Description

From Battleforge Site: "Welcome to the Renegade Edition! Here you will find cards that alter your perception of the BattleForge Universe and seemingly bend its natural laws to near breaking point! Gone are the days where cards were limited to one single Orb color; Dual Orb cards have now come into play in the form of the Bandit and Stonekin factions. In addition to this, “Affinities” have been introduced to bring a taste of other colors to your deck and allow you to fine tune it to your specific needs and exacting standards. Dual Orb Cards: Dual Orb cards require players to have Orbs of two specific colors before they will be able to play the card. This potentially makes the cards a bit more difficult to play, but it adds some extra spice and gives you interesting new ways to master a map and improve your deck's dynamics. Factions: For generations, the Bandits have ruled the roost in the Wastelands. That is of course until now! The Stonekin have entered the Wastelands, seeking their Master’s treasure and the Bandits see this as a challenge to their lands! The introduction of Dual Orb cards has brought with it two new factions, Bandits and Stonekin. The Bandits' Dual Orb cards require you to have both a Fire and Shadow Orbs, while the Stonekin’s Dual Orb cards require you to have both Frost and Nature Orbs. Affinities: With the introduction of affinities, certain cards now carry additional abilities that would not typically be associated with their color. Cards which have a Nature ability are described as being “Gifted”, cards with Frost abilities are considered “Blessed”, cards with a Fire ability are “Infused” and cards that have a Shadow ability will be called “Tainted”. Legendary units: Some of the distinctive characters you already know from the Renegade campaign make their comeback to join forces with you once again. Command Rogan, Viridya and Mo to lay waste upon your enemies and victory will be yours! Random Map Generator: Do you want to chill out for a bit and just play on a map where pre-planned map strategies cannot be employed? Well, the Random Map Generator sounds like just the thing for you. With this tool, the game will create new maps for you to play each time you choose to play a Randomly Generated Map!"

Updating Battleforge - Solution
by Eric on Sunday March 24th 2013, 4:50

One thing that caused me a lot of problems was updating Battleforge. The way I got around this problem was by using a virtual machine to update Battleforge, then using Wine to play it. First, I installed Battleforge using Wine. Second, I set up shared folders in the VM to point to the wine C drive. Third, I ran the Battleforge launcher in the VM and let it update. In order to run the updater, though, you first need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 redistributable on your VM. After this, launching Battleforge using Wine should check for updates, see that it is up-to-date, then run. Performance is quite good -- better than Starcraft II with my Radeon HD 5650 using Catalyst 13.3.

Update script: Mac
by Lukas Tenbrink on Wednesday November 3rd 2010, 13:07

Hey guys,

If I start the update, it says:
"ERROR: Program md5sum is missing! Aborting...
Try: 'sudo apt-get install coreutils'"
Of course, md5sum is something only Linux has. Is there any other solution for me? Maybe something that matches md5sum on mac?

Thanks in before,

Ivorius

when starting battleforge (bootstrapper, patcher, battleforge.exe doesn't matter), the updater says "update failed" and the bf_log.txt file contains the following - tried both servers (overlord and razorleaf) and also tried with a different update-server (eu.llnet... or asia.llnet...):

especially the line "fixme:winsock:WSAIoctl unsupported WS_IOCTL cmd (9800000c)" seems the be important and may be the reason for not working.

using wine 1.1.38 and also used the update-script provided below (31st of January)

any suggestions? even tried the game with firewall disabled and so on, but as the update-script works, i thought the game would as well :/

ps: removed somes multiple lines and added [Nx...] with N being the number of line repetitions

No server available
by Tomislav Potesak on Monday March 1st 2010, 21:52

When running battleforge i cant log in, because it says that the servers are down. I think there is a problem with this release of wine...

Anyone got it working maybe?

Used 1.1.39

New Update Script
by Massimo Parrino on Sunday January 31st 2010, 10:27

www.pastie.org/802894

Here is a new update script for BattleForge.

It runs from any location,
automatically checks for your update server settings in the settings.ini
and supports the following parameters:

"-low" check for low texture, game and sound file updates [default]
"-high" check high texture, game and sound file updates
"-editor" check for editor file updates only
"-all" check all files (this may take some time!)
"-help" displays the supported parameters

I've run BattleForge through terminal and found interesting line:

For interested here are adjacent lines:

I have no idea what sort of library is that. Maybe it's needed to support keyboard? What do you think about it?

Update script
by benny z. on Thursday July 16th 2009, 5:24

I optimized the update script so it is a lot faster now. For installing BattleForge or to check all files you should call the script with the option "-c" to force a md5sum-check on all files.

Black Screen
by arno_nuem on Wednesday July 1st 2009, 4:35

When I start up BattleForge all I get is a black screen.

At the first startup BattleForge told me that my Nvidia drivers are too old (just installed them via module-assistant) and I just skipped this error message.

I can also hear the sound of the intro videos and see my mouse cursor, but the screen is black·

Theis shot above was made when switching between the work spaces:
yfrog.com/0vbildschirmfoto3p
But I dont know if this helpes.

Using Debian Lenny and Wine 1.1.24 (+Nvidia 8800GTS)

works if you grab the patch else where
by Andreas Jendrzey on Sunday April 12th 2009, 14:51

The demo works (with some graphic bugs) if you are able to download the patch from a windows machine. Then copy & paste the patched game and run via wine.

You will also need the d3dx9_36.dll.
