Hey....im having some problems with 1.3 i'll tell you what my situation is. i installed reg battlezone 2 and then i got 1.2 and then i got the fe full install and then i got starfleet and then got mod manager 5. i tried installing 1.3 and it said installed sucesfully but then when i went into regular battlezone it worked and then i went into fe and it cut out. i didnt try starfleet. So i uninstaled 1.3, fe and starfleet and modmanager and started over. so i got fe.starfleet,modmanager5, and installed 1.2 again. now when i went into mod manger i said 1.3 was there and when i went to an instant it had all of the 1.3 maps but i couldnt get in thme or anything. it also didnt have the race pick and all. so i tried gettin 1.3 again and installing it but when i tried to install it it said uhoh there was a problem or something and it recommended that i uninstall battlezone and remove everything in the directory and try aginan. what should i do? should i uninstall everything and start from scratch? or should i do that and download and install certain tings in certain order or what? please help!
also i am running under xp home edition and i when i try to go to multi it just sits at scanning for sessions and the the norton risk window pops up and i have tog et out and permit it to use the internet and when i go back in it just wont work. is there some way and can fix this and play in multi?\
please read what the message tell you when you install. FE and almost all other mods are not compatable with 1.3 it is not recommanded you install both at the same time.
Patches are being made for them, and a new SF is coming out later on, it will contain many new features.
ok thx guys so i will just stick with 1.2 for now until the patches come out for fe. i guess i cant play battlezone with 1.3 and fe with 1.2 at the same time. now if sf isnt compatible with 1.3 and only with 1.2 does that mean when 0.8 comes out and the patch for fe is out mean that i install 1.3 and then the patch for fe and then 0.8 after that?
You just need to create a different directory to install your 1.3 version of bzii to, which is what the installer suggests when you start it up.
ok so if i still want to run fe and sf but want 1.3 in regular battlezone 2 what directory should i install the 1.3 to so it doesnt affect fe or sf
and also i had to reinstall bz2 and all of my missions were erased and im redoing them now but i dont want to have to go through them all. The cheat for skipping a mission i believe after you hit "ctrl ~" is simply just "ai.winmission" i tried that like 5 times and it didnt do anything. what should i do?
Just create your own directory for the bz1.3 install. When it shows the regular default directory,click on browse and tyoe in another title. i.e. BZII_1.3 or some such.
The cheat for winning missions is game.cheat bzwinner
It would probably be best if you didn't use a "." in the file path. I believe both myself and GreenHeart had problems while saving maps with that in the path. Not really sure how the game itself would react.
With 1.3, that "." in the path/filename bug has been fixed.
Thx for pointing that out OM. I've had no issues yet with naming it like I had posted,but it's nice to know the bug was fixed.
so when i download it again i should just creat a new file in the battlezone folder and it just be something like "bz21.3" or something and all the features of 1.3 will be in bz2 and wont affect fe and sf still running on 1.2?
Nah, you prolly want to install ver 1.3 into a different Battlezone II install. FE wont work because some of its shell files dont play well with the 1.3 files.
I think the FE team will be working on a patch for this when 1.3 is final.
No. As ZA pointed out ,create a whole new folder- I think the default it will show is programfiles>battlezone II. Change that to programfiles>BZII or some such. Then you'll end up with two battlezone files and two shortcuts. I think another location will be asked for, remember to direct it to your new folder.
so now that i have bz2 installed in program files/battlezone 2----i need to install it again into program files/bz2 or something and then install the 1.3 to that 1?
Exactly
ok what i did was i put the cd in and i clicked on reinstall so i figure i would just reinstall it to that new folder and it closed and dint do anything. Do i have to uninstall it from the origanal folder its in now and clear that folder and then install it to program files/ bz2 and install 1.3 there and then install it again to the origanal directory? or is it something else like can i copy everything from the battlexone folder into the new folder i created
and now that 1.3 is out when is epic coming out and when is starfleets 0.8 comin out
Doesnt work, eh? Maybe the CD is scratched.
OK, here is the quick and dirty way to make another BZ2 install.
- Make a copy of your Battlezone II folder
- Rename the copy to Version1.3 or bz2, or whatever you want.
- Then install 1.3 into the new BZ2 install you made.
Quoteand now that 1.3 is out when is epic coming out and when is starfleets 0.8 comin out
When they're done. News is that both MODs are waiting for this patch to become final before they are released, so you will have to be waiting awhile.
Can't speak for SF but Epic is coming out when its ready. Now that 1.3 is done I at least know what it is that I am developing for - it doesn't mean that it is automatically finished. Patience Grasshopper.
ok what i did was a made a new folder and named it bz2 and then i copied all of the files in my battlezone folder to that 1 and i tried to install 1.3 to that directory and 1.3 said i had to install the patch into the directory i installed that game to. so i installed 1.3 to the orianal girectory thinkign that i would just install fe and sf to the new folder i mad. after i installed the 1.3 to the orianal folder it opened it and it worked and all but then i tried to open the game in the new folder i mad by clicking the bzone icin and all and it said that it could not open because of some dll file missing.
im thinking i might just have to scratch the 1.3 idea and stick with 1.2 and put my mods there and wait for the patches to come out before i try to put 1.3 in
It's a little confusing night walker,but not that bad. BTW, it tells you NOT to install over the 1.2 patch, I believe.
For me, the reinstall function worked, having 1.2 in already. I just changed it's default directory install and later applied the patch.
i decided to not install the 1.3 for now and wait for starfleets 0.8 that is compatible and wait for fe's patch to make it compatible before i install it again. But i have 1 more ?. I used to have a mod....but i cant remember what the name of it was.....but i played it alot at a map called "rat chill" and it was very challenging game. i dont think it was very big but i do know that i got it at its own website i believe. Has any 1 heard of it?
i have no clue what your talking about but a bit forsaken mod was Evil empire... never played it but it might that...
no clue where to get it.. although with the mod name u might find it easily
Haven't played it either......BUT, you can get ithere (http://www.bzscrap.com/downloads/Mods/) along with practically every other mod.
Nightwalker is talking about Rattler's own MODAI
instant action maps which were hosted on his own
website.
They made great use of stock units with modified
AIPlans.
Another good map in the series was Dunes-swapped-start.
Excellent work, bit like G66 without the new units or dlls.
yes that is it....does any know where i can get it because i dont believe bzscrap has it
have u tried www.bz2md.com ?
