Re: Clearing out old Tech - Computers & Stuff (FREE!)

None of the stuff is mine so I could could less about the contents. A few of them I reinstalled either 95 or 98 on them. I will not destroy working computers. I know a few ebay sellers that can get $300 for retro computers. But they are pristine and often built with new but vintage parts. Some peopl...

Clearing out old Tech - Computers & Stuff (FREE!)

I have too much stuff. It's been fun messing around with the hardware I've horded over the years but I have to let some of it go. I'm doing different things these days so it's time to pass this stuff on to anyone who is interested. Most of this stuff was bought for a few bucks or given to me. The on...

UEP - Problems

The Unofficial Expansion Pack used to work fine for me. Today no matter what setting I try I cannot get any new units to appear in multiplayer. BZ also complains about how mods need to be placed in the proper format and checked to be compatible with 1.6.4? In game it complains of missing assets but ...

Re: We Love Battlzone 2 - But how to improve it?

This thread certainly headed in a direction I wasn't expecting. I will say that is one reason I don't often play online games with strangers (with the exception of Battlezone) is because gamers today are obnoxious idiots with borderline sociopath disorders. It took a fair but of technical knowledge ...

Re: 1.3.6.4 - Strange Display Issue

It takes awhile to configure these CRTs using the naviset utility so I'm hesitant to mess with it. I always run Battlezone in the same resolution as my desktop which is why I am so confused as to why I have this issue with 1.3.6.4 and not the previous version. I'm afraid if I change the horizontal p...

Re: How many texture files can a ship have?

Scaling down large textures doesn't always have best effect because you lose a lot of information when shrinking down the image. I do this a lot myself so I understand what you're getting at but designing good low resolutions textures at 512x512 or less is becoming a lost art in anything but the ind...

Re: 1.3.6.4 - Strange Display Issue

No one?

I've messed with every setting I can possibly think of. Time for a complete reinstall of Battlezone II. I will test the game before each patch is applied and or mod is installed.

Re: We Love Battlzone 2 - But how to improve it?

The idea of a spherical height map is to simulate a planet not a ring world. A ring world would have edges that would be impassible. In the lore of my game the earth has a artificial satellite (ring if you want to call it that) around the entire planet to help sustain the atmosphere and assemble sta...

Re: 1.3.6.4z2 - OPEN BETA & TESTING

Please don't cut out the 1.2 style physics. I loved the high flying ability of the original Thunderbolt. Leave it as an option because I was playing a game last night at everyone I played with liked the older Thunderbolt even if its only used occasionally.

1.3.6.4 - Strange Display Issue

I finally decided to update Battlezone on my gaming rig but now I have a problem. I’m experiencing a very unusual display issue with 1.3.6.4 that I didn’t with 1.3.6.2. I made a backup of my Battlezone 2 folder before copying over the newer version with mods such as UEP and VSR. I have no issues mov...

Re: WinRAR

7zip is very good but I've never used it for archiving. Also I have had some problems with opening certain rar files with 7zip. Winrar did the job when 7zip failed me so I like both? :)

Re: We Love Battlzone 2 - But how to improve it?

Sadly I never got into BZ modding back when it was more popular. I had no idea how to use any tools other than mspaint and I could barely wrap my head around even the map editor. Battlezone II is one of my 10 favorite games of all time that left a lasting impression on me. I was only 13 when it came...

Re: How many texture files can a ship have?

Yeah my monitors are like 70 pounds each so I don't move them often. The extra heat they put out keeps my room nice and warm so its economical since the heat isn't going to waste. I'm all for giving up these relics if I can find a affordable LCD that gives me the same feeling. What made me switch ba...

We Love Battlzone 2 - But how to improve it?

Obviously we all love Battlzone 1&2 which is why were are still here. What are some things you think could be improved upon? What are some things you wish carried over from BZ1 into BZ2 and vice versa? It is important to me to get feedback from fans of the FPS/RTS genre because I want to create ...

Re: How many texture files can a ship have?

My 22inch NEC Multisync CRT monitors have been doing 2048x1536 at 86hz since 2002. When will LCD's ever catch up far as resolution and quality? The super bright mode puts most LCD's to shame especially during gaming. I refuse to invest in anymore LCD technology except for the few I own until FED &am...
