Need Help With The UT Server Updates

[Beezer]

Ok, I've been trying to get all these skins downloaded and installed so that I can access the MGI server (for a couple days now). I finally got all the files downloaded from Clan-MU site (except the castle file that doesn't seem to exist), and have the skins loaded except for those MOTD files.

I downloaded the MOTDenabler, but it's only 2K, and when I run it, setup warns me not to put it in the UnrealTournament directory (which was recommended), so I put it in the System subdirectory. All I see there is a small text file -- nothing else. When I try to run the other MOTD...umod files, it obviously is still looking for the enabler.

What am I doing wrong? I really don't care about these skins, but I can't access the server without them. I'm quite frustrated.

Beezer,
The only way I was able to install the MOTDEnabler,and the other .umod files, was to install it into the UnrealTournament Dir. I had also tryed to get it to install into a temp dir, without any luck. So I installed it into the UnrealT dir and then everything started installing. Give it a shot!
The other .umod files (that have dates) are skins also.
Hope you get it installed, need to have you back fraging me with that 1 shot from the shock rifle. LOL

How do you get it to install into the UnrealTournament directory?

When I run the MOTDenabler.umod, it asks me for a destination directory. I type in "C:\UntrealTournament". It responds with a warning not to install it into the same directory as Unreal Tournament -- and will not allow me to go any further without specifying a different directory.

It is best to unzipp or place all .umod files in C:\Temp.

Then go to START\RUN and type in:
C:\UnrealTournament\System\Setup.exe install C:\temp\MOTDEnabler.umod

The install program should start and then you will need to tell it to install to:

C:\UnrealTournament

Thanks Paul, that "command line" did the trick. It's odd, that I've always been able to just run the .umod file in the past without any problems. Even now, the program seems to run -- just not correctly.

One more problem though....
I tried to connect to the MGI server, and it insisted on "Infiltration". Fortunately I had d/l that already, so I loaded it into UT.

Now when connecting to MGI server, I get the following error message:
Can't find BoolProperty in file 'BoolProperty Botpack.TournamentGameInfo.bDisallowOverride'

Seems like a .ini entry issue, but can't figure where or what to put into my .ini file. Any ideas?

[ALBPM]

Did you install the other 4 MOTD files after the enabler???

Do you have Botpack.int and BotPack.u in your
system folder???

[Beezer]

Yes, all the skins are now loaded properly, and I do indeed have the botpack.ini and botpack.u files in place.

I believe this is related to the Infiltration mod because I get the same error message when I tried logging onto another infiltration server (found using the Inf Browser). However, all other public servers work fine. Maybe I need download or re-install the Infiltration mod again. The infiltration mod does not appear in the Practice Session game choices -- shouldn't it be there? Under the Mod Menu, I only have the Infiltration Browser as a choice.

[ALBPM]

Yes, it should be under Catagory in Practice Sessions. Sounds like you may want to D/L it again. You may have some files missing in your current copy.

Hi guys,

the mod enabler gets installed into the UT system directory and its skins get installed into UT's main directory (C:\UnrealTournament)

I pointed to the G:\Unreal Tournament directory each time it asked and all seems to do OK. The only problems that I have had so far is that the skin I want to use only shows grren while on the server. Also since loading Infiltration load times are taking longer.

I'm still running UT version 4.05 (heard bad things about 4.13, and never got around to 4.20 yet), and I don't think Infiltration is compatible with that version. I was trying to wait until 4.22 was available before upgrading, but now I don't think I have a choice. Hopefully, going to 4.20 will fix the issue.

[ALBPM]

I'm running 4.20 and the infiltration seems fine so far.

Paul

[Beezer]

I'm a happy camper once again!

Infiltration evidently does not work with UT 4.05b, because I just installed 4.20 and all is well again. No more error message when connecting to the MGI server.

Just finished a couple rounds with Oboy, CyberTek, and Ghostman....
Thanks for all you help.

[ALBPM]

YEEE!!! HAWWWWWWW!!! Beezer is back!!!

[Joel]

Yeah, and as deadly as ever.
