Disabling PR shaders

[Clypp]

If anyone is being kicked because of a mismatch on levelname/client.zip rather than shaders_client.zip it is probably due to your use of my customized topographical maps (see sig for link). I am PMing Jaymz (who is doing the MD5 change?) and hope to hear a response from the devs soon.

i use my digital camo for the PLA and got kiked last night .

too bad i forgot where is the PR object_client backup :P

[Code]

Hmm, am I the only one not able to run the shortcut?

I get an error in Windows Vista, 32bit - which says
"You must run this executable as an administrator due to a bug in Windows - see Security Update MS00-024 Breaks SHGetFolderPath in Shfolder.dll - access is denied.

Yes, i am running in compatibility and Administrator mode. Nothing works? That link directs to an Internet explorer 6 update..?


Edit -

Running off F:\BF2\ dir, shortcut looks like this..

F:\BF2\pr.exe +modPath mods/pr +menu 1 +fullscreen 1 +restart

Had to move the pr.exe into the BF2 folder as it was saying BF2.exe not found.

Does the edit mean that you got it to work?

There is no problem in adding a second check for the file you modified to include those customized topographical maps.

Sent me a link to the file and it's changes to the stock once (what you have added and all other people will add - would be better to offer a download for that file - unzipping, zipping causes sometimes slight differences if done by different people and on different ways).
We can add a second valid check for each client.zip - so no one gets kicked - neither the ones using the standard maps, nor the ones using the topographical maps.

btw - those topographical maps look far better then the original ones - especially for pr.

Nope - highly frustrating.

1) - Running in admin mode, compatibility mode
2) - Edited shortcut to the above to see if i can make it work - nope.

Doubt a fresh install will work, as it seems vista wont let me run that shortcut for some reason. Even with UAC off etc.

Also, this thread http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f27-...der-vista.html
is exactly whats happening to me, and the only way for me to fire up PR is through BF2.exe etc - which is how the poster solved their problem. But the new shader check means, that doesnt work.

Help?
