FYI, I seem to have figured out how to fix the Xbox 360 controller issue I was having. It appears that the controller wasn't being assigned "joystick1" by Windows when I hooked it up. My Logitech Extreme 3D was assigned joystick1. I downloaded a utility that allows you to slide the various...

Could always try BZ2's BZClassic mod, spock doesn't go there :) I didn't know about that. I did an internet search and found a couple of screenshots from it and it looks very similar to BZ1, but from what I saw, the tanks look a little different. Maybe next winter when I'm stuck indoors more, I'll ...

I suspect that it's something peculiar with my desktop setup, as the 360 works fine with my laptop and both are 64 bit Win 7 machines (ultimate on desktop and premium on laptop).

Exactly right. And because of his manipulation of the servers.dat file and version number of bz (he's running 1.5.1.17), he keeps any of his regular players from even seeing the other servers. The only way to get people in are to recruit new players who haven't loaded spock's version and start from ...

Rumor is that Bze only has one or two players online most times. As Spock monitors the IPs on the Anet server, it isn't worth losing access to his server to sit in the BzE lobby. Unfortunate when someone with a little bit of power abuses it, but there you have it. Come up with a way to keep Spock an...

Yes, I have the XBOX 360 controller selected in the joystick section. The green light is in the upper left quadrant. I don't know what you mean by "first controller slot". I also have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick connected, as well as an old Microsoft Strategic Commander hooked to th...

I hooked up an XBOX 360 controller to try it out with BZ 1.5 on my desktop PC and I keep getting an error when I try to launch a game. The error is "The input channel "USlider" on device "Joystick1" does not exist. If you have changed your joystick configuration, you should ...

FYI, I Google searched for Battlezone Maps recently and came across a site I hadn't hit before. I was specifically looking for the IO DM map. This map was very popular about 5+ years ago, but got lost in the shuffle during the conversion to BZ 1.5. I think I had installed it originally from one of t...

Thanks for the replies. Ken, yours worked and is just what I needed! Thanks again!

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro is not a good stick, after a short time it locks up during dogfights in Battlezone. Also the fire button is poorly designed (will make your finger hurt after a while), unlike the old sidewinder joystick. I don't have any trouble with that joystick from an ergonomics perspect...

Can anyone fill me in how to lock and unlock a BZ 1.5 game as host with a game in progress? I've seen it done but I can't figure out the command/key sequence to do it. It's occasionally necessary to keep a kicked player out. Thx

I use a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. It comes with software that you'll need to program for Battlezone, but it isn't very hard. Can program it for BZ in about 1/2 - 1 hr. Last time I checked, Best Buy had it for $34.99 (Logitech suggested retail price is $29.99). If you have a Microcenter store near you...
