not sure where this goes, but I can NOT dodge anymore?

Post by Ozma777 »

I was playing on a camper/sniper server earlier today and found out I can't dodge (forward, right, or left) and I just thought they disabled it on their server.
Then I got on a CTF server with just the stock UT99 maps (server was called PURE something) and dodge was STILL disabled!
I thought maybe it's also part of their "pure" experience, as usually you have to press the key for strafe (as right and left are turning).
Then later I got out my BT map in progress that I am making and went to test it (Build/Play from Ued) and got to the first dodge only to find out I CAN NOT DODGE!

Anyone know what the F*k is going on here and how to fix it?

That (and not only that) is the reason why I changes most INI files to ReadOnly. And have a copy on a safe place, of course... ^^

And that's the reason why I only join server where I know the admin personally.

btw. I can't join your server because my Shibuki model/skin is different than yours.
Same problem as what you mentioned here.
Can you provide a download ...I want to join again.

Some sniping/camping server use a mutator to disable your dodge while on the server but once you left it, you should have the option to turn it on as Terra mentioned.

Can't do that without a proper replacement ...because one of my dearly beloved bots is using it and this bot is active since ...for ever. It's a nostalgic kind of thing.

You are not using XC engine? It has this option bCacheConvertAtJoin or something like that. It automatically extracts the contents from the cache and places it in appropriate folders. Except that it doesn't create .int files for any mutator or skin.

In your case simply delete or cut-paste somewhere the .u and .utx file of the skin, leaving the .int file and join Barbie's server and download the skin.

Ya I thought I had asked this before.
So I didn't change the setting, is there a server mod that maybe did it for me?
Or one time it crashed, and maybe that's when it happened.
I feel like a dork not remembering that it is in the Game settings and NOT the Control settings.
Maybe if I had just checked Every page of settings I would have seen the simple fix (recheck the box).
Thanks all for answering this question I should have been able to fix myself.

Hmmmm... but I don't want to flood my UT with all this stuff. I have already enough things and it start to get confusing.
I just want to have this particular skin. Wait, I have a cache cleaner somewhere. I could use this to get the skin/model. Thanks for the idea.

I know this. But then I have to copy back my old model to use the bot in my offline play.
That's bothersome.
Anyway ... I got the model now. I'll replace my version with this one.

Like I mentioned, camping servers use anti-dodge mutators. One of them (I think DOU server, not sure about the other) have the option to keep unticking the Dodging box off.

--------------
Using the XC_Engine's auto cache conversion is not what Papercoffee need. The reason why there is conflict from the server because Papercoffee have the said package that's using the same name and it doesn't match with the server's one. Papercoffee want his skin regardless having to deal with those file mismatches and as the usual, temporary help does involve with moving the file from 1 folder to another folder that UT doesn't activate to read (Like add a Other folder and UT doesn't try to scan it).

Meanwhile, XC_Engine is working on taking care of that without the need of deleting the main file and scan both cache and main file directory to the right and matching the content.
