Release Candidate 14 (2011-11-12)

Post by Ultraken »

It seems I've fallen back into the old once-a-week schedule... :|


Downloads:

Testing Executable and Symbols
Game Assets (updated 2011-10-13)


What's New

* Increased size of SeismicWave height offset buffer to fix a memory overwrite
- This may fix some random crashes
- I'm surprised the memory checker didn't catch it...

* Pathing system allows off-map paths like 1.4
- This fixes several Instant Action maps that rely on 1.4 behavior

* Fixed ally/unally staying visible after entering invalid input

* Pilots use a new "glide" task to reach empty vehicles close to the Barracks
- They use a course-correcting approach very similar to airborne PowerUps
- They returns to normal "goto" behavior on leaving the building footprint
- TO DO: clean this up a bit

I downloaded the newest patch and I was sure to get absolutely every file for the patch.

List of files I downloaded and installed:

anet2_vc2008.7z
bzint_2011-11-12.7z
bzone_addon_2011-10-13.7z
bzone16l.7z
dxwebsetup.exe
input.map
label_2011-09-01.7z
net.ini
render.cfg
servers.7z
vcredist_x86.exe
xbox.std

And I did Extract/Install all these files properly.

I also did this step which fixed all the animation movies in the menu
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32]
"vidc.iv31"="ir32_32.dll"
"vidc.iv32"="ir32_32.dll"
"vidc.iv41"="ir41_32.dll"
"vidc.iv50"="ir50_32.dll"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My in game result, however, was worse than it was before:

At least with my previous installation, everything had textures and I could walk around without thousands of errors popping up.

Am I missing something?
Please help!

I should have documented this better but 1.5 requires the official 1.4 patch and large asset pack. The bzone16l.7z I supplied only contains a replacement for the broken bzone16l.zix, not the bzhw16l.zfs that contains all the textures. The proper version is about 3.4MB as opposed to the 4KB placeholder that comes with the retail install. Without it, the game will throw a bunch of warnings about missing textures.

It finally works!

Many thanks for all your help everyone, I can now finally play BZ1 again! :D

Please be sure to include the information about what you said about the 1.4 patch and large asset pack in your future updates to help out the newbies in this patching process. ;)

I did update the common files topic with that as the first prerequisite.

Once 1.5 is done, I'll consolidate everything into a single installer so this problem won't come up again.

for some reason there are green or red squares above buldings that are on the map at start, like in the picture below.

That normally occures when the flag is the wrong size.

That's the "no flag" flag. Those buildings are on a team but don't actually belong to any player.
