Greetings! I'm loving the conversion but I'm having some issues. One of them is that Zathras won't run on my Windows 7 system. Not entirely sure why.

I downloaded the download version of TBP, then downloaded Zathras. Activated the mod and immediately started getting errors when I tried to run the game, and then it would drop to desktop. Deactivated Zathras and the game worked fine.

I figured maybe I was missing some files, so I downloaded the full DVD version. Which I noticed once I installed it that it had the Zathras mod included. I activated the Zathras mod - and immediately got the same errors I was getting before.

Here's the sort of errors I'm getting. (Not sure if there's a log file somewhere I could post?)

I get a series of popup windows that say this:

I stopped it at that time, the error messages keep going on and on in that way, and if you click cancel instead of ok, it pops you out to the desktop.

Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix it? I'd love to see the enhanced features!

You are attempting to use Zathras with an outdated build.  Please get Zathras 2.0 and 3.6.12 Inferno builds of FS2_Open. 

[JonnyBGoode]

Ok, thought the downloadable versions were the latest.

I've done that... do I want the launcher to point to fs2_open_3_6_12d_INF or fs2_open_3_6_12r_INF? I'm assuming the d means dev and I want it to point to the r version?

[Vidmaster]

d is the debug build, use it only if you encounter an error and want to report it.

ALWAYS use r to play :-)

[JonnyBGoode]

That's what I thought. I used to play Freespace a lot back in the day, and dev'd some, but it's been a while. Thanks, I'll let you know how it comes out.

[JonnyBGoode]

Ok, that got Zathras to work...
