I just download the deathball.zip and on my computer I don't have a ut folder just the ut icon. I can't figure out how to install deathball. I'm gonnna try reinstalling but I don't think that will work, can you guys help me.

Also, I have a Mac and the latest patch, not 3204 i think its like 3234 or something.

I hate to triple post, but then again I hate to figure things out by myself. I had the maps set in a different folder so i put them in their correct folder. Now terminal has cut it down to

dammit...just did a huge long post, then accidently clicked reset form...

*goes back to sleep...

anyway, I can't help much, I don't use my mac for deathball...and from the looks of that terminal text, u need 1 of the TV team /0\

DiStUrbeD · Post by **DiStUrbeD** » 04-08-2004 00:01

that looks like the same thing you get in windows command prompt when you try to start a server

its trying to upload stats and resolve the master server and stuff

either that or its just showing him the hard code of what the game is doing, for some odd reason

f1end · Post by **f1end** » 04-08-2004 09:52

BTW...terminal is just a command prompt for mac (:o ...macs have a command prompt

)

This is probably important, .exe files don't work on macs. I had to download the zip file and the site says its only for starting servers. the problem is my firewall is off, but for some reason I can't host games (atleast in warcraft3) and I have no idea whats going on with the dedicated server thing. So last night I got fed up with this and ended up throwing out ut2k4 and deathball. I'm going to reinstall it again then download it again. Then when that doesn't work I'll come back here and complain a little more.

I feel so stupid... I went to quick game and i saw deathball. I clicked it and had to dl a lot of stuff but it worked.

That must mean you started DB through the UT2004 icon, meaning it won't initialise a ton of stuff.

I bet you get the actual UT2004 models, for example?
If your game resembles the screenshot and situation as described in this thread, then it isn't exactly as it's supposed to be yet

although it's better than nothing

The error is being worked on by TV I think :p
It's supposedly because a lot of DB-specific things (like the models) aren't initialised if you join a DB-game without opening up the DB menu first.

edit: I was going to show a screenshot of how the models should be, but that wouldn't be all too good of a promotion
