Re: The Babylon Project 3.4 / Final download link
Thanks for the tip. Dustbuster freed up an additional GB but still not enough. I only got 2GB free on my C: partition. I really don't want to reinstall my entire system just to enlarge my C: partition. I got more than enough space on my D: partition (still got 40 GB free). Do you know how to extract files from the msi package?

Thanks upfront.

hi,
to extract the msi under windows, write this in the execute programm in the windows start menu (dont know excatly how it call in the english windows version):

Code: [Select]
msiexec /a "source" /qn TARGETDIR="target"

for example:

Code: [Select]
msiexec /a "C:\TBP-Base-3_4.msi" /qn TARGETDIR="C:\Test\"

Mehrpack


Ok,

I unpacked the files like you described. Afterwards I just had to install "openal32" to correct the error messages and to be able to use open gl because the intro movies in direct3D are scrambled. But now the game just runs fine. Superb.

Thanks alot.

If you've already installed OpenAL, then select the debug build in the launcher, run the program, and when it crashes, post the last 10 lines of the Freespace2\data\ error log file (I forgot the name, but you'll know it when you see it)

Re: The Babylon Project 3.4 / Final download link
Since you guys have put up an archive only version of TBP Final you can expect more people complaining about problems running it under Direct3D. One of the things the installer does is set the correct registry settings so that the game automatically runs under OpenGL with appropriate settings.

If it hadn't been for that necessity I would have distributed TBP Final as a zip archive myself.

How's about an included .reg File with the correct registry settings in your rar archive?
So you can extract TBP, execute the .reg File and then start the launcher.

Yes I really want to spend the rest of my life telling people how to use reg files. Good plan.  :nod:

Should have just used the BtRL executables. They're basically 3.6.9 with a couple of bug fixes which shouldn't affect TBP in any way but they only run in OpenGL. The few people who actually need D3D could simply download 3.6.9 official.

Corrected registry settings are all well and good but we all know that there are a whole bunch of people who will run the launcher and go "OMFGBBQ! OpenGL! That's SLOOOOOWWWWW!" And then pick D3D.

If I'd known about them I would have used them. With us being HLP's biggest most underappreciated mod though, I was never going to find out until after the event was I. Hell I even shipped 3.4 with the horrendous Vorlon Fighter mission save bug because I figured asking the SCP team for assistance would be a waste of time. I did my best with the limited time and support I had.

Just for clarification:  Do I run in openGL or direct3d.  I am confused.   ;)

(OT) A fatal error in the kernal file occurs when the path gets too long. Just an observation, not a bug report.

Yes. You'll note the first post in this thread has one instruction. Just one. One I tell you. He couldn't even follow that.  :(

Perhaps a RAR installer would have been better... would be cross platform and spared you telling everyone to get an MSI unpacker (As opposed to clicking on said regfile, although I guess the regfile is not applicable to us Linuxen...)

But thus is a minor quibble; Thanks for all the hard work you put in!! ;) :yes:

Just the screen shots look totally badass... speaking of which I'm gonna go get my ass handed to me by the AI in the beautiful environment you've created once this finishes fetching... :P

I could not make the required registry alterations using a rar or a zip!
