That is starnge. Can you connect to other v469 servers? What UT version do you use? You don't need to update, v469 is supposed to be backwards compatible, especially with v436. Nonetheless I have linked your post to Anth, he might have more information on it soon.

I just recently came across this kind of issue 2 days ago with the Invalid actor class.
The only way you are gonna find out is to slowly remove 1 server actor(and it's corresponding packages if so) at a time and mutator until player with 469 client can join.
There is a mod conflict going on. Send your server files/ini to Anthrax or let him have admin access with FTP and such so he can find it lol.

Solution was to connect with 436... No idea why 469 wouldn't run.

It already feels like a boring ghost town. 30 minutes in and I was the only one in the game, apart from 11 bots who never showed up anyway (apart from occasionally being stuck in teleporters, like wat), so I restarted the timer and left. I expect the ordeal to be over by 23:00 UTC.

Connected as spectator and only bots playing.*

*Stuck, unable to navigate.

[Gustavo6046]

This was so uneventful.

[papercoffee]

Please try it again ...maybe on Sundays like an Advent calendar.

[EvilGrins]

Okay definitely gonna edit it now...

I think some well placed UTDM and a couple NPC players should lighten up the monotony.

[Shrimp]

As much as I'd planned on joining, I could not survive staying awake until it started (23:30 SAST).

[EvilGrins]

Given all the Christmas presents, and the secret Christmas room under the city, I'm kinda tempted to put XMAS muzak on the map.

Surprised ?
Oh well... I'm not...

Note: Any NASA machine won't help here - It's just UT Engine running an Un-Finished map - I'm not even curious what is about, what I can see in Editor is pretty relevant. This is v2A of said map, LiftCenter6 and LiftExit56 are... very "entertaining". I'm not curious what will do LiftCenter here...

Presumption note:
I'm not sure if map won't run much better under 2800 reachSpecs. Here is a place for improved paths...
@Higor - What do you think ?

[Gustavo6046]

I believe that I shall try again this Sunday. Get ready for some action! 1 hour earlier, too! Sunday, December 6th, 2020, 60 minutes starting 20:30 UTC.

It's just UT Engine running an Un-Finished map

It's not unfinished, it's a classic from FragNBrag, and a good one indeed. Just because it's a big map and prone to having slight misalignments here and there doesn't mean it is half-baked. Go make your own game if you're so inclined to pointlessly nitpick on everyone else all day.

[sektor2111]

if you're so inclined to pointlessly nitpick

Everyone can see it no worries, but I understand that accepting reality is harder, you need to be UnReal... Pathing has novice mistakes seriously so... Have fun around... It takes a while to get it solved but I think it worth tweaking it for real.

[Dr.Flay]

It seems the server had an old version of Wormbos Enhanced Items mod, which created conflicts.
I was in for a while before the start time, to make sure I could connect.
Came back later and couldn't get in

Well we can get things ironed out through the week.
I will try and find time to offer up my self as a bullet-magnet for your enjoyment.

[EvilGrins]

Got a basic edit done... map has:
· 4 UTDMT, 1 to each tunnel. I removed the BlockAll barriers so while they can't leave the tunnels they can throw boulders at players.
· 3 UTDMS placed in random spots at different elevations across the map, each with different projectiles.
· 2 UTDMW.
· 2 NPC players, named one Jackie Gryphon.

So, if nothing else, anyone who plays it will definitely have stuff to do if no one else is around.

I re-skinned the Stone Titan in the secret Christmas room under the city...just because. Was kinda surprised to find him down there.

BadNews doesn't replace monsters, as I recall... just adds more depending how players get killed.

Any monster swapper mutators will effect most of those things I placed on the map, though I'm not sure if that would effect the NPC players.

From the readme for BadNews

You will see monsters when :

- A player on a killing spree is killed
- A headshot is scored
- A player is hammered

Note that the first line actually means that a monster is spawned when a player on a killing spree or above (Rampage, Dominating and Godlike/Unstoppable) is killed.

MonsterSpawn will certainly remove monsters placed in the map on the first respawn by the mutator - can't remember about NPCs (if they are ScriptedPawns then they will almost certainly be removed).

On a wider note, the readme for the map says

This level is (in part) copyright by Rob 'FraGnBraG' Burns 2012, 2013.
If authors use this level as a base to build additional levels then they are absolutely insane and the map will explode into a million HOMs.

So presumably permission will be sought from the creator of the map to release an edited version?

[Gustavo6046]

Sorry, I had to go for a walk, so I couldn't be around at the specified time. Yes, we are going to test this everyday. Once it actually is confirmed to work well enough, I'll define a set day and hour, but it'll be weekly -- but for now, join in anytime! (or try anyway, lol)

I re-skinned the Stone Titan in the secret Christmas room under the city...just because. Was kinda surprised to find him down there.

Yeah, hehehe!

BadNews doesn't replace monsters, as I recall... just adds more depending how players get killed.

Yeah. It's fun to rack up points and get to spawn Titans headshot after headshot. Also, I remember hammering people and having it spawn Cows....err, nuclear warheads, more like! Don't shoot at them -- it'll hurt you if you do!

IIRC I had already loaded BN4 before I found out there was already a Titan in the "secret" Christmas room lol. It wasn't really all that secret, though -- I find it very likely that from just regular roaming some naive person would try to snag the Flak Cannon and fall down the trapdoors! Mwahahaha, trapdoors, such a sweet kind of trap. Makes me miss making spiky Christmas pungee pits for those damn pestery brainless cervids runnin' 'round town.

Don't worry, I'll keep BN4 in. It's so fun!

Pathing has novice mistakes seriously so... Have fun around... It takes a while to get it solved but I think it worth tweaking it for real.

I think it was an older map, so to be fair I can see why it wouldn't bae quite as polsihed. Newer FnB maps are pretty good, though. His AMC entry, for instance, the one with the trams or something -- superb!

But yeah, sorry if I poured a little there. But the bots can't use the teleporters properly on multiplayer -- that's worth investigating, imo!

[OjitroC]

I think it was an older map, so to be fair I can see why it wouldn't bae quite as polsihed.

It dates from 2012/2013 and, according to his website, was FNB's last released DM map (though there are 12 later CTF maps plus 5 DOM and 3 MH) .

Also from the website there is this on EpicTown (this note isn't in the readme)

NOTE: This was never intended for online play and thus was NOT tested on UT servers. As is it pushes the limits of all aspects of Unreal Engine 1 and thus Admins would need to lighten the map considerably in order for it to work properly online. If you really want it on your server and have the requisite mapping skills then by all means you are free to have at it Cheers!

[EvilGrins]

So presumably permission will be sought from the creator of the map to release an edited version?

Presumably... though I've found it hard to get in touch with him since he moved on from UT.

One interesting thing on the map I've noticed is I couldn't telefrag a UTDMT. A message popped up saying it wasn't possible to telefrag monsters.
