You have inconvenienced me. I must now alleviate this inconvenience by mutating this thread from a support thread to a "welcome back" thread.

Welcome back!

Thanks. But i didn't realise MB2 had died as there are NO servers whatsoever playing movie battles now?? Is this a regular occurrence??

Just go to the sites main page and download it, its hardly a major problem.

Everything needed is on the main page? and why would DOTF be in a JKA game that doesnt use the map? it's not a easteregg...

Sir, are you dumb ? He's asking if the mod came with DOTF, so dont act like a retarded person and give him those smartass comebacks.

Malak, the mod does come with DotF. There must be something you did wrong or perhaps you didnt saw the file in the MBII directory.

I thought he meant JKA install...

I took a 50/50 gamble and got it wrong no need to be so harsh and how is that smartass I was only saying.

Ahh o.k then not sure why it has happened though??

Sounds like you
a.) installed them into the wrong folder (all maps go into YourJKADirectory/GameData/MBII/)
or
b.) didn't actually get them (that's in case you used the installer and had the checkboxes for the maps unchecked)

Yes just looked?/

is there any way to just download DOTF singularly then??

I also don't have lunarbase either but have most of the others.

All i can say is someone REALLY doesn't want me playing this game :/

Mr Malak
13-02-2008, 20:16
actually scrap that is there anyway to download ALL of the maps that come with the game??

I have the community map pack but barring cloud city i have none of the other ones that come with the game??:eek:

Simply download and run the installer and uncheck everything but the maps you want to have.

In case anything shows up in red text, you should get that as well and best take a look whether you have all core files too.

looks like another 4+ hour download though. Was looking foward to playing tonight aswell as i can't untick the "core" section:(

Mr Malak
13-02-2008, 20:23
actually is it supposed to take 1 hour for each map because thats the pace my install is going at at the moment??.

And yesterday i had a huge 4 hour download aswell.

I don't know where you live and whatever specs your internet connection has, so, sorry, but yea, it could be perfectly normal.

Could be that your speed changes a bit if you change from ftp to http download however.

I have broadband and live in the U.K yet it is the same speed for all the mirrors. I don;t get it?? The cmp package took me seconds to download yet this movie battles new download thing isn't that good:eek:.

I'm no expert in network/routing/server/ISP-related/etc kind of matters but 4 hours doesn't seem too bad for the whole build, tbh.

To put things into perspective: some of our testers have to wait longer when forced to fully update their beta versions. ;)

The installer/patcher doesn't work all that well, for example it refuses to update dotf and lunarbase as well as it deletes the new pistol animation (not exactly delete most likely it just uses a different name in this build and it isn't being installed). That's what it did to me, at least.
