Why aren't the weapons appearing in the game? Or any others?

Hey, I've been wanting to try out this mod but am having a few problems with my installtion.

Now before you ask, I have looked over some of the previous posts as well as searching google for answers, and have seen that the most common mistake is not installing the v2.0 before the v2.1. I have double ... actually quadruple checked this over and I am still having problems. So I have reason to believe that I have properly completed this step(merged files into the correct folders, etc.) although it is possible that I could have overlooked something.

The problems I'm having are as follows...

1. Everything looks installed, all the mutators are there, and the list of all the ballistic weapons is accessible when configuring certain mutators such as Arena, and MutEffects Library, but whenever I enter a bot match, LAN game, etc., there are only the default UT2004 weapons and none of the ballistic ones,

2. Same thing, except when I try to force one of the weapons to appear in the game by using a mutator such as Arena, no weapons appear in the map, and me and my opponent(s) aren't holding weapons either, not even the default UT2004 ones. There are also no weapons available in the designated weapon spawning points, nor do they ever spawn. So in short, there are no weapons in the match, AT ALL. All you can do is run around.

Looking at the symptoms of the issues, it seems as if the files are in the right places, but UT2004 is having problems reading them. That's what I've deduced at least.

If anyone has any answers for my dilemma, or even some suggestions, it would be awesome if you could share some solutions with me. Thanks.

Can you detail exactly which files you have and where they are installed?

Also, what version is your UT2004 install? ECE packs installed? Pirated, GOTY CD, reg CD, etc?

Here you go.

______
UT2004 Client Specifications
[Build 3369]
[CD: Retail Copy - Editor's Choice]

If by ECE Packs you mean other mods, then: ChaosUT2, Red Orchestra, Air Buccaneers, Rocketeer, Frag Ops, Domain2049. I don't believe Alien Swarm is a mod, but I could be wrong.

I have to ask the silly question, I know it's silly, but if the normal weapons are appearing, are you using the Ballistics deathmatch option for all of this? The mod uses a mutator also to change the game types, so you can use it in other types, but there's also the BW gametypes that you may or may not see on the game type menu.

I know it might seem obvious, but someone has to ask. <.<

ECE = Editor's Choice Edition that is the bonus content for UT2k4. You can get it http://www.beyondunreal.com/main/ut2004/ut2004essential.php from the official site for free. As far as I know, you don't need it, but why take that chance anyways?

The only other thing I can think of is Server packages, but that only effects LAN and internet play... Not the instant match stuff.


Oh! Have you ever used a TC mod? Total Conversion mods have been known to overwrite stuff that BW might use, I don't think any of what you have does that, but I don't use them, so I don't know. I would suggest installing UT2k4 to an additional directory and doing all of the installs again (ECE / mega packs first!) and then BW 2.0, and then 2.1. It may work, it might not. If it does, something in your base folder is wonky, but you'll have a working version. You'll just have to use a new shortcut or something. >.>

Oh shoot, I forgot to re-check this thread.

My Ballistic install comes with BWBPOne.u, so that might be the culprit. If you have or lack Junk Wars, that might be causing an issue too.
If you still haven't gotten this resolved yet, I could probably package my setup into a huge .zip or .rar and host it somewhere.
