GW4 Beta stuff
« on: November 05, 2004, 10:35:48 am »
WARNING:   This is still in BETA.  Download at your own risk and be warned, you may have to do this again later.   A real installer will be made before kick-off.

INSTALL OP+ 3.4 first!!!!!! Rember to back everything up

Unzip this to C:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\Assets\Models. Folder should be named "tholian"

http://69.115.120.11:9000/images/Tholians.zip

Here is the shiplist, fighterlist, model.size file, and a Batch file that will create the Models folders for the Federation and Klingons PFs.

http://69.115.120.11:9000/images/gw4.zip

If you OP installation is not standard, the Batch file will not work. Extract this zip file to the Assets\Models directory.

http://69.115.120.11:9000/images/Models.zip

Missions:  Unzip this belwo zip file to C:\Program Files\Taldren Software Inc\Starfleet Command Orion Pirates\Assets\Scripts

http://69.115.120.11:9000/images/GW4_Missions.zip

You may notice the Spare Parts are lower than last time.   Let us know if they are TOO low.   Most of the heinous AI misison have been removed amd IMHO, 10 spares for a CL/CA in a PvP fight is a balanced number.

Skirmish in Net space (where I had been drawing Klingon AI), I got both Klingon emeney AI and a Klingon helper. Who said KCW was dead?

BTW, in a straight Patrol I got a Fed helper.

T-NVL can't buy fighters, and starts missions with both of it's Dizzie hardpoints destroyed and unrepairable, guessing a shiplist issue.

Well, downloaded the Tholian file and shiplist with NP, but when I click on the link for the missions, the page never opens, I stare at a white screen...let it sit for over 10 min with no change. Mutiple attempts got same result... :-\
It that the same mission pack you sent me via MSN, Kroma?

*edit* well, tried one last time after posting and it loaded after a couple minutes, finally...

It is the same link yes, but I am unsure whether or not DH updated the pack since.

The download is working for me right now though.

That's fricking weird, continue to point out what's broken so I can fix it.

Downloaded and installed files - shiplist batch file did not work for me (dyna kept saying I was missing file), so I put it in manually.

Signed up as Rom, went to border on Tholian side.  Took patrol.  Mission loaded, showed "mission complete" immediately, while still showing "waiting for other players" (I was the only one on the server at the time).  Waited several minutes then Alt-F4.  No problems since.

Well, first thing noticed, Klingons and Romulan show as "mortal enemies" instead of being allied...
Drew a Base assault mission in open enemy hex (just once, but shouldn't have at all, no base or planet anywhere around it)

EDIT:   Yup, I screwed up the Tentions.   it will be fixed on the next reboot.

Tommorow I will reset the DB to 2273.   Cna you guys let me know if the missions are too hard or too easy?

Mandatory Enemy Sweep Patrol dumped me back to desktop upon accepting it.

I had 3 or 4 missions dump me as well as soon as I locked onto the enemy ship. Each time, I couldn't see the model. Realized that each time it was a Tholian ship so I checked and discovered no model folder named Thoilian. Unzipped it again to the model folder and the problems went away. Might check yours for the same.

If on broadband, download the missions again . .  . http://69.115.120.11:9000/images/GW4_Missions.zip

If on a "bandwidth restricted diet"  re-copy the mission the the scripts folder.  http://69.115.120.11:9000/images/Kar_ePatrol.scr

Ah yes, Romulans.  Just as trustworthy as ever.  You've got to love consistency.
