Patch question

[Maltesefalcon]

Is the latest 1.3 beta patch compatable with FE cause everytime i start it am getting fatal error crashes.

[Maltesefalcon]

Thank you for that so to run FE i have to have patch 1.2

[Spawn]

Yup.

Due to being able to specify directories like the save and pilot files and so forth in the bzone config file, and that you can specify the bzone config file on the command line for bz2, the mod launcher is relatively useless now and should be replaced with a simple shortcut.

[Spawn]

Could you configure MM5 to work with bz1?  You could also use .bat files to do basicially what febz.exe does.

I don't have access to any of the source coding for the launcher.  I have the source to most of the single player missions and for MPI.

[OvermindDL1]

BZ1? Wha?  I thought FE was being talked about...

[Spawn]

He wants to make a similar launcher for bz1 mods.

What about a .bat file DX?

[Maltesefalcon]

The patch you have linked how do i install it and also it doesn't make FE compatable with 1.3p3

[Spawn]

You just unzip it after installing FE.

To my understanding: it makes (most of) single player compatible with 1.3 pb3.

I don't have access to any of the source coding for the launcher.  I have the source to most of the single player missions and for MPI.

Last time i've checked, you don't need the source code to edit the FE launcher.   Just simply edit the FeBz.dat in notepad & the file gives you info on how to go about editing the file.

Here is a correction to the febzone.cfg I included in the zip above.  I had commented out fedata.pak since I was using an experimental fedata13.pak.

ConfigureFileSystem()
   {
   ConfigureStream("base")
   {
 
   AddDirRecurse("@rootdir\FE13DLLs");
   AddDirRecurse("@rootdir\FE13");

   AddPack("@rootdir\patch13.pak");

     AddDirRecurse("@rootdir\revd");
   AddDirRecurse("@rootdir\revc");

     AddPack("@rootdir\data.pak");
     AddPack("@rootdir\bumps.pak");
     AddDirRecurse("@rootdir\data");
   }

   SetActiveStream("base");

   // Optional, for mods -- the ability to put pilots & savegames in
   // other directories. Commented out to simply demonstrate how to
   // do it.

   SetPilotsDirectory("FEpilots");
   SetSavesDirectory("FEsaved");
}

Need a host for the file.

Reply here if you are able to host the FE updates for 1.3 and I'll gladly e-mail the files to you.  The modlog also needs a host, but that can wait since it is still being updated.

How big is it?

The reason I ask is that I'd gladly do it, it's just my upload speed is terrible and it would probably be more efficient for someone else to do it if it is large

If its mostly cfgs and stuff then sure, I'll do it
