Last thing to fix before HTroop 1.0b5 should be released

[professor_smith]

Hello Again,
Okay, here's the situation. I was finished with my mini-mod, HTroop 1.0b5 (after 12 years of working on it lol), but as I was about to release it on www.getrektgaming.net, it was pointed out to me that I was using EoD 1.50 for Bf1942, and not the updated and final, EoD v2.51 for Bf1942.

So I am currently having to deal with the possibility that players may have to download my HTroop Install file, then a patch for the readme file explaining this:

"Welcome Everyone to HTroop! I hope that you feel the exhilaration and passion when playing HTroop, that I have put into it over the years. HTroop is a mini-mod for the retail Electronic Arts game, Battlefield 1942. It is composed of and requires gamers to download and install other mods, to play HTroop. The other mods required to run HTroop are as follows:

Battlefield 1942 (Version 1.61)

Battlefield: The Road to Rome (Version 1.6)

Battlefield: Secret Weapons of World War II (Version 1.6)

Forgotten Hope (Version 0.7)

Eve of Destruction: The Indochina Vietnam Conflict (Version 1.50)

(**Note regarding the listed, required version 1.50 for EoD: My apologies to all, Especially Lotte, but as this is a Beta release, and I was unable to find the solution to the conflict between EoD v2.51 and HTroop v1.0b5 in time for my deadline, currently HTroop only works if you have EoD v1.5.........However, I am diligently working on the issue to correct this. If anyone can help me with the issue, please contact me at: professor_smth@yahoo.com.........For those of you who are not as modding savy, to get around this issue, simply download EoD v1.5 from www.GetRektGaming.net; go into your explorer and go into your: Battlefield 1942/Mods folder, copy the EoD v2.51 folder, and paste it into temporary folder. Then install/extract the EoD v1.5 install file, into your Mods folder. Whenever you wish to play HTroop, simply switch to v1.5 this way, until the patch is released that corrects the current issue. For those of you who are modders, this is the error I am getting: "RLRocket addBundleChilds not found: KayushaRocket_Engine. I am also getting a Firearms Networkable error. Any ideas what could be causing it? Please email me. Thank You.)

The Great War (Version 0.14)

Parallel World (Version 0.62)

Battlefield Pirates (Version 1.0)

Desert Combat (Version 0.7)

Desert Combat Final (Version 0.8)

Silent Heroes (Version 1.1)"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

.........And then have the players download EoD v1.50 from the website above (Yes, Lotte, the creator of EoD, already gave his permission to do so) because the the players would have to switch the 2.51 with 1.5 mod folders, every time they wanted to play HTroop.

Well, I sought out the problem, and found what was causing the problem with HTroop and Eod v2.51. This is what the debug file says:

"Debug: WorldObjTemplBase: PreCaching template: RLRocket Engine\WorldObjTemplBase\SimpleObject.cpp

(134): Warning: WorldObjTemplBase: Couldn't create geometry "r_rocket_m1" when creating object of template "RLRocket" Engine\WorldObjTemplBase\BundleTemplate.cpp

(145): Error: WorldObjTemplBase: RLRocket addBundleChilds() template not found:KatyushaRocket_Engine"

As for the object causing it, it is either because Eod v2.51 doesn't have a separate KatyushaRocket object in it's Vehicles\Land folder in the objects.rfa

OR

The RocketLauncher object within EoD's Vehicles\Sea folder is incomplete. By that, I mean that the RLRocket projectile, is looking for addObject: KatyushaRocket_Engine (because there is No KatyushaRocket object, it crashes). I have already tried making completely redone scripts for the RocketLauncher (except the name), so that it would only read info from HTroop. I tried 9 or 10 different edits/combos, and nothing works. It always just has that same problem.

Can anyone help me?

Thank You,

Professor Smith

Nevermind Folks, I figured it out. Just had to place EoD v1.50 in a different folder in the Mods folder. Example:

Battlefield 1942\Mods\HT_Data\EoD which is 1.50 and Mods\EoD which is 2.51.

Thank You All Anyway,

Professor Smith
