    Custom belts not working on servers

    Hi everyone,

    This issue plagues me for quite some time in Blitz now: Though I have my belts nicely configured to my personal preferences, on mp-servers they are not loaded.

    Taking the MG17s of my 109s as example, in the loadout menu I only load invisible "S.m.K. Spitzgeschoss mit Kern" but as soon as I spawn on ATAG, TWC,... I am shooting a lot of "P.m.K Phosphor mit Stahlkern" (recognizable by the swirly smoke effect) and tracer ammunition.
    It is working on a self-created and hosted Lobby map with neat sneaky invisible ball ammunition, but not on mp-servers.

    I already tried everything I can imagine: Deleted my old "Guns presets", saved the new ones, edited the loadouts manually in the user.ini - but with no effect. Steam Cloud is deactivated in Steam and also for Blitz.

    Anyone an idea?

    Thanks and regards
    DUI

    Hi DUI, you have to delete your old user.ini to be able to save the belt in the "new 4.5 blitz user.ini"

    Hope it helps

    Good thinking Tibsun, thank you. Sadly, even with a freshly created user.ini the same results.

    Looks nicely in the file and on a Lobby map, but not on mp-servers. Still phosphor and tracers (probably the default loadout) there...

    Re: Custom belts not working on servers

    I had the same problem, I used my old loadout user.ini to use my old saved belts.
    Since these belts were now different, I tried to change and save them.
    It wouldn't work.
    I used a new name and saved it. Once restart, the belt dissappeared.
    I tried to copy lines from my old loadout into the new user.ini but you get the same issue.
    So I just deleted the user.ini file and let the game create it freshly and change nothing on it, now I was able to "save" new belts and names and they wouldn't dissappear.
    I don't see why it wouldn't work for you.

    I think you know this already but maybe you forgot to do this:
    To make changes apply in multiplayer you need to change the belt before your first spawn of this particular plane you selected in this server.
    Otherwise you have to rejoin the server to make this apply.

    Have you deleted the user.ini from documents?
    And is the folder you looked into the correct documents cliffs of docer folder?
    Somone once saved the folder with "Blitz" in the end like "MOD" in the end was in the teamfusion mod times.
    The folder is just simply called cliffs of dover (not MOD and not Blitz) and is used with the old game aswell as the new Blitz game.
    One of the reason you shouldn't start up your vanilla cliffs of dover without renaming this folder first.

    Last thing would be to delete user.ini both in main and documents, then verify to get this particular file new.

    If that does not help, there might be a serious problem with cliffs of dover.
    Or maybe it's a server thing that it wouldn't work on particular servers.
    The netcode would need and overhaul anyways since you always have to rejoin the server to make different belts on the fly.

    Oh DUI, one more thing, as I might have missed, you try to be stealth and no tracers - If you try to have only one type of ammunition in the belt, you have to use atleast two of the same type.
    Otherwise you get the standart belt.

    It needs to look atleast like this in the loadout for each gun:

    S.m.K. Spitzgeschoss mit Kern
    S.m.K. Spitzgeschoss mit Kern

    You are a genius! Added two times the ball ammunition to each gun - solved!
