Chaotic Dreams

i am building a invasion server that i want to use some of the chaos weapons on....and i have installed the mod to the T i think.....

I added the chaosUT folder to the main UT folder....and i added the files to the system folder.....but when i go to web admin to my weapon swaper..... i dont see the chaos weapons.....and if i add the serverpackages the server crashes...????

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if you should have added anything to your system folder...

But I don't know anything about starting dedicated servers, so meh.

Rotz,

sorry for your trouble. But the server pacakages have to be there for it to work on line. Can you post the log when it crashes here so we can help trouble shoot it? Also you NEED to have the ECE patch on it as well.

Sounds like you need to add the pathing lines for the chaos folders to your server's UT2004.ini (since it sounds like using the mod switch isnt an option).

From the readme:

Using the Chaos Mutator w/o Activating Chaos Mod. Chaos comes in both "mod" and "mutator" form. To use the ChaosUT2 mutator in normal UT2004, without activating the Chaos mod, simply open your UT2004.ini file, found in your UT2004\System folder, and add these lines in the [Core.System] section:

Paths=../ChaosUT2/System/*.u
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Maps/*.ut2
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Textures/*.utx
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../ChaosUT2/StaticMeshes/*.usx
Paths=../ChaosUT2/Animations/*.ukx

This should also allow the weapons to work etc. However, not activing the chaos mutator (ie using a weapon swapper) will mean the weapons probably wont be fully functional.

well i used the dir finaly got it on my ftp....but when i add the paths i still dont get the weapons in the weapon swaper
And when i add the serverpackages....i get this when my server crashes after adding the serverpackages

You need the ECE bonus pack.

have you tried removing a mutator,i dont know anything about this stuff but imo the muts may not be compatible(CUT replaces adrenaline in favor of relics by default for example)

Rotz,

yea TKATK is on to something. Try to run it with just Chaos first to make sure it works. Then we can add the others to see if one of them does not like to place nice with chaos...

imo the ss weapons or adrenaline combos could be the culprits,and im pritty sure UTRPG works
