Hi everyone! I'm having a tad of bother trying to get scud storm to work. I had gotten the file through www.FileFront.com, the file I got was a separate rar file (256mb in size).
I had sent it to the renegade/data directory but it's not showing up within the mods section when I go to test it out in a LAN game.

I don't know if I've sent it to the correct folder or if it's a corrupt file or whatever.
Any help of links given would be greatly appreciated!

SCUD Storm is not supposed to be installed to the Data folder, it's a total conversion mod so you need a completely new folder structure for it. Try using the installer on ModDB.

By having to 'redo' it all. Do only need the installer from modDB or do I need to go to another site link from modDB?
I'll need a bit of a hand lol! I have the rar file and thats it.
Crikey... I wish I knew more about these mods O_o

You don't need the rar file or anything that came from it, it's from an older version.

http://www.moddb.com/games/scud-storm/downloads/scud-storm-100-patch-1

I don't think there are any servers online anymore though...

Thanks for the help! I'm downloading it now.
As for the servers, I'm not too bothered though is there any way to create a lobby room to play on if someone else has the mod? If not I'll just play it for the hell of it lol!

Just log into WOL via scud storm and hit "Host Game". Run through the options, and hit 'Start Game'

Wink

Also, the server-side mod (SSGM with Scud storm scripts compiled) is buggered to hell and I've yet to fix them - one reason why I said the server could go down.

Yeah, I've got a bit of trouble with the scripts. It says I need to update my direct x (which is at 9.0c) to run that version of scripts.dll
Is this fixable by any chance?
Thank you all for the help so far!

scripts.dll needs a file which is not in the standard DX9.0c distribution, download and run this to have the file installed (and any other DX files that are out of date will also be updated at the same time)

Maybe!
Though to be honest it's have to be around now and 6 hours after or any time during the weekend.
I like your attitude (gameplay over graphics). Those who belive in that saying are the loyal ones still online of Renegade, Ren aloert and this board.
I (or someone else) should make a get together topic of some sorts for this mod. I'll need to test it works first.

If you can arrange it....I'll get the server "stable" :\ Give me 1-2 weeks to get the server stable...

I remember one time I was downloading DirectX sh*t for a game engine I was trying to setup...I got the same error. Sad You'd better wait for dp88 on this. Wink He seems to know more than me Smile

Thats ok, I apprieciate you trying to help me. Lets hope dp88 happens to come accross this topic lol! I don't use this board very much so I don't know where to catch him.

Anyway I'll look about. See what may be able to either repair oe update my current string.dll file. I tried regicure but it hadn't helped. I'll figure it out at sosme point hopefully.

I also have a problem with Ren Alert, I need a wolDATA.key file which I DO have in my Renegade folder.

Sometimes firewalls interfere with the web installer (it downloads the files it needs from the Microsoft servers while installing), if you can't get it working you can download the whole package from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C1367BC3-4676-481A-BFAA -5C15D1D7199D&displaylang=en

It's a lot bigger and you won't need most of the stuff it has in it, but it solves problems with firewalls and routers blocking the web installer.

I have all the DX files, I just don't know where to place them. I don't want to take any risks either... unless defragmenting my harddrive will put them in the correct spot... I don't know lol! Even if defragmenting worked, it's take hours to do.

That download is an installer, you extract the files, run setup.exe and then delete the files again, they are only necessary while the DirectX installer is running.

No you don't need VC++.

And, that error is dealing with bhs.dll from the looks of it. /me waits for either danpaul or jonwil to come to help Sad
