Chaotic Dreams

I deleted every chaosUT2 files i had because i had some enoying problems due to the patch, and decided to install the fresh chaosUT2 and the patch thinking this time everything will go absolutely smoooooth. I used umod for ver 3.0 and umod for the patch 3.01. I made my shortcut like i did last time and activated the mod. I clicked "join", when a critical error popped up. I went to "Botmatch" and the critical error popped up yet again. I can do this over and over again and it will do the same thing. Can you plz give me suggestions of how i can get around it? The game by the way, always worked smoothly and was as fun as eva before the patch.

What is the error? and can you paste a copy of your log file that should be in your chaosut2\system directory?

i noticed now 1 min ago that this bug screwed up my overal UT2004 game! When ever i use the shortcut, the game opens and after u c skaarj ram through the nvidia icon the game exits and the bug pops up! now i can't play ut2004 . I will try to find out what is wrong though.

the bug report is found in my ut2004 system folder. It might not come directly from ChaosUT2 mod. This is the first time though, that this has happened to me and i assumed it was the mod patch because it obviously happened after i installed the mod and the patch. Do u have any ideas what is wrong?

my best guess is that when you were cleaning out the files for your chaos reinstall, you accidentally removed something that the game needed.

I had currently completely deleted all chaosUT2 files and guess what? UT2004 STARTED WORKING AS NORMAL! HUUUURRRAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only problem is that i wont be able to play chaos UT2. I will try installing chaos UT2 again with umod and c if it works, and then i will install its patch. I think that will be the best way to go about it.

Everything works normal know though i still lose my connection when playing in =WD=*patched* www.wardragons.com#2 server. I would lose connection in around a minute when entered the game. That is the only thing bothering me currently as this server is popular and is the only server where i lose my connection. I have not tried to connect with ver3.0 though i tried to connect to the server once 10 min ago when it had an empty space for a player and upon connecting to the server i had to download some kind of "Chaostex_006" for textures so i just cancelled out. There are also some servers where upon connection u have to download files which u already have. How can you prevent from downloading these fies again? Also, on one server i was playing against a bot and when i killed her it did not have that slow motion death, she just fell and died without any slow motion, could it be because i downloaded some other files from other servers that eliminate slow motion? I LOVE SLOW MOTION DEATH it makes me say "oooooooowwwww" when the weapons hits the player. I still dont know how the bug was activated last time.

burn,

if you having to download tex06 chances are its not set up in chaosut2\textures. Can you make sure you have that file there and not in the main ut004\textures dir? The slow mo death works off line only. The reason why is we have to slow down the game and past experince has shown us that slowing time down on the server is a risky issue (could cause "bad" things to happen). So for now it only happens off line. Please let us know how its working for you.

Sorry for the delay in getting to this thread (Just there is a lot of them).

ok thanx for ur info, though i still remember playing slow mo once on the server...maybe it is my imagination lol.

This has nothing to do with the current subject, but for some reason, when i enter UT2004 and go to play against bots in any game option where teams are involved and use the bot roster and as default i get the following, Team 1: 3 Prisms, 3 sirens, 3 arclites and 3 reinha and for team 2 i get 3 sirens 3 prisms 3 arclites and 3 reinha. This might not sound like it is much of a problem, but if i wanted to change bots (i have MANY new models and skins) to fight against, i would have to get rid of the current bots set in the teams 1 by 1, which does waste some time. Do u have any suggestions as i am sure i won't be able to fix this on my own. The last time i did something weird is used a UDebugger for the first time where upon my computer went black and nothing was able to be done (except restart it ofcourse).

there is a mutator called something similar to slomo corpses that sorta simulates the deathcam.

I am STILL having problems with the server www.wardragons.com. IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everytime i enter that server, in around one minute my connection loses. I never get this problem with other servers. I have tried diconnected both of my firewalls (zonealarm and windows xp) and i also tried using original ut2004 skin to play in the server, but nothing works!!! ALL other ppl enter the game fine besides me always losing my connection. Both servers "...www.wardragons.com" lose my connection. I reconnect and i lose connection after around a minute again. Today, i entered the server and fought with a real player and managed to get a headshot, and then i was fighting another player when a message popped up saying "connection lost" in a blue rectangular box. All other players seem to play fine and don't understand my problem. So what is it with the 2 servers? is it because they need additional ports opened? or do i have to adjust somekind of special settings?

I would be EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY (and the word goes on...) happy if you would give me a good suggestion of going about and fixing this server problem. I first thought it was "mutUTsecure" mutator that the server had that was causing the problem but when i played in a different server also a standard server called (wait i will check) "CHAOS UT2004 SERVER" everything worked fine. I played like 3 hours yesterday on some other server and it worked fine all the way. I assume the word *patched* means something in the server title of "...www.wardragons.com"?

Please help me.
