Do you have a different way people can contact you? Maybe by MSN or another chat program? The forums will take a long time for a response, and quick, specific feedback is necessary for this situation, I think.

I get the feeling a teamviewering might be necessary somewhere.

But then he would have to install that.

If someone can get a hold of this guy through chat, I think the problem will be solved rather quickly.

Try this maybe?

1. Install from cd to C:\BzII 1.3pb6.2
2. Download the 1.3pb6.2 patch
3. Extract the file to a temporary location, and open it
4. Click Change Directory, double click on C:\BzII 1.3pb6.2, click Ok, click Install
5. Follow the prompts until it is installed; you now have a 1.3pb6.2 BzII installation
6. Download the Forgotten Enemies Mod
7. Extract the contents to C:\BzII 1.3pb6.2
8. Delete the FE13_PB61_Addon and FE13_PB61_Maps folders from C:\BzII 1.3pb6.2
9. Download the Forgotten Enemies Patch
10. Extract the contents to C:\BzII 1.3pb6.2
11. Right click on C:\BzII 1.3pb6.2\bzone.exe and click Send to -> Desktop(Create shortcut)
12. Right click on the shortcut, and click Properties
13. Paste this into the target line:
"C:\BzII 1.3pb6.2\bzone.exe" /nointro /poweruser /config FE13.cfg
14. Rename the shortcut to BzII 1.3pb6.2 FE
15. Double click on shortcut to play

What Josiah said is correct. If you cannot install even after that, there is no hope and you should do something else with your time (blunt, but that is almost as basic as one can make it)

If you do succeed, note that there are known (and unknown :( ) issues with FE1.3 which can make playing much more difficult than it is meant to be at times or certain fun goodies like cineractives not display or display wrong. There isn't really anything game breaking though, but you may miss out on some story elements that worked in 1.2.

I think I got it down now, but we shall see. does anyone know how to make the instant action a challenge, cuz It's too easy. Like, allow the AI to send walkers, titans, make it aggressive, a legit battle, not just claim bio pools and send 3 attacks the whole game, even when on the hardest level.

AIPs are probably broken, FE1.3 is still a work in progress. Since it's just one guy doing it and nobody testing, it's likely to stay that way for quite a while.

But is the no place to download a patch that makes the enemy hard? Because on YouTube, someone was using 1.3, and they were using "recycler variant commando c" to make e enemy an actual challenge. Because my current ai only builds a small little outpost, sends scavengers to die, and only attack 3 times in all, and those attacks are maybe 3 bulldogs, or 3 mortar bikes, or 2 warriors, or three sentries, or two lancers, or one mauler, or three tanks....... IS THERE NO WAY RO MAKE THINGS FUN?

The version of FE you are playing is a test build; it's still being made. Welcome to your first look at development.

Recycler variants don't change how the AI works, they only change the units and buildings *you* can make. A wide range are included in 1.3, a range which likely includes Commando's C variant.

How do *you* go about making things fun? You have a number of options:
1) Play the 1.2 version instead of the 1.3 version.
2) Play the game, find bugs, tell Red Devil what you found.
3) Make mods yourself, like the rest of us modders do.
4) FE1.3 is in development; be patient and it will be finished.

Do a search and you can find that mod. Learn to do work on your own end rather than asking everyone to do all the thinking for you.

As far as I remember, Fleshstorm currently works only on earlier 1.3 versions. pb4a I believe is the latest. I am currently working on a patch to bring it back up to 1.3 proper, but I keep getting sidetracked by the goodies Lizard left behind. I'll pull myself together and release the damn patch when I can be bothered / when I have the time to sit and mod for a while.

Able to play the Commando FS on pb6. Runs smoothly and surely with only one fairly game breaking glitch on the level with Mechana (SCHPOILERS) with pathing. Turn cheats on to win at the end.
