Fe on 1.3 beta 3?

[ViperBC]

Have tried Mega Mountain, in several different configurations.  Just tried it now and have the same error messages, and no recyclers.  Hmmmm....   

Not sure where to put this question  - are there any "Extra Options" in Multiplayer that I should or shouldn't use?  Any that don't work at all and I should avoid?

[Red Devil]

Sorry, just saw this.

Might be the way you installed it.

All the Extra Options should work in the PB3 build.  Some aren't active unless you choose Normal or Hard Difficulty (Extra Options page 3).

[ViperBC]

No prob.  I was busy all weekend.   

I followed the install instructions to the letter.  Also, researched install issues (i.e. folder names & renaming, files not being copied to the correct location, etc.).  All maps work in BZ2 1.2 w/FE Full install w/RevD, but I would like the maps to work with  1.3 PB3, and PB4 (when it arrives)   

If it would help, I can list my install procedure??

Thanks.

[Red Devil]

Yes, that would help a bunch.

Is your shortcut pointing to the PB3 FE install and using the provided .CFG file?

Also, if you can, do this:

1. Open up a command prompt and navigate to the root of your install.

2. Type in dir > bzinstall.txt

3. Open up that txt file, copy/paste it here.

[ViperBC]

Yes, to your first question.  (I am using your install file, version 5.)   

The "Target:" line for the shoutcut is  "C:\Battlezone II\BZ2_1.3pb3_FE\bzone.exe" /config fe13bzone.cfg

The bzinstall.txt file is below.  Thank you for your time and help.

<cough>

Sorry to interrupt with such a dumb question, but will installing as you have instructed make single player FE work with 1.3 ?

[Red Devil]

Not sure what the problem is, Viper.  You using Mod manager to launch FE?

Blewyn, yes, SP works on my end.

[ScarleTomato]

This is the same thing i kept PMing you about a while back. Never did get it working...

Has anyone been able to get this working that isn't on the dev team for it?
Maybe there's something still missing in the zip?

[Red Devil]

I had made another clean install of everything after that and it worked for me, so I'm thinking it must be the maps or install glitch.

[Red Devil]

I think I'll simplify the installer like I did for PB4 (combine fedata.pak, FEaddon, RevD, FE13, and FE13_MPI_Assets into one Pak file and have one FE13addon for the maps):

1 Pak file
1 folder
1 CFG file.

[Red Devil]

Does your Start in: entry have the same path as the Target?

[Red Devil]

 I just tried FE13 again on Mega Mountain and it worked correctly, so that make me think install problem or

Hmmmm... just found something.     I'll upload another zip later on today.

[Red Devil]

Yep, found the problem.  Gonna take a break to eat and watch some tube, then I'll upload everything.

[ViperBC]

Thanks for all your help.

The answer to your questions:

1. I am not currently using MM5, but I have in the past and can do so again.
2. Start In: entry does have the same path as the Target.

[OvermindDL1]

You could always toss in my launcher exe (direct link) at this forum post that I made quite a while back.  Just rename the exe to two different files, one would be FE13bzone.exe and the other would be FE13bzone.edit.exe.  Since the fe 1.3's config file name is FE13bzone.cfg, that is what will be launched when those are run.  When .edit. is in the name then it runs the bz2 editor version instead.  Any command line parameters passed to it are also passed to BZ2, you just never need to pass the /config with that.
