| The newest utilities known to us, made by our own ~YG~ SSuser This helps you create an Instant Action map pack loader. |
| ~YG~ Killer ][nstinct's BZFM or BattleZone File Manager is designed to help avoid that pesky Mission Version Mismatch - Please Upgrade error! Here's a quote from the ReadMe file: So what does my BZFM do anyway? It makes switching between internet play and network play a snap. Alternately, it could be modified a tad to work between internet play and single player games. If you have ever loaded an Instant Action map (a one player mission that wasn't in the original game) or a modern-made Deathmatch map for that matter, with *any* custom tanks or weapons and then tried to play online, you have gotten "Mission Version Mismatch - Please Upgrade" error. It's not because you are playing the wrong version of Battlezone, it's cuz you have something in your addon folder the server detected that doesn't belong in there. *Custom stuff*, see?

| NEW! The YGC Auto-Mapmaking Utility (Utilities?) version 3.0 This set of map-making utility files goes one step further into the future of Battlezone Map-Making than even Killer ][nstinct's own "New-Fangled Map Making Instructions" as seen on our map tutorial page!!! This is very remarkable. Here is a brief description of what this utility does for you: You just double click the appropriate Auto-Mapmaking Utility file. It runs BMP2HGT for you AUTOMATICALLY! It renames and moves your custom .hgt file for you AUTOMATICALLY! It runs MakeTRN for you AUTOMATICALLY! It moves your new .mat and .trn files and deletes the new flat and boring .hgt file AUTOMATICALLY! It asks you to "Choose your planet type please" and then edits your .trn file AUTOMATICALLY! It provides a method to avoid that pesky DOS-Prompt FOREVER! YOU SAVE TIME! YOU SAVE TYPING & RETYPING! YOU AVOID FRUSTRATIONS! Best of all, it is absolutely free! Just click HERE to get your copy, complete with instructions. "My thanks to Slight, maker of BMP2HGT, wherever he is, whose recorded words 'If you know what you are doing - make a batch file to run the prog, delete, move and rename all the files for you.' that haunted me for years, till I finally figured out how to do simple programming to accomplish this. My thanks to God Almighty, who chose to give me a brain capable of solving tough problems." ~Killer ][nstinct |
| The YGC_MapAdder is HOT OFF THE PRESS! (Nov. 11, 2002) The YGC_MapAdder is a Map-Maker's Utility. It moves adding map info to the netmis.txt file into the future! NO TYPING OR COPY & PASTING REQUIRED -- ONLY A DOUBLE-CLICK WILL DO YA! By using this template, the Battlezoners who download and install your multiplayer map will not need a netmis line or a .mad file to enter your info to their netmis files anymore! All they will do is drop your customized MapAdder file into their Battlezone folder and double-click it once. The YGC_MapAdder will do the rest. (OK one extra keystroke on the Any Key also.)

| WIN XP USERS note:field trials with this utility on one Win XP machine showed that the utility hanged up and would not complete the step where the Worlds' terrain was selected. The default trn form for the Moon was brought up. At this point the Win Xp user must remove all text but the size, copy the trn info from the world desired from the edit folder, and save the trn file as ususal in the addon folder. At this date it is unknown if it is a Win Xp issue or if it was only on the test pc. If anyone uses this utility on their Win Xp machine, please let us know if it behave similarly, or if it worked seemlessly. Email us younggunsclan@yahoo.com |
