Using MultiplayUK for your deathball server?

They offer Deathball, they just offer an outdated version. Be sure to have them install 2.3 for you.
Once they do that, you will have to manually edit the server's ini on the ADVANCED page of the ClanForge control panel to include the necessary Deathball serverpackages:
ServerPackages=Deathball
ServerPackages=DeathballAI
ServerPackages=Deathball_rc
ServerPackages=DeathballSP
Next, you will need to move a paths line to make sure the Deathball textures take priority over the stock UT2004 ones.
Move this line:
Paths=../Deathball/Textures/*.utx
So it comes before this one:
Paths=../Textures/*.utx
Your ini should look similar to this example:
Paths=../System/*.u
Paths=../Maps/*.ut2
Paths=../Deathball/Textures/*.utx
Paths=../Textures/*.utx
Paths=../Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../Music/*.umx
Doing this will make the game use the deathball textures first and avoid the mismatch error that happens when Deathball isn't started with the -mod switch. Depending on how you want to run your server, this simple fix may not be right for you though. See this thread for more details: http://forums.gameservers.net/showthrea ... adid=15928
