Post subject:  BW 2.0 Arena - no weapons

I'm trying to set up a shotgun match on my server. I used only the BW Arena mod, with my setting configged to shotguns.


[BallisticV2.Mut_BallisticArena]
bRandomPickOne=False
bRandomPerSpawn=False
WeaponClassNames=BallisticV2.M290Shotgun
WeaponClassNames=BallisticV2.M763Shotgun
WeaponClassNames=BWBPOneV2.MRS138Shotgun
WeaponClassNames=BallisticV2.MRT6Shotgun

When I load the game-type, I get no weapons except the translocator.

Any ideas?

I've noticed this in the past before. This happened when I dedicated on one computer and joined on another. The computer had the server running inactive (waiting for players) and when I joined, I had only the translocator for about 20 seconds, then I got all the weapons and everythin worked. I assumed this was just becuase the computer was 'waking up' and loading everything back into ram. I wouldn't have any idea about it never working, though, especially if you joined shortly after dedicating. If you cannot shoot or take damage from lava, falling, etc., then I'd assume you're not fully connected.

Does everything work properly when you host the same map and same mutators except without the ballistic arean? If so, you can probably ignore everything after this, which is general troubleshooting. If I were to guess, I'd assume you couldn't fire the translocator?

Also, make sure you have all 5 "ServerPackages=_____" lines. They are:

ServerPackages=BallisticV2
ServerPackages=BCoreV2
ServerPackages=BWBPOneV2
ServerPackages=BWBPTwoV2
ServerPackages=BWBPThreeV2

Also, for every custom mutator (that didn't come with UT04 straight form the disk), you need to add one (or more) "ServerPackages=______" lines. The blank is to be filled in with the name of the .u file for the mutator.

EDIT: I assume the server has the same version as the other computers joining (patch 3369)?

I've been running BW for a year or so. I'm now running the 2.0 with no problems on a Ballistic Loadout, and a Melee setup. I ran Arena on 1.7X, but am just now trying to set it up on 2.0.

So, yes, the ServerPackages are all fine, etc.

The translocator will fire, too. It has not loss of funtionality- I just do not have other weapons (shotguns).

Well- the third time's a charm, I guess. I killed it & reinstalled twice. Now it works. I have no explanation.
