FAZ R4 Beta Installer

Post by **aem** » Sun Jun 03, 2007 6:26 am

Because of cache issues (not actually getting the updated zip) I'm now going to rename the zip files with each new build after the build version.

If you installed R4 for last Wednesday's test and just want to download the updated client, you can get it from http://www.AllegTraining.com/AllegianceTest.exe. Just replace your old AllegianceTest.exe in your Allegiance folder with this. If you have not installed R4 or have an older version, install using the following directions.

If you have build 07.09.23 here are the instructions to manually update if you don't want to download the entire installer. If you have an older version or wish to let the installer do everything for you, skip down to Installing R4 Beta.Download http://www.allegtraining.com/R4ManualUpdate071016.zip.ExtractOpen the extracted R4ManualUpdate folder.Select both the Beta and artwork foldersCopy (or Cut) and Paste them into your Allegiance folder.Click yes to overwrite existing files.ASGS IS ONSee Running R4 Beta at the bottom of this postLATEST BUILD: 07.10.16

Installing R4 BetaMake sure you have already installed Allegiance using the standard installer available here. Be sure that you have the latest files from Auto UpdateDownload R4Setup071016.zip and extract the contents.Run Setup.exe and install (beta will be installed into your regular Allegiance folder)Install the Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable package if you haven't already (details and link in installation program)The new Voice Chat packs going around are NOT compatible with the newest R4 build. To play R4 for now you will need to use a compatible Quick Chat list. You may download the default list that comes with Allegiance from http://www.AllegTraining.com/quickchat.zip. Extract it and put QuickChat.mdl in the dev folder that the beta uses (Program Files/Allegiance/artwork/dev/).

UPDATE: The installer will now do this for you if you say yes when asked about having any of the new voice chat packs.

Running R4 BetaOpen ASGSClick Allegiance the menu bar at the top of the programSelect Beta ModeLog inTo go back to playing R4, uncheck Beta Mode

Open 'Allegiance.exe' located in the Beta subfolder within your R3 Allegiance folder or if you said yes to the shortcut option, click the 'Allegiance R4 Beta' shortcut on your desktop.

If you still run into any problems post about them here.

Hi,
I had a bit of trouble manually installing this beta before the "big game" (Wanted to preview the map - thanks Adam!)

1. not authenticating with the lobby after running the allegience_R4beta.exe.
2.trying to log in with ASGS in BETA mode, recognising allegience.exe it as a "corrupted file" and updateing it back to r3 lol /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

but this installer you created really helps a lot. After I followed the steps, it worked like a dream!

I am loving r4 so far and am keen to do a beta game with anyone sometime.

FYI: YP, I can't join your test server. It's also set to No Adv with nobody on, I think that shouldn't happen.

Stupidity check failed on rest of post.

You should be able to join dogbones server's, but not YP's. You sure you can't connect to the one's that aren't YP's?

Yes, sorry I have known about this for a bit but have been unable to resolve it as of yet. I'll just change the name real quick as thats easer /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
