Slaughter Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Thought so. Just wanted to let you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 There is one small issue I have with ALPine Fulby. When I have installed a plugin, and want to open ALPine, I have to close the plugin installer, and open ALPine manually. Can you please make a button in the plugin installer that takes you directly to ALPine? (yes, I am lazy ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulby Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I don't think "lazy" really goes far enough , but here's what you want. Replace your current PInst.exe with this one. Fulby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I have installed many plugins lately... Hmm, it doesn't work for me. I see the new button, but when I click it the program closes and ALPine doesn't start... Will you update the installed of ALPine with this as well?

Fulby Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Not much point if it doesn't work is there? Is ALPine still called "alpine.exe" (case doesn't matter)? Fulby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 It is called ALPine.exe. But strangely enough, this is only a problem when I open the installer with a plugin. If I start PInst.exe by double clicking it, it works. So it seems that the problem is only there when a plugin is "active" in it. It doesn't matter whether I install the plugin or not, doesn't work either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulby Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 OK I know what's wrong, I've uploaded a new version (same URL) which should hopefully work. Fulby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 And it's working . Will you add it to the ALPine setup file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulby Posted February 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 I'm not entirely sure of the "make the setup program" process any more, and I've prefer not to mess it up for such a small change. The new program's available for those who want it (assuming it's not just you ). Fulby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naitguolf Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 can you plaease make a version that works with spanish version? I mean, we dont have any localization file, but instead modding this file, making a new one file and then insert the plugins there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulby Posted February 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2004 Does ALPine still work but without adding text, or can it not add plugins at all? If it doesn't work at all, a partial solution might be to get a localizationpack.vfs from another language version of UFO:AM, which would let you use ALPine compatible plugins but you wouldn't get glossary entries etc. Fulby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulby Posted March 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I'll add an extra option to the installer and I think I know why RB6.3 isn't being found. I'll probably upload a new ALPine or patch at the weekend after making the changes. One question: Does the RB6.3 VFS filename match "*cfg.vfs" or "mod*.vfs"?

Aralez Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 It is called 64_mod.vfs ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Sounds good! Post here when it is up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manus Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 The RB63 VFS name is:63_mod.vfs and I always rename it to cfg.vfs when I using it with Alpin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulby Posted March 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 The patch is now available here. The mod wrapper will now find VFS files matching "*mod*.vfs" and the Plugin Installer has a checkbox to auto-overwrite files when extracting plugins.

Fulby Posted April 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 The ALPine website was having problems and so has moved to a better place, namely https://www.ufoaftermath.co.uk/alpine/. My thanks to Pete for the webspace. ALPine 3.0.2 is now available from the web site as an installer instead of a patch. Fulby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aralez Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Is anyone interested in an Alpine plugin that limits your crew to seven people? I had this idea when i had 14 or more recruits in my equipment screen and they somehow made me nervous And did anyone ever try to add a new difficulty level? I thought about something like the "superhuman" level in XCOM.... I could do another Alpine plugin with this, IF it works.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Sure Aralez, the more plugins the better . @Fulby: Nice! I'll update the ALPine section when I get back from Easter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
