Did you install the ECE Bonus Pack ? http://files.filefront.com/Unreal+Tourn ... einfo.html

Well, first of all, if you saved the file from before you made your changes, why not just put that file back? Problem solved.

Assuming that it's not that easy for some reason, it looks like you're missing the paths to the main UT files. I've got the following lines near the beginning of the Core.System section:

SpeechPath=../Speech
Paths=../System/*.u
Paths=../Maps/*.ut2
Paths=../Textures/*.utx
Paths=../Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../Music/*.umx
Paths=../StaticMeshes/*.usx
Paths=../Animations/*.ukx
Paths=../Saves/*.uvx
Suppress=DevLoad


(I included the SpeechPath and Suppress lines for reference)

You have the ChaosUT2 path in most of those.

Then at the end of the Core.System section, I've got the CUT2 paths:

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


I don't know if the order matters, but it might. I'd replace the Paths= lines you posted with the first ones above (for the main files), and move the CUT2 lines to the end of the section.

yea i did install the bonus packs cuz the UTChaos works by its self but im trying to get the mutator in my base UT2004 game i followed the directions and thats where it got me..... James did you mean i should but thoes texts at the very end of the core section too? so i will look like this?

Begining...

SpeechPath=../Speech
Paths=../System/*.u
Paths=../Maps/*.ut2
Paths=../Textures/*.utx
Paths=../Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../Music/*.umx
Paths=../StaticMeshes/*.usx
Paths=../Animations/*.ukx
Paths=../Saves/*.uvx
Suppress=DevLoad

then at the end of core section put this?

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

so when its all done ill have this?

Woot did it ty for your in put for anyone else having this prob just write that at the end it works perfectly tyvm...

You're welcome.

FWIW, your real problem seemed to be that you did not have most of the paths to the main UT files (eg. ../System/*.u) in your file at all, so UT could not find the main game files. The ChaosUT2 lines might have been fine where they were, _if_ you also had the paths to the main game files.

My guess (and it's just a guess) is that it probably doesn't matter much exactly where the ChaosUT2 paths are in that section. I would put them somewhere after the main paths, just on the off chance that, if the ChaosUT2 paths were first, UT might look in one of the ChaosUT2 folders first and get the wrong file. I don't know if that's possible, but better safe than sorry. In my case the ChaosUT2 paths are at the end of that section, but that's presumably just because that happens to be the most recently installed mod on my system.
