Hi All,

Ran the GS install from CD, unziped the the official GS update into dir, added the Gunship v2 beta, then unzipped the Mod8 v3 into the Gunship directory. I can launch the PDF, when I go to change terrain I get the message mentioned above.

Thanks,
riccisj

Never mind I didn't notice the setup .bat file in the mod directory. I just took a flight in the desert. Wow!! FYI, I picked up another "oldie but goodie" yesterday at Compusa. Xicat's version of F/A-18 Hornet for $4.88, what a steal.

Now if I can just get the boss to take the kids for a walk.

Thanks,
riccisj

hi riccisj-
Glad you got it worked out. But I'm puzzled as to why the setup.bat didn't execute when you ran the installer. Did you unzip the files from the installer exe manually? (Which is fine, as long as you run the setup.bat, too.)

If not, I'd like to find out why the setup.bat didn't run automatically. This is the first comment I've heard about this, and I want to be sure I din't miss something.

Thanks. Don't forget your sunscreen... wink

I also just picked up Gunship! and F/A-18 at Compusa. You got the better deal though, I paid $9 apiece. Great classic games!

I am just amazed at Gunship! Its like a perfect modern war simulator.

fng2k –
The setup.bat does execute but stops with the error message in the title of this thread. I think I may have a clue. I removed the "echo off" line from the batch file and noticed it was stalling at the verification of the "gunship.ini". As I had not yet run the app the file may have not yet been created. I launched the app, changed a few settings, closed the app and reran the setup.bat and it executed perfectly. Hope this helps. This is great work. I had shelved this puppy for a long time but have a renewed interest. I think the fact that I spent the winter playing FPS (which I used to think where a waste of time) has given me a different perspective on Gunship as a tactical game not just a "flight sim"

I went expecting to pay $9.99 for PSF and thought that was a good deal. This is a great little gem, good graphics, a mission editor, and a smaller theater (I don't have a lot of time these days for more the a 30 min mission). Our you familiar with this site http://www.fa-18hornet.com/

Hope this helps.

Man, that was some snazzy troubleshooting!

I think you nailed it. gunship.ini is created at the first launch.


Nice work! Have fun.

cheers
