About This File

Over Flanders Fields Essential Multiplayer Files Autoinstaller

June 3rd, 2009

Installer coded by Madmatt

 

PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT FULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING!!!

 

Welcome, this simple little autoinstaller was designed to help ease some of the hassle some people have encountered in trying to get all the files they need to join some of the exciting Multiplayer games being hosted every week by members of the "Doves and Hawks" online squadron.

 

This program will install 3 separate sets of files that will allow you to also use the L30 Zeppelin, German Gotha Bomber and see the nice searchlights that are required to play some of the new MP missions that have been created recently.

 

JUST ADDED! This program now installs 23 new multiplayer compatible missions for your flying pleasure!

 

This program can be uninstalled at any time and will not affect your normal Single Player experience in OFF. It does NOT change any stock OFF files, it merely adds some new ones which are needed in some MP missions.

 

Since the "Doves and Hawks" members all play with the Optional Hardcore Damage Model v1.30 released by OBD Software, I have included the option to have this installer connect your web browser to that file. It will NOT install it for you, it merely links to the file online.

 

Please Note: This installer program will scan your aircraft folder and if it detects any older Gotha or Zeppelin files, it will delete them before it copies in the new ones. This is done to ensure everyone is using the SAME version of these files wherever possible. Be aware of this if you have custom Gotha or Zeppelin skins for instance because this installer will delete them. I recommend you back up those folders/files if you do have any custom Gotha or Zeppelin skins you don't want to lose.

 

How To Uninstall:

 

You can uninstall these new files one of two ways. You can use the standard Windows "Add or Remove Programs" option located under the Windows Control Panel or you can browse into the folder called "uninstall MP Essential Files" located in your "CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields" directory and double-click on the file called unis000.exe. This will uninstall the new MP files only. It will not uninstall your game.

 

Permission by all the original mod authors was obtained where possible and we thank them for their work.

Madmatt, I just read the above text and will download your Autoinstaller now.

Although I am not a multiplayer yet, I may try it some day, and I find it very kind of you to offer this here.

Thanks a lot!
