Need a little help with T34 vs Tiger

So i am sure i am beating a dead horse here but i could use a little help getting t34 vs tiger to run correctly done a lot of searching and tried all the normal solutions. The game starts fine goes through the light house interactive intro then crashes, The game is torrent copy of course since the game is no longer available for purchase as far as i can see. Tried replacing the files with the one that comes in the 14 MB patch no luck either However maybe i am not patching the game right. I had it running fine on a older limited Windows XP computer but i have since built a new rig here are the specs WIN 7 P AMD 955 Quad core Clocked to 4.0 GHZ, Corsair Liquid cooled, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, Nvidia Evga 460 GTX graphics card overclocked with Evga Precision, Dual screens, Its a great game and would love to have it running especially to check out the new ZeeWolf mods thanks to all in advance i am sure everyone here is tired of this kinds of stuff

dude PM me you will needa files to get it running. Also send me a skype request and I can send you the files through that. I will send you my skype details via pm.

You will need the following files added to your instal

msvci70.dll
msvcp71.dll
msvcr70.dll
msvcr71.dll
d3dx9_30.dll
d3dx9_41.dll

Also TvT does not like running with dual/multiple screens

It will run on win 7 we have many players using it on win 7

Thank you so much for your reply PM sent! Yeah it's a game sad the developer went under! Good to see there are still some people playing it!

I have emailed the files to you dude

Thank you very much your information is very helpful!

i know i sure wish that it would of been i am going to try and get it running now since i have made it back to the computer i will let you know what i find!

ok so i copied the files you send me into just the general tvt (x86) file on the (C:) drive then i switched off my second screen and attempted to start the game as soon as i clicked on the application i get a error message saying could not load splash screen bit map and the program crashed thank you for your help!

With Vista, I had to put the TvT install in the windows "Games folder" so it would run....you could give that a try.

full path on Vista 64 bit system is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\T34vsTiger I suspect it's the same with Win7 64 bit system.

tried merging a 14 MB tvt patch i found a link to on Google still no luck same error!!

Thank you slomo i will try this now!

I would like to give a special word of thanks to VAseMKIII for the files he sent me! and Slomo with his further instructions! I used the files VAseMKIII sent me and installed TvT in the windows game directory like like Slomo suggested and the game now runs great! I am going to try and install the Free ZeeWolf mod now. Is there any other Mods i should know about?? Thanks again all!

the ZeeWolf Mod did not work the installer would not create a file oh well i am just happy to have the game working! However that zeewolf mod cleaned up a lot of the game bugs as well as made the tigers engine sound much more realistic. if anyone has any ideas i would be very thankful?

Bronco

What error did you get from the zeewolf mod when you tried to install it?

We have the MMP 7 mod which adds realistics engine and gun sounds and really squashes a lot of bugs in the game and also makes it just about playable in MP.

Would you be interested in giving it a try?

I got a could not create a folder I do not remember the exact file it could not create I can get it once I get home for the day. Yes I would be very interested in any mods that you might have! thank you!

I will get murkz to forwad the link for the MMP7 download

Thanks man that would be great! looking forward to it!

all you have to do is create another folder for another instance of the game, unzip the contents of zip file to it and copy and paste the tvt exe from your curent install and the the dlls I sent you in to the new instance game directory and you should be up and running.

Thanks a lot VAseMKIII i will download it and give it a shot at running it. I appreciate you getting me in touch with this download. Ill let you know how it goes!

I would be happy to leave more feedback on the beta mod in a directed place if there is one. However i will say that i was very impressed with the mod for the two short missions i played. Sound is huge for me and this mod make the sounds so much more realistic as well as the AI seems to be greatly improved things look better and flow better at first glance other things! I can tell that a lot of time and effort was put into its making, I am impressed those involved did a great job! Thanks Vase and Murkz for your help and access to this great mod!

Bronco you are more than welcome, it is still only a beta there are more updates in 2.75 but these are more code improvments and fixes for the MP side of things.

The ballistics for the 34 are being looked at as well as the engine burnout time.

We are hard at work on trying to make the AI tanks playable, but this is a long way off we are also in the throws of getting in new models in to the game, but this has a long development path too.

We are all doing this in what little spare time we have, but we still keep comming back to it like a moth to the flame . There is a whole cast of individuals that are are involved Snorri is responsible for the skins on the tig and 34, Sid did the sounds, Jeff and me fiddle with the code, Jeff fiddles with the shadow and lighting effects, Puffy fiddles with the piercing scripts and vehicle scripts,Ghost, Hodi, Ohec, Grinch, KaptQ try to break the thing once we have tweaked it and NSU makes fantastic maps (unfortunatlely NSU is now working on Cliffs of Dover but he does stay in touch from time to time). Jeff also makes fantastic models. We also have access to another modeller too Vex but he is currently mainly engaged on I44 and the newest member of the team is norrin who is a coder and has been mainly involved in ARMA, but is helping us out with the model import and export tools, although he has some work to finish on ARMA at the mo.

Well thanks again for getting me in touch with that download. All of you have done a great job i am just glad people are interested in this game and are actively making it better. I am a big WW2 Armour fan so i am always glad to see a more realistic interpretation. I was happy to read about the new models in the game that would be very cool. I would be happy to help out anyway i can even though i am not much of a programer, More of a hardware guy. I would be happy to take part in helping test any other mods your team has in the works just let me know. I actively play ARMA 2 as well and was a fan of that series back when Codemasters and Bohemia interactive were teamed up on Operation Cold War Crisis years back. This a very helpful forum i am glad i ran across it! Thanks again for helping me get the game up and running!

Thanks for the reply another happy tanker, you will find that a few of us play the same games you do beside TvT, ARMA for oneand any help is appriciated
