| Possible Minor Bug - UTComp 1.6a |
|
|
|
I believe I have found a minor problem with UTComp 1.6a, although it might be unique to my machine. I have noticed that when using DemoRec or the UTComp’s automatic demo recorder, the players are completely invisible when recorded in a local game (instant action), although their weapon fire can be seen clearly. Oddly, the demos are normal when joining a server that runs UTComp. The demos are also normal if I drop UTComp from the mutator list and play a standard game.
To try and remedy this problem, I re-installed UT2004 from scratch, added patch 3355, and UTComp 1.6a, and then tried to record a local game, again. The players are still invisible, although the weapon fire is not and all sounds can be heard. In effect, ghosts are fighting.
I did keep the USER.INI and UT2004.INI from my original installation. Other than that, all the installed files are fresh.
Has anyone seen this effect when recording a local game and using UTComp?

i'm afraid i've never recorded an instant action game using new comp. maybe lotus didn't take that into consideration with 1.6 since i don't know how usefull it would actually be.

You've forgot to add the server packages line to your UT2004.ini.
Open up your UT2004.ini, and scroll down to the header [Engine.GameEngine]
Under that header you will find a bunch of ServerPackages=xxxx lines. Scroll to the bottom of those and add the line
ServerPackages=utcompv16a
This will allow you to view all future demos recorded on your own server. Unfortunately, your old instant action demos probably won't work.
And try not to listen to Architect, he's an idiot.

Nice call, Moyer!
Adding the Server Packages line to my UT2004.ini was the exact fix. Recorded local demos are entirely visible now.
Damn, you sure know your ini files! I gave you a 5 rating for your ace knowledge.
Thanks!
