It's a little soon for an installer. The builds are changing constantly so either someone rebuilds an installer each time or once you get it set up once, just drop in the new exe file each time it's released.

Re: New Build Common Files
A patch installer would be ok but you still have to add the executable, i don't see any point updating an installer for each new build.
I also wanted to figure out that dep bug with 1.5 when i have time.

Re: New Build Common Files
It may seem too soon and old if you have been keeping up with these 300 + updates for 1.5 to have an installer for it. But if you're trying to play it for the first time like me it's a nightmare.

Re: New Build Common Files
Ken has to make an updated input.map so i'll wait till then and make up an installer to get it all working together.

Re: New Build Common Files
Newb here - Battlezone player from the old days.
Can someone please tell me what I have to do to try your version/mod?
I have Battlezone 1.4 installed from the downloadable file from the former publisher (I think.) I have downloaded your three files to my desktop, but I have no idea wht to do with them. Do I just unzip the DLLs and put them in the Battlezone folder? You mention 1.5 - do I need to install that first, or is that what these files do?
Thanks guys,
Lukon

Re: New Build Common Files
The game executable is the main thing you'll need from a given build release, and you just unzip it straight into your Battlezone install folder. The program database file and map file might be useful for debugging, but they're entirely optional.

Re: New Build Common Files
Links for the latest executable can be found in the most recent build's topic. These will be updated occasionally.

Ken, your net.ini link here and on Nathan's forum need the new labels added.

Is this with the Visual C++ 2008 RC1 Redistributable Package (x86) installed? (BZ needs the x86 version because it's a 32-bit application.)
