Please stop copying Starfighter.

Hi there,
I've downloaded the LHA set and unextracted all the files on a HDD partition on my A1200 (Wow, that was a lot of files...).
PS: I had to get the latest version of LHA for the extraction process to work...

I've installed from those files (Just the game without patches for now) onto a seperate HDD partition, and when I came to run the game, I was asked for the name of my system drive. When I tried to enter WB3.0 (Since WB3.0: is my system drive) I found I couldn't type the . in! Nooooooo!

I've had to enter a alternative name, and, suffice to say using a assign doesn't work, and changing the system drive name to that which I entered creates more errors than I know what to do with (Due to assigns, mainly).

DrewFX: Are there any settings files that I could tweak with CygnusED to fix this problem?

Thanks,
Hodgkinson.

Right. I've found the file in WB3.0:S/ and altered it for the WB3.0: system drive.

Next problem: The RAD drive boot priority (0) is lower than that of the system drive (5). Any ideas how I can patch the game to give the RAD drive a higher boot priority, say, 6?

Then: Running the game by forcing the RAD drive to boot with the boot menu, without any patches at this point in time, keeps on generating "File not found" errors. Inspecting with SnoopDOS revels that, for some reason, that the "Executeable" is looking in the root of the drive that Starfighter is installed to for the program files, rather than in the drawer where Starfighter is installed to. (Eg, OTHER:geologo/geologo.001 rather than OTHER:Starfighter/geologo/geologo.001)

In order to try to fix this, I've applied the SF_PATCH1_Redux.lha patch to the game (The original uploaded file diddn't extract for me, either).
Having updated the files, the "executeable" is reported as being non-executeable!  :crazy:

Ideas? (DrewFX, a walk-through of the patches would be appreciated! PS. I substituted a few files into where Starfighter was looking for them and I must say it looks like a really nice game...)

I'd also like to patch the clickstop util that I have into the Starfighter startup if theres enough chipram left.
