We will help with the website and setting it up. :)

StarGame will be moving to a dedicated server soon, so after that we can start arranging the hosting and all, unless mr. StarGame says otherwise.

I want to complete the list here and I've still got a campaign ("Tale of EAS Janus - Earth Minbari War") and several missions (Mars Defence Force series; "Demon hunting") here at my place which are not on the list here

MDF and "Demon hunting" will be added tomorrow exceot something is speaking against it...
but the ToEJ campaign is quite old and I don't got the time for a full restoration (the original campaign file isn't working with current builds, background has to be updated and the table file which comes with the campaign does not include more craft than needed for the campaign)
Is someone here to do that?
I've made some steps to update the background but this was rather choosing backgrounds on opportunity and I just installed the braches from one mission to the other...

@Primus: Thank you for the offer, but at thre moment I am much more engaged in doing my final exams for school. And soon, university awaits *smirk*

/EDIT: Since there is always some talk about several different builds of this and that and compatibilities etc, and since I have not been able to get Heat 'em Up and Survivor work out, is there some kind of a newbie's guide or "TBD for Dummies" aroud. Would appreciate it. I use to follow the instructions from the ReadMes, but I get either the "atempt to load mission failed"-message or just anice crash. Even though I managed to create a "missions"-subfolder and other missions and campaigns work alright.

This get's a little to far ot, doesn't it? Ah hell.   :wtf:

Hi storm crow, any campaign which is in a vp file eg. b5 heat em up must be put into the folder where you installed the babylon project (c:/the babylon project/).  This vp file is basicaly a zip which points tbp to where the various files should be placed, its as simple as that for .vp campaigns.  All other campiagns which just have certain folders eg data/missions, data/voice etc should be placed in the relevant folders i the data diectory. :)

A quick cut, paste and clean up from my FS2 FAQ. Wherever it says FS2 read TBP :)

Quote
I've just installed FS2_Open and I want to install a mod.

Be very wary of what the readmes that come with mods tell you to do. Many mods were written for FS2, before FS2_Open had its new mod managing features or by people only vaguely aware of what they do. For this reason I'll give you a golden rule.

NEVER install anything to Freespace2\Data regardless of what the instructions say.

If you are following this guide there is no reason to install there.

   1.  Check the path to your FreeSpace 2 folder - The path to your folder can not contain a space. C:\Program Files\FreeSpace2\ won't work. Move your entire Freespace2 folder to C:Games\Freespace2 or something (note that you will have to move the folder back if you every try to uninstall the game).
   2. Create a folder for the install - Make a folder within your main Freespace2 folder. Make sure that this folder has no spaces and no hyphens. Apart from that you can call the folder anything. The mod's name is generally the best thing to use.
   3. Install any VP files - If the mod has any VP files stick them straight into the new folder you created.
   4. Install any data files - If the mod has any other files then make a new folder called data inside the mod folder you just created. Follow the instructions using this new Data folder as if it were Freespace2\Data (i.e if told to stick a file in Freespace2\Data\Tables you stick it in Freespace2\ModName\Data\Tables).

Thanks, also to karajorma, but unfortunately, it didn't produce much more than some curses I do better not repeat  :wtf: :) Just plainly don't know what to do. Fresh installation, an own folder for it, calling several voodoo-gods... nope :(

I run an

Thank you anyway for trying to help.

I think windows 2000 could be the source of your probs.  This operating systenm is based on NT technology and isnt really suited for games.  Try it on win 98/ME or XP ;)

Umm. XP is based on the same NT core as Windows 2k. They just lobotomised it in the the Home version so that you wouldn't notice.

Lets see if I can figure out Stormcrow's problem.

EDIT : Ah. Just noticed one vitally important step was missing in the little guide I posted. My bad.

Once you have done all those steps run the launcher. Go to the mods tab (or features tab in launcher 5.2) and click on the select mod button. Select the folder you just created.

Now click run.

Just to echo Karajorma's point, I've been using Windows 2000 Professional for several years with TBP and various other games and it's always worked just fine.

Quite a few games do work on 2000 but quite a few don`t as well, Never tried tbp on 2000 so it was just a possibility.:)

This might be just the point, karajorma, thanks. Will try it asap. Just to besure, the launcher coming with Heat'emUp or the original one? Well, trying both is not that much work, ist it. ;-)

Well, 2k never made any problems so far, from ye olde games like starcraft, fallout 2 or age of empires 1 to ut2004, deus ex 2 etc. In fact, it worked far better and also with far less bluescreens than 98, which I had before.

Either launcher should work but I'd suggest using 5.3. It's what I use so it makes it much easier for me to remember what to tell you to do. :)

Missions and Campaigns List Update
Reply #34 on: March 16, 2006, 02:43:26 pm
Okay folks, I'm updating the list on page one during the next days....

1. HEU links will be changed to lead to the HEU downloads page...
2. all missions stored on the babcom.henna-boy server should still be working with 3.3 - an exception is "The Black Hand - First Steps Into The Abyss" which I'll give a new playtest-run during the weekend to install the last 3.3 fixes and changes and which will be put back where it was on Monday...

I've just finished fixing it up for 3.3 (just a minor change I needed to verify)
I'll upload it along with a new mission ("Sword of the Empire") tomorrow

otherwise I could be talking about a mission from the "Heat'em up Season 1"-campaign

both signs and sword of the empire are fs2 files.. I tried putting them into the bab project folder and the dont show up in missions.

So i tried extracting them into the data/missions folder.. They show up, but whenever i go to 'commit' the debugger pops up and gives me an error message....
