Overview
If you made/downloaded a new VoicePack, installed it on your server, and it does not work, then check this out.
1. Problem’s description
Hi, community!
I wasted a lot of time to fix problem, therefore share with you.
So, you have nonstandard VoicePack. Usual installing procedure:
1. Copy files NewVoicePack.u and NewVoicePack.int in System folder.
2. Add line ServerPackages=NewVoicePack in unrealtournament.ini.
3. Launch the UT and make sure that it works fine offline.
4. Then you create your server and plan to surprise your friends by new voice, but you meet with failure. File is just ignored by client and is not downloaded. As a result you get empty Voice Menu or menu with phrases, but only you can hear it. If you open Server.log in System you can see lines like this:
DevNet: TcpNetDriver on port 7777
Log: Server Package: SoldierSkins
Log: Server Package: CommandoSkins
Log: Server Package: FCommandoSkins
Log: Server Package: SGirlSkins
Log: Server Package: BossSkins
Log: Server Package: Botpack
…
Log: Server Package: NewVoicePack
Log: (server-side only)
Log: Server Package: NoInvisibility
Log: Server Package: NoUDamage
…
That “server-side only” is the root of all evil. This flag (attribute) applies in new VoicePack as default and we need to delete it.
2. Problem’s decision
1. Go to System, find UCC.exe application.
Put compatibility with Windows XP (SP3) and check mark “Run as administrator”. Save.
2. Windows >>> Accessories >>> RMB on “Command Prompt” >>> Run as administrator.
3. In my case the game’s location is disc D, therefore enter command D:.
4. Then you need to go to UT’s System folder, enter command:
CD D:GamesUTUnreal TournamentSystem, you have your own address of course.
– Ctrl+V combination doesn’t work in command prompt. Use RMB >>> Paste.
– It’s not recommend to use spaces and not-latin symbols in game address line.
5. Go to System and rename our NewVoicePack.u to TempName.u.
6. Make sure that it haves attribute ServerSideOnly, enter in command prompt:
ucc packageflag TempName.u
Result:
7. And now is the most important – deleting of that attribute:
ucc packageflag TempName.u NewVoicePack.u -ServerSideOnly
That is command apply necessary name for our file and delete the flag (attribute) ServerSideOnly.
8. Now you can delete unnecessary TempName.u and make a control check according to clause 6.
Congratulations! It will work fine now! 🙂
Command “ucc help” shows all available commands. For example, you can compress/decompress UZ-files. It’s useful thing for Redirect.
