idea. Could you post the previous 25 and following 25 lines from your log, maybe something in there will give us a hint.

[Isotope]

The heartbeat sound cuts off the announcer. I think they use the same channel.

[Zachariah]

The laserdot box is still coming back (kinda) except its a transparent circle , visible only on transparent meshes.

Sniper laserdot could stand to be a little brighter(like a real laser pointer.)back when it had the box it was bright enough to see from a distance , and I could get headshots just as good as with xhairs

My head hurts

i got this error on face3:

looks like the shiledammo script is getting called indefinitely...


ALSO:

Is the sniper riffel's bullet supposed to be so slow? it's hardly useable. I have to lead so far with it... I mean, it's a sniper riffle for crying out loud

anyway, Great mod guys... I love the poison and flame stuff

[Gasman]

BobTheDog, could you tell me exactly what you were doing at the time of the crash? For example, were you firing cutter at a bot, walls.etc...
Maybe if you can get it to crash again and save the ut2003.log file that is located in your system dir and email it to me at gasman@awesomenet.net
Thanks for the info.

[BobTheDog]

ok I sent ya the log file... all I was doing was assaulting theRed base on face-3 thru the front door and i got to the wall opposite the door and it crashed...

[jb]

BobTheDog,

does this crash happen when you only run ChaosUT2? Can you try it with out the other muts? I looked at the log and nothing appears to be that much out of order. We will try to see if we can duplicate the error on our side. Sorry for your trouble.

The sniper bullet travels: 15,000 game units per second. To put this in prespective the UT2k3 rocket travels 1,350 game units per second. We made this way to allow for some leading. Also aim bots seem to love instant hit weapons. We may move that speed up... BTW the fastest object we have is the ERDW rail bolt that clocks it at a mere 20,000 game units per second

Pepito,
yeap and I finally figured out the why that is happening. There is an issue with how we set up that object. We use a final blend and a combiner. And over those certian objects the blending does not look good. I tried but being a coder I have limited skills with textures. Or main texture guys was busy with RL and did not have time to look at it. We will for the next one. Sorry about that.

Isotope,
Crap thanks for the info. There are only 7 sound channels and I am afraid we will not find one thats emepty. We can try again to move it to another channel thats less of an impact.... Thanks.

halprin,
Not sure does this always happen with a Chaos Server? Did you set the proper server packages? Oh good news fora ll the mac users. Ryan sent me an email today saying he has found the issue with fire textures and has corrected for them. Look for that on the next Mac patch for UT2k3

[BobTheDog]

mmm.. ok I'll try it again with the same settings. I have a few mutators in... the epic pack combos... and a few other things...
