Did 6.4 work for you or did you install both (6.4 & 6.4.z19) before you tried launching the game?

just open the zip and select all the files and folders, then select copy all, then open your bz2 install, then paste, replacing all.
if you have custom render*.cfg and tweaked Gameprefs.ini and Localprefs*.ini, you might want to make backups of them first.

I repuest odf which upgrades every unit! Not from you gsh. I would do it but i dont know how.
Its actually fairly simple, the odf below is ivtankdm.odf.
It has the classLabel = "ivtank", linking it to ivtank.odf
The odf must contain all the headers like [GameObjectClass] that the original does. The only other entries required are those for the things you wish to be different from ivtank.odf.
Code: Select all
[GameObjectClass]
classLabel = "ivtank"
maxHealth = 2500
aiAddHealth = 0
aiAddAmmo = 20
collisionRadius = 0.0
maxAmmo = 1500
unitName = "Sabre"
/////// PROVIDES ///////////////////
provideCount = 4
provideName2 = "ivtankdm"
provideName3 = "VIRTUAL_CLASS_TANK"
provideName4 = "DefendUnit"
////////////////////////////////////
/////// weapons ////////////////////
weaponMask = 00011
////////////////////////////////////
[CraftClass]
engageRange = 1200
[HoverCraftClass]
velocForward = 35
accelThrust = 20 //acceleration
accelJump = 20.0 //
alphaTrack = 10.0 //springs speed it rights itself
alphaDamp = 5.0 //shocks
omegaSpin = 5.0 //spinning in place speed
omegaTurn = 2.0 //turning while moving speed
[Lod1]
[Lod2]

that might be my test game up using another version or someone else has a different version than you are using.

You have to add everything under morphtank as those values dont inherit.
Iconname, infoname, and wireframename may not either.

one last intermittent bug I forgot to report, and think it may have been reported before, is that sometimes the enemy blast or laser is invisible without sound, yet damage registers without flash on hud. I'll be in a dogfight and think I haven't been hit, I look down and I'm deep red and try and hightail it outta there. It happened quite a few times in a stock z19 4v4 strat just now. Pings were good, all under 200.

i wonder if that's related to blink effects only being in lockstep now.

The file I linked to is an 'installer' version. You run it and then when it runs you pick which folder BZ2 is installed into and click 'next' and it will install the necessary files.
It works differently from the zip but the end result is the same as a correctly unpacked zip.

As a returning player (I want to relive the campaign!) I am unhappy to see, well, basically that all tracked vehicles (scavengers, Bulldogs...) are either bumping into buildings and other tanks, or their bodies get stuck one inside another and they simply float until they get outside one another.
And they really like to climb things alot...
Short story - vehicles/buildings are like hollow sponges instead of solid objects. Just my 2ยข.
