Overkill II .97ß to .98ß
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And it never fails, as the newest version has changes in its file structures!
However, your current .97b game does NOT need a reset. A program called
97-98FIX.EXE solves all of your problems! Read the following steps and take
note of how to convert successfully from your current .97 game to .98 version.
Step 1:
~~~~~~
Copy OOIIB98.ZIP into your current OOII game directory.
Step 2:
~~~~~~
Unzip the rest of the package into this directory. OVERWRITE any files
that already exist. Most likely, the new files have been changed so you
want the most recent ones from the ZIP package.
Step 3:
~~~~~~
Read the manuals: MANUAL.DOC (Sysop Manual), OOINFO.DOC (BBS-to-OOII Manual),
OOIITOP.DOC (Top10 Generator Manual), and EDITOOII.DOC (Editor Utility).
Step 4:
~~~~~~
Run the fix program of 97-98FIX.EXE from your Overkill directory. This will
convert your current game files into new structures which .98 requires. This
move should not hurt your current game.
Step 5:
~~~~~~
Run the configuration program, OOCONFIG.EXE. Check over the settings and
make sure you have everything correct to your standards. If you have
registered your copy, make sure that your BBS name and registration code
are correct.
Step 6:
~~~~~~
Test the game locally. From a DOS prompt, enter:
OOII local
...and the program will load locally. If any errors result, the game will
tell you what the problem is. If you need more information on the problem,
consult the manual.
Step 7:
~~~~~~
Test the game remotely. Have a user test the game out from over the modem
and see how it runs. If it exits without error, you have managed to upgrade
successfully to version .98ß! Congratulations.
Step 8:
~~~~~~
Last, but not least: Have fun!
