DOE install issues
« on: March 23, 2003, 08:58:13 pm »
The ToDOE.bat file contains the strings:

mkdir ..\Assets\Models\Thol_ca
cd Tholians
cd Thol_ca
copy *.* ..\..\..\Assets\Models\Thol_ca
cd ..

After running the bat, I have the directory for thol_ca, but it is empy and it looks like the rest of the bat has been ignored. No directories for other Tholians, nothing for the new Roms, and the shiplist is still the stock list. I'm comming from a clean install, so I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong there, and I did try the bat w/ the cd Tholians line removed: no change.

Am I alone in this issue?

For the conversion script to work, you have to creat the DOEConvert file within your C:/ProgramFiles/Taldren/StarFleet Command II folder.  You have to run the shell from this location (C:/Program Files/Taldren/StarFleet Command II/DOEConvert).  Have you done this?  The copying process follows a very specific directory path so it needs to start from its folder within the Star Fleet Command II folder.

If you installed on a drive other than C:, then just substitute that letter above.

In truth, it doesn't matter what you name the folder you create, but DOEConvert is easy to remeber.  Also, once you create a shortcut that points to ToDOE, you can put the shortcut anywhere you like.  Make sure you don't aciddentally make a copy (rather than a shortcut) of the ToDOE script and try to run that from your desktop.

Come back if you need help.

LATE EDIT:  Now that I read again, I see that it is creating the directory properly.  So I guess you have your stuff in the right spot.  Sounds as if it isn't finding the Tholian models to copy.

Did you download Convert1.zip and Convert2.zip and unzip the contents of both into c:/Program Files/Taldren/Star Fleet Command II/DOEConvert?

Note that it NEEDS the ce Tholains line, as thata carries the script to the Tholians folder within your DOEConvert folder.

The Convert1.zip has the source files for the Tholians and the new Rom model for the KVL and VLV

I don't know where to put this but...

I don't like the new model vulture model.  Expertly created, seamless textures, however, it's a little cartoony.  Although, I do agree a new model was needed.  It doesn't make sense that they'd use the same hull for Warbirds, War Eagles, King Eagles, and Vultures.

It might be just me.  I haven't checked the Gorn yet, do they have different models too?

And the tholians look cool

Is there a way to keep the bat from terminating on completion, so that I can see what it did or failed to do?

Ah, I see your boggle.  For some reason, when you unzipped your Convert files, the subdirectories didn't get unzipped.  Inside your DOEConvert folder you should have a folder called Tholians and another called Romulans.  Inside each of these should be several more folders.

Can you try the unzip again?  Be sure you click on the option that lets you unzip the subdirectories.

Or I'll try to put together a manual list for you to do the moves yourself.

When all else fails, READ THE DAMNED INSTRUCTIONS.

You did say to extract the files, not do the lazy @$$ed drag and drop, didn't you.

Thank you.

Hmmmm.... how to respond?

I know:       !!


(The model isn't checked for in Validated clients.  As long as you use a model with the same name and put it in the same folder, you can swap it out if you want.  BUT WHY?!  IT'S GORGEOUS!!!)

Did you unconvert from the old versio before trying to convert to the new version?  The converter won't convert a converted game.  (Say that three times fast!)

Actually it does. Go to Start menu --> Run, and then type in "command" and press OK. It's there you just got to work it baby.
