You have to select WC4 campaign in the campaign room first ;)

I would but the campaign isn't even there.

The turtles were revolting,
and nobody could stop them.

First they came for the Jedi,

because I was not a Jedi.

Then they came for the Nerds,
and I was screwed.

Are you sure you are looking in the right place? Did you put the VP files into the Prologue's folder?

Re: RELEASE - The Price of Freedom
I have played your The Price of Freedom mission pack and the missions played perfectly, however I am now having a graphics problem. The models are there and they play without a problem but all of the new ships from the WC4 pack are untextured there surfaces with the exception of the gun turrets and engine glow are just a blank flat white. Interestingly since installing the pack all the prologs original ships except for the Lexington which is unchanged have the opposite problem, there gun turrets are now lacking texture wile the hulls and hangers are fine. In addition the Amadeus class transport is now partially textured and partially not. All textures are in place in FRED 2_OPEN 3.6.9 however in game play they appear as stated above. Finally the videos between missions are severely distorted, as though three images were playing side by side in the same window and are awash with colored static or messed up gamma correction which renders it almost impossible to view, although sound quality is unaffected. I would like to be able to enjoy the full experience of seeing the WC4 ships in this new format. Is there anything that you could recommend that I do to fix these problems? I have screenshots of the affected vessels as they appear in my game if that would be of use.

Re: RELEASE - The Price of Freedom
Yes apparently that was it. I am no expert at most of this graphics stuff I just like to play the game. Although I do like testing .TBL modifications such as recreating the WC4 Heavy Photon Gun, Heavy Ion Gun, and the Heavy Massdriver. One interesting thing that happened wile playing this mission pack was that just before I played mission WC4-Demo-04A, I think that’s the nebula mission, I played the downloadable custom mission Capships which starts you off in a Thunderbolt with 6 Dumbfires and a torpedo. After paying that I went into the campaign and played the above WC4 mission. When it started Maniac and I were in that same Thunderbolt. Weird.

Yeah still nothing.

Well, as long as VPs are in the right place the error is on your end.

the link works, it is just that the redirect from wcsaga.com to www.wcsaga.com isn't working correctly.

Re: RELEASE - The Price of Freedom
I was looking through the wc4_core_0.23.vp file and noticed that there was a Vesuvious model. I then looked in FRED to see if it was there and it wasn't. I tried to get it to where I could use it in FRED but I can't figure it out. Is there a way I can use the Vesuvious in FRED? I'd appreciate any help.

Re: RELEASE - The Price of Freedom
sort of. You will notice, that a txt file is inside the table dir. You must add the content of this file into the tbm file supplied with the wc4 demo. Apart from the Vesuvius our old Concordia-class model is included, but disabled by default. Reason is: both models look butt ugly with the current engine :)

Re: RELEASE - The Price of Freedom
I tried adding all of the data for the vesuvious from the txt file to the tbm file but it doesn't save anything. If I have to extract the file just to save it, wouldn't I have to upload it back into the vp file? If so, I don't know how to do that.

Re: RELEASE - The Price of Freedom
Anything in Data\Tables would override anything in the VPs Table folder so just save it there. You may need to make the folder yourself.

Re: RELEASE - The Price of Freedom
simply extract the txt file and the tbm file. insert the data from the table file into the tbm file. Be sure to put the data into the correct place. Then put the modified tbm file into prologue/data/tables folder.
