Ive been having strange problems on the server such as not being able to use _ in tag name and there are no weapons/hands in my screen when the map starts. Just seeing if its only for me or if others are having the same problem?
The missing _ is annoying yes. I can ask some guys in the swat community if they know how to solve the problem. Its just an .ini problem imo. And no, i dont have the problem with no weapon/hands. Is it every time?
I thought it was a character problem, but when i changed the allowable name character file to add the _ as an allowable character, it became a server mismatch issue.
I don't know if now that we have the redirect functioning if it would send the mismatched file to the client or not.
What do you think, WIZ?
Possibly, but it depends on the content of that file. Does it contain personalised data such as player name?
The way I fix name is I type name SAS_SSM_Nick in console. That's quicker for me than to open up settings. For the weapon problem, I don't realy know SWAT settings but there might be an option to show your weapon in the settings.
Thanks for underscore advice, I know Ive seen others a while ago with same problem and I do kinda remember hearing about the .ini file changes so I'll check that out..
Nvm, spoke too soon..once I went to the next map, I ran into the same problem..It said: Note: Some of your weapons have been replaced by server. I was able to run around but could do nohing more than open doors, couldnt shout or even punch, and had no weaps/hands again. :?
really weird, I recommend to reinstall the game. Pretty sure this is not a server issue.
don't ask me why, but some servers set up with "forcenoweapons" running.
they run around with handcuffs equipped, which allows them to run around like morons punching suspects to get them to comply.
I don't know why you would want to play on such a server, but if you do, just equip your flexcuffs and have at it.
Does that mod come with a brass knuckle?
I have D2D version and I don't have any problems with it.
What operating system are you guys running?
I also have the direct2drive one, aside from the fact that my pc is borked and it takes an average of 40 mins to load the game I have no problems.
Oh, and I had no problems with the version when my pc was functioning normally.
But most ppl can play fine on the pg.
Right guys, i think i may have a solution for you.
What are the restriction settings for the swat server atm?
I don't know how to do restrictions, so I don't think there are any.
I know some people have had no weapons at times, but I don't think the replacement settings are active. I'll have a look again.
Does anyone know what to look for?
Naw sorry I dont know much about s4 server settings, but I did find a S4 site/forums http://www.tacticalgamer.com .. might have some posts there about server problems.
And yeah Im running Windows XP 2002 Home Ed. and Ive never had the no weaps/hands issue on any other server before, just some slow loading at times like you said Nick.
3.open the SwatGame.ENG file, inside you must find this line:(its almost at the beginning of the file) DefaultMPName= ,now write your name after the equal symbol.
this is a possible fix i found on another site for our underscore problem, but I'm not sure if it would just cause file mismatches or not.
Unfortunatly the same as b4 here.
For me I found a fix to the underscore problem, all I do is once Im in the server, goto settings and goto the tab where you can modify your user name, and then without changing anything in your info, exit settings mode and my tags are back to normal.
So what your "NoWeaponInHand" problem is solved Ranger?
