[eliex]

Awesome - great to have a backup of SCP. 
It seems like I've missed out playing a considerable number of campaigns too. 

[Jeff Vader]

Pardon the split, but I found it distracting to have five other posts between the first post and hip's other "FreeSpace Open soandso includes:" posts.

Also, question:

   FreeSpace Installer

Wuts that?

[hip63]

it's Turey's Installer (so you can check for updates from time to time)

hip63

[captain-custard]

has this fixed the scrambled mvps ?  

[portej05]

As I understand it, Turey's installer is currently not recommended for use (it likes to corrupt stuff) - has this changed?

[Jeff Vader]

it's Turey's Installer (so you can check for updates from time to time)

Ah. Well, a bit misleadingly named, since it doesn't install FreeSpace.

As I understand it, Turey's installer is currently not recommended for use (it likes to corrupt stuff) - has this changed?

If it had changed, I would have heard of it.

[hip63]

Updated the post with KNOWN ISSUES at the bottom and listed the FreeSpace Online Installer with a recommendation not to use it and instruction on how not to install it.

[Commander Zane]

Bah, I've had FreeSpace Addiction™ LONG ago.

[Vasudan Admiral]

Ooh excellent - this should make it much easier to hook friends on show friends FSO. Great job!

[jkalltheway]

question, How do i know if i need to install anything from here?

[hip63]

Well, everything included is listed in thread replies 1 & 2, so just compare to what you have I guess...

Okay, I am a n00b, but I thought I followed the directions well. I bought both FreeSpace 1 and 2 from gog.com. I installed FS2 to c:\games\FreeSpace 2. I then downloaded FREESPACE OPEN SCP OFF-LINE INSTALLER and installed that to the same directory as FreeSpace 2. I then opened up the launcher and went to mod and clicked select mod. I pointed it to the fsport-mediavps directory. In the mod window it now says:

"Freespace Port Media VPs.  Requires FSPort 3.1.1 and standard Media VPs 3.6.10."

When I click run I get a host of errors:

Error:
Web cursor bitmap not found.  This is most likely due to one of three reasons:
   1) You're running FreeSpace Open from somewhere other than your FreeSpace 2 folder;
   2) You've somehow corrupted your FreeSpace 2 installation, e.g. by modifying or removing the retail VP files;
   3) You haven't installed FreeSpace 2 at all.  (Note that installing FreeSpace Open does NOT remove the need for a FreeSpace 2 installation.)
Number 1 can be fixed by simply moving the FreeSpace Open executable file to the FreeSpace 2 folder.  Numbers 2 and 3 can be fixed by installing or reinstalling FreeSpace 2.

I cna run FreeSpace 2 okay, but anytime I try to run FreeSpace 1 port I cannot. Any ideas what is going wrong?

This should be pretty self-explanatory, and since you mentioned installing FS2, we can rule out #3. But,
- what build?
- did you apply the changes in the Launcher before running?

Also, select fs2_open_3_6_10d.exe, then run the game as far as you ca, or at most to the Main Hall. Then quit. There now is a file called fs2_open.log in your \freespace2\data\ folder. Post it here as an attachment or using the code tags or with help from pastebin.

Well, after a whole day of dl-ing the files I hopefully installed the package to my retail FS 2 (german version, freshly instaled, no additions) folder and launched the launcher.

1st error: something about some corrupted mediavps tbm´s. (unfortunatly THIS one I didn´t copy.)

So, having the trouble warnings about instalers and mediavps in mind, I dl-ed themost recent mediavps-complete and music seperately and exchanged them in my Freespace directory.  

2nd attempt:

Error: mv_strings-lcl.tbm is corrupt
File: localize.cpp
Line: 608

                                                                                       and also the debugger coldn´t help.   NO GAME  

HELP

[Jeff Vader]

Error: mv_strings-lcl.tbm is corrupt

Download. Extract to \freespace2\mediavps\ .

and also the debugger coldn´t help.

Probably not. It's more a feature for coders, not a magic button that solves problems.

Jeff Vader....

I downloaded the build from this thread.

Yes I did select apply before running.

Lastly, I tried fs2_open_3_6_10d.exe. When I get the first error above and press okay, the program crashes.
