How to fix Zarniwoop's hologram generator for v227i?

Post by Devil Master »

When I had just bought Unreal, back in 2000, I had found an interesting mod called "hologram generator" which added a pickup that, when used, was thrown in front of you to emit a hologram version of your player character. However, that mod was incompatible with anything but the first version of Unreal.
I tried it again, right now, with v227i, (I downloaded it from here) and if I execute the console command "summon hologram.hologramgenerator", the game crashes with this error:

My knowledge of UnrealScript is very limited so... what is wrong? Why did it work out of the box and now it doesn't? Is it even possible to fix it?

EDIT: the mod also crashes when it's loaded from the Actor Classes window in the editor, so [url=http://www.celticwarriors.net/Website/Mirrors/CHiMERiC/Tutorials02/Tut33/UnrealScript%20Tutorial%2033%20-%20Hologram%20Generator.htm]here[/url] is the source code to inspect.

Great! You said you "exported everything": what did you do, exactly?
