No apologies necessary. You're gonna have to work a lot harder to offend me than that.

That being said, if you want to learn to design maps and make your own scenario with this mod integrated into it, you're more than welcome to do so. Just credit Radigator and myself for the tweaks. I'm even happy to help you load it in.

This is not a "do it yourself, forehead" thing. I genuinely cannot make maps to save my life, but I'm happy to help with anything else. The community can always use more modders.

Ah, my apologies. I'm new to Battlezone so I didn't realize mods were map-based.

Multiplayer mods with BZ are a bit unique. Strictly speaking, this mod can be loaded into any multiplayer map, but it's tied to said multiplayer map.

And unfortunately, I'm a sorry map designer. This is the best I've come up with using this mod.

Wish we had a multiplayer version of this

You're not wrong.

well, the mod screen don't tell me that... thanks for informing me :D
of only there was a golden standard for how to signify such things.... Oh right "SP" and "MP" might be a way... darn devs lol

Red and Green colored mods don't have to do with whether or not the mod is working. It has to do with whether or not it works in Multiplayer. Red mods are single player only, whereas green ones will work in Multiplayer.

Shows as read in the mod menu, so i guess it's out of date? game is version 2.2.301 now, so maybe your mod here needs update?

Snazzy

Well Seqan, i finished TUQ and several Black dog and Chinese missions, i didnt have upgraded pilots on, but i did have the Increased Draw Distance mod on.

And i mean, a mod is a mod, i earned achievements for each map finished. :)

Will do.

Im about finish the The Ultimate Quake, either today or tomorrow. Ill see what happens and let you know.

Please let me know if that has changed. I've got all the achievements so I can't check. If it has changed, I'd like to put a note on some of my other mods.

Sweet!

Thanks!

They were compatible last I checked.

Ok. I never used mods for BZ before.

Sorry, i got confused, the mods are achievement compatible? So they disable or they wont?

As it happens, mods ONLY work in single player. Map creators for multiplayer have to incorporate any mods they want into the map itself.

As for achievements, when this was uploaded, yes. Mods are achievement compatible. As a general rule, I try not to upload mods that are too cheaty, but I did modify some assets for a couple TRO missions to make them less cancerous.

Question: Does installing mods like this disable achievements? In the same vein, i have to ask, does this mod apply for the single player campaigns?

Im currently playing through all of Battlezone after finishing NSDF, CCA campaign long ago, just want to make sure im not missing the achievements. :)

In the 90's a lot of modders would make "unofficial patches.” A title that let users know that the download wouldn't try to change the game too much and work with the shortcomings of gameplay. The idea came from the Total Annihilation mod community to release these "unofficial patches.” In the end, BZ'ers saw it as too much of a change and the patch didn't fix any of the hacking. 1.8 was a popular download still (couple of thousand downloads over the years) but caused a lot of fighting with the term “unofficial.”

Overall, the name of the “Unofficial Patch”, "Mod" or "Package" was called “Battlezone 1.8 Patch (Unofficial).“ As long as people remember the “1.8” and Google auto-completes it, then the title / marketing worked I guess, right? I mean… I was 12 when I made 1.8, while amped up on Mountain Dew, and posted it on my Geocities page. I don't think I was that diabolical in trying to fool a large community of grown intelligent adults.

Hey thanks for the Credit! Much appreciated!

Nice job bringing part of 1.8 it into Redux. Having the ability to not be useless without a ship was one of the main points of 1.8 I tried to make. Sniping with a 56k modem was not as fun as blasting already heavily damaged ships with a proper weapon strapped to your space suit.

Thanks again for the credit and I look forward to any future content of yours! +1 Following!

No it isn't. As stated in the description, I yanked the modified files (and then modified them and applied similar modifications to the CRA and BDog pilots) from the Unofficial 1.8 patch/mod.

Is this the old BioBattlezone / BioSoldiers mod?

Updated! See change notes and please report any notice bugs to the appropriate thread. I think I got all the AI-exclusive pilots this time but I've been wrong before.

That's what it was called however many years ago (queue Ded10c). The reason I called it that is so those who knew it by what it was called will recognize it.

Obviously it worked. =P

I wish you would call that "unofficial 1.8" a mod not a patch. :)

Updated! TRO support added

It was advertised as an unofficial patch...I corrected my typo a minute ago.

Just gonna call it what it was advertised as, bugs or not. ;-)

Just so you're aware, there is no "1.8 patch"; 1.8 was a mod created by a user named Radigator. :)
