missing class files

ok this has probably been answered before but i cant find the thread its in (if it exists). and yes, i looked. for 5 hours.

ok so, im trying to get the druid mutator to work, but when i add the files downloaded from this site to the correct folders, system and textures blah blah, they dont add anything to the rpg mod(which works fine on its own), in fact, they somehow remove the magic weapons effects (not the files, they just dont show up in-game) and id really like it if someone could help me with this.

if you need something more descriptive just ask.

did you replace the ini file correctly / adjust yours?

yes, i did. i made sure to backup etc. and checked to make sure it was properly copied.

its not the ini thats the problem, it cant find the files to run druid's rpg. like the new classes and etc. it does, however, recognize the ability files for the normal rpg, but not the magic weapon files.

EDIT: for clarification, the files for the old abilities are existent. however, the new ones dont exist. i tried running a search and then looked through the files myself. if that has anything to do with it...

Is this in instant action or a server/client configuration?

Have you added "ServerPackages=DruidsRPG200" to the UT2004.ini file (or whichever version of Druid you have?)

If you are having problems with the weapons only, check the WeaponModifiers lines at the top of the UT2004RPG.ini refer to the DruidsRPG200 weapons, not the UT2004RPG weapons.

If the symptoms are that when you pick up a weapon, then switch to another weapon, but the first weapon has gone and you can't switch back, then you may need to re-install version 2.2 of the UT2004RPG.

The other thing to try would be removing all other mutators except UT2004RPG and then see if it works.

its in instant action

yes

thats the problem, the weapons arnt there. as in the whole no file for them thing. or in other words, the mutator is linking to a non-existent list of files.

its not either of these two, ive checked already

I haven't tried instant action for a long time. Can you try running a listen server and ensure the same symptoms occur please.

Sorry, I don't understand your response.
Is it no weapons at all, or no magic weapons, or switching back to weapons that gives the problems?
If no weapons at all, or no magic weapons, can you post what you have in your UT2004RPG.ini file for the WeaponModifiers.
If the switching back is the problem, can you try installing UT2004RPG version 2.1, then 2.2 over the top, then putting the DruidsRPG on after. Sometimes, an install of just 2.2 UT2004RPG doesn't provide all the files the DruidsRPG needs.

Do you get any errors logged in your UT2004.log file in the system directory.

I'm having the same problem. Or I think it's the same problem. I have everything installed (including the original, needed, rpg mutator), but I'm not getting magic weapons or the classes. The classes don't even show up in the Level buying thing.

If it helps, I'm getting Monster tongue in there, so there's gotta be something missing or out dated.

For the classes to work, you need to have entries like
Abilities=Class'DruidsRPG200.ClassAdrenalineMaster'
in the UT2004RPG.ini file.
And for the weapons, you need entries like
WeaponModifiers=(WeaponClass=Class'DruidsRPG200.RW_EnhancedInfinity',Chance=3)
in the UT2004RPG.ini file.

And have you got
ServerPackages=DruidsRPG200
in the UT2004.ini file
(assuming that it is version 200 of the DruidsRPG you have)

yup hes having the same problem.

the ini is fine, but its referencing a non-existant file.

mind if i post the ini here? or would that just take up space?

You can pm to me if you like.
Alternatively, just paste in here the top part of the ini - the UT2004RPG.MutUT2004RPG section.

Have you tried as a listen server, and did you get the same results?

it still doesn't work
