Battlezone in other games?

[General BlackDragon]

BTW: GSH, i have a question:

Why is it, after I installed Star Trek: Armada 2, in the "misc" folder, there is: misn18.des

wich reads:

You will lead a small force behind enemy lines to destroy the Furies launch pad.  You will only have a limited amount of time to hit your target and then you must return to the dust off site before the moon explodes.

MISSION OBJECTIVES
- Destroy the Fury launch pad.


as well as moon.act, moon.alb, moon.lum,  moon.tbl, and sprite8.stb, spritea.stb ? wich i believe are also BZ1 related.

How did these end up in Star Trek Armada II?

[GSH]

Probably leftovers in the asset tree, or installer errors. I knew the guy who did the installer for BZ2, others; might have been swamped with work that week. Our release candidate builds were compiled at odd hours, and they needed a CD built ASAP.

Were you one of the people that actually made Battlezone 2? Or was that someone else...

[General BlackDragon]

yes he helped program BZ2

@Sabre:  GSH is one of the original developers for both Battlezone games.

@GBD:  That's awesome.  Battlezone is forever.

I thought Ken was both and GSH only #2

[GSH]

Correct. Ken, Brad, and some others worked on both Battlezone 1 & 2. I've only touched BZ2.

[VSMIT]

My mistake then.  I knew that Ken worked on both, but I thought that GSH did, also.

i also found in some of the weapon odfs for A2:

//Should not be used
wpnReticle = "gblast"

In Dark Reign II's data archive there is the ISDF bomber's skin hanging around in one of the texture folders.

I got a BZ1 manual on the second disk of my copy of Heavy Gear 2, along with its manual.

That is what happens when developers get idiots to package their work.
