Topic: How Do You Uninstall AOTK3? (Read 10791 times)

Alphageek · « **on:** July 02, 2007, 08:21:25 pm »

Just wondering how I restore my game to normal.

FPF-DieHard · « **Reply #1 on:** July 02, 2007, 08:24:29 pm »

Safest way is to re-install OP+ 4.0. My installer package sucks unfortunately.

KBFLordKrueg · « **Reply #2 on:** July 02, 2007, 08:33:09 pm »

What you'll have to do is first UNINSTALL OP+4.0, run the uninstaller, then run the OP+4.0 installer again to wipe ATOK.

Will that work for removing the mission scripts though?

Why do you want to remove the mission scripts?

Alphageek · « **Reply #5 on:** July 03, 2007, 02:21:55 am »

Ok. I uninstalled OP 4.0 and reinstalled it, which only took half an hour. Now, when I click on "Start New Campaign" under the Single Player section, the game immediately crashes to the desktop.

DH - I think I've got a working installer/uninstaller format for NSIS (didn't figure it out in time for AOTK, sorry)

It's not pretty, but it's functional, here's the source:

No, but I don't like keeping so many mod specific things around unless I can help it. Guess I'm gonna have to reinstall OP from scratch again.

Since I have so many custom models in my OP+ folder, I definetly do not want to uninstall OP+, so here's what I do.

I go to my specs folder and delete the shiplist and fighterlist. I then go to the OP+ folder and highlight and click copy on the backup copies of the OP+ shiplist and fighterlist that is included when you first install it. I then go back to the specs folder and paste them right in there, and within 1 minute, I'm done

Oh, and on a side note, don't forget to occasionally clear out the "weapons damage" text file in the main SFC folder. It just grows and grows and can easily get into the MB's in size. Just open the text file, choose "select all" and then delete.

It's just files, no registry or System DLLs or anything like that.

All of this pretty much boils down to "Uninstall OP, then reinstall from scratch."

Jeez.

Doesn't matter. I like to make sure anything related to a specific campaign mod is removed when the camp is over. I'm neurotic like that. :-p

KBFLordKrueg · « **Reply #18 on:** July 05, 2007, 03:08:04 pm »

To play on the Forge I simply ran the uninstaller for OP+4.0 , ran the installer, then ran the Forge scripts pack and logged on, no issues.

yes

Then I definitely won't be bothering with it again. And I most definitely will not be playing anymore servers that don't come with a good uninstaller. Good server, Die Hard, but thanks for permamently FUBARing my game.

ahh, nothing is so permament, that a good reinstall can't fix. I do have a save of all game files in another location so a quick copy might fix it for me.

Was good advice I read if you have drive space. Copy your whole OP directory to a back up. Thus a basic reset is nothing but a copy away.

marstone · « **Reply #21 on:** July 05, 2007, 06:20:10 pm »

But also note. A good uninstaller would be awesome to have. (or if ever we get the code to OP, directories for different servers would be great, but that is a dream)

Dfly · « **Reply #22 on:** July 05, 2007, 06:25:06 pm »

I simply replaced my shiplist.txt and my fighterlist.txt and the game works fine. If needed you can also replace the models.siz so there is no models issues.

Call me lazy, but I just can't be bothered to spend an hour to an hour and a half reinstalling a video game.

Ok, I uninstalled everything, did a restart, then reinstalled everything from the ground up. The result: as soon as I click on "Start New Game" in the Single Player section the game crashes straight to desktop. Every single time. Nothing else about my computer has changed from before except the AOTK3 files. What's going wrong here?

when you unistalled everything, did you also go in and delete the directories out to remove anything that wasn't already removed (there is usually stuff left over)?

Directories? I have no clue. I did the uninstall for OP and OP 4.0+, deleted the elements left behind, and reinstalled.

Dizzy · « **Reply #27 on:** July 06, 2007, 05:46:12 am »

U guys are crazy! The only thing that needs to be swapped between campaigns is the shiplist and a new script D/L. The scripts are overwritten constantly. Just leave everything alone and do the shiplist and script changes.

Well, this is clearly not true. I replaced the ship and fighter lists, and still crashed to desktop. Then I did a completely fresh install of the game and the Enhancement Package, and I have EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM. So, thanks to this happy horsesh*t, I now have a game that I am totally unable to use in any way at all.

Dizzy · « **Reply #30 on:** July 06, 2007, 04:00:02 pm »

Like I said, between campaigns all u do is D/L the latest ship/ftrlist and scripts (model.siz should be part of the D/L with the lists) and ur good. No uninstalling or swapping anything else and certainly no deletion of anything ever.

So if ur having problems, Alpha, I sympathize. But u need to be much more specific on what is occuring in order to get any help. For instance, when exactly did it crash and after you did what precisely?

Alphageek · « **Reply #31 on:** July 06, 2007, 09:17:24 pm »

Well, I started by uninstalling the AOTK3 files, then I uninstalled the OP 4.0+ files, and reinstalled them. At this point, after accessing the Single Player side, the game crashed to desktop as soon as I clicked on the button to select a new campaign. So, I uninstalled OP 4.0+, then uninstalled OP completely, deleted the files left behind, did a restart, and reinstalled everything from scratch. The result was that the game crashed straight to desktop at exactly the same place as it had before.

Install Pestalence's enhancement package, then go get ED's latest missions, then reinstall op+4.0, oh and make sure you are patched properly, run it again, and then go here: SFC2OP\MetaAssets\db\saves and see if u can delete anything there...

Try it now.

Otherwise, you'll need a pro helping u.

Strafer · « **Reply #40 on:** August 21, 2007, 12:22:03 pm »

There was an old bug on this in the patch notes. If you had a solo campaign going and applied the Taldren patch you had to erase the campaign files. Since those are created after the game is installed the various installers/uninstallers have no way of knowing they exist.
