Make sure you run BuildMD5.bat after adding new packages to XMP
NRK: You should put that in the readme
Locky...
You have touched on something that I am suspicious of on my computer. LONG AGO.... I ran a BuildMD5.BAT and it Killed my installation of XMP... (Guess I had a bad map). I since re-installed the game using the "crack"
This was the only option I had at the time because I was a beta tester and did no longer have my original download and user-key etc...
So... After I installed my "crack" copy... I have since downloaded MANY map packs.. and NOT a SINGLE time have I run a BuildMD5.bat.....
Can this be what has been KILLING my machine performance? I have fairly "great" hardware... but get a blinding 30fps on a fantastic day....
Granted, I have only got a 1.4Ghz processor, but I have 1Gb Pc333 Ram and a Radeon X800pro (256Mb) vid card. So now.... I may still die a lot from poor frames, but it LOOKS so f'n good....
Can the BuildMD5.bat... not being run.... affect the game play? Do I have hope in this line of pursuit to improve my gameplay? If not... what the heck does the dern Md5.bat thang do?
PLEASE somebody help me put this issue to rest in my mind lol. (Should I run the Md5 thing?).
When I have d/l map packs.. I have just unzipped em... and manually dropped the files into the appropriate folders... (I still have to d/l them later tho lol.. is THAT what md5 prevents?).
