Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
The link to the What If - root files is not working.
Normal people believe that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it isn't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
The difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers is:
Mechanical Engineers build weapons.  Civil Engineers build targets
An optimist sees the glass half full; the pessimist sees it half empty. An engineer sees that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
Well, it should work without the latest media_vps - it just advise it to be sure. And your build should be up-to-date anyway. :p

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
SF-Junky, I highly recommend you try running your build under a debug version of the SCP.  I'm getting dozens of warnings and assertions when I start it up.  There are also several missing textures on some of the ships.

 
Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
Same, I can't even get the campaign to start up, crashes FS everytime.  Says it can't load explo.anim

Shouldn't What If be in the Port folder as well?  Otherwise it won't know where to get the main hall and such.

Warnings and assertions like that beamgun thing I postet a while ago? http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,55809.msg1127932.html#msg1127932

I realized some time ago that I can't run that mod in debug mode, but since nobody couldn't answer the question back then and it always worked just perfectly in normal mode, I decided to no longer care about this. And since my beta tester got it running without probs as well I considered that a workable solution. ;)

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
No, I get different warnings.  Stuff like "cannot find Hornet#Weak in the weapon loadout" which means that you deleted it from weapons.tbl but forgot to delete it from the ship loadout.  Stuff like missing LODs on the weapons.  Stuff like... missing textures. :sigh:

If you have questions, I suggest you post in the Support forum.  It's much better to get rid of all the warnings and assertions before you release the campaign. ;)

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
Great campaign so far, I'm enjoying ever second of it, but now I have a problem after the mission "The Ambush" when you
Spoiler:
are asked to join the GTI.
When I click continue, I get this:
Error: Couldn't open mission 'AGWloop1-01.fs2'

File: missionparse.cpp
Line: 6256


Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------

And then the game crashes. This is the first bug that I have run into in this campaign.
If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
just a question SF-Junky  what build are you using, maybe some problems can be solved by using the same build.

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
All of the AGWloop1 and AGWLoop2 missions are missing from your VP files.  I'm using the latest build of FSOpen 3.6.10 and the 3.6.10 Beta MediaVPs and have not had any of the other parsing errors.  I did have to change the Mod ini file to correspond to my fsport file some of the errors people are getting sound like they might have the wrong file name for the secondary mods.  The others are because of the missing mission files
