Possible early version and shader files

[ATAG_Ribbs]

Hi guys..I posted this in the IL2 lounge in another thread.. but might be of some use here also.

Guys I have a backup full copy dated 5/17/ 2012 ..if that would help.. I also have the all the files that you would have in the 1CSoft folder..including the cashe (Shaders folder) dated 10/19/2011 if that helps..let me know.


I just found another complete backup dated 4/26 2011! :)

Do you know what versions they are? Can you start them and post the version number, because some of the early patches (or even release version :stunned: ) have lots of things that either:
1) we might want back
2) teach us about how things worked/were changed

Namely things like shader/painter folders and things like that, but keep it all on hand, and chuck up those version numbers :thumbsup:

Cheers

Version (French) 1.00.13820

Jaws2002 is also flying early versions and afaik he knows a way how to install an early version.
If he isn´t registered here, he can be found at 1C forum, he is posting screenshot on a more or less regular basis.

Im not sure how t go about it. They are Steam version back ups. So it just says disk 1,disk 2 and so on.

Im not sure when the first patch came out....but I was thinking it was about a month after release. Also..is it possible to install steam twice on the same computer? My problem is i have CLOD and steam installed on my SSD, plus other steam games. I really dont have room to put another copy of CLOD on there. I do have a 1terabyte ext. hard drive i could install it on if i could change the steam install directory...or install a 2nd copy of steam there. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

IL2COD_15866_core_patch

[Wolf]

Oh excellent guys.

What we need is to have you run _DUMP so we can get the $core outputs.

I have the original disc that I have unzipped from .sis files etc so it has the standard look. but I can not get it to run. I would love to be able to open the sfs files from original install.

or be able to run a _dump.

Anyone know how?

[Vencejo]

$core from -dump, version 1.0.13954 spanish:

I have obtained the data using this kegetys and my launcher.exe.config smoothly:

Thanks Vencejo,

I use Keygets also but I just don't know how to run my original install as it keeps auto updating to todays install.

These files are great thanks.

[Vencejo]

you are wellcome.

[il_corleone]

You guys should take a look at this post http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3571455.html , could have some interesting files for you

I have the one that's just before 1.03820 English

I do have a 1terabyte ext. hard drive i could install it on if i could change the steam install directory...or install a 2nd copy of steam there. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

When I made a backup of one of my older installs, I just copied the whole il-2 Cliffs of dover folder from steam, and the 1Csoft Club from documents, and I droped on a third drive. This way, later when I wanted to go back to it, instead of the official version, I'd disable the automatic update in steam and just put them back where they were. It was fast going from one SSD to another one, but it's getting old quick. The problem was, I lost the very early release version when the back up drive died, so it was not very helpful, as the game was already messed up in the earliest version i had.
In the end, after few weeks of trying to get an older version back, after mailing steam and 1C, i just said F*k it and got the torrent. That was made with version 1.0.0.13820 and the bonus is that it runs independent of steam, as the guys that made it, nuked the steam install. Now I have the old version right next to the steam folder on the same drive. All i have to do is make sure I use the right "1C SoftClub" folder.

I may be wrong but I think that fairlight torrent crack rode in on the back of the first patch of the Euro release. So the original Euro release files are in the torrent as well, as is the first patch 1.0.0.13820 which need not be applied for the purposes here...before my upgrade I flew the Euro v. minus the 13820

1) Does anyone have a mission that they can run where they see fog??
2) Post the mission .mis file here

3) What game version are you running?

4) give me a link to the $core painters and Shaders folders with files.

"FogTest" mission

Just an early morning mission with fog visible

version is 13820, for which I already gave you the shaders/painters

[SlipBall]

Fog was dependent on the time of day aswell, around the 6 hour seemed the thickest :P

Thanks Vino, checking now.

I think there is another issue that fog is conditioned to turn off in the core.dll or the madox.dll

I notice when I set usefog=1 in the conf.ini when you exit the game it resets it to '0'.

So final version may have it turned off in the dlls.

Even in the early game use fog was set to 0...and still there was fog, hope that helps on where to look

I have most of the International beta patches except 14214 and 14762, and all of the Russian beta patches. If you need any of them just let me know. Hope this helps.
