P1.3B4a Tranformation mission problem

[Harold Meneley]

So I download 1.3PB4a. I play single missions and get to the Transformation mission by following Commander with the tug and power source. I set up base and escort hauler to the drop point, I watch it take off. That is when I get a debug error message and it locks up BZ2. Exit the program and I can't get to the next mission. I run Linux, with no problems before. I ran PB1.3v3 without sound and it worked great with the new Wine 1.1.0.
I am using dbghelp.dll as suggested by Wine AppDB. All other versions of BZ2 ran with only minor errors, but worked.
I can't see the error message from the debug window.
  Any suggestions?

GSH (or was it Ken?) stated that we was not going to even attempt to bother fixing the Single Player up for PB4a. Just play it in PB3, still works there.

im fairly sure GSH wanted all the original features of the game to work properly... maybe it was Ken

So, is there a way to work around this (edit some file) or am I going to have multiple versions of BZ just to experiment with.
I really like to redo the missions and seeing how other choices work, like Mortar Bikes vs Sabres.

The mission crashes at the end, right?

Sounds like a problem caused by updating the DLL source...   maybe something as simple as GSH recompiling the mission will fix things?

I like that mission, especially now that two Soviet Soldiers don't spawn in place of Scions  (used to be an assets issue with BZC...).

1.3pb4a SP has a million billion trillion glitches in it cause everything broke like the nuke bomb clock is wat i think

If your still playing at this time in bz2s history, Most likely you have already played it.

And like they said, it works fine in 1.3 PB3, and really, if you use all the mods, PB3 is a must.

Glad I found this. I'm having the same problem. Guess it's roll back to the previous patch.

I gotta say, I've had so much fun playing this. It seems quite a bit more difficult than I remember -- I gather this is from more intelligent AI? The mission prior to this the scions attack me with Maulers & Titans almost immediately. I don't remember that happening before.

The AI hooked up with Skynet, so it's only a matter of time now...

Don't roll back, get another install. I myself have an install of 1.0 from the CD I copy and rename to things like "Battlezone II 1_3pb4a" and then patch them and make the appropriate shortcuts.
