Howto install Grapple Hook into my server

[TheCrow]

I have hosted a UT server, I would like to enable Grapple Hook on my server.

- I have downloaded: http://medor.no-ip.org/Weapons/NDgrap49c_Full.zip
- Copied the files from the .zip into the system folder of my server.
- copy + paste the lines from the UnrealTournament.ini file into the .ini file of my server.
- Rebooted server

The grapple hook is not working, when I join other servers I can use it right away.
Does someone know what I am doing wrong?

Tnx

it would be better if you would show the lines you added and some logs so people can see what is happening.

From vague recollection, this is probably going to be a missing INI file, needed to properly configure the grappling class in that package (at least, this doesn't appear to be included in the ZIP file that you linked to). See if this works:

1) Create an INI file (in your server System folder) called "NDgrap49c.ini"

2) Paste this into the INI file:

[NDgrap49c.Grappling]
HookSpeed=5000
HookKillMode=1
Range=5000.000000
FlySpeed=1.000000
FFlySpeed=1.000000
SpeedFactor=2.000000
bFlagFly=False
bFlagNoAttach=True
bFlagTeamTravel=False

I have followed your instructions, rebooted server but unfortunately not working.
In the Unrealtournament.ini under [Engine.GameEngine] I have pasted:

ServerPackages=NDgencli5
ServerPackages=NDgrap49c

And in the UnrealTournament.ini I have added these lines:

[NDgencli5.ND_Mut]
MessageTimer=30
bNotifyKeyBind=True

[NDdj4.DoubleJumpUT]
maxJumps=3
jumpType=2
jumpHeight=1.900000

[NDgrap49c.Grappling]
HookSpeed=2700
HookKillMode=1
Range=5000.000000
FlySpeed=1.000000
FFlySpeed=1.000000
SpeedFactor=2.000000
bFlagFly=False
bFlagNoAttach=True
bFlagTeamTravel=False

In the UCC.LOG I see:

hi

have you adde this : ?
[Engine.GameEngine]
ServerPackages=NDgencli5
ServerPackages=NDgrap49c

and if you runining a mapvote: this : ?

Mutators="NDdj4.DoubleJumpUT,NDgencli5.ND_Mut,NDgrap49c.GrapMut"

I have added ServerPackages=NDgencli5
ServerPackages=NDgrap49c

but not the mapvote lines, because i dont have mapvote.

The grapple hook is not working, when I join other servers I can use it right away.

Check if those servers are using the same exact version. If they are, use a cache cleaner, extract the file and compare file sizes and do a checksum if necessary. Also check if those servers are using extra files needed, those usually show up in the cache cleaner right below the main one.
Also, test with previous versions and see if you have the same problems with them.

If you are not using any MapVote and line with mutators is empty, clearly nothing gets loaded.

Sample of run-line from a Test Server

Code: Select all

UCC.exe server ?Game=BotPack.DeathMatchPlus?Mutator=NsUTw3.NsUTw,MVU3.BDBMapVote,Starter.TheStart?Difficulty=3 log=server.log

Without declaration of any mutator they won't load just because they are in "Packages"...

[TheCrow]

In the controlpanel of GTX Gaming there is a config panel where you can add mutators, in the field I enter:
NDdj4.DoubleJumpUT,NDgencli5.ND_Mut,NDgrap49c.GrapMut restart the server, it looks like it is working!!
Now I only have to find a way to disable the original translocator in the game. Can I edit this in UnrealTournament.ini? (In the config panel there is also a field: "CustomCode".)

[sektor2111]

Can I edit this in UnrealTournament.ini? (In the config panel there is also a field: "CustomCode".)

Yes, open file and search string "Translocator" - you might find some bool value being "True", just revert it to "false" - get used to read those files from time to time...

Yes thanks, I have turn it into false, it worked (bUseTranslocator=false)

I noticed the grapple hook only works when the weapon (grapple hook) is selected. In other servers you can use it with every weapon with the keybind.
I cannot find any related option into the grapple.ini.

[TheCrow]

Does anyone know how I can configure it so that the grapple hook works on all weapons? Now I have to specifically select the translocator/grapple hook to use it.
