Post subject:  Weapons don't always work
When my brother and I play over lan, Who ever is not hosting dosn't always get weapons when thay spawn. Some times it works just fine, but other times it spawns me with just a mele weapon and wont let me pick any other weapons up. I can see the weapons laying on the ground, and when I runover them it says that I picked it up, but it dosn't apear in my inventory.
Also, I can't see any balistic weapon servers on the internet.
Any ideas how to fix this?

To play in LAN games, you need to make sure your ServerPackages are filled out in the UT2004.ini file in your system folder. Here's an example of a fully loaded BW config.


ServerPackages=BCoreV21
ServerPackages=BallisticV21
ServerPackages=BWBPOneV21
ServerPackages=BWBPTwoV21
ServerPackages=BWBPThreeV21
ServerPackages=BWBPFour
ServerPackages=BWBPFourB
ServerPackages=BWBPRecolors2

well, I added the lines that you posted to my ut2004.INI. It worked fine at first, but then all my weapons just vanished from my inventory. All I was left with was my Katana and a pistol, While this is beter then just haveing a katana it would be nice to have all the weapons working.
Also I noticed that I couldent see some of the weapons from the bones pack and Sergeant Kelly's Weapon Pack. It was rather odd, I could see the ranger rifle and the plasma rifle but not the SAR or the tacticle rifle.

Hi!

I have the exact same problem. In loadout, the one not hosting often gets only two weapons, but it can differ what categories you get after you've restarted the game (the program). In regular Ballistic we often get only a melee and the teleporter, but sometimes it works normally. It can even stop working in the middle of the game so suddently weapon pickups won't work anymore. It can start working again as well, but this is not very common.

I've tried adding the settings recommended in this thread, but it didn't work. I honestly can't go back to playing UT2K4 without the BW mod so if you can find and fix this problem it would be great.

This could either be an install problem or a package problem.

If it's a package problem, try adding this to your UT2004.ini ServerPackages section:
(This is a complete set of Ballistic Weapons .u files.)

Standard:
ServerPackages=BallisticV2
ServerPackages=BallisticV21
ServerPackages=BallisticVehicles
ServerPackages=BCore
ServerPackages=BCoreV2
ServerPackages=BCoreV21
ServerPackages=BEVehicles
ServerPackages=BEVehiclesV13
ServerPackages=BEVehiclesV14
ServerPackages=BWBP4Vehicles
ServerPackages=BWBPFour
ServerPackages=BWBPFourB
ServerPackages=BWBPOneV2
ServerPackages=BWBPOneV21
ServerPackages=BWBPTwoV2
ServerPackages=BWBPTwoV21
ServerPackages=BWBPThreeV2
ServerPackages=BWBPThreeV21
ServerPackages=Infestation
ServerPackages=JunkWar
ServerPackages=JunkWarV2
ServerPackages=JunkWarV21

For my mod, either:
ServerPackages=BWBPRecolors
ServerPackages=BWBPRecolors2
ServerPackages=BWBPRecolors3
(Depending on what version you have.)

Kaboodles mod:
ServerPackages=BWBalPack
ServerPackages=BWBalPackCore

If that doesn't work:

First of all, is this over a LAN connection? Do all the client servers have the mod installed? Are all variants of the mod installed in the correct order? Is everybody using the same version?

You could try deleting your BallisticV21.ini and BWCache.ini, which should clear out any 'ghost' guns from past installs. This is sometimes an issue if you have used the old version of my mod.
