Gd to know its sorted hopefully. Did you get ur levels back locrian? I know you didn't mind but tbh you earned those levels and someone spending 2 seconds deleting them is hardly fair.

Well done and hope this works. But ye, fixing the exploit would be a good idea from this point onwards i think

All downloads from servers are sent to the UT2004/Cache folder so clearing that out might do the trick

To be honest, I can't see any ways of banning him via CD Key. (s)he has already shown that (s)he's capable of getting anyones key as mentioned already about other player ID's being spammed in all chat. So If you were to ban em, whats stopping em getting someone elses key and doing the same?

I was playing yesterday evening for a while and noticed that when he first joined the match he shouted my name and ID and thought it was indeed weird how he got that information. Fortunatly I stopped playing shortly after he appeared to missed all of this but yes, just to confirm, this player was indeed up to something suspicous.

Might go and check my characters just to make sure they're ok, sorry for your loss of levels tho m8, don't the server keep a backup of them somewhere?

I had a run in with the NVidia defect that has and still bricks a lot of laptops:
http://www.nvidiadefect.com/

Bought mine from staples. After phoning and talking to the techies they asked for the report that I got from this website; whos service was outstanding I might add. After I got this and sent it to them staples agreed on the fault (as it was out of warranty proof of defect was up to me). I then promptly took this brick to my local staples store and thought I'd simply be offered a laptop of similar speck. I was wrong. They worked out the difference in price i paid (even tho the new one was originally the same price but reduced lol). They then gave me for £30 - 3 years cover of accidental damage cover and warranty. So my new laptop was now better, cheaper, and awesomely covered and all thanks to this website who got me the defect proof and staples for their awesome customer service and upholding of the laws and following them to the letter.

So moral of the story: if a laptop fails use the site linked above if you have the nvidia defect and secondly... make sure you buy a laptop from staples... they're the BEST!

Note:
If anyone wants to come up with class or even sub class icons for this program you're more than welcome to and full credit will be given.
I'm no artist so any images you can create that I can use are more than welcome.

can't beat the weapons tho!

Well you know, I blame UT3 for the dieing of the forums. If that was as awesome a release as when ut2004 first came out then there'd still be players playing that and thus visiting this site....but thats another story.

You know what I hate the most? that aweful thing called 'real life'...always getting in the way and leaving less time to be devoted to real persuits...like UT2012 with RPG v1 million.

So ye, I can understand why you'r trying to get it to work and I secretly hope you do

but I'm just saying 'be careful all ye who enter here' and stuff

well Szlat...

Could you release a list of all the abilities and their settings such as what monsters you get for monster masters at what level? Would help my character builder immensly and its not breaking any code violations, just after server settings.

Shame you can't get it working offline tho, but if it does indeed require breaking into and editing the code, then I'd rather wait until druid says its ok to be released as like you said, his code, his discretion.

Sorry Anthrax for the lack of help but I wouldn't know where to start as not a UT person only when it comes to playing it

So you can try to get it working but like Szlat says, its druids, and it he catches you, he could send the police around to your house, seize your assets and even raid the fridge for the angel fruitcake you like to much... and you wouldn't want that would you?

UPDATE: v2.2
-Character stats with same name now can be looked up on DC website with 1 click
-'Adrenaline Weapons' Master fixed and now purchasable
-Ability Requirements color coded for easier viewing
-Ability Requirements Auto scroll to current level if offscreen
-Some abilities have extra comments added showing what you get next levels
*Automatically shows next available level unlocks
*Other levels can be clicked to show their unlocks
-Sub classes now viewable at any level but only buyable at proper levels
-Selling Sub Class now refunds stat point correctly
-History 'collapse all/expand all' on right click added

So in other words.....it was complicated lol

Well gd thing I keep a backup of my UT in a rar file (2gb

) with it all setup perfectly before I make a mess of the game so it's easily restorable

Well tbh, I think you have done a rather gd job getting it working as far as you have.

Well it's half working lol.

For some reason every class has Limit Breaker skill (don't even know who suppoed to have it). And to make things even more confusing, Hoarding keeps reappearing as an ability to add no matter how many times I've re-copied it back to say its removed.

Also I'm having the same problems as you so it's not a server issue. I have to reconnect just to display the class I've bought and a subclass completly crashes the game on reconnect. And thats offline!

Just out of curiosity, how'd you get the ini file anyways? I've tried using an cache extractor and all I get is the .u file... i even had to make my own .int file just to get to use it in UT

cheers m8, some very useful things in that for me program.

Sorry can't be any help on getting it working offline in UT. Seems pretty odd it reboots the game if all the subclass details are in the ini after all tho. I'd love to get it working offline myself too as I simply don't have access to every sub class that's available and it's also a bit unfair keep joining the server just to get skill information/etc.

If you do get any luck getting it working offline tho, be sure to give me a shout

I'll give credit in my character builder tho for your input

Funny you should say that as in my experience it always seems to crash in the later waves when they tend to appear so maybe it is something to do with those enemies?

The plot thickens......
