0.87 Gb...

wow

I need to recalculate my sense of size.

The installation won't start at all for me, it just gets the "configuring TBP 3.4 for install" part, and when that finishes nothing else happens.

check your \Program Files\ directory there you will find the TBP Final directory

You people officially have THE most unorthodox installer.

[IPAndrews]

Yes a Windows installer package... using Windows Installer... to install something to Windows. The insanity! Seriously Cobra is it our fault that you run an installer, you don't get an error, and you can't figure out that maybe just maybe it installed without error? Presumably you want a rendered 3D animation with flashing neon lights and blaring rock music to celebrate the occasion. Now mentally translate this acronym. F. F. S. Go play your 1gig free game and stop whinging about sod all. Thank you.

Very easy.... set to OpenGL.. Direct 3D is not officially supported anymore, and should only be used as a last resort.  Try running at 1024x768, make sure your tags are straight, mine are: (you can set these using the features tab)

type Graphics:
select all options except "disable scale to window for movies"

type HUD:
select all

type Gameplay:
select everything except The Babylon Project and Wing Commander Saga features toggles.

add this to the "custom flags" box, above "list type":

-ambient_factor 0 -no_emissive_light -fov 0.55 -spec_exp 16.7 -spec_point 0.6 -spec_static 0.9 -spec_tube 1

Moderator note: These are different settings to the ones people who run the official download will get.

EDIT: Oh, and for playing FS2, select the mod "mediavps" in the MOD tab... if you're playing another mod, mediavps is autoselected by the mod... but if you're just playing FS2, you've gotta turn it on yourself.

@imchief & IPAndrews:
Ooopsie... forgot we were talking about Baylon here...   Umm, try enabling the "Babylon Project", other than that, I'd ask IPAndrews what else he'd recommend changing... (I'd like to know myself what the Babylon recommended settings are!)

Dude, calm down. I was expecting a progress bar or something. Jeez.

Precisely. Be happy with what you have been given and stop expecting.

[hip63]

I'm putting together a nice new installer that's more like what you would expect an installer to be like. If any of you have downloaded my FSSCP DVD and installed from it, it will be like those installers and you will have the option to choose the install path. It's pretty too

It will be a few days though before I can get it uploaded as I can no longer "borrow" bandwidth at work, so I will have to get friend to upload it for me to filefront.

[Bigoudi]

just a litle ask about mission crash.

TBP dev team what for operathing sytem are use ?

i have windows xp pro with SP 1 installed.

i just ask me that, some mission is crashing probably becose operating system is not same for a exemple i dont have installed windows SP2, so mission crash can be provide becose operating system is not same.

and this will be probably close many another probleme mean random bug pple got every time.

[karajorma]

If I'd known about them I would have used them. With us being HLP's biggest most underappreciated mod though, I was never going to find out until after the event was I. Hell I even shipped 3.4 with the horrendous Vorlon Fighter mission save bug because I figured asking the SCP team for assistance would be a waste of time. I did my best with the limited time and support I had.

Actually I asked about that one last time you mentioned it and I got no reply (or if I did I missed it). If the bug is in Mantis I'm happy to take a look at it.

As for the rest, feel free to bug me with SCP questions. Everyone else does, generally with less cause.

Just remember you have registry settings to install too.

Save a mission with the player's ship as a Vorlon Fighter (or various other ships actually) and FRED will crash. I don't really have time to fiddle around with Mantis. If you can Mantis it on my behalf I would appreciate it. As I am really pushed for time at the moment.

[Jeff Vader]

A thousand thanks to you, senor Andrews. I was finally able to play Raider Wars through without constantly fiddling around with different builds. So far I've only encountered one bug or something.
Can't remember the name of the mission, but it was the first mission taking place at Altair station. When I shot a high payload dumbfire at one of the Narn transports, the game crashed to the desktop saying that it had encountered an error. Don't know what that was all about, but I just restarted and tried again, this time without using missiles. And then it worked. Not a big thing, and it only happened that one time.

The installer was a bit cryptic. When I ran it, I was most of the time completely unaware of its intentions, and I was only able to pray that it would work. Good thing that it did, but I would have wanted to install it to a different directory.
Then again, considering the amount of work you've obviously done for this project and the fact that it's free, I'd eventually admit that the whole "It's free so just shut up and play the goddamn game" policy is justified.

All in all, thank you for doing this. All we need now is some serious advertising campaign or something to get more players.

[hip63]

Yep, I am aware of the Reg entries & they will be created as well write directory changes to the launcher6.ini.
