UT Troubleshooting Tips

System Issues

1. Check the Device Manager for Interrupt conflicts, especially between Sound Card and Network/Modem Card.

2. Try turning off Precaching:

It sounds very like a problem with Precaching. I can't say for sure (as I have no experience with that particular graphics card) but do you see a screen saying Precaching before it loads a map?

If so, here's how to turn it off.

Note: for all of the above I'm assuming that you're running the game in Direct3D

Go into the UnrealTournament/System folder and find a file called UnrealTournament.ini then click on it and it will open up in notepad.

Now, scroll about half-way down (actually, just a little more) until you come to a heading that says:

[D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice]

Now, go down and change the bit I've highlighted so that it looks the same:

quote:

Translucency=True
VolumetricLighting=False
ShinySurfaces=True
Coronas=True
HighDetailActors=True
UseMipmapping=True
UseTrilinear=False
UseMultitexture=True
UsePageFlipping=True
UsePalettes=True
UseFullscreen=True
UseGammaCorrection=True
DetailTextures=True
Use3dfx=False
UseTripleBuffering=True
UsePrecache=False
Use32BitTextures=False
DescFlags=1
dwDeviceId=257
dwVendorId=4318
Use32BitZBuffer=False
UseVertexFog=False
UseAGPTextures=False
UseVideoMemoryVB=False           <<Try setting to True
UseVSync=False

Other setting's you may want to play with are the 'Use Detail Textures' and 'UseTripleBuffering' but I don't know if they'll really help with that card.

Try this first:

1) Start UT
2) click on tool, then system console
3) type this: preferences <hit enter>
4) CLick on the (+) next to Networking
5) CLick on the (+) next to TCP/IP Network Play

now in there you need to change the following values:

1) LanServerMaxTickRate = "1"
2) MaxClientRate = "10000"
3) NetServerMaxTickRate = "1"

Now try an game. If your pings got better but are still high try lowering the MaxClientRate some more(ie 8000,7000,6000) till you find a good setting for you.


If the previous didn't work then try this:
1)Start UT
2)goto Options
3)goto Preferences
4)goto Network

Now lower your settings from (Cable, xDSL) or what ever you have it on to Modem (28.8k - 56k) and see if this works.

I already set my LanServerMaxTickRate to 1 in the IpDrv.TcpNetDriver section but the LanServerMaxTickRate in the Engine.DemoRecDriver section was set to 10000. I didn't even think of that section. I changed that one to 1 as well, and now everything is back to the way it's been for the past two years

How do I produce screenshots

Press F9. This will produce a .bmp file named shot0000.bmp, shot0001.bmp, etc. in your UnrealtTournament\System folder.

If you're having problems starting UnrealEd, please install the UnrealEd Fix 4 -- this eliminates the "Runtime Error 50003" messages and some other frequently-reported problems starting UnrealEd.   Try it!

1. Here's how to create particle systems in Unreal.
2. Create and animate a mesh. The process for creating particle system meshes is identical to that for regular creature/weapon meshes (create triangle meshes, make sure they're scaled properly, import them into Unreal using the normal procedure). Texture coordinates and textures don't matter, however. When Unreal renders a particle system, it will draw a scaled sprite at each VERTEX in your animated mesh. So, the mesh triangles don't matter at all for rendering, just the vertices. Since particles are based on mesh vertices, particles cannot be created or destroyed during an animation.
3. Assign the mesh to an actor class. Set the following default properties:
• Style = How you want the particles to be rendered:
      STY_None (Invisible)
      STY_Normal (Normal solid particles)
      STY_Masked (Masked particles)
      STY_Translucent (Translucent particles)
      STY_Modulated (Modulated particles, i.e. dark smoke)
• Texture = The texture map you want rendered for the particle sprites. They're all rendered with the same exact texture!
• Mesh = The mesh to use for generating particle vertices.
• DrawScale = How much to scale the particle sprites by.
• bParticles = True.

See the DispersionAmmo.uc script and its corresponding little particle effect Spark3.uc for an example of a cool particle system. It's the projectile for Unreal's default weapon. Note how Spark3t uses STY_Translucent, and then fades the particles from full brightness down to nothingness by modifying ScaleGlow and AmbientGlow in the Tick() function.

Here are some fairly straightforward tricks that can be implemented in existing maps.   These are worthwhile enough that I recommend going back and applying them to existing maps, in the worst-performance areas where you need a speed boost.  The areas that are noticeably slow are the large outdoor areas where you see buildings from the outside, and areas which use a lot of dynamic light.

• When you have a huge outdoor area, have as few far-away meshes in view as possible.   Type "STAT MESH" and look at the "MESHCOUNT=xxx" number to see how many meshes are in view. About 50% of the CPU time required to draw a mesh is irrespective of its size, so if you have a gun lying on the ground a mile away,    but it's visible, even though it might only take up 1 pixel on the screen, it takes several milliseconds for the engine to perform lighting, transformation, and teeny polygon rendering on it.  For example, in walking along the ridge in Bluff, the MESHCOUNT is 6, though I was only aware of one mesh (the Nali). It turns out that there's a transparent window, and two meshes visible through the transparent window, and three meshes somewhere else (not sure where).
• In the huge levels that combine indoors and outdoors, like Bluff, where you want to have transparent windows that players can see out of, use this one-way transparency trick: Add a semisolid cube brush for the window; make the inside face transparent and one-sided; and make the outside face non-transparent and one-sided.  This way, players inside can see out, but players outside can't see in.  This noticeably speeds up maps when the player is on the outside, looking in.
• If you have a lot of dynamic lights in an area, and you don't mind extremely fuzzy (low detail) shadows, use the "super low shadow detail trick": If you select both "low shadow detail" and "high shadow detail" on a surface together, the engine uses a special "super low shadow detail" mode which is 4X faster for dynamic lighting.  Since this makes the shadows extremely fuzzy (which looks weird sometimes), this isn't a good trick to use all over the place -- it's just for the areas where you want to have a LOT of dynamic light, or dynamic light in huge outdoors areas.

These are things people needed but I didn't have time to create proper user interfaces for:

To align textures as floors (like for the ground in Pancho's hubs) AND scale them up, do this:

1. Select the polygons.
2. Do the normal "align as floor" thing.
3. In the log window, type: POLY TEXSCALE RELATIVE UU=2.0 VV=2.0

The above command scales them up by a factor of 2.0. You can scale them up or down by different amounts by plugging in different numbers, for example: POLY TEXSCALE RELATIVE U=0.5 V=0.5

If you have a super-huge outdoor area and you want even lower shadow detail than normal, you can check both the "Low Shadow Detail" and the "High Shadow Detail" options. UnrealEd recognizes this as a special combination that means "Superduperultralow shadow detail".

Server

Find your own IP address by accessing www.ipnummer.de from the PC where you are setting up the server. This one needs to be specified with multihome=<ip-address> in the command line that starts the server.

Running a UT Server on a cable / DSL / T1 modem on the Internet from behind a LAN.
(This assumes you already have a LAN setup, if not see the "Setting Up a LAN" article)

I am getting a few e-mails concerning problems with both WINDOWS and LINUX running on LAN's and trying to connect to the INTERNET. Which is why I am doing Tests with various software programs that allow a LAN UT server to connect to the INTERNET. I am still getting e-mails everyday concerning this so let me make a few comments here:
This is the same for both LINUX and WINDOWS:
The UT server running on a LAN is almost always easy to find from the UTBrowser under the LAN Tab, it shows up with the client box's IntrAnet (internal) address like 192.168.0.2 or something similar. The problem is you cannot find it on the IntErnet (external) address, it doesn't show up in the UTServers internet Browser Tabs.
Ok, there are a few steps you have to do to get the UT Server to advertise on the IntErnet and to get your remote admin website to work from the Internet:
In your UnrealTournament.ini or server.ini whichever you are using to run your UT Server, you need to find these sections:

[IpDrv.UdpBeacon]
DoBeacon=True ****Make sure this is set to True

next:
[UWeb.WebServer]
Applications[0]=UTServerAdmin.UTServerAdmin
ApplicationPaths[0]=/ServerAdmin
Applications[1]=UTServerAdmin.UTImageServer
ApplicationPaths[1]=/images
DefaultApplication=0
bEnabled=True
ListenPort=80 ****Make a note of this port number you need it for your RemoteAdminWeb
MaxConnections=30
ServerName=24.161.30.39 *****Right Here set this to your external (internet IP address belonging to the LAN's Server box

next:
[IpServer.UdpServerUplink]
DoUplink=True ****Make sure this is set to True
UpdateMinutes=1
MasterServerAddress=
MasterServerPort=27900
Region=0

Okay, now here is the hard part, I can only give you the general info, how you make this happen depends on the software used on your LAN to connect you to the outside world and get you thru any firewalls you have running.

You have to go to the LAN's Server "control window" or "server manager" or "firewall control window", and allow the ports needed by UT to have access permission or Port Forwarding set. The normal ports (UDP Ports) are 7777,7778,7779,7780,7781 and TCP port 80 for your RemoteAdminWeb site and I am not sure how the UDP Port 27900 comes into play. If you don't have access or permission to open these ports then you have a problem, so bribe, threaten or blackmail the Network Server Administrator in charge, to do this or else hehe ( Only kidding don't do this )

I have detailed info on opening the ports using WINGATE "Standard Version" because I have already tested it.
02/23/00 - I have finished testing SYGATE, much harder to install until we got the right apprule.cfg :) ....MK

What is SYGATE and WINGATE? They are software programs designed to let you connect all the computers on your LAN to the Internet thru a single IP address such as Cable, DSL, or a T1 connection. You can run as many computers as your LAN hub setup will allow. But your ISP (Internet Service Provider) will only see the one Computer attached that you are using for your server. You can click on your browser from any computer and it will pass thru the server right to the internet as if you had a direct connection .

SYGATE and WINGATE each require that you have them installed on all the computers you want to have access the internet. Only the one box connected to the internet will be setup as a server, the others will be setup as clients. Here is a typical LAN setup:

It seems I needed to download and install WINSOCK2 on my PC's to get SYGATE to recognize the NIC's (Network Interface Cards). WINGATE only required WINSOCK2 on the client box, not the server box, however SYGATE required it on all the PC boxes. I followed the instructions for setting up the server box and the client box, pretty similar to the WINGATE instructions and settings as far as the TCP/IP goes. I was able to access the Internet from both the server and the client boxes.

Mplayer doesn't exist anymore, so UT just isn't finding their master server. You can remove that server by editing your UnrealTournament.ini file (or Server.ini, or whatever you use) - go to the [Engine.GameEngine] section and look for the line that starts:

ServerActors=IpServer.UdpServerUplink MasterServerAddress=master.mplayer.com...

You can do a search for "mplayer" to see if it is in there anywhere else, but removing that line above should be all you need to stop it from trying to connect to that non-existant mplayer master server.

Some server admins have reported that after a while all of the players get increasingly
lagged out when the UT server is running on Windows 2000. This seems to happen only
when the remote administration webserver is running. We believe it may be related
to this Win2K issue:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q258/1/00.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=tech&FR=0

The workaround is to only run the remote admin webserver when you actually want to administer your
server. Disable the remote admin webserver by removing the line which says

ServerActors=UWeb.Webserver

in your server's INI file. To activate the webserver, join your server as an admin and
type the following command:

admin summon uweb.webserver

When you've finished administering your server, you can disable the webserver with the command

admin killall webserver

• Make sure to match the maximum number of users for your server to the bandwidth you have available.  The amount of bandwidth required for each user is determined by the MaxClientRate, which is set by default to 20000 bytes/sec.  If your upstream bandwidth is limited (for example a cable modem), you should reduce this value.  Make sure that the number of players your server allows (MaxPlayers) multiplied by MaxClientRate is less than your available bandwidth (in the case of cable modems or xDSL, your upstream bandwidth).  
  
  The MaxClientRate variable can be changed by editing your UnrealTournament.ini file in your UnrealTournament\System directory.  MaxClientRate is in the [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] section. 
  
  When you have your MaxPlayers or MaxClientRate set too high for your upstream bandwidth, you typically see everyone's ping get progressively higher, above 1000 and beyond.  This occurs because your server is generating too much outgoing data for your internet connection to handle, and the data begins to back up.

> What should the MaxClientRate be set to, to allow good ping on an ADSL Server? And how many players would work well too?

It really depends on your ADSL provider. You need to work out what your maximum upstream bandwidth is in Bytes per second. One way to do this would be to ICQ a large file to a friend who is on DSL or cable, and look at what the transfer rate is, or if you know what it is in bits per second, divide by 8. ie 256kbps upstream bandwidth is around 32000 bytes per second.

Once you have that number, work out what maxclientrate you want to give everyone. 2600 is the bare minimum and it'll give modem-like netplay for everyone. 5000 is fine for modem and ISDN users but the play won't be quite as good as it could be for ADSL or cable users. 20000 is the largest you should ever go.   The number of players you can support is the upstream bandwidth in bytes per second divided by the MaxClientRate you chose.   So with 32000 bytes per second of available bandwidth, you could support:

32000 / 2600 = 12 players at modem quality play
32000 / 5000 = 6 players at ISDN quality play
32000 / 10000 = 3 players at better-than-ISDN quality play
32000 / 20000 = 1 player at LAN quality play.

I'd go for the 6 players at 5000 if all I had as 256kbps upstream bandwidth, because 5000 doesn't play too bad at all, and it's a good compromise.

• We recommend disabling local NGStats for internet servers.  Processing the NGStats logs takes some time between levels, which may result in remote clients getting disconnected.  You can find this setting in the options->preferences menu, under the game tab.
• Admininstrators can control downloading of packages from their server by editing the [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] section of unrealtournament.ini:
  
  [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver]
  AllowDownloads=True
  MaxDownloadSize=0
  
  AllowDownloads disables all autodownloads.
  MaxDownloadSize=0 means allow autodownload of any sized file. Otherwise the value is in BYTES. We recommend that rather than disabling all downloads, you set the MaxDownload size to an appropriate value. For example, MaxDownloadSize=100000 will allow mutators and other small packages to be downloaded, but will not allow large files such as maps to be downloaded. Turning off all downloads may make it hard for clients to get on your server if you are using a lot of custom maps, mutators or other custom packages.

Creatives

Als Beispiel wurde die Male1-Klasse verwendet, bei allen anderen funktioniert es genauso. Bevor Du anfängst, solltest Du Dir im Klaren darüber sein, daß das Erstellen eines Skins ziemlich viel Zeit in Anspruch nimmt! Ein Skin besteht aus 4 Texturen à 256x256 Pix mit 8Bit (256 Farben). Es ist nicht eine große mit 512x512 Pix, weil 3DFX-Karten größere Texturen nicht verwalten können. Außerdem werden so die Skins in Körperteile unterteilt, damit zb. Unterschiedliche FACES zur Verfügung stehen, oder verschieden Teamfarben.

Öffne den UT-Editor, wer UT nicht hat, Skins für die Demo erstellen will, nimmt den Editor von Unreal. Lade die Textur "soldierskin.utx" aus UT(demo)\textures\. Jetzt seht Ihr alle Texturteile. Exportiert alle ins PCX-Format. Jetzt könnt Ihr sie in einem Grafikprogramm bearbeiten. Ihr müsst ein bischen Fantasie haben, dann pixelt Ihr euch ein wunderbares Skin. :)

Jetzt müsst Ihr wissen, wie Ihr die Dateien zu nennen habt:

Man benutzt ein "4-Buchstaben-System" Vorne steht eine beliebige Abkürzung des Skins, dann eine Zahl. Diese gibt an, welcher Körperteil es sein soll. (siehe Bilder oben!!). Danach kann ein T_0, T_1, T_2, T_3 oder auch " "(ganix) stehen. Diese Nummern geben an, für welche Teamfarbe diese Texture steht. Für CTF, AS, DOM sollten mindestens ROT_0 und BLAU_1 . NUR die Texturen "1" und "2" lassen sich für unterschiedliche Teamfarben definieren !

·        sldr1.pcx = base chest/ back

·        sldr1t_0.pcx = Red team version of chest/ back

·        sldr1t_1.pcx = Blue team version of chest/ back

·        sldr1t_2.pcx = Green team version of chest/ back

·        sldr1t_3.pcx = Yellow team version of chest/ back

·        sldr2.pcx = base legs/boots

·        sldr2t_0.pcx = Red team version of legs/ boots

·        sldr2t_1.pcx = Blue team version of legs/ boots

·        sldr2t_2.pcx = Green team version of legs boots

·        sldr2t_3.pcx = Yellow team version of legs/ boots

·        sldr3.pcx = base arms/ shoulder pads

·        sldr4.pcx = base face/ hair/ neck/ headset/ hand/ boot bottom

·        sldr4Johnson.pcx = Der Name am Ende gibt den Titel des "faces" im PlayerSetup an.

·        sldr5Johnson.pcx = Ausnahme!!:

Dies Textur ist bloß 64x64Pix, bei 8Bit. Das kann ihrgendwas sein, sie wird oben links im HUD angezeigt, wenn der Skin-Benutzer chatet. Der Name muss bereits als Textur "4" vorhanden sein !!Man kann so viele "faces" wie man will erstellen. :) Kopiert Euch die "soldierskins.utx"-Datei in eine "soldierskins_XXXX.utx"-Datei um.Wenn Ihr all das getan habt, dann IMPORTIERT die Dateien im UnrealEditor. Aber überschreibt auf keinen Fall die vorhandene "soldierskins.utx"-Datei, da sonst kein Internetspiel mehr möglich wäre!!

Eine int-Datei für Euren Skin erstellen.

Ihr braucht nun eine ".int"-Datei im System-Verzeichniss. Das ist eine normale Text-Datei. Nennt sie "soldierskins_XXXX.int" Der Name der X.int muss gleich der X.utx sein. Diese Datei sagt der Unreal-Engine, was sie mit den Texturen anstellen soll. Unten ist ein Beispiel für eine solche Datei (wo SoldierSkins steht, schreibt ihr den Namen der UTX.Datei, wo sldr steht, schreibt ihr das Kürzel vor euren Texturen).

·        [public]

·        Object=(Name=SoldierSkins.sldr1,Class=Texture,Description="Soldier")

·        Object=(Name=SoldierSkins.sldr2,Class=Texture)

Appendix A, Server .ini file

(http://www.planetunreal.com/TheAdminPage/ConfiguringYourIni.htm)

What is your .ini ?
Your .ini file is the road map or blueprints to building the game server the way you want it to look and act [within limits..hehe].
You use these to setup a variety of things...like Server name, Admin Name, your connection speeds to the internet, number of Players, Bots, Teams, Teamsize,etc.
The UT CD comes with two .ini files which you need to pay attention too, they are located in your c:\UnrealTournament\System:
The first is UnrealTournament.ini or if viewing in the win 95 file explorer it may show up as just UnrealTournament under name and configuration settings under type. This is the default .ini that the game uses.
The second is server.ini or server...configuration settings.
At the moment I prefer to use the UnrealTournament.ini file and I copy it for use as server1.ini and server2.ini.

If you are launching from the commandline or bat file you will be able to specify which ini file you want UT to use. So you can shorten the ini by removing sections the dedicated server doesn't need, I highlighted the sections I removed from my server1.ini in blue:
Here is a text copy of a server1.ini with changes made to it highlighted in Red :

ConfiguredLanSpeed=20000

[IpDrv.TcpNetDriver]
AllowDownloads=True...apparently this used to only stop the downloading for you as a client, in patch 405b this now works on the serverside as well. You can stop people from downloading items from your server. The DownloadRate is now equal to the MaxClientRate, so downloaders are treated the same as players in terms of bandwidth...for 413 Patch...If a client running 405b or earlier connects to your server, it will ignore the redirection feature and attempt to download the file directly from the server, so it is important to configure the non-redirected download options even if you intend use redirected downloads.
MaxDownloadSize=0...this is a new item in patch 405b...you can use this feature to set the maximum size of the files you want to have downloaded from your server per client. If you set this at a number smaller than the average map size but larger than skins or mutators, then players will only be able to download skins and mutators, but not maps, etc.
DownloadManagers=IpDrv.HTTPDownload...this is a new item in patch 413...it is required for the Download Redirect feature. You will have to manually add these lines to your UnrealTournament.ini or server.ini whichever you use to run your server. It effects the new [IpDrv.HTTPDownload] section.
DownloadManagers=Engine.ChannelDownload...this is a new item in patch 413...it is required for the Download Redirect feature. You will have to manually add these lines to your UnrealTournament.ini or server.ini whichever you use to run your server.

KeepAliveTime=0.200000
MaxClientRate=5000...This is the max speed you will allow an individual client to connect to your server..it will work great for the average cable modem user...telephone modem users will be trying to connect at 2600, whereas T1 players may be trying to connect at 15,000 but will not be able to, they will only connect at this setting maximum...For Servers on cable and DSL modems you can set this to 5000, for T1 Servers set this to 10,000 and 15,000...although EPIC says the most any normal individual player will draw is 7,000 even if the MaxClientRate is set higher.
SimLatency=0

ServerTravelPause=4.000000
NetServerMaxTickRate=20...Leave the tick rate at 20 (the default value). Using scientific and high tech testing techniques, this value was found to provide optimal netplay (ie trial and error). "It sets the maximum tick rate (frames per second) of the server. By default it is 20, which means that servers will tick at 20 fps. This is a good compromise value, since it keeps server cpu utilization low without having a significant impact on ping or physics. Higher values will reduce ping, but increase server cpu utilization, and vice versa for lower values"- Steve Polge @EPIC

[IpServer.UdpServerQuery]
GameName=ut
OldQueryPortNumber=0...You have to manually add the lines. Leave the OldQueryPortNumber at 0 and it'll fill the correct port number in the first time you run the server. This is a feature in the UTPatch428 that if added to your UnrealTournament.ini or server.ini whichever you use, will reset/restart your UT Server with it happens to "port swap" when it is not supposed too.
bRestartServerOnPortSwap=True
MinNetVer=405... Servers can adjust the minimum compatible version number reported to clients using: MinNetVer=405 or whatever like 413, 430 etc. This can be used to prevent older clients from seeing your server if you are running a mod which requires a UT version newer than 400. However is does not stop clients from connecting to your server. They just can't see it in the Browser

[IpDrv.HTTPDownload]...This section is new to UT Patch 413 and needs to be manually added to this ini file.
RedirectToURL=http://www.website.com/fullpath/to/directory/...To enable redirected downloads, you need to set the RedirectToURL variable to point to the website where the files will be autodownloaded from. If a client running 405b or earlier connects to your server, it will ignore the redirection and attempt to download the file directly from the server, so it is important to configure the non-redirected download options even if you intend use redirected downloads.
UseCompression=True...If UseCompression is set to True, the files must be stored on the remote website as compressed .uz files. You can create a compressed .uz file by using the command ucc compress from the DOS prompt in the UnrealTournament\System directory. Typing ucc help compress will give you a list of supported options (currently this is only a list of filenames or wildcards to compress). If UseCompression is set to False, the custom package files should be put on the website as they are.

In that instance you can put your server's IP (or a DNS name if you have A DNS entry setup to point to your IP) to force it it use a specific value." ...so in this case you will enter your external IP Address...- Jack"MEK"Porter
