new release of 1.0.2 patch fix for ================== Thats a incompatibility with the safedisk protection strange values in botf Thats a incompatible between trek.exe and lexicon.dic Cardassians without cloak no intro movies on XPsp2
--------------
support
noting happens when the game should start
You want to start the game, but nothing than a small logo appear and vanish
appears on w2k+sp2 and up
or
You`r botf version assumes the wrong language
You patch you`r botf, but then you got strange values in botf
(difficulty-setting tell you "Not Available")
you`r trek.exe is 1.768.960 bytes long and not 1.781.248 bytes
The problem is trek.exe refering to lexicon.dic
which is includet into stbof.res
for values used in botf.
The original patch from MPS dos`nt patch stbof.res too
to fix lexicon.dic.
They only copy trek.exe over your`s and leave lexicon.dic unpatched
so the new trek.exe look on a different possion from lexicon.dic to display a value.

A patch-bug
Anyway, the bug is in the menu for the cloak button when playing the Cardassians.
The v1.2 patch DOES NOT fix this bug. The v1.1 patch did, but that is no longer available.
Microsoft patched the file iccvid.dll
the decompressor for Cinepak codec
in Sp2.
So placed iccvid.dll from XPsp0 into botf

Building mod 1.8.0 alpha5
--------------
2 of the 4 difficulty-levels includet
working, at the moment, only in single-player
use the shortcuts in the Startmenue of the B-Mod, not the one from BotF itself
Choose your race you want to play and enjoy
The main-screen in BotF will adept your chosen race
If you play as Klingon, the screen show you Klingon ships in front
It makes it easier for you, to determine what race you`ve selected

I released 1.8.0 alpha2
--------------
Klingon starbase upgrade bug
Installation script enhancements
such errors, should be history
===================================================================
The error:
adding C:\bmod\mod\*.* into C:\xyz\botf\stbof.res
can`t adding C:\bmod\mod\*.* into C:\xyz\botf\stbof.res
ERROR 37 Error (317 / 13D) while retrieving error information for 25
===================================================================
Win98 users gain another readme into there Bmod startmenu
The problem is, PKZIP want`s EMS to compress files.
I`ve generated a PIF to provide EMS, but Win98 dos`nt load EMM386
The readme tells you how to enable EMS with EMM386 on Win98 (should work with Win95 too)
Its not necessary to do so, the script do`nt break up
It will continue without compression (bigger files[not much!])
You may have no problem with ME, i`ve made a testrun with a "virgin" installation
Also 2000 and XP
*************************************
There is another enhancement
The 1.0.2 Botf updates, are now available at version 4
| 2003.12.29 | |
I released 1.8.0 alpha
It`s realy a early version
and it`s biiiiig.
So, if you find somthing mysterious, let me know!
The installation script is fully reworked and much smarter/faster.
Because of the size, the mod is only available on P2P (eDonkey network)
You need a client for that, EmulE is a good one
