Mods Vs BZ2 Patch Version Required. Modders Please Tell Us Here.

Post by bornlibra23 »

Hi I am thinking of running mods on the newly released "Battlezone: Combat Commander" from GOG. Should I even try?

Mods will need updating for compatibility with BZCC. Maps will need to be repainted, mission scripts rewritten, and new files added to allow the mod to appear in the new mod menu.

Has further patch development been discontinued? I cant see the links on https://matesfamily.org/bz2/. Wasnt this the primary location for downloading patches? I am trying to download older patches for various mods.

Thanks I tried using that but patches just mess many mods & then I have to downgrade to a different patch. I was actually hoping to have table for the same Mod -> Patch. How about starting one?

Looks like mods were built for certain BZII snapshots. They work differently (if they even do) under the further BZII patches, except BZII Classic. Generally, if not supported by developers, mods get unplayable: unbalanced, buggy, crashing. No mod except BZII Classic work under 1.3.7.
