Title: PVB Osiris bombers (models) not showing in game
Post by: DaveAFC13 on February 19, 2011, 03:53:35 pm

Hi,

firstly, i'd just like to say thank you thank you thank you thank you for allowing me to play my favourite game in great detail again, it's been almost a decade since i last played freespace and it feels as awesome as ever.

i'm trying to go through the mods you get in FSO in chronological order, sad i know, and am currently doing Cardinal Spear: Vega. having held off the vasudans attacking the agamemnon, i only had 4 bombers to take down to end the mission in a GTA victory, but it turns out the vasudans have a special invisible bomb squad who do not get damaged by lasers, only rockets, and this means it's quite tricky to finish the mission

so i was wondering if anyone could give me some help to turn the invisibility settings off, would be much appreciated, if i need to find a bit of code somewhere that's gone wrong i'll do my best, but i need someone who knows how to fix it to tell me

cheers

He wants you to generate a debug log. Run a debug build (ends in -d or -debug, select it in the launcher), load the mission where you have the problem, then go to FreeSpace2/data/, find the file called fs2_open.log, and post the contents.

This will tell us what's going wrong so we can fix it.

It has pictures that should illustrate the various steps.

not sure if that'll help you but figure it can't hurt

Code: [Select]

  -mod cardinalspear,fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps
The problem is that you're trying to use the FSPort MediaVPs and the regular MediaVPs, but FSO does not find the regular MediaVPs from \freespace2\mediavps\ . If you have the 3.6.12 MediaVPs (they should be in \freespace2\mediavps_3612\), you can try the following:

- open your \freespace2\cardinalspear\ directory
- there should be a file called mod.ini. Open it with Notepad or equivalent
- there is a line that says "secondarylist = fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps". Change it to say "secondarylist = fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps_3612". Without the quotation marks, naturally.
