Lan server help.

On my server my friend complains(i also complain) that when he gets on ther server he can pick up a gun but when he switches to assault rifle, trans, or starting weps that his gun he picked up dissapears. I don't have a clue why his guns dissapear mine don't. If this is a coding problem or another i would really like someone to help. If you need other info just reply in the thread and say what you need.

When you say that your weapons don't disappear, are you running off a separate machine or are you playing on the server itself as a Listen Server? If you are playing on the server itself, note that DruidsRPG has been a lot more thoroughly tested as a dedicated server rather than a listen server, so I would recommend running a dedicated server and a normal client on the server rather than a listen server. Others will disagree. However, this is not your immediate problem.

Weapons disappearing is normally an installation problem, and is quite often the wrong version of UT2004RPG installed. Certainly an incompatibility between the setup on the server and the files on your friends machine.

As a first step, I would suggest checking what versions of DruidsRPG and UT2004RPG you have on both machines - and make sure the sizes of files are the same. Check the System folder and the cache folder.

Does your friend have a problem when connected to DC?

Does your server have a problem when connected to DC?

As a test, if you have room on your friends machine, rename his UT2004 folder and copy the whole folder from your server onto his machine. Then see if you still get the same problem.

If that isn't pssible, you could try cleaning out the cache on your friends machine, remove DruidsRPG and UT2004RPG, and then re-install UT2004RPG 2.2, then DruidsRPG. If that doesn't work it might need a complete re-installation.

As of what i learned when i play the game on a listen server the game plays fine for me and no else. But when i make it dedicated and i try to join my own server the weapons i pick up will be their until i switch to trans for example. the assault rifle and gun i just picked up dissapear. So then i try to go and pick up the gun again i am not able to pick it up again.

What do you mean by this one?
and no my friends computer plays DC's game fine. Just on mine he has problems. Thx for reply

Have you got UT2004RPG and DruidsRPGxxx specified as ServerPackages in your UT2004.ini file? (where xxx is the version of DruidsRPG you have)

Have you got other versions of UT2004RPG or DruidsRPG in your cache folder?

No i just got the latest version of ut2004 rpg which was 2.2 and i have the latest druidrpg which is 2.0.

Do you mean these two lines under the {engine.gamengine}
ServerPackages=UT2004RPG
ServerPackages=DruidsRPG200 Then yes i do.

Ok.

So let me clarify. If you run a listen server, then you can play ok on that machine. If you run a dedicated server, then running the client on that same machine gets the disappearing weapon problems.

Are you running any extra packages? In case of incompatibilities, it may be worth running just the minimum to see if you still get the problem.
So just UT2004RPG and satore to start with (no DruidsRPG in serverpackages).
Then add DruidsRPG and check again. Then add any other packages, if any. See when the problem starts to occur.

Can you check in your cache folder, in the cache.ini, and see if you have a UT2004RPG.u or a DruidsRPG200.u in there. If so, delete them.

ok i will try these things later. Hoefully these things will fix my problem. On my old computer i would have this problem plus. I would also have no hud or aimer. Only once have i actually got the rpg to work like it should but that may have been an older version but i dont remember it has been at least 2 years since i got it working.

Ok as i put each game individually my results turned out that my server is not a big fan of the invasion spree mutator. For some reason this one makes your guns dissapear when its added. Maybe it is a code somewhere that needs fixing.

I have had the "weapon disappearing" problem before with the invasion spree mutator, so for a long time I played without it.

At the moment, mine is ok with the mutator, but I do not know what if anything I have done to fix it.

In the UT2004.ini file, I have serverpackages in the following order:
UT2004RPG
DruidsPRGxxx
SatoreMonsterPackv120
DruidsInvasionSpree103
DruidsAntiCamper102

The InvasionSpree and AntiCamper are quite old, so I think they must be after DruidsRPG and UT2004RPG in the list. It may be that they were built against UT2004RPG2.1, and so you might need to install 2.1 then install 2.2 over the top to get them working. But sorry, I can't remember what I did.

thats fine maybe i just need to add the druid invasion spree103 in the .ini because i dont have that serverpackage in mine so that could be the problem. I will try and post back.
