Setting up an inv server is no easy task . Most everything you need is in your cache.

Well, as you know if you look in your cache folder everything is in hex. If you download and install a cache extractor, it will read the .ini and show the specific names of the files in your cache. Then, all you have to do is check the files you want and then uncache them to another folder.
I do not use cache extractors consistently anymore, but when I did I liked this one:
http://www.calvert.ch/utcache/
Click the download button on the left, then click on the "download version 2.3" link at the top. Install, and the rest is pretty easy to figure out.

- Mutator setup is not just about getting the files and placing them in the right folders , it requires changes in the UT2004 system Ini files and another files wich contain ,settings and interaction scripts for the mutators to work correctly , and such files are not downloaded just by joining the server , thus you don't have them in your cache - What you are trying to do is simply not the way .

The best and easiest way to get all the files for monsters and such is simply to download it from the server and use a cache extractor.
I'm kind of hesitant to recommend this, particularly because stuff like the WailLords are still works-in-progress. This isn't a big deal for the .u files, because all my releases are versioned (BETA1, etc.), but I've been thinking about making some alterations to the WailLords textures. I could theoretically release a new texture package (ie, WOSWarLordsTex1a, an add on to WOSWarLordsTex1) but for what I want to do I'd prefer not to.
If I ended up releasing another version of WOSWarLordsTex1.utx, and you'd extracted (or otherwise downloaded) the textures you might have a version conflict... Not a big deal if you remember and know what's up, but I'd prefer to avoid having people have difficulties playing on the server.

i did download them from the cache but the only files in there were the u files and i realize the conflict but i cant even get the files to work and i dont thing all these monsters are our there on the web.
