Mumble broken? Won't switch/link

Post by Zoddom »

Hey,
my PR Mumble always worked, but when I last played it suddenly stopped switching me into the right channels and it doesnt show that its linked with bf2, no matter how often I restart it, bf2 etc. I even reinstalled it.
I've been told that I can switch myself via context menu, but I dont know what it is and I cant even find it (Options box is checked, but its just not in the menu bar).

Is that problem known? How can I get my mumble to work again?

sincerely

what changed since you last played/had mumble working?

Did you ever delete the BF2/PR intro videos? For some reason, mumble doesnt link if you delete those intro videos. Or, did you put in a "+restart 1" in the target box of the PR shortcut? I think that also breaks mumble linking.

aah right, i did actually deleted them, thanks for the tip, Ill try restoring them.

edit: damn, I really deleted them, I thought Id renamed them. Can someone upload the original files, or maybe its enough if I create some with the same name.

edit:

nevermind my problem is fixed. I just renamed the init.con and now it starts with the vanilla intro movies and mumble links again.


editeditedit:

.. now I get kicked for md5tool mismatch for the init.con. so now someone has to upload the original PR movie files and the init.con for me pls :(

The bold link below has the movies:

How to fix BF2 Linking if you altered/moved/deleted your PR intro splashscreen movies:

Many people had had troubles similar to the one below:

QUOTE=Tachidude"]For all those, who cannot get "Battlefield 2 linked" message check if you altered (deleted, change names) of files that are in BF2\mods\pr\movies. I've done this to get rid of intros for faster startup of PR, and new mumble cant link to PR. I started mumble and PR after a clean reinstall - "oh no, not those intros again..." but i looked at new mumble and saw that its now linked with BF2. Again I altered the files by changing their names (by adding "1" at the end) and mumble couldnt link. So for me its either no intros either mumbling. Hope it helps/QUOTE]

This is easily fixable WITHOUT having to uninstall and reinstall PR.

Option 1 is to redownload the original movies and place them back in BF2\mods\pr\movies directory.
QUOTE='[R-COM]MaSSive;1694220']Names are

Code: Select all

bss_intro.bik
menubg.bik
pr_intro.bik

Get them >here<[/indent]

Option 2 is to alter your start up parameters through a command line switch. Just put "+restart 1" in your PR shortcut without the "", such as below:

QUOTE=SterrUwe321;1694579]XP BUG FIX!

Like the guy above me said, there's a bug with the auto-connect.
If you have deleted/or renamed the Movies in the folder:
C :P rogramms/EA/BF2/mods/pr/Movies

Mumble 1.0.0 won't be able to auto switch you into the right Channel!

In my case, i had to uninstall PR and reinstall it again (Yeah im a fool and deleted the Intro Movies).
But that way you can fix the bug!

And how another guy above me said: Just put "+restart 1" in your PR shortcut without the ""
Rightclick on your PR shortcut ->

This allows you to still avoid the annoying Intros ^^/QUOTE
