[SOLVED] ZTV Issue: Can't Launch

Post by bornlibra23 »

BZ2 v1.3.6.4w & v1.3.6.4z15
Installed: http://www.bzscrap.org/downloads/Mods/Z ... PB6_v3.zip & https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/987 ... r_1364w.7z
Shortcut: "D:\Installed\Battlezone II 1.3.6.4z15 PB\bzone.exe" /config ZTV.cfg
Unfortunately I can't run ZTV
I don't know what kind of mod ZTV is so I tried every type of game.
Single player doesn't work. I can't see any units in the build tree.
Multigame types also don't work.
Instant:

Multiplayer:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6us8R ... sp=sharing
Any idea how to get the game running? I admit that I am running it on 1.3.6.4z15 while the cfg patch file suggests 1.3.6.4w. I am trying to check if the mod is compatible.

Don't post ZTV issues in 3 different topics.

ZTV adds "ZTV:" map types to the multiplayer map list. Host a multiplayer game, look for ZTV maps (should be near the bottom since the list is alphabetically sorted). If they're not there then the mod was installed or launched wrong.

I suspect you have a custom BZ2 .cfg file that excludes 1.3.6.4's addon\dxtex folder or any mod(s) you have instealled contain an outdated copy of the BZ2 legal screen .dxztbz2 files. I frown on mods that attempt to modify/replace/remove those screens.

ZTV13 doesn't do that.

also, doesn't have Singleplayer or IA maps, but is all Multiplayer.

To play ZTV13, start a MP game and the list of maps will be listed.

Thanks but I can't seem to start a multiplayer session. I will try again & I just hope that I can have bots in it. Should I only try 1.3.6.4w or can I try higher?

the installer adds shortcuts under the Battlezone II folder in the windows start menu, so be sure to use that to launch. i just tried it and it works fine.

when you start a mutiplayer game, you will see maps for ZST (strat and DM), the ZTV maps, and ZX maps.

in the future, i will be adding the Icarus maps/mod to ZTV13, too.

Thanks it all works. Now if I could just figure out the backstory & how to play it.
