Animation not showing for Clients

[YakZSmelk]

I've been searching all over and cannot seem to find what I'm doing wrong.

My character is built directly from the UT Content but for some reason in game clients cannot see animations or the weapons a player is holding. Here is my FamilyInfo which is really just changing the Mesh and Physics object.

class WSTPawn_FamilyInfo extends UTFamilyInfo
	abstract;
	
defaultproperties
{
	FamilyID="CLINT"
	Faction="Cowboys"
	
	CharacterMesh=SkeletalMesh'CH_maleCowboy.SK_maleCowboySkinny'
	
	PhysAsset=PhysicsAsset'CH_maleCowboy.SK_maleCowboySkinny_Physics'
	AnimSets(0)=AnimSet'CH_AnimHuman.Anims.K_AnimHuman_BaseMale'
	
	//Place materials based on teams
	CharacterTeamHeadMaterials[0]=None
	CharacterTeamBodyMaterials[0]=None
	
	CharacterTeamHeadMaterials[1]=None
	CharacterTeamBodyMaterials[1]=None
}

Here's an image showing the client and host.

Hard to tell much from the provided code.

Did you create a weapon attachement / 3rd person version of each weapon?
Does your skeleton match the UT skeleton?
Does your weapon set the correct EWeapAnimType?
etc
etc

Yeah I have attachment classes for all the weapons, skeleton animations work fine for the host, EWAT is all set. I only provided that code since I'm assuming it's a replication issue but coding isn't my forte (hence I'm working directly from the UT stuff).

I did have the animation working before when I just swapped the skeletal mesh in the UT code but I don't like adjusting Epics code if I can avoid it, which is why I extended new classes for my character.

Is there anywhere you can think the replication might be getting screwed up?

[slowJusko]

By the sounds of things, you're using the default UT3 animation tree and anim sets... provided the animation tree is getting the information it requires, it should just 'work'. A lot of that information is natively handled for UTGame...

Tis' odd... dunno... could be something obvious as hell, but I can't tell from here
Chuck a bunch of logs in, start looking for where it fails...

check the launch.log of your client, the fact that your posted code doesn't set any of the character materials might cause you problems.

i use the utgame code and i haven't had problems like that.

[YakZSmelk]

Good call, geodav.

This looks like the error to me, but not sure what it means. I'll have to dig through and double check all my spelling; strange that it all works for host though.

[0078.71] Warning: USkeletalMeshComponent::SyncActorToRBPhysics(): no PhysicsAssetInstance for WSTPawn WST-Arena.TheWorld:PersistentLevel.WSTPawn_1 with skeletalmesh: SkeletalMesh CH_maleCowboy.SK_maleCowboySkinny

might help if you watch my videos, but from the wisdom of hindsight also check DefaultCharInfo.ini

also make sure both client & host have the exact same files for content and code
