RoF Installation

[Danziger]

Hi guys, I got a new laptop and wanted to get RoF on it. However the download from the official site takes all day before stopping at 90 something percent and refusing to finish. Is there another way of getting it downloaded?

You can install through Steam.

You can try D/L'ing from the alternate copy link I made available for folks having problems with the official servers - see this page:

When I installed it and tried to log into the game it gave an error message about the way the files were packed and that it wouldn't work.

Hmm - I'll check it out and see if I can figure out what's going on.

 

[EDIT] - did that error message come up after you unzipped the file from my link and installed the game successfully?  It may just mean that you need to do an update from the game's launcher - have you done that yet?

I will do it and check.

[Danziger]

Yes that did it. Working now thanks

Excellent - enjoy RoF!  It's still my favorite, though since getting my Rift earlier this summer it's proving harder and harder to tear myself away from BoS and get back to RoF these days.

It's been a long time since I played RoF very much since getting into BoX. It kind of gives me two feelings. One like it is still a seriously great game. The second that RoF could be even better when it gets integrated into the BoX upgraded engine. I really forgot how much I like to fly these early birds.

The rofmods site doesn't seem to work anymore. Is there another way of getting the mods?

Ive been trying to install the new landscape textures mod. Have mods on enabled. Installed with jsgme and manually and niether works. What is the path this needs to be installed into?

Exactly which landscape texture mod are you trying to use - there are several different ones.

This one. Which is the best recommended?

The latest version of that mod can be found here (tested for RoF version 1.037):  http://www.mediafire.com/file/ax2ihvfxa7wmy23/Fubar_Landscape_Mod_for_1.037_for_JSGME.zip 

 

You should be able to unzip that into your MODS folder and use JSGME to install it, but you can also just look inside the package and that will tell you the relevant path(s) where the mod's files should be located.  I like Fubar's mod and can certainly recommend it as a good, one-source package (I'm actually running a modified combination of versions from AnKor85 and Feathered that I like somewhat better, but the differences are minor and largely down to personal taste).

Thanks Panther your link worked better:)
