Full changelog for 1.5.0

All-In-One 1.5 Update Package (2012-01-04)

The update package contains everything needed to upgrade Battlezone 1.0-1.4 to 1.5:

• Assets from the Official 1.4 Patch (minus broken NSDF Grizzly model)
• Large Asset Pack
• Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) Installer
• DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer
• Registration entries for enabling the Indeo codecs on Windows Vista and Windows 7
• Release Executable (version 1.5.0.120)
• Updated Assets (2011-10-13)
• Recompiled Anet library (NOTE: incompatible with BZ 1.4)
• Updated label.map (2011-09-01)
• Updated render.cfg (preconfigured for modern systems)
• Broadband net.ini (2011-09-25)
• Xbox 360 controller configuration
• Updated input.map (binds weapon_special to middle mouse button)
• Bootserv.txt (built from Dan Kegel's master server list)

Until I get a proper installer working, here's how to install the update:

1. Start with a working Battlezone installation
2. Rename (or delete) the "splash" and "addon" folders
3. Unpack the 1.5 update archive into your Battlezone installation, allowing it to replace files
4. Run vcredist_x86.exe, the Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable (x86) Installer
5. Run dxwebsetup.exe, the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer
6. On Windows Vista or Windows 7, run indeo_win32.reg (32-bit) or indeo_win64.reg (for 64-bit OS) to enable the Indeo codecs
7. If starting from a pristine retail install:
   • Option 1: unpack servers.dat into your Battlezone installation
   • Option 2: delete servers.dat and let Anet regenerate it from bootserv.txt

Once the game is working, check the difficulty setting under Play Options since the values have changed since 1.4.
