The new way (servers + clients)

Post by DavidM »

Previously all files were in ut2003/maps etc
now you have to put them into ut2004/deathball/maps etc
(not only talking about maps)

That way you get way less problems (for example tennis and warfare can stay, or server doesnt crash on mapchange)

So keep that in mind while playing around with the beta.

Start DB that way: ut2004.exe -mod=deathball

is this something new that TV have done, or is this something forced upon you by 2k4?

why don't you just put things in ut2004/deathball/(folder) ?

lots of mods did this with ut2003, worked out great

hmm a mod i beta tested for had that, and it did have linux issues, but someone wrote an ini to resolve it...i'm not sure though. But i know it is possible to run it on linux with that setup, i'd just have to look into it

i think it's a great idea that all mod files go into their mod directories (like quake).

It only gives your problems if you didn't install it properly as we described.
