Re: GBL Battlepack clipping; XP; MW2hook

Yeah. Without exception, AI mechs, battle armor and everything else, it seems, falls through cliffs. This is unfortunate because it is pretty prevalent.

EDIT: ADD:
Hmm. Restarted as FREEBIRTHTOAD and the first mission, mannedorf, with the ravens, did not fall through the cliff, but the dropship ...

GBL Battlepack clipping; XP; MW2hook

I used to own the DOS version of GBL and never had this happen on Win 98, but here's the problem:

In the first mission, defend on mannedorf, the ravens always fall through the cliff, getting damage-level yellow legs, and land inside the hanger! Weird! In the mission to defend the dropship on ...

GBL Battlepack question

I just bought GBL off half.com. Turns out, it was the battlepack edition - I was so disappointed to learn that it was essentially the same as titanium edition but 8-bit. Problem is, they never list the actual edition when you buy those things. I guess I should have probably questioned, but I assumed ...

Re: MW2 Heat bug


2. Buying an old computer.
Wish I could buy my old Aptiva back. That one had an ATI card, and the ATI Rage version of Mech 2 is superior to all that I've seen. Complete music, complete wireframe, extra mech HTAL art (elemental), better looking worlds (less fog), lovely skys, better cockpits, and ...

Re: MW2 Heat bug

CPUGrabber didn't work at all. I set affinity for both Mech 2 and CPU Grabber to CPU1. The slider in CPUGrabber was around 20% and then I tried it with 50% and then 70%. Ironically, it overheated my processor, causing my computer to shut down. I had to pull off the heat sink and better apply thermal ...

Re: MW2 Heat bug

Nice forum, btw.

it is more like a frequent problem with any new computer multi core or not.
You can partially fix it by using cpugrab and slaving both mech2 and cpugrab to the same core.
Not fool proof but it helps some.

Either way just do not go over! It is not that hard :)

Also, the DOS ...

MW2 Heat bug

In Mechwarrior 2: Pentium Edition, and in Titanium Editions of Mech 2, GBL and Mercs, heat does not effect me even when turned on. When it gets into the red, if I overide then keep firing, I'll never blow up, and it'll get so high it won't come down. I also tried this with ammunition laden Mechs and ...
