Keep checking for the new patch coming soon ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 What's the difference between your portable and original Dune 2000, because I am already using a portable Dune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntlord6 Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 What's the difference between your portable and original Dune 2000, because I am already using a portable Dune.The technology used is different, the old technology was a bit crude, but the new version is 100mb larger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2k Sardaukar Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hey, I liked the old portable. :) It was just a simple compressed file, now I can't change/edit the files. >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruntlord6 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hey, I liked the old portable. :) It was just a simple compressed file, now I can't change/edit the files. >:(Lol, that is the point of portable, its not supposed to be extractable, that defeats the point. But one of the problems with the old portable was the saves were stored in the temporary file of windows, not a great solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruntlord6 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Share Posted April 23, 2010 Then it is pretty useless for me too.Well, if you absolutely need that, copy the GruntMods edition folder to a usb stick and delete the movies folder. This should make a version that is smaller and can be modified, but is not truly portable as its size is uncompressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 IMO, it is not the size that makes a 'portable'. Now USB sticks have plenty of Gigs. It suffices to run without installation and messing with registry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suffices to run without installation and messing with registry.Well I thought about that, I have a 4 gig now myself, but I also took into consideration the fact that I was using a 512 mb usb stick for 2 months and others might be in a similar situation.The "Portable Edition" Is not intended for modding purposes, but for gameplay on the go.That said, I have the old download available: http://dune.gruntmods.com/Dune/Dune%202000%20Portable.rar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

athanasios Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Someone told me that your portable version is tested and running under Windows 8. ;-)BTW I noticed a VM logo, are you running through a Virtualized OS (Win98 or Linux?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have no doubt that it works with windows 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
