Version 1.5.2.27 (updated 2014-12-17): Less Broken :)

Post by Ultraken »

I fixed some more things and (I hope) broke fewer things than last time.

Update: Now Gun Towers drop scrap like they should. Huzzah!

This is an older build, the current build "Update 1" is in the patch installer.
Unfortunately I don't have any links to update 1 off Ken's website, can't find them. :p

I found a really weird bug. In a multiplayer game sometimes you will become 100% invisible. No one can see that you are in the game (in the score and ping list). You and all your units are invisible and can not damage anything, if you try to block someone you will be mauled as if you were not there. If you type in the chat it is also invisible and no one can see it. You can take damage however, once in a dm i blocked someones mag, maybe this explains shots that do nothing. Finally sometimes when someone leaves (And you are in invisible mode) the game will freeze and you cant do anything even alt f4. i have a screen shot of this. I hope this can get fixed, i don't know how to reproduce this bug it just seems to randomly happen.

I believe that is a known bug. (be sure you are using the 121Kb anet2.dll)

You should be using Update 1 in the installer either from this site or Spock's installer.
Ken didn't post update 1 so it's only in the installer I provided for this site.

Also 1.5 is discontinued, look for the new Battlezone remastered when it comes out by Rebellion.

I am using the 121kb anet2.dll. If this is already fixed why is broken version still used :?

Also I won't be able to use hd remade battlezones since my computer is old.

I don't believe it was fixed in 1.5 as it's difficult to get info on the cause of the bug.
Much like the Ai and pathing bugs are difficult to figure out.

Well i have upgrades made for the Legacy Bz, not sure about porting to Bz1.5 though as it's not my project and the lack of any communication/cooperation and respect from the ppl running bz1.org/bz1.com.
