i dont get it, theres a special weapon-loss-thread in bug-reports, why "you" allways post that here? "General" is not the only thing in the MMI-forum!
PLEASE POST WEAPON-LOSSES HERE: (i mean ALL players, not only you, border)
http://monstermadness.iforumer.com/view ... termadness
and if possible read from beginning and answer zombies questions!
ONLY TYPING A STUPID SENSELESS/WORTHLESS:
"I LOST MY WOPPED RL REJUVE IN GAEL"
IS HELPING NOONE!!!!
border i know you using adren-speed-combo a lot, try to remember if the weaponloss happend (sometimes, allways...) when you used that. or now, if you know it "allways" happens (only) to you, maybe you stop playin for highscores and start to look only for weaponloss for some maps, please? i know its hard when you want try to be killed by monsters, but there are some peoples who try to find out what that weaponloss causes and maybe you can help with that!
mp5 and shieldgun-loss:
mp5 and shieldgun are your primary weapon, which you "normally" allways have when you spawn. now, when you die, however,
and respawn next time, did you ever recognice you got a "new" shieldgun and a "new" mp5? if you had a wop-mp5 or sg, or a retention in one or both, and "denial" or "retention" IS workin, you will recognice 2 weapons in one slot, the old one you had and the new one. i think the problem here is with getting "new" primary weapons (or whatever the 2 standard-spawnweapons are called) which maybe cause some conflicts/errors in some (unknown??) cases and "deletes" the old weapons for whatever the reasons are!!!
another problem is, it looks like this have nothing to do with weaponloss from other weapons, doesnt matter if they the normal ut-weapons or summoned weps or wops.
in last time many recogniced and/or posted
"only" weaponloss with that two weapons. i know now comes mister syngame and says "did never happen to me", be happy then, but thats not what we want to know/talk about. dont try to use mp5 or shieldgun, when you have problems with weaponloss.
maybe a reinstall "can" help, but i know many who do a reinstall "wrong"...
if you only overwrite all standard-ut-files when reinstalling ut, all the old "extended" crap (like other downloaded and installed mutators, skins, maps, mods etc) will not be deleted so it was wasted time.
delete all ut-folders ,before you try to do that.
*note1*:
some (like me) have huge maps- and textures-folders (have 18gig now). if you have a slow connection and you need to download that all again..... you know what i want to say... well, some bad maps/(and missed) textures can cause troubles, but not really when you dont play them. ut is recognicing, when a map needs textures, meshes etc, at beginning when you start it. when a missed "file" is recogniced, it will be written down in ut2004.log-file. if you have 1000s of missed files you need to wait till ut is ready to post that in the logfile. so be sure this messages
have only a small amount in logfile. if, then i think theres no problem to keep the maps/textures and only overwrite/delete the rest, esp. all what is in system-folder.
*note2*:
border (and all others who think you need to do that), make a copy of your user.ini and ut2004.ini before reinstall. if you play on "stats"-servers, to be displayed in epic-stats, you need to enter a password and a username. if you forgot that, (u cant see it in settings, its #######)
open your user.ini in ?:\ut2004\system-folder and search for:
StatsUsername=########
StatsPassword=############
you need (to copy) that!
if you dont have your ut-key anymore i think your levels will gone too...
*edited* you will see your statsusername and statspassword there!!!!
i just overwrite my things with "######" !!!!!!
good luck
