*sheds a tear*

Thanks, guys! Now to install the new patch, and OP+

*scratches her head*

Was the vanishing base problem in later areas fixed? I don't see it listed...

I've tried anything and everything to try forcing it to produce a SB in advanced area, but it only produces BATS, then only BS, then doesn't produce ANY bases! Please tell me that was corrected...

Hmm... That's interesting...

I make one mod in my economy file, and click 'start campaign' on the new OP patch (patched from 2.5.0.0 to current), and it does a CTD every time.

All I changed was minimum bid factor... should that be killing my campaign?

Then I set it back to 6, and its still crashing to desktop after. No other modifications, than the date of change the economy.gf.

Hrm.

00000001



Maybe its just my current install. I reinstalled Win98SE again, after it was wiggy before. It started up right once, when I copied all the files in direct from 'originals', then crashed once again when I touched the slighest thing in economy.

If it isn't just me, that's bad for OP D2 servers everywhere...

*renames the backup folder for the originals to Singleplayer, and puts it up, naming the one with the only modified file PASTED BACK IN to the original (and it still crashed)*

Worked fine after doing that. Essentially, after ALL the ORIGINAL COPIED files, with modified listings in 2001... work.

Someone flog me. I thjink I found out what it is.

I set them all Archive again, and it worked just fine. rofl.  Is it really that picky about that flag?

*tries to remember her .gf modding*

For economy.gf, it should automatically produce a starbase if the chance to build is 1.00, right? Or is it inverted?

it's MORE LIKELY to be built when its close to Zero. Higher the number, LESS LIKELY to be built

Okay, yeah, I'm awake. Anyone having era problems in the new patch? I started a single player campaigni (one of the NW/firesoul mods) and couldn't get it out of Early era 'cept by saying 1 turn per year.

Wonder if its just my install...

OP Patch Status?

Any news at all?  I realize I'm being so very impatient, after all it's ONLY been a year+...some word on, like, APPROXIMATELY when we will be seeing something?

Short of this, how about releasing the ported EAW fixes as a separate patch?  Something is better than nothing.

Actually not quite a year yet still.  I believed the patch had been released sometime in early February last year but in checking the old forum announcements, it was actually Jan. 28.

That having been said, any news on what's going on with OP is way overdue.  Anyone who says your being impatient is out of line, imho.  OP people have been left in the dust since release, especially those who play D2.  These people deserve some answers, (real ones, not the traditional mouth service to appease for a bit but no help ever actually materializes) as well as some action.  Taldren should be thanking their lucky stars they have as many supporters as they still have, which is nowhere near the number they used to have back at SFC2 release.  You'd think they'd be tryin' to do anything they can to save them.  Silence usually means nothing's gonna happen anytime soon, so, Oh well.

The last I heard was that Articfire (of ye EAW D2 server fame) has been given the source code for OP and is (slowly) in the act of patching it.

He posted in the D2 forum looking for a bug list.  Here's his original (mid-november) post on the subject.  Haven't heard a word since...

Bump...back to the top where it belongs. Silence is NOT going to make this kind of thread go away. Darkmaster's question
deserves an answer. It's already known that the EAW fixes have been ported over. I have not seen one valid reason for not releasing a patch version for OP with these fixes. It seems in Articfire's last post that the patch will be delayed for months, bogged down with all the D2 fixes. Those who do not need D2 fixes should have access to a patch
 with just the EAW fixes.
