Heh, MeltDown.  Now there's a name from the past.  Who was that guy who 
used to spam here too with the iron hand and a supposedly big penis? ;-)

No, I'm not playing anything on a server.  I suck too much for that :-D.  I 
guess that ut4e just doesn't like running under Wine on Linux or under a 64 
bit CPU, or something :-/.  I had a few things that spontaneously started 
working for me under ut4e (not any of the external skins or voice packs 
though), they seem to work once, and the next time you start ut4e up again, 
they are gone (as in not working) again. :-(

Ah well, thanks anyway for all your help!  Having the replacement weapons 
working in it has been fun enough.
