Category To Do

EntropicLqd: Way to many console pags kicking around

MythOpus: Heres something... odd. I can't summon anything in the console

EntropicLqd: I've noticed that some of the objects I used to be able to summon are no longer summonable. If you check your UT/UT2003 log file you'll see an error message that tells you the object you are trying to summon is either bStatic or something else - maybe !bPlaceable. I forget the specifics.

Mythopus: Ya, in their script they aren't ' placeable '. I can't use any cheats in multi-player either (any at all) (and yes, i am ADMIN and I A<M logged in :S )

MythOpus: I think I found the problem... UT2003 requires a Pickup class to actually pick up a weapon.. I believe you need to get the Pickup Class name not the Weapon name... I need permission to change all that tho
