I find it unlikely Zax posted a pirate link, though, sometimes ppl make gaffes.

I don't follow, unless you think FE was an official expansion. It isn't.

i didn't finish working on IA in FE, so it is likely to crash. heck, if i recall correctly, there never was any IA in FE before i started tinkering with it. i focused on working on multiplayer, since that was where the bulk of the problems lay, then i got distracted for a few years with G66 (which was very educational and, therefore, worth it). lately, i have worked on getting SkyWars working in 1.3 and then tweaking some SP missions.

time to get back to FE, i reckon, then take what i have learned from working on FE and G66 and apply it to Epic. :geek:

There was - FE3way and FEVariety maps.

And dear God will you please try to keep these updates true to the originals?

Didn't think I did either. Still waiting on a response though but won't push the issue

@RD

When doing EPIC, make sure to share all source with me, so I can compile it/bug fix it/make sure everything works before I build it into an installer and release it to public.

Thank you.

I hope that wasn't sarcasm.

Don't forget, those MPI updates are the only thing I'm waiting on to put out a version of Epic for PB6.2

I did it all, I extracted the files, and now instant action crashes. The game hasn't charged at all

Did you make a shortcut as instructed here:

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=53


Right click on your Desktop shortcut, select Copy. Then right click on some empty space in your desktop and click Paste.

Right click the new shortcut, select Properties.

In the target line, after the last ", add: /config FE13.cfg

So, it should look something like this, but your install path may be different:

"C:\Program Files\Battlezone II\bzone.exe" /config FE13.cfg

Then click apply, and/or okay. Then launch the shortcut to launch FE.

This is the first patch I'm ever getting. I've moved the files, instant action crashes, and there is no noticeable difference. I have a game where when I build buildings, no outline appears, just a green square, and when building units it's a blue ball that grows
