awesome, does it have the campaign maps, so ull have terrain for everything

[PlagueDog]

Yes, it has all the terrain volumes so there won't be any problems getting into servers running maps with uncommon terrains.

I love it! Excellent work! Can it run off of a USB flashdrive? That way I won't have a CD being lugged around in my backpack while I'm between classes (some are hours). Thanks!

PlagueDog, a while ago you quite easily fixed the problem of running SS of of a flashdrive, but it was with the noCD patch. I couldn't find the file (the one where it checks for the CD before running) on regular SS. Is there a way I can load SS to my USB flashdrive and make it work? If it takes too much work, then thats perfectly okay. No need to go through a bunch of work for something not very critical.

This version of Mobile Starsiege has been modified to run from hard drives and flash drives. It can even be ran directly from the zip file.

The main menu gui would need to be modified because the current buttons have message tags that check for the cd.

A simple way around the cd check is to use

$basePath = $basePath @ ";multiplayer";
$consoleWorld::defaultSearchPath = $basePath;

then use guiload to get to a menu

guiload("join.gui"); for multiplayer
guiload("profile.gui"); for a new campaign
guiload("saveload.gui"); to load a campaign

or if you just want to get to the server list when you load the game put this in autoexec.cs

function Splashgui::onClose()
{
$basePath = $basePath @ ";multiplayer";
$consoleWorld::defaultSearchPath = $basePath;
Schedule("guiload(\"join.gui\");", "0.01");
function Splashgui::onClose(){}
}

To run Starsiege off a flash drive you must remove Checkdisk(); and regOk("/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Dynamix/Starsiege", "PATH");
from console.cs

If you don't have a console.cs you can extract it from the scripts.vol using the command prompt.

cd\
cd dynamix
cd starsiege
extract scripts.vol console.cs


The original NoCD is not very good. Its gets you passed the nocd checks but by default cannot be ran from a usb flash drive and its hell using it when you are modifying gui's.

Sense these functions are so small you can embed them all into a modified mainmenu.gui with the basepath script as opposed to all the files that NoCD uses.

The new menu and color scheme is cool, nice work
