I remember, or I think I remember a screenshot saying something like "Annika's pupa is OUT!"
When one of my monsters dies, or anyone elses, it just says "is OUT!"
If there a way to get it to tell me who's monster just went out, I would like to know about it, especially when I'm playing with other summoners (like Caz 2.0 today)

The monster summoning code is in the UT2004RPG core. Overriding any of those classes is Dru's ultimate call, before we even consider if it's possible to fix the bug. Sounds like a controller - pawn issue if it works with the bots (I didn't think it did).

Oh. So it's a universal bug, not just me?

I wasn't trying to say anything should be recoded, I thought it was just a problem with me, like I didn't have a file I needed or something.

Nope. There's a bug in the UT2004RPG code.

I think the general rule is:

It works in "Instant Action", but not in multiplayer.

Heh, If you only knew how impossible this one is to fix. I've tried my hand at it and been entirely unsuccessful.

For those brave enough to try, the problem is related to the fact that the actual controller isn't replicated to the clients. (Not even a little bit)

If you do register it like a regular controller, all monster's skins turn to jacob (although their attributes remain unchanged)

The fundamental problem is this: The first word we learn as children is NO. From that point forward society teaches women that saying no isn't polite, and society teaches men to respect those who wont take no for an answer.
