Arsenal Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Ok, so I got the '46 DVD and installed, so I'm at 4.07. I've looked through the forums for what I need now and from what I can tell... 1) Ubi patch to 4.08m 2) All of the 352nd mods in the vault (the original 1.2giger + 2 updates) This seems to be all I need, is that correct? There are just so many threads, I can't keep my head wrapped around it and you run the danger of going to far back to information that is no longer applicable.

T_O_A_D Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 4.08 then I'd just go with the 1.1 Unified Installer its in the vault already, and it has all the 352nd has I beleive, and its set up for Online play with the stricter anti cheat codeing, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsenal Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 So that's all the Dogz use? I don't fly anywhere else, so I don't need a switcher, correct? I see about 7 AA files. I need all of them? Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Oh and since this topic is brought up while I'm doing a clean install of the game myself: Does UI 1.1 also have 4.09b in it? I remember it is in the 352nd mod pack, but I'm not sure about the UI 1.1 though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 @ Arsenal. Yes, you will need the switcher m8. There is one in whatever option you chose; the 352nd or the AAA one. @ Lothar. Yes, the AAA jobbie has 4.09m in it as well. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensenPark Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 ok, do we install 1.1 over a clean 4.08...or do we install it over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 You can't install the AAA over the 352nd mod pack. They are separate installs. The AAA has to be installed over a clean 4.08m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blairgowrie Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 You are far from being dense Arsenal. I am the dense one. Here's why you need the switcher. I'll be hosting 4.09m with mods then a new Danger Dogz will show up and say " I don't have the mod pack installed yet and only have 4.08m installed" That means I have to stop hosting 4.09m modded and everyone has to switch to 4.08m. Or, we might fly against another group like the 69 GIAP and they don't like mods and will only fly 4.09 clean. Content wise the 352nd and the AAA are very similar but there are some differences in the maps for example, with the result that some players will spawn 100 ft above everyone else. They see things ok but it is a bit disconcerting for everyone else. The reason that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 19, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 It is possible to install AAA over a 352 modded game... You need to rename two folders first though: In your game folder the ones called Files and MODS, if you rename them to 352Files and 352MODS you will be prepared for my mod switcher, when I complete it, which will toggle between these options: 1. 4.08 Clean from 352nd Source 2. 4.08 Clean from AAA Source 3. 4.09 Clean from 352nd Source 4 4.09 Clean from AAA Source 5. 4.08 Modded from 352nd Source 6. 4.08 Modded from AAA Source (no 6DOF) 7. 4.08 Modded from AAA Source (6DOF on) 8. 4.09 Modded from 352nd Source 9. 4.09 Modded from AAA Source (no 6DOF) 10. 4.09 Modded from AAA Source (6DOF on) It will also switch between sources, so you can go from 4.08 Modded from 352nd Source to any other variant. Which is part of the reason why it has taken a while to develop it, my hard drive biting the dust today had nothing to do with it really (I am SOOOOO thankful I was backing up every hour ) but two disk failures in 3 months seems a bit extreme, they were both Seagate Barracuda 320Gb drives..todays disaster took my XP (and development) install and Vista 64 with it.. Arsenal, you can get a good handle of what is required from This very nicely constructed post BG - are we close to adopting the AAA, or would you rather wait for my switcher?

Blairgowrie Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I would like to wait until you have your switcher finished and tested. Then perhaps some discussion and maybe a final poll vote. I think there might be some resistance and we need to air any concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted February 19, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Fine by me Sir! Good news is my switcher can be configured to switch only 352nd (a check box not ticked does it) and it still remembers what was last run. I'd like to look into the possibility that a Co-Op host could tick a box that updates data on our web server, so when the switcher is run by others it will automagically set the right version for the host. But that might be a bit ambitious for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensenPark Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I tried to extract it to a fresh copy of 1946 and get a message at the very end of the extraction asking for this to be installed first: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\AAA_Community_Installer_v2.rar any idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 JP do you actually have all 8 sections of it downloaded, and in the same location on your machine, so the extractor can access them, as it needs them? My guess is you are missing #2 I had to down load each one one at a time, before I got a full set that wasn't corrupt. I finally managed to get a full set from these links. Fingers crossed that these will actually work here, Links removed as requested (we do have these same files in our vault BTW ) BG or Mod you may want to move these above links, to a private area, I'm not totally sure if AAA wants them mirrored like this.

Arsenal Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Arsenal, you can get a good handle of what is required from This very nicely constructed post Thanks for that. I guess the Dogz are still in a bit of transition. I'm not sure whether to go with the 352nd or the AAA installer. Maybe I'll just hold off on all mods until there is a decision on which one we are going with (if any). I'd hate to get the AAA all set up and then have the decision go to 352, or vice versa. Of course the universal switcher you're working on would solve my indecisiveness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lothar Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 If you do make some changes, always make a backup of your original, working game. I didn't and it caused a lot of frustration for me ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
