Beery Super Patch Version 2: (for easier reading, click on 'Edit', then select 'Word Wrap' in the pull-down menu). This patch fixes a number of inconsistencies in Red Baron 2 and adds some features. The changes reflect the historical data concerning units and aces in the game. IMPORTANT: please note that some of the changes included in this patch may adversely affect campaigns in progress (in short, there are no guarantees). This patch is in no way supported or endorsed by Sierra or Dynamix. It is an unofficial patch intended purely to enhance everyone's enjoyment of the game. The patch is intended for use with Red Baron 3D, either the 3D boxed version, or the RB2 version with the 'Super Patch'. The patch works best in conjunction with von Tom's Campaign Manager. Later versions of RB3D, and unofficial versions, may not work with 'Single Missions'. This cannot be helped. In order for a 'Single Mission' to work properly, it must be created using the exact same version of the game used to play it. Please do not mix BSP with any other major unofficial patch. Any patch which includes any of the following: (except.dat, filelist.dat, pilots.dat, squadron.dat) is not cross-compatible with any other patch which includes those same files. The only exception to this rule is the CMaddon patch, which must be used with the similarly numbered BSP (i.e. use 'CM add-on 2.0' with 'BSP2.0'). Other patches that do not include the aforementioned data files can be used with BSP with no adverse effects. ---------------------------- Installation instructions for players using Campaign Manager (recommended): If you use Campaign Manager (recommended): Unzip the patch to the Sierra\RedBaronII\cmbeta10\patches folder. Then, 'add' the 'Beery20' patch to the list of 'patches in use'. After successful installation, the version number of the patch will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of the game's loading screen. If you do NOT use Campaign Manager: Unzip the patch to the Desktop. Rename the 'Beery20' folder 'Data', then open the 'RedBaronII' folder, and drag the new 'data' folder into the 'RedBaronII' (or if you have the RB3D boxed version, 'RedBaron3D') folder. A box will appear, asking whether you want to replace existing files. Click on 'Yes to all'. After successful installation, the version number of the patch will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of the game's loading screen. ---------------------------- The Beery Superpatch supercedes UOPs 1.0 to 3.0, and is an alternative to Todd Comeau's Wingstrut patch. Details of BSP1 and BSP2 follow: ---------------------------- Beery Superpatch version 1.0 (Beery20 folder) Gunsight crosshairs added. To delete this feature, simply delete the 'RB2sight.inf' from the 'Data' folder. Kneeboard plane icon deleted. To restore, simply delete the 'planicon.pba' file from the 'shellpat' folder. Except.dat and filelist.dat restructured in an effort to improve framerate. As much as possible, the number of bitmaps has been minimised for (hopefully) faster scheme loading times. This is still a work in progress, so some of the listings have not yet been optimised. Various plane schemes added from version 3.0 and the CAG patch. New French squadron insignia by Tymophil.
