[No Spam, Flames, or Off Topic posts!]

Since i'm far too lazy to write out all the stuff I know about BZ1/BZ2 Modding, I decided to make this thread for anyone who want's to ask questions about BZ1/BZ2 modding. If you want to know if it's possible, how to fix a bug, Etc, I'll try my best to answer it, or someone else might.

Catagories I specialize in:

-Odfs
-Shells
-Xsi's
-Maps
-Setups/Configuration
-General knowledge of how BZ2 works. (If your dreams are possible or not)

Note, I also know a fair deal about AIP/DLL, although some of the other modders are more experienced in such areas. Red Devil, GreenHeart, and Nielk1 for instance. Just because something isn't listed above, doesn't mean that I, or somebody else, can't answer it.

Rules:

1: Read all the previous questions to make sure yours hasn't already been asked.
2: Please keep your posts consolidated and orderly, and stay on topic.
3: Try not to overwhelm me, replies to your questions will be made quoting your question.
4: Again, No Spam, Flames, or Off Topic posts!

So,...Who's first?

where did everyone go??

I remember this forum being more active.

where is BSer, BZZerker, angelwing, kite, and all the others i knew?

When i think back, i remember alot of people that used to be here, and i realize it's about the same amount as the people who post here regularly now.

i uninstalled steam, and reinstalled it.

how do i get my saved games back? i have a file recovery program but i need to know WHERE they ARE.

help anyone?

Ever since a forced update to msn messenger about a month ago ? i have been unable to log in. It comes up with Windows Live Communications Platform "send" "dont send" error message, indicating it crashed. I think it's called dr winston debugger or some such, happens when a program inexpicebly explodes.

Well, that message pops up every time i hit "sign in". I've been unable to correct it by reinstalling msn messenger, reverting msn messenger, or by hitting my computer with a baseball bat.

So....any ideas?

new video? 

I'm going, if you're going too, feel free to txt me. 214-668-3282

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?

Yes, I'm asking a question about .cfgs ...somebody take a picture 

anyway, I need to know if there's a way to tie in a listbox to open another listbox depending on wich item in the list you click on. And in the 2nd list, u click on something and it brings up a XSI / DES files in respective fields.

Is there a good way to do this without creating dozens of buttons?

is this real? http://bay.reachme.at/

PS: Dragon needs a car.

anyone got any other ideas? Perferably under 1000 dollars...

AMD Athalon 64 2X Duel Core Processor 5200+ 2.71 Ghz, 2.00 gb RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT, 300GB HD.

Something about that just makes me druel...

My old pc's specs are:

AMD Athalon XP 1.25 Ghz, 512mb RAM, Radeon 9200 Atlantis, 40gb HD.

Got hit with something bad, has a rootkit, need to reinstall windows on it

any advice?

Hmmm

Well, I'm going to get around to making BZC's AIP's I guess...

Don't really know where to start...

Provide names, Should I use gineric provide names for the AIP to grab? Like tank, ltnk, rckt, hraz, figh, etc... not including any race letters, so it would be gineric? Or does it need to have av/sv/bv/rv infront?

Also im not sure how to setup some things, so I'll be posting more questions for the masses...

Needs Testing:

http://www.zemod.com/forum/index.php?board=10.0

Please test this.

When ever someone joins late, all the clients get kicked?

-- This only seems to occur with BZC Demo so far.

I decided to start a little thread where modders can share their most emberressing/biggest/worst bugs they've ever made.

I think I automatically win this one...with a Bug I accidnely introduced into BZC for the past year. I'm fairly sure I've fixed it just now, the 3rd time...

In 1.3, there is a chat lobby, much like BZ1's lobby. For BZC, I made this in the main multiplayer page and not hidden like in stock BZ2.

Basic Description of Bug: When Ever a player hit the "multiplayer" button, or was in the multiplayer screen and then left, all BZC games in progress would AV.

Yes. I made a bug that kills multiplayer for an entire game at the touch of one button.

So, who's next?

whoot been a while since I asked for help.

This is directed at...BS's Scriptor usage in single player.

I need a way for the scriptor to lock onto the following event:

Player opens console and types "game.cheat bzradar"

so I can promptly endgame upon that command

Or use the move command on the player at the highest number the dll will export with, without crashing.
