Title: Need a bulletproof install sequence for OP installs on a group of 3 XP PCs...
Post by: Tumulorum Fossor on January 29, 2014, 07:00:08 pm

... that I JUST got, and installed on my home network at home!!!

I have my one copy of OP (with security code), but it has been so long since installing and I have little time before the weekend gaming get together.

Can someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take me by the virtual hand and remind me what I need to do to get me up and running, patched, firesouled, desktop launch fix, etc..???

Thanks, SFCers!

Thanks for that.

Since firesoul's website has the latest OP+, and the Enhancement Package 5.1 doesn't, I'm just following firesoul's step by step BOOTSTRAP instructions at:

Okay, I confess. I wussed out, and just went with Pesty's Enhancement Pack.  I just needed to make sure I got SOMETHING stable and installed, and that was the way to do it.

But Pesty's pack as you know, has OP+ v4.0.  So using Firesoul's bootstrap list as a guide, I also dl'd and using mod chooser, made OP+ v4.1.1 mod #3 in the mod chooser.

I figured out that Pesty's Enhancement Pack has EzINI 1.0, so it was easy to swap out on the three PCs for EzINI 2.0.

But I see on Firesoul's page SFC Missions Refit, meant to work with OP+ 4.1.1 at:
http://klingon.pet.dhs.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=SFC:OP_Missions_Refit (http://klingon.pet.dhs.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=SFC:OP_Missions_Refit)

If I install, will this REPLACE any mission scripts, or only add new ones?  And if I install it, how do I reconcile it with the Mod Chooser from Pesty's enhancement pack?  Should I load up OP+ v4.1.1 as the active mod via the mod chooser before installing Firesoul's SFC Missions Refit?  And can I go BACK to the unaltered missions (if this alters missions and not just adds them)?

Yes, but I'm unsure if I go the Mod Chooser route how to CONCURRENTLY choose OP+ v4.1.1, which is a DIFFERENT mod.  So I THINK it's only one mod at a time, even if the mod is a SCRIPT mod.

It's just that FS's mod is an executable, so I can't see what it does unless I let it install.

And I don't want to bork everything else.

I suspect it REPLACES scripts, reading FS's description, but can't tell for sure.  If it only puts new scripts in, then absolutely no worries. Was hoping I could get a confirm.
