A bug I found with UEd
Posted: 04-04-2004 21:55
This is just a bug I found while mapping and I thought I should let someone know.
The first thing I should make clear is that this is all using the recommended installation (that is - ../ut2004/deathball/whatever).
If you're making a DB map in unrealed you get to the point where you have to add in all the db-specific actors. Of course you have to load up deathball.u into the class browser to get all those special little things. Another thing I should mention here - and I'm not sure if this is new for beta 2.0 or not - is that if you try to open a DB map you get some weird errors and UEd quits. You have to first open deathball.u before opening the map.
Anyways, after you load up db.u you can do everything fine - putting in actors and all that crap. The thing is, though, that when you load up db-u into the class browser I've found that it creates a load of unwanted files in ../ut2004/system that really shouldn't be there (see attatched image).
Now at this point if you try to run ../ut2004/system/ut2004.exe -Mod=Deathball it will load up UT2k4 just fine, however DB is not listed under gametypes. The only way to fix this is by deleting all those files in ../.ut2004/system then running Play Deathball.cmd again.
Just thought I'de let someone know. I hope this wasn't already a problem.
