Forgot a bit of information (it's in the readme but I forgot to put it into the posting here suicidal.gif )

 

so...

Of course it is not necessary to have all the supported scripts. Just ignore all instructions related to scripts you don't have or don't want to use. If you select unexisting scripts in the program, you'll get an error message and nothing will be changed. wink.gif

 

...great to hear it works for you, Plaka smile.gif

If you have version 2 then you can't preform version 1 savegames whit just the scripts. I have heard that you can downgrade your version to version 1 but because that is illegal, it can't be discussed on this forum.

From the Instructions:

  • You don't *have* to use *all* the supported scripts - just ignore folders/files you are not going to use.

     

  • (...) unzip 'sa_scriptchange.bat' to any convenient location

     

Hope this helps smile.gif

hehe, don't worry mate :-)

 

The only thing is, 'sa_scriptchange.bat' will write a label file into the folder it is run from so you need to have writing permissions for that folder. Bearing that in mind you can put 'sa_scriptchange.bat' anywhere you like and run it from there.

 

For speed reasons I'd suggest you read that as "anywhere on your hard drives" although USB stick or diskette would theoretically also work.

 

Good luck on the 'downgrading' and thanks for the interest in the scriptchanger. smile.gif

I'm not 100% sure about this, but as far as I know all that script changing only works for San Andreas v1. I can really only quote:

 

If you have version 2 then you can't perform version 1 savegames with just the scripts.

My scriptchanger only exchanges the script files in the /data/script folder and doesn't do anything else to the game. Since I myself have v1 I'm afraid I don't know anything about that downgrader patch or what it actually does, sorry... :-|

Well when i first install my game it has the little 2.00 thing at the bottom meaning my game is version 2 and when i try to play the online multiplayer games it doesnt work.

 

But when i installl the downgrader patch the 2.00 mark goes away meaning my game is now version 1 and also i can now play the multiplayer games online.

 

So my game version must be version 1 now becuase i have installed the downgrader.

Sadly, I cant get this to work :s . The label file "current-install-xx.ini" just wont appear . Ive provided a screen capture so you can correct me if ive done something wrong ? user posted image

 

Edit : I realised i accidently called hot coffee HV in the screen shot instead of HC, I changed the name but it still does not work.

@Seddo: Sorry for missing your last posting for so long blush.gif Still I'm afraid I can't help you. I don't know what this 'downgrading' actually does to your game. I can only guess that a downgraded v2 game is in essence still a v2 game (with some files exchanged?) and that's why the scripts don't work. This program really only swaps the script files in ...\data\script\ around so if that copying works but your game won't, then the provided script files are incompatible with your version of the game. Sorry. confused.gif

 

@0mfg0rz: Are you sure you have write access in ..\data\script\ ? Do you actually run the sa_scriptchange.bat file from the ..\data\script\ folder itself or do you have a shortcut/windows-link pointing at it that you double-click? If so, does the label-file appear in the folder that contains this link? Does the scriptchanger give you any error messages when you run it? Do scripts actually get exchanged (you can check with the filesizes)? ...just for your information, you don't have to bury the sa_scriptchange.bat into the ..\data\script\ folder, you can put that anywhere you like, for example the folder you keep all your other gta-related things in (maps, tools, id-converter, whatever...).

OK thanks for the detailed response icon14.gif

 

1) Yes I do run the .bat from the script folder

 

2) Yes it does give an error

3) No the scripts do not get exchanged

This has nothing to do with the problem, but you still might want to run it from a more convenient place...

 

2) Yes it does give an error  (...)

3) No the scripts do not get exchanged

The error you've posted indicates that the installation path of the game can't be read from your registry. There's a couple of possible reasons this could happen, but first here's a quick workaround. Open the sa_scriptchange.bat with a text editor, e.g. notepad.exe, and in the section 'STANDARD PATHS' (quite near the beginning) replace this

for /f "skip=2 tokens=3*" %%G in ('reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{D417C96A-FCC7-4590-A1BB-FAF73F5BC98E} /v InstallLocation') do set GAMEPATH="%%G %%H"

by this

set GAMEPATH="C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto San Andreas"

 

(I've read your path from the screenshot in your other posting)

 

As for why your path can't be read by the .bat file:

 

a) Maybe you didn't install your game properly and it's not in your registry at all.

b) Maybe your game comes with a different application code than my v1, which has

 

{D417C96A-FCC7-4590-A1BB-FAF73F5BC98E}

 

 

Now if you're sure you have a proper install and if you have the patience and only if you absolutely know what you're doing, could you please check out your registry and see if the game is in there? If so, would you please let me know what code it registered with and exactly what version of the game you're running? Thanks.

 

If, however,

c) you're running a pirated copy of the game, then I'm afraid to say all support has to end here, for this is strictly against this forum's policy.

 

 

Hope this helps icon14.gif

Thanks for your time anyway..

@Seddo: In addition to what I said in my last post - I just did an SnP for someone who runs a 'downgraded v2' like you. To do this, I *had* to use the v2 scripts.

 

@0mfg0rz: I'm sorry to hear you paid money for a possibly dodgy version...

Proudly announcing -- new version v0.4 released

 

A quick "what's new":

• changed the way the game's path will be read from the registry (dropped using the GUID due to rare bug reports and Wolf68k's invaluable input)

• updated support for Spaceeinstein's All In One Mod to the current version v2.6

 

Also, I finally came round to give the instructions and the presentation a bit of an overhaul.

--> see it all in the edited top of thread

 

As usual - please use, comment, improve, enjoy smile.gif

No, this program is *not* for running more than one mod at a time, and I don't know if that's possible at all or not, sorry... All this program does is copy a few files around, so that you don't have to do it manually. At the moment it only supports v1 / v2 / v1+Hot Coffee / Spaceeinstein' All In One Mod.

Does it (or Can it) support v2.9 of Spaceinstein Mod?

Sorry for the delay, I've been away for a couple of weeks.

No, spaceeinstein v2.9 is not yet supported. That'll be the next version v0.42, hope I can make that within the next couple of days.
