But, as noted above, progress in SP missions is left untouched. * Mid-mission savegames from BZ2 1.0-1.2 can not be read, as the file formats changed too much. Those new preferences files can not be read by 1.2. 1.3 uses a new file format for pilots/prefs, and upgrades 1.2's files on reading them. * Progress in Singleplayer missions, preferences should be read fine where more options than 1.2 exist (especially the sound setup), users may need to adjust those new options if they don't like the defaults.

However, any map/dll that depends on certain behavior in the AI, etc for scripting may need tweaking. * Maps & DLLs for BZ2 1.2 should load fine.
#BATTLEZONE 2 1.3 AIP PATCH#
* Like all other BZ2 patches, the 1.3 patch is not network compatible with any other version- all players in the game must be running the exact same version (1.3) Some notes on compatability w/ previous versions: Whining about this will not change anything- we've heard such complaints for years, and your comments will only serve to harden our resolve in this. Please realize that feelings are not an argument. Certain people certainly feel strongly about this. It is not due to complaints from "newbies" or the like. This was removed because it is considered to be a bug by those of us who worked on BZ2 from the beginning. A translated version of these text items may happen at a later time.Ī special note: one of the bugs fixed is the infinite flying bug present in BZ2 1.0 - 1.2. Voiceovers and other sound effects will remain in the installed language. If you have a foreign (French or German) version of BZ2, this patch will replace a lot (but not all) of the files used to display text ingame with English. But, it may be useful reading.įor now, this patch will be pretty much English-only. This changelog contains our (minimalist) notes as to what changed for each version, and isn't guaranteed to be easily understood. * Includes an over 450Kb text file listing changes made since 1.2.
#BATTLEZONE 2 1.3 AIP MANUAL#
* Updates to the manual (located in the Extras folder where BZ2 is installed to) to give updated and more accurate information * Ability to rotate buildings (on 90-degree increments) for even more base-building fun * New BZ2 editor screen layout files contributed by testers to expose more functionality that was already there. * Several additional security measures to make cheating in multiplayer much more difficult deliberate remote crashing of games should be fixed. As of 1.3PB2, there are 16 classic & additional IA maps, 98 classic & additional MP maps installed. * Over 50 additional Instant Action & Multiplayer maps by several mappakers within the BZ2 community, and tweaks to some existing maps to reduce bugs. * Strategy-CTF game mode - capture a goal, tug it back to your recycler to win, on 6 classic maps. * Bots in DM, and some additional DM gameplay modes.
#BATTLEZONE 2 1.3 AIP MODS#
* Many more pregame options for IA, DM, Strat & MPI games (feature available to MODs to define custom options pages on a per-map basis) * Enhancements to many parts of the game, including AI, craft handling, etc. Gamma (brightness) adjustment works on ATI cards. * Some graphics tweaks: Maximum ingame resolution can be set much higher than 1280x1024 if your hardware supports it. * Support for Ogg Vorbis compressed sounds - similar to mp3 files, but with higher quality.
#BATTLEZONE 2 1.3 AIP DRIVER#
Note: not all sound cards on the market support that many channels if the driver on your system notes a limit under 64, BZ2 will use that instead. * Redone audio system that supports far more channels (up to 64) and DirectSound3D for a far more immersive experience.

Please note that not all bugs have enough details to figure out how they happened, and so it probably will be impossible to get all crashes fixed. * Developed/Tested on Windows 2000/XP, DirectX 8.0-9.0b for much better compatability out of the box. Many MODders have been among 1.3 beta testers, and have been working to take advantage of the new features.
#BATTLEZONE 2 1.3 AIP MOD#
* Much greater MOD (game modification) support, allowing up to 26 total races to be active at once. The 1.3 patch has been in development since September/October 2001, headed by two programmers from the Battlezone II team: Ken Miller, Nathan Mates.Ī number of tweaks and enhancements are planned for v1.3:
