Server problems with Chaos and mapvote

First problem I'm having is that if I use the chaos mut. with any game type no weapons show up. only way to get chaos weapons is it open a map with chaos weapon in it but some maps don't have all of the weapons in there. What I'm thinking is that I need to add server packages to the ut2004.ini file. But I thought this would load on demand.

Second problem I'm having is Mapvote. When trying to setup game type I see no Chaos game type in mapvote using ut webadmin. I tried to put it manualy but no dice. maybe I didn't put it in right. but shouldn't the game type show up. I even tried launching it with the chaos icon it created still no gametype chaos. and I can't make a KOTH gametype either.

So I thought maybe my server was messed up so I installed it on antoher server of mine and still no dice.

So then I installed it on a 3 rd computer that I game with and still no dice.

Before I do anything I would like some feed back as to what I'm doing wrong. I migth try adding the server package and see if that will work for the weapons mut. but that won't fix my mapvote issues.

Well the first thing I would try is to get rid of your server ini files. The method I've had luck with is to start the server with no chaos mod. That will create a new ut2004.ini file. Then restart the server with the chaos mod using the -mod= switch on the command line. This will create a new chaosut2.ini file in the chaosut2\system directory. Edit the chaosut2.ini to taste.

Doing it that way should add all the necessary lines to the ini. That should allow you to see the mod gametypes in WebAdmin. Good luck.

this sounds similar to the problems Im having running mutators on my chaos server.

If I run any mutators from the ut2k4/System/ directory along with my chaosgames mutator which is in ut2k4/ChaosUT2/System/, then only the mutator from the ut2k4/System/ directory will work. But if i put that mutator from ut2k4/System/ into the ut2k4/ChaosUT2/System/ folder it works fine, but the gametypes for chaos don't work at mapvoting time.

Its like a catch22, i can either have no grapple but yes other mutator, or yes grapple, yes other mutator, no gametypes.. neither of these will suffice. Any one else running any mapvote or any type of mutators with chaosgames mutator?!
