??? I'm lost.. I am not really that much a novice at installing mods for FS2 but recently I have had terrible problems, it maybe this laptop, I used to have better hardware than this, but i don't know? I had a problem with Incursion too, as the second wave of shivan destroyers wouldn't jump in until i shot down the rescue ship for the ship that was disabled and i was trying to rescue (cannot remeber the title of the mission now?)

[General Battuta]

This is really weird. Let me see if anyone on IRC can spot your problem.

[General Battuta]

Can you generate and post 1 more debug log?

[Wobble73]

Which build do you want me to use? the latest nigtly or the latest stable build? Also do you want my laptop specs?

[General Battuta]

If you're using the compat packages, try it with both. If they both produce the same error, give me the log from the latest nightly.

What launcher are you using?

[Wobble73]

The latest nightly debug build I have is 3.7.1 debug (Build 10376) which produces

Using wxLauncher but the same happens with launcher_55f beta.

[General Battuta]

Okay. The issue is that your mod command line is malformed. It reads   -mod blueplanet2,blueplanet;mediavps_3612 and it needs to read   -mod blueplanet2,blueplanet,mediavps_3612. I'm pretty sure this is the source of all your problems.

The question is why, since your mod.inis are correct. Can you please check around your FreeSpace 2 folder for settings.ini, launcher6.ini, anything like that? Can you check your custom command line settings in WXLauncher and Launcher 5.5f? Something is telling the game to use   -mod blueplanet2,blueplanet;mediavps_3612.

[Wobble73]

My wxlauncher commandline reads correct as you posted it? As in

C:\Games\Freespace 2\fs2_open_3_7_0_SSE-DEBUG.exe -mod blueplanet2,blueplanet,mediavps_3612 -nomotiondebris
-post_process -soft_particles -ship_choice_3d -weapon_choice_3d -3dwarp -ambient_factor 75 -spec_exp 11
-spec_point 0.6 -spec_static 0.8 -spec_tube 0.4 -ogl_spec 60

settings.ini in blueplanet reads

[settings]

#
# These are the user's settings; don't distribute them with the mod because he'll want to choose his own
#
flags = -noenv -nomotiondebris -noscalevid -missile_lighting -3dshockwave -post_process -3dwarp -warp_flash -snd_preload -no_glsl -disable_glsl_model -fps ;

settings.ini in blueplanet2 reads

[settings]

#
# These are the user's settings; don't distribute them with the mod because he'll want to choose his own
#
flags = -nomotiondebris -noscalevid -3dshockwave -post_process -mipmap ;


But i don't appear to have a launcher6.ini

also should there be a mod.ini in the main Fresspace 2 folder that reads

Code: [Select]

[launcher]
image255x112 = FS2.bmp;
infotext     = FreeSpace 2. No mods. No new effects. No new graphics. FreeSpace 2 Classic if you will. Select mediavps as your mod to activate the new graphics. Select fsport to play FS1 or Silent Threat with SCP enhancements.;

[General Battuta]

I think it's fine to have that there. I am really, really mystified as to how that comma is turning into a semicolon. Something, somewhere is ****ing this up.

Can you try Launcher 5.5g?

[Wobble73]

I'll have to try this tomorrow now as it's getting late and I have work tomorrow. Speak tomorrow ;-)

[Wobble73]

The wierdest thing? I downloaded Launcher 5.5g, used FS Open 3.7.0 and it started working!! Complete mystery why 5.5f and wxlauncher wouldn't work?

[General Battuta]

Jeez, I dunno. This is really weird. But at least it's working...have fun, looking forward to your impressions if you haven't played it before!

[Wobble73]

Well, I finished playing it and OMG!  it's epic! Can't wait for the next installment! Of course I had to turn down detail settings in some missions because of my rather crappy laptop making some missions unplayable due to low FPS, but the story, OMG! Love it!

Question? Any reason why AoA runs better on my Laptop than WiH?

Can't wait to upgarde my computer so I can play at better Frames Per Second! 

[The E]

Question? Any reason why AoA runs better on my Laptop than WiH?

War in Heaven uses a bunch more models and particle effects than AoA; there's a lot more polygons and a lot more detailed textures to render, which can bog down even moderately powerful hardware.

[Wobble73]

Ah, well I enjoyed WiH so much, I went back to replay AoA again, played through it all in about four hours on Sunday (yesterday) 

Need Act 4 ASAP please!  (Of course I shall be playing WiH again once VA'd)

Pure quality!
