Fleet Ops Lite?

posted on September 29th, 2003, 12:48 am

I'm wondering if you guys could make a diffrent version of fleet ops, so that it does NOT make a new game, but installs in the armada 2 directory, like all other mods, and does NOT have it's own exe. It seems like it's the best mod around, but i can not play it, as my original a2 cd is messed up, so i'm using my backup cd, with a2 on it. What i did was when i got a2, i made a backup copy on a burnable cd, and now my a2 cd is messed up, and i'm using the backup. Fleet Ops wil install, but it will not play. If you guys could make a version of fleet ops that installs ontop of a2 and does not need it's own exe, i would appreciate it, and i'm sure others would too. It doesn't even have to be self-installing. Thnx.

I assume your goal is to use a nocd patched exe? so then, just replace the armada2.tgt with your nocd patched armada2.exe file. fleetops hooks on the original armada2.exe file and make changes to the running process, so we don't break the license, that's why it is named armada2.tgt so you have no confusion b< starting the wrong exe file and fleetops doesn't work as usual.

Also don't forget there is also the possibility to contact activision support and ask them for a replacement disk.

i'm a bit confused on what to do, do i just rename the patched armada2.exe to the fleet ops one and dump it into the main directory?

Goto your fleetops directory
backup armada2.tgt
extract the nocd patched armada2.exe to your fleetops directory
rename it to armada2.tgt
run fleetops

humm seeing were talking about patches, for beta 2 do we need to have 1.1 installed first? if not that would be grate, but if so its still grate, just grater if we dont...

no, you haven't to install anything except fleetops itself as it ever was. patch 1.1 is already integrated in fleetops, so you have no extra d/l, thats why he requires the 1.1 version of the armada2.exe patched, i am not talking about fleetops 1.1, sorry for the confusion
