BTRs Atomic Earth For BHD

**RAB** · 07-23-2005, 07:32 PM

I downloaded the mod. Looks kewl in the pic by the way. But was wondering what I needed to do to make it work.

Will the med pick it up if i just put the pff file in the BHD folder. Or if I add it to the existing pff file, Which one to I add it to.

There are several ways to do it... but... it depends on whether you are currently running BHD with or without a mod.

Four (4) of the files need to be added to the .pff - the 2 x .3di and the 2 x .dds files. To get them into both the med and the game - they will need to be listed in the items.def file. You can use the items.def I gave you or just add the text (under decorations) to another items.def (of BHD or a mod ). After editing, be sure to pack it back into the .pff.

If you use the .pff of a mod, you will need to 'call' that mod when starting up the med and/or the game. Two files that will make these tasks SO much easier ---- can be found here.

The only mod i was planning on working with at this point is the Terranova mod. But mostly I just run the basic BHD/TS game. I tried the Lock and Loader once before and it didnt work for me. Dont know why. I just kep the seperate shortcuts on my desktop and use the one i want to run As for serving the Anaconda Server manager has a built in option for mods. Ive had the packet utility for a while. Used it for Comanche. I'm guessing that the packit utility will puts all the files where they belong. The only thing I used it for was installing maps.

To get them into both the med and the game - they will need to be listed in the items.def file. You can use the items.def I gave you or just add the text (under decorations) to another items.def (of BHD or a mod ).

Will the game read two seperate Items.def files? Or does that def file include all of the BHD/TS items already.
Thanks again for all the info and help.

It is a flash program - if you have flash installed, it should work. Always has for me. Packit will only load into BHD's default .pff... you may want to pack them either with a batch file or FWO Raven's pff editor.

I'm not sure what BHD does with the .defs. Both BHD (and TS's, I think) items.def are encrypted. If you add to them, you will have to decrypt/encrypt them. Try opening the terranova's items.def and add those lines to them (under decorations). Add the files to that .pff too. I'm sorry I can't help you more than this - I don't have the terranova mod installed.

BTW, Atomic will show under decorations.

Ok. I'll see if i can get something going with them. Hopefully I can get it right the first time. I figure your probably getting tired of me bugging you about now. I don't want to get on your nerves to much or you might not want to help so much when I have an actual problem. LOL
Thanks again. For all the work and info but more important for your time. I don't care what everybody else has been syaing, Your OK with me.

Well good news and bad news. I got the the thing to work just fine. Sent all the files to Reaper and it worked for him too. But unlike C4 anybody else coming into the server gets punted. I've seen the same object used in C4 and with 2 PCs, 1 with your mod installed and 1 without the mod. Everybody was able to fly no problem. Without the mod you couldnt see it but the server wouldnt punt you. I'm guessing that the small collision boxes were not the only changes Nova made from C4 to BHD. I might pull it out of the PFF files and repack it.
I did get a couple SS to add too.

Hmmm... didn't know BHD would do that. Nice pics - you used the lighted version I see.

**RAB** · 07-25-2005, 04:49 AM

Well I seem to have found another problem unfortunatly. Not only do the people with out the mod get punted when coming in, It seems with the mod you get punted from any map that doesnt use it. As strange as that seems. I have 2 copys of BHD/TS i run(3 including my backup copy) plus the server. Me and Reaper played the mod map no problem. When we went back in on the other maps it would punt you in about 20 to 30 seconds. Tried pulling the files from the gaming folders and still got punted. Had to pull them from the server too and had no more problems. Thank god for the backup copy. LOL I will probably try it with one of the mods and see if there is any difference.

Heres a couple of pics from a map I started in C4 with the BHD mod. I wish there had been more interest in that. I quit working on it after a while. Figured if I spent all the time making maps with it there would be me and just a few others that had the mod installed. I might pull the mis files back out again when Avenger gets his work done.

Hey Cool, the Map with the Stadium

have you More Screens?

**RAB** · 07-25-2005, 12:49 PM

Hey ZAK,
Sure I got a few more screenshots for ya. There isnt alot to this. I had just got started with the map. But that was back on 6/1/05. At that time I was running 200 log ins a day on my C4 server. I even ran 26+ hours with atleast 2 or more people flying in there. That was not quite 2 months ago. Sorry to say but I'm not seeing much intrest in the game now to give up the time finishing this or half a dozen other maps that I've started.
Hope you like the pics.

**ZAK** · 07-25-2005, 02:12 PM

Thanks RAB, is this a TDM Map or a DM Map?, Make you also SP / COOP Maps, for Comanche 4?
I work to Time on a new BHD ExP Map, my First BHD Map in this Year

Greetings
ZAK

Nice looking map there duder.

**ZAK** · 07-25-2005, 06:10 PM

Hmmm RAB I have a great Idea for a C4 COOP with you Stadium

Thanks RAB, is this a TDM Map or a DM Map?, Make you also SP / COOP Maps, for Comanche 4?

Was going to be a TDM. All the maps I made were for my server. Never even tried to make a COOP map. Seriously doubt if I could set an event in one if I had to. LOL When making maps I try to provide a new and interesting surroundings and let the players that come in provide the action.

Hmmm RAB I have a great Idea for a C4 COOP with you Stadium

Sorry ZAK but its not my stadium. Have to give the credit for that to Bluetiereign. He did all the hard work that made it available in C4. All I did was put the pieces together that he provided. Any ideas you get from the pics here feel free to use. Who knows I might end up finishing this one sometime later on.
