That's why you make two VPs, stick one in your FSPort directory, and throw the other with the MediaVPs.  Problem solved.

Exactly.

They are two separate sets of movies.  They aren't meant to be in the same VP, or even in the same directory for that matter.  One goes in the main game directory, for the FS2 movies, and the other is for the FSPort movies and goes in that mod directory.

Ehh...I just found a show stopping bug.  I posted it in Mantis a couple of days ago.  One question though, do you need any of the RC builds to successfully run the 3.6.9 final?

[Shade]

No, 3.6.9 final replaces the RC builds.

I'm getting this in both the stable and unstable CVS branches... any chance of getting a Linux version that opens the Theora movies?

Code: [Select]

Keep your eyes on this thread: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,44374.0.html. Taylor will post it there once it is ready.

Taylor asked me to also mirror the OGG format movies, and I have also compiled them into a VP, you can download them either way, seporately or in the vp below. The FS1cutscenepack.vp goes in your FSPort directory and the FS2cutscenepack.vp goes in the root FS2 folder.

I get this error message when using OpenGL:

"Unable to get proper pixel format for OpenGL W32!"

The game wouldn't even start, and I have to resort to using D3D w/o the nice eyecandy. 

I'm using Windows Vista x64, which is the culprit for most of my other software problems.  But other than that, my hardware specs are:
2x Opteron 265 dual core
Radeon X1600
4GB of RAM

Any help would be much appreciated!

"Unable to get proper pixel format for OpenGL W32!"

That means that it couldn't get a hardware accelerated visual.  It will try at the color depth you specify in the Launcher, and if it fails it will drop down to 16-bit color (regardless of whether you selected that in the Launcher) and try again.  If it still can't get a hardware accelerated visual then it will give you that error and fail to load the game.

So, it's either that you don't have proper video card drivers installed, you have the drivers installed but they suck ass, or you need to lower the resolution specified in the Launcher to see if it will work better with a lower setting.

Happy New Year People! Okay ,I need some help,It may be dumb but here it is.I have the FreeSpace2 Sim of the year version which is 1.2. I've used the retail mods fine some bugginess but otherwise fine.Now my problem my comp is older about 5 years [my new one was stolen]but it meets the requirments so.
  I used the online updater for FSO back in Nov when it came out.Now the newer updater came out I reverted to retail and tried the JAVA one to no avail, I'm a basic user so the all in one is great. Now I've read most of the forum posts and have downloaded 3.6.9 and all the goodies thanks to Huggy,Hunter and others.Putting it together modularly and it works..Kind of. It first starts to shudder, freeze, gets going again and finally blinks to desktop goes back and flashes a runtime error message about Run32 C++ .I'm confused, the first all in one was great why change it,Yes improvement of the code But it worked fine and now i'm about ready to dump my pint in my computer.I have all the mods,Fred2,Launcher5.5 the guts on diskes and have a clean install. So how do I fix this,cause I got a bunch of Freded missions I want to play.

[Huggybaby]

First, thanks for the mention. 
Second, somebody else will have to speak to that error.

My guide has some modular install aspects, but it's not tested or designed that way. You have to use Shivan's install to make sure everything is right I think.

If you want to update a retail install, use Turey's installer/updater.

One bit of weirdness to watch out for though, is that every time you run FS with a new exe (3.6.9 in this case) you have to open your firewall. I use Windows firewall and always get a message, you may use something else so be aware. You can also run FS in a window to see if anything like that pops up. It's in the Launcher/Features/Dev Tool section. I should add that to my guide.

f you're on Windows, you might want to try the .exe Installer, as it is easier to get started than the .jar Installer. Link is here.

[sfried]

Here's one thing I don't understand:

Why does the Installer both .ogg *and* MVE files on my Movie folder? i thougt it only needed .ogg...

Also: I'm having problems when viewing things on  the Tech Room, as well as exiting the screen. There are some real bad display errors lingering around.

[Mars]

Also... any estimations when the Linux build will be available?

[Turey]

It give you a choice. You don't have to install both.

Also: I'm having problems when viewing things on  the Tech Room, as well as exiting the screen. There are some real bad display errors lingering around.

You probably should be using OpenGL for graphics if you aren't already doing so.

Also... any estimations when the Linux build will be available?

* Turey also wants to know the answer to this question.

[[DW]-Hunter]

turey, you should use my OGG-VP files for your installer. It will help keep things look less cluttered in the root dir.

[sfried]

I already am running it on OpenGL, and there's still a display glitch. It happens especially when it tried to load a whole list.

Might I also be specific that the glitch also happens when trying to load a lists of files (like missions, etc.) and when you try to exit in a normal fasion after playing a mission.

Edit: Can I also delete the folders named "temp" and "Install"? Untill a (real) Windows installer/updater comes up, it seems virtually usless to me. (I also didn't particulalry like the installer, prompting me every time even when I didn't particularly need the add-on)

So, it's either that you don't have proper video card drivers installed, you have the drivers installed but they suck ass, or you need to lower the resolution specified in the Launcher to see if it will work better with a lower setting.

I tried all your suggested combinations.  Still doesn't work on OpenGL.  I checked ATI's website, and the 64bit Catalyst driver for Vista is only BETA.  Moreover, I also read that OpenGL is weird on Windows Vista.  If anyone else got SCP 3.6.9 working on Vista 64bit w/ OpenGL, please let me know!
