Can't Get Fleet Orders Mod To Work. Help Anyone.

[dEjavU]

I know I have all the requirements to make this run cause I also have Defiants' add ships mod installed(among a few other mods)and that one ran great everytime I install it but for some reason the fleet orders tab just wont show up in-game everytime I try to install this mod,  I've been trying to get this mod to work for a long time with no success. Please can anyone help me out? I pulled these off the comment section on the download page for this mod.......

Gotta have this mod! BUT... I've got the new QBR installed, and the Engineering 0.3, and I've got nothing. There is no mutator button for the Engineering mod, and no fleet orders. Anything else I'm missing? Suggestions?

Thanks!

I'm sorry I'm such an idiot.... but I was running it from the "TestMode" icon that came up with the QBR installation... When I run it from the normal exe, I have the mutator for the Engineering Extension, but then the load screen disapears leaving me with a blank screen halfway through the load. I can get back to the main menu with Esc, but I can't access Quickbattle.

Should I be running it from TestMode or the normal exe?

Try to install the latest QBR available here:

if it still doesn't work also install this file:

....unfortunately the post's were of very little help. I always run my BC insatall's with the same stock icon I have on my desktop and I rarely use the test mode(only for when I play the missions). I tried installing what Defiant suggested(both of them)but I still couldn't see any tab for the fleet orders in-game. Can anyone offer any other suggestions as to how I can get this mod to work. I really really must have this mod and knowing that it's there but I'm not able to install it is like have an itch on my back that I can't scratch no matter what I do.....Please help!

Just get a console report from the place were you are expecting it to show up.

Okay, here you go. I'm not sure if it says anything pertaining to that mod though.....



..here's how I currently have my install right now.......

1. BC

2. BC 1.1 Patch

3. Foundation(from BCUT)

4. QBAutostart 0.9

5. Nano FX2(Beta)

6. Submenu v3.7

7. BCS: The Begining

......here's how my mutators look and which ones I have turned off....



....I don't have a mutator for the engineering extention(from one of the links Defiant provided). The closest mutator I can relate to is this located under The Begining mod..



....from the one picture that came with the Extended Fleet Orders mod, it clearly shows that the fleet orders tab can be found under the helmesman(F1)and yet no matter how many times I install this mod I'm just not seeing any....

I can't help with your problem, but the Engineering mutator you're looking for is the "QBAutostart Extension" mutator, the first one in the second pic. Defiant changed the name after it evolved beyond a mere extension for Brex's menu.

Could you just start QB, go to Helm and then get a console report?

No need to setup a game.

Right sorry, here you go.....

Install a mod called QuickBattleReplacement, or the lastest QuickBattleAutostart, both should contain it.

I installed the QB 2.3(contained allot of files I didn't have)had the files extracted to a seperate folder and copied and pasted each file from there, then I went PYC file hunting for each of those files that were over-written. Ran the game in QB test mode and It works beautifuly! YEEESS!!! Thanks allot MLeo!
