Battlezone II 1.3pb4a released

[TheJamsh]

there are more ways to customize missiles now, ive been striving to get to fix it up a little using them, but its been difficult.

[Red Devil]

The collision avoidance is the best improvement.  I made some missiles we tested in DM that followed you all through Loot, in between all the buildings.

Submaximal is not new to the community.  He has used some other alias's in the past so I know who he is and if I had to guess, he is most likely using the english version of bz2.

[Ac/dc]

finally get to try it now that im unbanned, or now that i realised theres a mirror on bzscrp >_<

[Commando]

Why were you banned?  You host a 1.3 sucks server and pissed someone off?

kehehe

[General BlackDragon]

Some reason, I don't really want to know...

[BZSubmaximal]

Fairly Mundane Specs, Intel  Dual core, Nvida 8600 GT card, 3 gigs ram XP home...The f8 to desktop does not appear directly BZ related....It happened to other  games I played as well.

I'll try disab;ling the bump mapping.

And yeah..I was around here a bit..as wargod...amongst other names..

I was a bit younger then...

[TheJamsh]

hardly mundane specs...

[Steeveeo]

hardly mundane specs...

In this day in age...yeah, they are going down the scope of quality.

Also, which Intel Dual core? Theres about 6-12 different kinds (dont care to count).

[BZSubmaximal]

You're right..its actually the 1st generation core 2 duo..still..hardly cutting edge...But if you recall the 1st comp I ran BZ 2 on was a p3 1 gig w/ a Nvida 4400  card?...I think Acne Vulgaris was just "Bad Acne" back then...ahh..the days of middle aged youth...

Here is a weird one.

A clean install of Battlezone 2 then patched with 1.3pb4a.

When I launch a single or multiplayer game I just get a low-res black screen with a white cursor. I have tried different graphic settings, lower res, turning off sky detail, bumpmapping etc but I always get the same result.

If I launch instant action everything works perfectly with settings maxed out at 1680 x 1050 which leads me to believe this isn't actually a video problem. I have a dual core AMD 5200+ and a Nvidia 8600 GT craphics card and I'm using XP.  Other games run without any problems.

It did spit out this error.

I love this game and really want it to work. Thanks.

That crash is in the audio code. No idea offhand why, sorry.

You'll just have to stick with it for a while... I can never really get into MP anyway. Tried an MPI with TwoSheds once, server went down right after I joined.
