Go read, might be amusing, and go volunteer to join me playing GC2 coop when it's released too =).

Well I'm always horny for co-op gameplay, but I also suck at strategy games. I don't like the massive learning curves. I don't want to buy a game just for a few fun rounds of co-op.

Errr....

#2848 posted by Shambler on 2003/12/13 15:12:58

....I was thinking of the whole damn game =).

Coop Is Good, But, Um...

Win98 will install (or upgrade from Win95) fine on FAT16, and it also includes a FAT32 converter in the system tools folder, which can convert you over to FAT32 without having to format/re-install.

Winsock Initialization Failed

#2861 posted by Scragbait on 2003/12/20 14:07:36

Hi Quake Types

I'm frustrated with something that perhaps someone out there can help me with. I have a 2nd PC which is this:

Pentium II - 266
2 Voodoo 2's in SLI
128Mb RAM
Sound Blaster Live! Value
No modem or LAN card and no internet connection
Windows 98SE

Here's my frustrating problem and I have tried scouring the web for answers but they either don't exist or you have to be a programmer to understand it. I've done clean installs and patches on 3 Quake 2 engine games (Quake 2, Sin and Heretic 2) and none of them start. I get a WinSock Initialization Failed popup and that's it - no game. FitzQuake gives the same error message but it is good enough to know that I'm not in multiplayer and I can play SP just fine.

I only want to play single player. I've downloaded from microsoft the winsock files but no luck. My PC is pretty clean - there's not much on it.

Can anyone help me?

I've Never Seen

#2862 posted by aguirRe on 2003/12/20 14:29:53

that error in Q2, but WinSock is the programming API to access TCP/UDP protocols via Win32. Since you state that you don't have a network card, Win98 might not have installed basic TCP/IP support.

Either try the Q2 command line option -noudp or install Microsoft Loopback Adapter to get TCP/IP installed. For that you don't need any network card hardware but the protocol stacks will be installed so any program that require them should at least load.

Program To Shrink Textures?

#2863 posted by necros on 2003/12/20 17:06:27

anyone know of a program that can shrink images to 50% of their size (regardless of their initial ones) completly automatically?

or is there a way to do it with Photoshop 7.0?

Irfan view can do batch conversion and resizing.

How I Got Q2 To Run

#2865 posted by Scragbait on 2003/12/20 19:18:47

Thanks aguiRe for the suggestions but unfortunately neither worked. (actually, I couldn't find a Loopback for W98SE but I tried something called virtual networking). I ended up following most of the steps in this article:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;288133

I think the cure was deleting the Winsock2 registry key and removing and reinstalling the TCP/IP and Dial Up Adapter (which had previously been there.) I also extracted the winsock.dll and Wsock32,dll from the cab files on the CD. My other machine which had DSL internet once ran into a Winsock2 problem after I installed and removed iMesh. I recall that the Sympatico support tech walked me through something that seemed very similar to this.

Don't know how this crap got corrupted in the first place but at least I can now play some Q2 while I'm away from my main box.

aguiRe - Thanks for helping me in many ways. I'm still cleaning up my map but I'm away from that machine for awhile. Too bad since I'd like to do some more editing over the holidays.

LOL
