OBSOLETE: installing TRO Content

Post by Ultraken »

The new All-In-One Asset Pack (2012-07-03) makes this unnecessary.

----

This is a work in progress and subject to change. It has some side effects that I need to fix. There's also a very high chance of it causing mission version mismatches with players who don't have this installed. Try at your own risk.

First off, you'll need an install of The Red Odyssey.

From RO root folder:
* Create BZ addon\odyssey
* Copy odyssey.zfs, odyhw16.zfs, and odyhw16l.zfs to BZ addon\odyssey
* Side effects:
- Changes the single player shell background
- Screws up the NSDF Grizzy model the way the official 1.4 patch does

From RO addon folder:
* Back up or rename sprite8.stb and spritea.stb in BZ addon
* Copy sprite8.stb and spritea.stb to BZ addon

From RO anims folder:
* Copy all AVI files to BZ anims
- Skip existing files but replacing them doesn't hurt anything

From VideoVenture.org:
* Copy netveh1.odf to BZ addon

TRO assets have a lot of errors in them, among them you'll find:
- missing wav files
- wrong names in odf files
- models turn completely white when looked at at certain angles
- tanks have much higher fwd speed which causes warp online
All truth goes through three stages:

•First it is ridiculed
•Then it is violently opposed
•Finally it is widely accepted as self evident

It's going to need a cleanup pass for sure.
