Hey all,

Now that I have access to a windows box and a copy of BF2, I'd like to officially sign up as a tester. Could someone direct me towards the latest build?

Many thanks!

You are "Contributor" already which includes "Tester" automaticly

Yes you can download the build when you get SVN see here: http://forums.tarmac...p?showtopic=434

There is no setup exe or zipped version atm. I could upload one tomorrow however.

[six6to8eight]

Ah I see! That would be fantastic if you could.

Yeah a new stable build would be sweet. Last time I tried the one on svn it crashed, even in debug mode.

[six6to8eight]

Stupid question: how do I run the mod after I've installed it with SVN? I don't see an .EXE in the mod folder. I assume I make a BF2.exe shortcut on the desktop and add an argument to the path. What argument might this be? Or do I do something else altogether?

[six6to8eight]

Figured out the args, but I just get a black screen and then crash to desktop. Do I need to run in compatibility mode (I'm on Windows 7)? Or is it just that the build is unstable?

Thanks a ton for your help. Can't wait to try it.

[Cassio]

check that the mod is in the right folder.
.../Battlefield 2/mods/isnitrodev/*content* e.g. "objects" folder.

Don't know about the stability of the current svn version. my version is pretty stable

the target of your shortcut should look like this:

"C:\Games\EA Games\Battlefield 2\BF2.exe" +fullscreen 1 +modPath mods/isnitrodev

No you neither need to set compatibility nor run it as admin usually.

[six6to8eight]

Hmm, still no luck. Do people have it running in Windows 7? Will try reinstalling later. Thanks for the help.

[Cassio]

Yes running win7 x64 here.
Make sure you updated the build to revision 1020

Phatty seems to have similar problems. I cannot reproduce them however. So no idea what causes it yet.

Edit:
rev 1022 runs stable on a dedicated server now.

[six6to8eight]

Updated to newest build and tried a bunch of different combinations of args, including nothing but the modPath. No luck... Weird, because BF2 runs fine. Oh well. Thanks for all your help!

This is why I don't like svn. Have you tried the builds from the svn?

[six6to8eight]

Yeah, this was all done through updating via SVN.

[Cassio]

stupid question, but are you running the latest bf2 version: patch 1.5 ?
Have you tried other mods?

here the installer/zipped version of the mod can be found:

it's 100% identical to the svn version so there should be no difference.

@matt
It's not svn's fault that you need to set arguments on your bf2 shortcut and neither if there is a bug in the mod!?

My crashing problem ended up being a voice program I installed. I disabled it and I can load maps fine now.
