wow 2 days with no posts.
I would have thought I get at least one by now even if it was a I don't know.
I am looking for a command line to add to the end of a bzone.exe Shortcut so that it will save data in the root folder in stead of were ever the heck it saves to now.
this is once agen on a vista computer.
and this is one of the things I need to test if its the porblem or not.

That info is in the readme13.rtf file, included with your BZ2 install.

And, it is NOT recommended to do that. On Vista/Win7, look for the changed files under $MyDocs/My Games/Battlezone II/ . That's the right way to do things. Putting files in the same directory as bzone.exe will usually cause *more* problems on Vista/Win7. Sorry, but $MyDocs is the way to go these days.

I still will try adding it and see if that fixs things if it dose I cut out the rebuild plan and move to final tests and such.
I am working on a Rec Verent near the MP stage problem is so far a BA mess between a vista and a windows XP computer I have on hand.
I am Hoping that this will make both save in the same place and couse less problems.

Bad assets are usually caused by files being different on the respective machines in MP. Note that your .msh files count in that. You should be making sure you copy the .msh files to the destination machine, and not the .xsi files. That's how 1.3 has done it for many 1.3pb# builds -- the .msh files go to end users; the .xsi files are separated off and only go to those terminally interested. If the .msh file is older than the .xsi, it'll force rebuild it, which might end up with slightly different results on different machines. If there's no .xsi, then the .msh never needs rebuilding.
