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

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?

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:

It's not necessary.

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.

had trouble taking out AOTK3 also.  I did the AOTK3 uninstall, uninstalled op+, then reinstalled op+.  Now I can't see anything typed in.  Am I at the point of a full reinstall of OP again?

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

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.  ;D

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.
