Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Just on that, there could potentially be an incompatibility with the version of 7z used? Could be worth re-compressing say bpc-core.7z with an older version & seeing if the installer likes that?

14:37:21   niffiwan: it can get the .txt file OK, but the data files at the same host won't download
14:37:39   niffiwan: a manual browser connection to the same url in the installer logs works
14:37:53   niffiwan: i.e. http://fsblueplanet.creshal.de/releases/bpc-core.7z
14:38:10   niffiwan: wait!
14:38:18   niffiwan: "Extraction failed due to unknown compression method!" ?
14:39:15   niffiwan: what's the installer got against .7z files?
14:41:24   Goober5000: niffiwan: yeah, The E PMmed me that BP was having trouble... though he didn't mention the .7z problem
14:41:42   niffiwan: yeah, just saw that in the STDOUT from the installer
14:41:42   Goober5000: I wonder if BP used a variant on the 7z compression... extra-dense maybe?
14:42:34   Goober5000: .7z files do work successfully, but they are extracted using a third-party plugin
14:43:07   niffiwan: hmm... the 7z version reported here is 0.4
14:43:16   niffiwan: the last bp2 .7z I have reported version 0.3

OMG, the techroom data entries. It will take hours to read through all the new entries. Read all the Vasudan stuff, will start the Shivans tomorrow. I took a quick peak at the Erebus entry and I almost fell out of my chair. Why you do this to me General?
If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
So what I do is create a folder in /FS2 called "bpcomplete" and then download the files in General Battuta's release post and put them in that folder?

Haven't done this in a while, sorry.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Just download all the files in the release post and extract them to your FreeSpace 2 folder. It'll automatically create the bpcomplete folder.

Does anyone know how to shut up the Microsoft Anna voice in the tech room? I set the volume and unchecked the auto voice in wxLauncher but it still speaks its stupid robotic voice in the tech screen.  :mad:

In wxLauncher, go to the Basic Settings tab.  On the middle right you'll see a bunch of checkboxes.  Uncheck them all.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
The issues with the FSOInstaller have been fixed. You can now download and install BP through it.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Hi!

When I click on "Shipsave" (visible after Crtl+Shift+S) in the Techroom, the game crashes. Is this a known issue?

If not, I can provide Debug log ect when I get home from work, though I suppose it's no big deal if that's the only issue.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
IIRC, Shipsave is part of the screencam script (the part that saves player ship and position when you go into screenshot mode).  It's not actually a ship, so no, I don't think there's a way to fix that.

-no_glsl did the trick... to know that such a minor thing almost made me crazy...
As a side not, thx for allowing me to be part of the beta test :D

Thanks for the log! That's weird. Checking it out right now.

(Just to be sure, you're playing on a regular build, not debug, right?)

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Can you try a few other nightly builds? See if the crash goes away?

Is it possible one of your VP files is corrupt? Can you run the FreeSpace Open Installer targeting your BP Complete install? It should repair any damage.

We are pushing an update very soon to the Core VP, buffing the Prometheus R to Subach levels and fixing a campaign-stopping bug (thanks Volition typos!) in FreeSpace Blue.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Update has been pushed. Please rerun the FSOInstaller, or redownload bpc-core and bpc-fs2blue.
