AOTK2 Beta Stuff
« on: July 11, 2005, 07:47:23 pm »
for now, all the missions are from the ED Corepack.   Odds are you already have these installed

http://www3.telus.net/NuclearWessels/sfc/downloads/NW_OPMissions.exe

Install OP+ 4 first if you have not done so

Below is the Mod.    This is BETA and will likely not be the final installer.   Run this installer and then run the "Enable AOTK" Shortcut that appears on your Desktop

http://69.115.118.23:9000/images/aotk2_beta.msi

Everyone remember, this is still BETA and will change so if you are bandwidth impaired, download with Care.

Just a quick heads up. If you, like me, do not install OP to the default install directory, when you get done installing the AOTK2 mod, you will have to move the .bat files to the correct OP directory. DH is being a bastard (as usual :P ) and refuses to make a minor alteration to his installer that drops the batch files the same place you told the installer to drop the mod directory.

First, read the install instructions for the mod. Second, read my post about non-standard OP install locations if you don't use the steck install location for OP.

Besides, the standard install etc does not include the fighter and shiplist .txt files.  All I ask, if you cannot post the ones I need, then at least post the actual size of the files so that I may install the correct one without trying each and every individual one I can find through trial and error.  THX.

BTW, I did try all the combinations I can find of fighter and shiplist .txt files I can find, and none fixed it.

See if there's a directory called DH123 anywhere. Should (maybe possibly) have the shiplist and fighterlist in it.
It *should * be a subdirectory of wherever you told the installer to install.

I also miss the days of "here's the ship & fighterlist, put them where they go"

Although- and I don't say this because DH has threatened to remove the L-BCV- he is doing one super job at this stuff.

I'm not sure if you wrote this for Windows XP or what, but when I try to run this installer, I get the message, "This installation package cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service.  You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer service."

The machine I am trying to run it on uses WIN98SE, and I have all the windows updates installed.  I just came back from microsoft.com where I made sure I had all the latest updates.

Do you have just the files I need, without the installer?  I could easily install them all manually.

So *I* ask for the files and get told to figure it out
Scippy asks and it's like it can't be provided soon enough
*and* he gets an apology.

Fine

We'l just see who's laughing at the end.

I had to find the DH123 file and manually copy and paste the ship and fighter lists in order to get on the server also.

Easiest thing to do with a DH written installer is simply say
"What's the most bonehead thing he could do?" then go figure it out.
Now if *I* had written the installer ...

Pfff installers are for the weak.

Ya just take the mission /shiplist/fighterlist files and keep throwing them in directories
until the server lets you play.


Plus that way no one can make your ships turn pink.

Thanks, DH.  And it's not a problem at all.  I guess it's just another nudge for me to update my OS.
