The real world for the mods

Post by Progressor »

I am sorry for disturbing this ghost club, but I need to go deep to the past. Does anybody have a working configuration of the FE, QF and Uler mods? They "work" under 1.3.6 but some missions are broken, some unbalanced, some hang up the game when restoring a saved file. Searching bzscrap does not help. Maybe somebody has an old dusty HDD with an archive?

The original version of Uler was designed for 1.2 but should function more or less the same on 1.3pb3.
The best-working versions of FE are for 1.2, followed by 1.3pb3.
QF was designed for 1.3pb4a but should function mostly fine on PB5 if the DXTBZ2 fix is applied.

I keep a 1.2 installation around only for FE. Works perfectly fine except for the screen resolution being bad

Is there any chance to get an FE 1.2 installation files? The bzscrap.org has 1.3 files only. All my experiments fail, a few SP missions are unplayable (Into the fire, Two-minute warning, The other side, Rebuilding the Ark, The biometal meltdown)?

FE 1.2 files can be found in the /BZ2CP folder.

Thanks. Another stupid question: What should I do to install the BZII 1.2 patch? Is /downloads/Patches/Battlezone%20II/BZ2v1.2b/ the right place?

If you're running multiple copies of BZ2 you'd be best using the zip version; extract its contents into a fresh installation of BZ2.
