Post subject:  Waepons missing in Multiplayer Games
hi there,

i experienced a problem with ballistic waepons for ut2k4.

i wanted to play the game with bw in a lan with a buddy of mine.

wen connected our two computers one time via crossover cable and the second time via my internet router.
both times the problem was the same.

the one who made the server always had all the waepons.
the client not.

for exaple: we played ballistic conflict bith some bots.
i was the server.
my buddy was the client.
i was able to choose every weapon i wanted, but the client not.
he was able only to use a few weapons. if he selected the wrong waepon, he was thrown in the battlefield with empty hands.

he even was unable to see the waepons of the other players.

after a while we switched roles.
he made the server and i was the client.
same again. now my buddy was able to use all weapons, but i was not.

the is no rule, that there are some wapons that cannot be used. it always happens randomly on every match.
on every match, different weapons are available for the client and others not.

it somehow seems that the client receivs a list of available waepons from the server, but for some reason the server never finishes the transmision to the clinet, so the client uses only that few weapons that the server was able to tell him.

we use the latest bw version 2.1 gold with junkwar installed, too
(in junkwar the same problem occurs)

my computer is a laptop with intel core2duo T7500 @ 2x2.2 GHz 4MB cache & geforce 8600 GS & 2GB RAM & WinVista
the computer (laptop) of by buddy is an intel core2duo @ 2x2.8 GHz & geforce x260 GT & 2 GB ram & winXP

the game runs fine on both computers.
on mine 40 to 70 fps, and on my buddys laptop even better.

firewalls are switched of during the game.
on standart ut2k4 normal weapons matches that kind of problem does not occur.

has anyone an idea how to fix that problem?
i am grateful for every reply.
please excuse my bad english. i am german.

I have had this problem too in my LAN games. It often stems from not having updated ServerPackages in your UT2004.ini. Try updating yours with all the .u files you're trying to use.

Here is the set that I use, personally:
Code:
ServerPackages=BCoreV21
ServerPackages=BallisticV21
ServerPackages=BWBPOneV21
ServerPackages=BWBPTwoV21
ServerPackages=BWBPThreeV21
ServerPackages=BWBPFour
ServerPackages=BWBPFourB
ServerPackages=BWBPRecolors3
ServerPackages=BWBPWeaponPack

As you can see it has all the important .u files. Hope this helps!

Are any guns giving you guys trouble in particular?

no. the "problem-guns" are random on every match.

thank you for your reply. it helped me solving the problem :-)

i have browsed my system folder for all .u files of the ballistic waepons mod.
after i localized them all, i added them to the UT2004.ini in the ServerPackages section.
(Under "Engine.GameEngine", where the other "ServerPackages" lines are)

this are the files i found. i added this lines to the ini file
Code:
ServerPackages=BallisticV2
ServerPackages=BallisticV21
ServerPackages=BallisticVehicles
ServerPackages=BCore
ServerPackages=BCoreV2
ServerPackages=BCoreV21
ServerPackages=BonusPack
ServerPackages=BWBP4Vehicles
ServerPackages=BWBPFour
ServerPackages=BWBPFourB
ServerPackages=BWBPOneV2
ServerPackages=BWBPOneV21
ServerPackages=BWBPThreeV2
ServerPackages=BWBPThreeV21
ServerPackages=BWBPTwoV2
ServerPackages=BWBPTwoV21
ServerPackages=JunkWar
ServerPackages=JunkWarV2
ServerPackages=JunkWarV21


after doing that the problem was solved.
i started a dedicated server and played on it.
we were able to use every gun we wanted.
both on junk war and ballistic waepons.

we started an death mach game, including junk war meele weapons, in ballistic loadout.
it worked fine. :-)

thank you again for your fast help.

i would have an additional question.
why i have that much files.
your ServerPackages lines are less then mine

i intalled first the zip package BallisticWeapons2.0
then the JunkWar zip package
then the patch to BW2.1
and after that the last zip package BW2.1 GOLD

i have downloaded them a long time ago.

is that maybe a reason for the large amount of BW files?

You seem to be using the older files as well as the newer ones. I think it's because you have Junk Wars installed which might rely on those old files.

I'm only using the base BW guns with the many mod packs of the community.

i understand.
i like junk war as much as ballistic weapons.
i play them together, by adding to BW matches, meele weapons from junk war.

well, i am very happy, that everything works fine now, thank you again for your help Sgt. Kelly :-)

hi there,

(excuse me please my english is not so good, i will try to explain as good as i can)

1. navigate to the unreal tournament 2004 installation directory (by default its: "c:\ut2004")
2. go to the folder "System"
3. open with the windows text editor the file "UT2004.ini"
4. search in this file for the section "[Engine.GameEngine]". use the keys CRTL and F to bring up an search menu. type in the search menu [Engine.GameEngine] and press enter.
5.now the editor should have marked the line with this text.
6. below the marked text you can see many lines with other text.
7. scroll down until you find the first blank line.
8. copy and paste the following text IN THE BLANK LINE (set the cursor with the mouse on the blank line, so the vertical line | flashes there)
in other words you have to append the following text to the text in the ini file you just opened.
this is the text you have to append:

Code:
ServerPackages=BCoreV21
ServerPackages=BallisticV21
ServerPackages=BWBPOneV21
ServerPackages=BWBPTwoV21
ServerPackages=BWBPThreeV21
ServerPackages=BWBPFour
ServerPackages=BWBPFourB
ServerPackages=BWBPRecolors3
ServerPackages=BWBPWeaponPack


9. after appending SAVE (CTRL and S) the file and close the editor.

after doing this procedure it should work. on my machine it worked.
