Vision of the future 2

Why is it that VotF2's exe is so.... dysfunctional.... whereas all the others work great? VotF1 even got a remix to add a bunch of profiles... so why didn't Votf2 get a remix as well? As far as I know, its the only version of VotF that doesn't have the custom profile for xaax, and the custom graphics for the black dream. However, what really bugs me is the missing buttons and stuff which force me at times to use cheats to get through a level.
Surely its possible to fix this with thundergraft or firegraft.... right? I'd really like to play the campaign the way its supposed to be played

It requires Brood War v1.09b. It took me a while to figure out the correct version.

Any idea how to downgrade to that version? SCDowngrader doesn't seem to do anything and BWAI downgrader doesn't have that version.

Try bajadulce's downgrader (check SEN, don't has link).

You mean BWAI downgrader? I told you, it doesn't have version 1.09b
Edit:
Managed to get V 1.09b, but still, missing buttons. I remeber reading a year or two ago that it only works on win98

Yeah, Black Dream was big on StarDraft and the original version needs Win98 to run. I thought that RCX upgraded all his stuff to MemGraft at one point (maybe it was just the Zeji Mod), but I have no idea what's actually on CC right now (considering that The Fenix got downgraded to a SECWAD at some point. Don't know if that's been fixed yet).
EDIT: Further investigation reveals that what it currently uploaded to CC is the original StarGraft patch, but the page implies that there is a MemGraft patch which would work fine with v1.10 on a computer with WinXP if only we could find it.

There is one, but it crashes immediately after the title screen.

there is also a stargraft patch to be used for generating a memgraft patch, but I can't figure out how to make the damn thing work.

Had that problem with either 1.08b or 1.10 (the other version of those 2 didn't start at all). It worked with 1.09b.

oh now I see, ok I'll try that now
Edit:
ok, it worked flawlessly. Unfourtunately, its a big mess now since I have two SC installations now. one of which require an iso.

This is why I hate these stupid button patches.
Further note though, that VotF 2 works just fine without the button mods; it was actually designed around it assuming the buttons were not going to work.
And no, I have no idea what versions of what are uploaded. I stopped keeping track after I stopped taking care of the site.

If you want ask me I made FireCraft version of the all 4 VotF even Mekani, which it's patch is in this topic
http://www.campaigncreations.org/forum/index.php?topic=1450.0 which I had to remake due to it not on the site anymore.
They all work fine for me for Starcraft current version that Firecraft uses.
I have all of his patches if you cant find one also I can tweaked it to work best it can. although some the things are unused I seen in couple of his patches most likely due them not working correctly like Protoss Elders in VotF4 to build protoss buildings...
As long there is no problem with me giving them out it oh and yea my remake of Mekani patch not as exact as his but it's real close to it!
