Kegety's sky pack hisky

[reedkiller 0]

I am rather annoyed with Kegetys, on 2 occasions I have given him the 98/Me fix and asked him to include it with his pack and not to credit me. I recived a reply from him but no action has been taken. --- please do not e-mail me requesting the fix anymore as i have lost it ---

@ Sep. 15 2003,19:12)]Hey eisa, I know im asking too much but, is there any possibility of you host or send me yours data3d.pbo ?

If not, maybe anyone else could?

That's pretty impossible since it's 200mb. My only advice is to use cpbo.exe since I tried with unpbo and that didnt work at all either. I can try and help you out on messenger if you have it. Just add me and ill see if I can help you

Well good news, i did as you said eisa using cpbo, anyway it doesn´t work again but when I run the ofpsetup and turned on the HTWL it started working with no probs!!!!

I didn´t remenber if that other time when it was first working ok that HTWL was on, so it´s a strange stuff. Anyway Changing made it work and know I´m happy again.

All the fix does is allow 98/me users to use your pack!

I see no reason not to update it

[kegetys 2]

I see no reason not to update it  

Then update it.

This has turned silly.

If a user needs it on 98/ME he will search and find it if he wants. It's kegetys work and he probably got better things to do than update an an archive with something a player should find. But I agree with you that it's a good idea to update it

Check the original HiSky thread, someone posted a solution to Win98/ME problems there.

*edit* Well here you go:

Quote[/b] ]hmm... first of all, batch installer seems not to be compatible with Win98 command shell, in which...

a) del '/Q' parameter is illegal

b) copy '/Y' parameter should be one of the last parameters

so... the installer batch should look like that (for persons having troubles in Win98):

Code Sample  

@echo off

cls

echo.

If exist newdata\jasno.pac goto ok1

echo Installfiles not found.

goto end

:ok1

If not exist ..\res\dta\data.pbo echo ERROR data.pbo not found

If not exist ..\res\dta\data.pbo goto end

If not exist ..\res\dta\data3d.pbo echo ERROR data3d.pbo not found

If not exist ..\res\dta\data3d.pbo goto end

If not exist ..\res\dta\hwtl\data.pbo echo ERROR hwtl/data.pbo not found

If not exist ..\res\dta\hwtl\data.pbo goto end

If not exist ..\res\dta\hwtl\data3d.pbo echo ERROR hwtl/data3d.pbo not found

If not exist ..\res\dta\hwtl\data3d.pbo goto end

echo This will process datafiles as required for high resolution skies.

echo None of the original OFP files will be modified.

echo.

echo Before proceeding, please make sure that you have

echo at least 400MB free space on this drive.

echo.

echo.

echo Press any key to continue or ctrl-c to abort.

pause >NUL

mkdir dta

mkdir dta\hwtl

mkdir temp

del temp\*.*

cls

echo Processing dta\data.pbo...

echo.

bin\cpbo.exe -e ..\res\dta\data.pbo temp

copy newdata\*.pa? temp /Y

bin\cpbo.exe -p temp dta\data.pbo

del temp\*.*

cls

echo Processing dta\hwtl\data.pbo...

echo.

bin\cpbo.exe -e ..\res\dta\hwtl\data.pbo temp

copy newdata\*.pa? temp /Y

bin\cpbo.exe -p temp dta\hwtl\data.pbo

del temp\*.*

cls

echo Processing dta\data3d.pbo...

echo.

bin\cpbo.exe -e ..\res\dta\data3d.pbo temp

del temp\obloha.p3d.srpc

copy newdata\obloha.p3d temp /Y

bin\cpbo.exe -p temp dta\data3d.pbo

del temp\*.*

cls

echo Processing dta\hwtl\data3d.pbo...

echo.

bin\cpbo.exe -e ..\res\dta\hwtl\data3d.pbo temp

del temp\obloha.p3d.srpc

copy newdata\obloha.p3d temp /Y

bin\cpbo.exe -p temp dta\hwtl\data3d.pbo

del temp\*.*

cls

echo.

echo all done.

echo You can now run OFP with high resolution skies by using -mod=hisky parameter.

:end

pause

This worked perfectly for me.

Please tell me how to implement that fix. I am incompetent when it comes to this kind of stuff.

[mr burns 132]

I´m kinda incompetent with that stuff too...

but this code looks like it could run in a batch file

So u just have to cope the given text into an empty editor sheet and save it as anynameuwant.bat.

I´ll try this myself now and see if i can get the new Water textures and Silesians T55 working

[norsu 180]

Just open the bat-file that came with the addon in notepad program. Clear all text and paste everything from @echo to :end from the code I posted. Save the file and you should have a working installer.

*edit* Or you can just this installer I made with the code sample

HiSky installer for Win98/ME

[Beagle 684]

Thank your very much NoRSu, thats exactly what I hoped someone would do, since we are not all programming cracks...

[bmgarcangel 0]

It was the the ural I got a p3d error on and made any mission with it crash. So maybe you wanna try what I did.

Depbo the data.pbo and data3d.pbo in the res\dta or in res\dta\hwtl if your'e using HWTL.

Manually replaced the files with those from newdata folder in the hisky archive. *.paa and *.pac goes in data.pbo *.p3d goes in data3d.pbo.

Pbo it all together.

Make a modfolder for it and use a shortcut with the -mod command.

PS: I advice you to use cpbo which is in the bin folder. For me it was much faster. It's a command line tool, but if you open install.bat up in Notepad you should figure out how it works.

Hope this helps!

I got something that said data3d/vysilacka.p3d missing

The concept should be the same, something went wrong in the instalation process, so just try and see if it works
