Patch 41BB for plain TAK ?

Hi. I use the TAK release by gog.com. I don't like feel of the new race from The Iron Plague, so I have chosen not to install it (it's an option in the gog installer). The gog release already uses patch 40BB, however, trying to install patch 41BB causes all sorts of trouble for me.

First, the patch just assumes that I already have The Iron Plague installed and want it. That is, the patch installs files from the The Iron Plague which I'm not interested in. Suggestion, make two different patch installation packages. Alternatively, add an installation option to patch TAK without the expansion.

Secondly, after installing the patch the game asked me to put a CD in when trying to play multiplayer?

I didn't understand your point, you want to install 4.1bb version but don't want Iron Plague together... There are no differences between running a 4.1bb game with The Iron Plague campaign or only The Book of Darien one, you'll still be using Crusaders Balance.

I don't know much about gog.com version, but I had a friend that used this version. What I can say is that the 4.0bb version of Gog.com doesn't have much difference from the 4.1bb version, it's compatible in online-gaming. But, I've noticed 4.0bb online doesn't have Creon enabled, so that might be a problem.

So...

Well, I simply want the patch to be compatible with the classic TAK by gog. The answer to why I would want that is that I don't want Creon to be available in multiplayer. I'm sure that baffles some, but there it is.

But maybe I should just stick to 40BB and let it be as that.

Just keep in mind that only YOU won't have creon enabled, if the other player is using 4.1bb (as I said, 4.0bb is compatible with 4.1bb), he will be able to use Creon, and you not.

Okay, I understand that, but it's actually 100% with LAN parties in mind. Sorry I wasn't clear about that. Anyhow, are you guys using a 'special' complete download for playing TAK? I've seen reference to it, but I couldn't find it. I like to find a version of TAK that uses 'pgtak.exe' instead of 'kingdom.exe', so that I can try to apply the pathfinding cycle fix to it.

\"****\' this gog.

Just pick one :

The TA:K Setups 1.02 have been released! ;D

Changes:
-Fixed A LOT of bugs, but everything is working fine now.
-Added Languages Options, for when you are going to install, you can choose which language you would like that your TA:K be translated to. (English, Français, Italiano, Deutsch or Español)

-Compact Version (307mb) - Mirror 1 (Copy): http://tinyurl.com/TAKCompactSetupCopy - Mirror 2 (Dropbox): http://tinyurl.com/TAKCompactSetupDropbox

Lmao Myst.

Hippox, you can use TA:K Switcher, it uses pgtak.exe. Download Here. (It's not a TA:K Full version, it's like a launcher for your already installed TA:K, but it will use pgtak.exe as a form for running mods/races and more changes)

Thanks for the help. It's appreciated.

I actually have few question to the release that Myst linked to.

1#

When starting the game with the icon created on the desktop (by the installer) which points to 'kingdoms.exe' the game will ask for a CD when wanting to create a game. I notice that there's also a 'kingnocd.exe' in the main folder, however, when starting the game with this executable the game version will read as '3.00BB'.

2# reading 'kingdoms.exe' with 'RomHaxxor.exe' I can see that this executable haven't been modified, however, 'kingnocd.exe' has been modified.

3# I think the 'credits.bik' should always be installed even when selecting no movies as it animates the menu.

Can you explain these things 1#+#2?

I am the creator of those 2 setups, so I think I can answer these.

1# That's the reason for having a kingnocd.exe version, using the main .exe (kingdoms.exe) you won't be able to create a game or play campaign, because it'll ask for a CD. So, if you want to play campaign/multiplayerlan you use kingnocd.exe. Also, Kingnocd.exe will show 3.0bb version but actually it's gonna use 4.1bb version. ^^

2# Kingdoms.exe is the original exe, kingnocd.exe, as the name says, King No CD, it was modified to not use CD.

3# Ty for your feedback.
