Help with a map - VCTF-DR-Huge-SDR-V2_beta3a

I have another strange problem that I'm hoping someone can help with. A while back I had a problem with the map VCTF-WS-SpaceBase2K4][ where the StrangeLoves were not exploding upon impact. The solution was to add the mutator specifically to the map in the ut2004.ini file, because we do not specify the StrangeLove as a default for all maps.

I can get the VCTF-DR-Huge-SDR-V1 map working by doing the same thing, adding the StrangeLove mutator to the map in the ut2004.ini file. But this newest version will not work that way !! I noticed the Version 2 map is about half the size of the Version 1, so I am suspecting I have to add another mutator to the map initialization. Any ideas ? [*-)]

Re: Help with a map - VCTF-DR-Huge-SDR-V2_beta3a

I hope this forum isn't dead. It's been over a week since the last post, and it was mine !!!

Anyway, I was just looking at my client cache and noticed a bunch of WGS files, such as:

WGS_5w-3rc.u
WGS_EDRW_ANI.ukx
WGS_EDRW_STAT.usx
WGS_EDRW_TEX.utx
WGS_EDRW_TEXb.utx
WGS_EDRW_TEXc.utx
WGS105mmb.u
WGScutter3v.u
WGSVehcles-10RC.u
WGXveh-Tex.utx

and several more. So, do I need these on the server in order for others to be able to play this map? If so, is there a pack that contains all the files together?

Re: Help with a map - VCTF-DR-Huge-SDR-V2_beta3a

well, i take a look here from time to time.

Those are WGS files that the WGS server/clan uses on their server. They are not included in any whoshack maps, so no need to worry about them.

The reason I haven't answered you about the 1st post is that map didn't come from me. Its a dragon ranger creation, and I haven't had the time lately to chase things like that down.

Also, do you have the strangelove oldskool mutator running? If you don't I recommend that you do get it running, it should replace all strangeloves in all maps.

Well, hope this helps

Yes, I added the StrangeLove55rc2.StrangeLoveOldSkool mutator to the new map, just like I did the older one. It works on the old one, but the new map will not start. That's why I think there must be another mutator, texture, animation, mesh, or something that I need on the server.

When I talked about those WGS files in my PC's cache, I'm not talking about the server. They are 2 entirely separate systems. That is why I'm wondering if there are more files I need to place on the server and push to the clients so that everyone can play this map from our server. Crying

Thanks for responding. [*-)]

Re: Help with a map - VCTF-DR-Huge-SDR-V2_beta3a

howdy Dark,
the wgs files your refering to more than likely came from when you joined game there at wgs? what rc is tryin to say is you need to have the SL in as a regular mute. specifying it to one map, though it may be working on some of the priorly mentioned maps may not be the answer for you. i was not even aware you could actually do that at all until you mentioned it here in a post. heres a couple suggestions they may or may not help you out here but here's hoping!

add the StrangeLove as a regular mute and make sure it works correctly... for sure, test it through several games if necessary.

check to make sure that all command line references are:

StrangeLove55rc2.StrangeLoveOldSkool

the reason i mention i mention the command line references is that i had some issues with the SL55 not exploding at one point, but since upgrading to the rc2 that has not been an issue.

hope this helps,
block...

Ok, I think I know what it is, but don't know where to get the file or files. It seems to be wanting a VehicleTeleporter. Any idea where I can get this?

Re: Help with a map - VCTF-DR-Huge-SDR-V2_beta3a

Sorry about the lack of help on this, but sometimes it is more rewarding if you figure things out on your own, rather than somebody tell you the solution. And if you run into a similar situation in the future, you already know where to start looking.

Well, this file might help you:
http://www.whoshack.com/files/UT2K4/misc/VehicleTeleporter.rar

Just un-rar it into your UT2K4/System directory. If there are more files you need, just let me know.
