Is it possible to play TBP without installing TBPs own exe file, like using standard FSOpen launchers and playing the TBP as a mod? Or are there any real risks getting the registry screwed up when installing it when i have the FS2 already installed? I remember that last time i tried this i got some odd registry errors but it was quite a long time ago (about 6 months or so).

One way is to just move the TBP data folder in to the mod folder in your main FS directory...

Though when I did that the techroom stopped working. CTD when playing TBP as a mod when trying to enter techroom. And I think the FS FRED was complaing something about the weapons tbl...

These are likely just problems in my system... And I didn't bother to work it out yet, 'cos been busy playing AoE3...

The only problem I've ever had was the techroom problem Prophet mentions but that's cured by going to the campaign room and picking a TBP campaign  (or a FS2 one when you swap back)

Apart from that I've never had any problems.
