Reading this, methinks it's almost time for another lesson on multimods and Mods folder management.

And after that I'm sorry to say that nope, you are not using mediavps in a right way because mediavps "fix" the issue.

The problem is that retail & mediavps HTL faustus is not exactly the same. With retail Faustus, Docking ring is rotated and blocks the fighter bay of the Typhon. You can find full info about it in previous (old) posts in this thread. Or if you want you have full info and a fixed mission, (which rotates the Faustus instead the docking ring) in Mantis bug 1168.

But please check how you have installed mediavps and how Derelict points to them through MOD.INI cause as already said mediavps faustus "fixes" the problem. Follow Karajorma's FAQ and make sure you've got a "clean" FS2 installation:

• Delete all freespace2/data/ contents but players folder (unless you want to lose all your existing pilots). Be careful because you can be deleting custom missions or badly installed mods (but installed nevertheless).
• Check that in your freespace2/ dir you only have the vps listed in this Wiki page

And also try to fully understand how to properly install mods without having undesired cross effects (each one in a different folder, usage of launcher mod tab and mod.ini files, etc.)

Many thanks, ARSPR, the mission is now working. It appears it was down to the fact that I hadn't cleaned up the original Freespace 2 install, so they were interefering with the "better" mediavps, and that I needed to modify one or two of the mod.ini files.

Again, thanks for the assist. I'm sitting pretty now!   

but now im getting a malloc file error again....

but now im getting a malloc file error again....

A what?

[Mongoose]

Malloc is a C function used to dynamically allocate a certain amount of memory on the "heap."  I'd imagine this is some sort of pointer error, which are always so much fun to track down.

[Jeff Vader]

I see. Cool. Not a single day passes without me learning something new.

[Solitaire]

Can't get past Descent...

Spoiler:

After the Auriga jumps in and splatters the Cypher it just sits there. Disabling it, not disabling it, trebbing it to death... nothing works, you never get the recall order once the transport jumps...

[Jeff Vader]

Have you tried actually jumping out? And I think

Spoiler:

the Cypher should also jump out.

[Solitaire]

Really?

Spoiler:

I thought it was supposed to go poof - first it starts screaming that it can't handle it and has to bug out (by which time its already down to 45% hull) and then starts on about its beams malfunctioning and gets owned around 10 seconds after the Auriga starts throwing its weight around. The same salvo from the Auriga halves the Event Horizon's hull (76% > 38%) to boot.

But then it just quits firing at the station. I thought the station has to die as well as the Cypher because the transport's departure isn't triggering a RtB - I just sit there while the Auriga zaps at me with its AA beams. If I leave I always get the AWOL debrief, and the game won't let me advance to the next mission regardless of how many times I get AWOL'd

Darn it, I thought the glitches in that mission had been patched... Either that, or Turey's Installer is borked and hunting down old files again... And yeah, I'm using 3.6.9 with 3.6.8 VPs - didn't want to risk an alpha build just to get the 3.6.10 VPs...

I've played this one nearly to its end, I believe (things are really heating up with the Shivans - they're smashing a certain blockade ATM), and I just wanted to give huge props to the folks who put this together and did all the voice acting (especially like the Mackie character). The plotline, characters and missions all come together so well. Really top notch stuff, and quite comparable to the main FS2 campaign in terms of how engaged I am with the story and finding out what happens next. Many thanks!

I have one niggling issue, the GTCV Escher does not have its name plate graphic on the ship.  In fact, I don't think any of the Terran ships (save the Lone Wolf) have it.  Any idea what I need to do to turn this on?

[SF-Junky]

Derelict doesn't have any nameplates at all.

I believe Mackie was played by Ransom Arceihn.

Who's that?

[Dark Hunter]

 

Sorry. It's just he's a rather big-name campaign writer around here.
He's the mastermind behind Sync and Transcend.

Well I never... someone ought to poke you in the eye for that. j/k

[GTSVA]

Pfft.....you can't expect me to know everything!! 

[Jeff Vader]

Well, we do expect you to know some things around here. Now go play Transcend.

Ok, I'm on the mission in the derelict Campaign and all called Acceptable Losses I have fixed the problem before I found out it had to do with what was in my mediavps folder but when I supposedly beat this mission it goes to the debriefing and all I hit accept and it says that I failed the mission even though I did all the objectives. So I decided to try and skip the mission which I did and then it just goes back to the same mission acceptable losses. PS: this is as much as I can give for info that I know
