Hoss, whatever you want to call it, you first have to locate your installation directory. It might be c:\Program Files\Smokin' Guns. If it isn't, I'd search for directories containing smokinguns*.exe or I'd right-click on your SG icon to check the properties to see, to which directory and file the link is actually pointing to.Mart Duggan wrote:When i extract the 1.1b4 files, where do I put them? Please don't tell me the installation folder, there is nothing titled "installation folder". There are 11 addresses inside the smokin guns file in program files, but I don't know which one to put it in, or do I just put it in the SG folder alongside the others.
You would have to merge the files and directory structure inside the SG1.1b4 zip file with your SG installation directory such that the smokinguns_dedicated.mingw32-crosscompiled.exe, which is contained in the zip file, is extracted to c:\Program Files\Smokin' Guns\ while the smokinguns\sg_sounds1.pak file is extracted to c:\Program Files\Smokin' Guns\smokinguns\sg_sounds1.pak[/i], for example../baseq3
./baseq3/pak0.pk3
./SDL.dll
./sg_48.png
./smokinguns
./smokinguns/alamo1.pk3
./smokinguns/default.cfg
./smokinguns/demos
./smokinguns/joekarimat1.pk3
./smokinguns/q3config.cfg
./smokinguns/qconsole.log
./smokinguns/server.cfg
./smokinguns/sg_maps0.pk3
./smokinguns/sg_pak0.pk3
./smokinguns/sg_sounds.pk3
./smokinguns/sg_textures0.pk3
./smokinguns.exe
./smokinguns_dedicated.x86
It probably has something to do with viewsize. Please set seta cg_viewsize "100" in console or max out the slider at Settings -> System -> Other -> Screen Size.Mart Duggan wrote:In version1.0 when I run the game it doesn't fill the screen, there are bars on each side. Is this fixed when I install 1.1b4?
This reads like you were missing access rights to the SG directory. You could try to use your administrator account to copy the files. I suggest to install or move SG to a different directory outside c:\Program Files\ anyway, since Windows 7 has this some built-in protection system regarding directories inside c:\Program Files\, which conflicts with the way SG works. I suggest to use c:\Games\Smokin' Guns\.Mart Duggan wrote:When I try to extract the file into the SG folder I get error messages, "cannot open output file C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Smokin'Guns\smokinguns_dedicated.exe" and 28 more like that.
This sound like you had to manually type in the path into 7Zip? There must be an option to graphically pick a path.Mart Duggan wrote:The 7zip does not give you the option to browse your computer to find a file, but I don't think I am typing it in wrong.
