When I use the bloody Hell mutator, it seems to force its own sound settings on the game. At the beginning of the game, "Play!" is announced by the female announcer and not the evil male announcer, and the bots all have taunts turned on, but there's no options in the Bloody Hell settings anywhere to disable that.

So I guess I still can't use Bloody Hell... I thought that was on the list of fixes or something...

I enjoy the mod very much, but if this could be fixed, I'd really appreciate that. :)

If this was a fixable bug with Bloody Hell, don't you think some of the other 15 thousand BW players would have reported this earlier?

Have you tried doing a clean reInstall of UT2 and then have only BW installed? It's an extreme way to test if any other mods are causing this, but would give us the answer. A less extreme test would be trying a match with only BW mutators in the list, and playing a default gametype.

I did the second thing you mentioned a long time ago. BW just uses it's own sound settings you can't edit.

I'm not too keen on the "clean install" thing since I have a lot of stuff I'd have to reinstall, and I only have a C: drive (so I can't even put it on a D: or anything, that's my CD drive.)

Well, I use Bloody Hell many times and my settings are always the same.

Whatever is going on with Bloody Hell and sound settings, is obviously not directly related with BW. I, as well as all the BW players, would experience the same if that were the case. I'm guessing there is possibly an interference between mods, which only a clean reInstall can prove true or false.

Lets wait for the coder to shed some light on this mystery. Although I'm pretty sure this problem has a different source, it isn't certain.

Scooby Doo,we have another mystery for you!
So what happened Scooby?Did the old announcers get sacked?
Did they quit because there was too much blood showing they were sissies all along?
And who did it?The Creeper?That... Clown Thing?Scrappy?Lex Luther?Granny?

It's not just the announcers voice, the Auto taunt automatically turns itself off when BW is on.

ok.. interesting.. seems like it could be something .ini related, but HTF does BH do this!!

we never messed with any of there settings.. perhaps theres some sinister UT2k4 linkage problems beneath it..

Sorry to resurrect the thread, just thought it would be reduntant to make another thread that talks about this.

I got the latest BW 2.5 with Sergeant Kelly's Pack and Fische as well. Only sound problem I'm having is the Auto-Taunt turning off. Is it really Bloody Hell causing it?

Auto-taunt is a curse. Is it really that big an issue not to have it on?

This is caused by the class BallisticPlayer saving its config to BallisticV25.ini. It will ignore all settings from the PlayerController and UnrealPlayer classes above it, because their config is saved to User.ini and a class only reads one .ini file: the .ini file with the name declared in the config keyword, or the one it inherits from its superclass declaration. Therefore, the defaults for those classes will be saved to BallisticV25.ini and read from there if a BallisticPlayer is in use, regardless of what you have set in the game options. It will affect any game played with the Ballistic controller, which includes the stock version of Bloody Hell. There are additional bugs in stock Bloody Hell, one of which is that Ballistic Pawn defaults are forced onto the player even though you're playing UT2004. This is because Bloody Hell uses the Ballistic Pawn and Controller for the blood system.

class BallisticPlayer extends xPlayer config(BallisticV25);

This is fixed in all of the fix versions. While I understand that that won't help you right now, it may be useful in the future.

Yeah, I love the funny taunts of Tourettes Guy with bots.

"fixed in all of the fix versions"? Are you referring to Ballistics Extreme, Enhanced and Unofficial Ballistics Patch?

I see.

I just hope it will be released in Day 15 as planned, can't wait to try it.

Thanks for the info Azarael (You're more an Angel of Information).

Day 15? I see 15/07/2014 on one of the threads, but I think that was meant to be the release date for Extreme's 1.0 and it should be 15/06/2014.

And no problem.

Ballistic Extreme has a config option to enable or disable taunts.
