MonsterHunt version

[David]

I tried to get involved on same time on MH III and on Gopostal's server as well, but when I tried to joing it stated that I had a mismatch file titled MonsterHunt. I got this error on both servers. I know in the past I just find that file and delete it and download the new one from the server.

But what file do I delete from my computer, I have several files that it could be.

After I thought about it, I was not sure if it was a file or the version of UT I have. I had v436, but then I found the v451 and v451b and installed them but I am unable to get on the MonsterHunt servers now....

I was just playing on the servers yesterday????

Do Not use 451 or 451b as a Player.
Versions higher than 436 are for Servers Only mainly.
As a player, use version 436.

Nevermind...I found the answer on Hooks website http://hooksutplace.freeforums.org/mons ... -t343.html

Now back to the game.

It seems as though I am talking to myself.......

Should I try to go back to 436?

Ok, I went back to v436...Thanks Hook.

Be careful here!
I believe (seen it posted elsewhere) that you can merely re-install 436 patch.
But, get you player version Back to 436.

As far as the MonsterHunt files, I do not know.

I did re-install v436 and it brought it back. As the MonsterHunt file, thanks to your forum the answer was there and I deleted it and now I am able to play on the Monsterhunt servers.

Why would it change? I played it yesterday I believe...

[Hook]

I am glad it is all good now.

As far as why it changed? - I couldn't say.
It either had something to do with your version of UT, or somebody got a re-saved version of the file in question - either on the servers or yourself.
I am thinking it had something to do with the 451 UT version - but who knows.

Hmmmm? Maybe there are files with the same name but having different sizes because they are different versions that somebody failed to name change upon release. That is my best guess.

Let me explain.

When Shrimp coded the MH mod he purposely broke the code in the rock tentacle class so the mod could not be easily changed. It was a really stupid idea, but to each their own I guess.

Anyhow you cannot make a dependent mod from the source code because it will always fail to compile the MH. Modders were stuck modding from outside MH and this is why some of the early things frankly sucked. A good while back I released a fixed MonsterHunt.u that has the full source code so modders can use it easily. Most likely the one David had was the complete one. It will give a mismatch to any server.

What gopo said, or simply David reinstalled UT and the MH mod but forgot to apply the v503 patch to Monster Hunt.
