Launching Missions
Installation
Install Battlezone to the default directory.
Download the Official Battlezone 1.4 Patch (3.73Mb) and install it.
If you do not have the Flash Player software on your system already, install it from http://www.macromedia.com/downloads/.
Extract the Last of the Galilean zip file to your Battlezone directory.
In your Battlezone directory you'll find a file called lotg.html. Open this to play the mod.
The User Interface
The Last of the Galilean menu system is based on a combination of Macromedia's Flash, and a collection of Batch Files. This is a fairly unusual system, but should be compatible with everybody's systems, and should be fairly easy to get running. There are four very important points that must be raised concerning the interface...
Whenever you make a selection in the interface and an option box appears, always select 'Run this program from it's current location'.
Do not exit the program by clicking the
at the top right of your browser! Exit the interface by clicking the QUIT GAME button in the main menu. This restores your directories so you can play regular Battlezone without uninstalling the mod.
If you accidentally exit by clicking the
and forget to use QUIT GAME, just run the LOTG menus again and exit in the correct way.
The Menu
'The Dogs of War': Click on this button to play the Black Dog campaign, in which there are seven missions.
'The Red Brigade': Select this to play the CCA campaign, which contains four missions.
'Multiplayer': Click to play LOTG's multiplayer component.
'Manual': Click to read what you're reading now.
You can click 'Next' or 'Back' to choose the mission you want to play in each campaign, and then click 'Launch Mission'. This does mean you can play the missions in any order you want, but I recommend you play each mission before moving onto the next to be able to follow the story and rising difficulty.
