Battlezone 1

I have the regular NSDF skins, but I'd like the Black Dog versions, how do I go about doing so (or which file contains the Black Dog skins)?

First off, your avatar is amusing

Secondly, all BlackDog related files begin with the two letters, 'bv'. NSDF vehicles are 'av' and CCA are 'sv'.
Take the standard tank for example:

NSDF - avtank - Grizzly
CCA - svtank - Czar
BDog - bvtank - Blackdog Grizzly

Quite a few of the Blackdog vehicle files can be found in the Battlezone zfs file such as the walker (bvwalk), the turret (bvturr), the Bdog Grizzly tank (bvtank) and the armory (bvslf), but some others are stored in the Red Odyssey zfs.

If you do not have The Red Odyssey then go here: http://www.battlezone1.net/home/downloads/index.htm

Once downloaded and installed, go to your TRO folder (which is typically 'C:\Program Files\The Red Odyssey 1.3) then use unzfs.exe to open the file which is called 'odyssey.zfs'. Once you're in, search for "bv". The results should bring up all BlackDog related files.

Hope this helps

"odyssey.zfs" only includes the ODF and other files, the textures are in "odyhw16l.zfs" (large 256x256 textures for hardware mode).

tell me where on above page it says red odyssey installer on that page in the Other link i see nocdro http://www.battlezone1.net/downloads/odyssey14nocd.zip and ro patch http://www.battlezone1.net/downloads/od ... tchv13.zip i may have missed something i don't see it both cant use them both give error messages when used

There is nothing wrong with either of those links... Not too sure why you're getting error messages, can you send a print screen?

the links work fine the files down load but when i use them both say after opened and i try to install them you do not have a updated version go to bz 1 site get
get up date i was just looking for a similar like 1.5 bz installer for ro i don't see The Red Odyssey 1.3 installer link

also i have a skin pack with a tutorial for all vehicle templates included its what i used to make skins found here

So you're saying you're trying to download TRO and it's saying that you're using the wrong version? Make sure you're actually trying to install the new files. You can check to see if they're the ones you should install with by checking their properties. TRO 1.3 download link should appear on the list... If you've already install it and it's still not working, check that you're trying to launch the new odyssey.exe file. It's easy to launch the wrong one by accident. Again, you can check whether it's the right executable file or not by checking its properties and looking at the date on it.

The no CD patch for RO is actually kind of obsolete now. The RO installer on battlezone1.net has a 1.5 session patch that also doesn't require a CD.
The new RO installer has only 1 executable in it, so if people use that, there won't be any confusion.

i have not installed it because neither of those links i guess is the installer i found those two in other files tab i have the latest 1.5 installer i dont see anything red o in it
if theres a link to a [quote]new ro installer[quote] sure would like to know where it is

It's on the downloads page of course.

lol i had bz on fav kept goin to same page

this is what i seen till i refeshed
and seen this after i hit refresh




so simple but its the little things that count .
I m now red O capable it works now

How to convert .map to .bmp?

EDIT - @Total x Avenger, yeah, i know, i resized it but didn't keep it proportional xD




this was helpful but it only has a few of the black dog skins, i extracted the files, however, as i said, they're in .map format.




thanks for this, as i just said, i extracted them

EDIT 2 - not sure how this thread got de-railed but it did

Try PHOTO SHOP 7 or similar program i cant remember which one i used it was years ago
I'm sure there's a new better program by now .
But if you goggle .bmp to .map you can research it .
I get every thing for free, if you need need it from pirate bay .
Its a paint shop pro type program that you need to do what you want i well monitor your progress. And look myself if i find the program you need ill post a link or upload it for you myself if i find it
nolbp
sorry for going of topic its just where i posted my ? {about red o}


my attempt at a grizzly skin

MapViewer can convert from MAP to BMP. Just open the palette (such as objects.act), load the map, save as BMP... it's a bit of a hassle, but it works.

That's an interesting reskin. I don't really pirate anything, besides 3ds Max programs... hehe... anyway, I'll try that.

EDIT:



I suppose this'll work for me though, I am able to open the .map files and save them as a .bmp, it doesn't seem much of a hassle to me.
