Confused about installation...

Post by cb2001 »

Hey all!

So, after a long time, I'm wanting to play Trespasser again.

I have my CD, the 1.1 official patch, the CE patch and the HD textures.

I just can't work out how it all goes together.

Please can anyone help me out here :lol:

Here's what I did:

1. Copied all the files from the cd to a directory on my HDD and removed my CD
2. Installed Trespasser from HDD (Full Installation)
3. Installed official 1.1 patch
4. Installed CE patch. Extracted Tpas-ce and Contrib to install directory
5. Installed HD Pack. Extracted texhw to the Data directory of the HDD CD directory

So...is this right, is there a better way to do this, I've read about portable installs and bits but theres so much conflicting info out there.

Cheers peeps!

Welcome to TresCom!

Is there something that is not working? From what I can tell you have done it correctly.

A portable install is basically that you use the demo to make it portable. It uses the tpass.ini instead of the registry to work as a portable installation, and you put the contents of the /data folder on the CD into the /data folder of the demo, and replace any file it asks to. :)

Between 3 and 4, you're missing one step:

3.5: Run the Trespasser executable and configure the options.
