so botg runs a lot better than the normal game? did you use any of my fan patches I've provided?
also the game will "lose" your save files the more you mess around with comparability mode and run as admin mode, they generally change the directories - you shouldn't need to mess with that stuff...
Hey how did you find all these values? (This is really advanced stuff!) I can convert these to runblack.exe addresses if you need them though, let me know :)
I can also throw these changes into the fan patch if you want to ship your maps more easily to users. (As long as there are no bugs with...
It can change colours. And colours. You could give Black and White a cosmetic overhaul by replacing the textures in AllMeshes and other various places.
I think that's either hard coded into the game's binary executable - or it's possibly part of the original scripts which you can find here: http://www.bwfiles.com/forum/index.php?topic=7960.0
edit: found it in the scripts
For example to create male platoons you would do:
TownDefenders[Ctr] =...
I don't even have info.txt in my scripts folder, only info.cdat - I assume info.txt is provided with the scripting tools perhaps?
The info.cdat appears to be a proprietary format made by Lionhead with the header: LiOnHeAdInfoAmmendments. I can probably make a compiler/decompiler for it in a...
Yeah installing as an administrator became a requirement since Windows Vista. But the installers weren't flagged to do so, unlike modern installers. That's why most things fish up I think :(
Good to hear it's all working for you now though :D
I updated the opening post with amendments to running stuff as admin. As for a lot of what you said, you shouldn't touch 1.3 or p5dll.dll at all, it was a patch meant to enable compatibility with a specific peripheral device. And 1.4 includes the same and more patches than BaW_Patch_2.exe does...
The game stores the special creatures as a registry key basically unlocking them in the base game. The registry key can be found in this path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/Lionhead Studios Ltd/Black & White/BWSetup/BWFeatureKey
You can adjust this value manually by double clicking it and setting...
You need to copy the Audio folder from the CD (or ISO) to your game directory.
Your profiles are now stored in something know as a VirtualStore for modern Windows systems as the game cannot write directly to the game folder unless run in Admin mode. So your profile should be able to be found...
hm, post your scripts - and if you can get details about the error (maybe through the event viewer, knowing stuff about the memory stack, instruction address etc.. would let me isolate the issue completely if you can provide that stuff)
you solved this? just curious, what was wrong?
afaik the game doesn't support 5 players? there are most likely hard coded limitations, one example I can think of is the temples each have their own model/texture related to their player id - temples with integers from 1-4 exist, where as 5 doesn't.
take a look at the folder: C:\Program Files...
