I have new builds, just not uploaded. FRED2 however, is broken till further notice.

[Cobra]

nooooooooooo!

It's actually working again - did you see the thread?  It was fixed during the last day or two.

Oh yeah, it happens a lot.
the limit is 6500 normals.

I'm making it dynamic.  Also I'm fixing the HTL wireframe mode to work properly (in OGL at least) and that will be the default for HTL now.  It should soon have no limit in number or verts or normals and wireframe models should render just as fast (or faster) than normal models.

One pecularity I have noticed with these links (for quite a long time now) is that if I click them in Firefox, it tries to load up the rar file inside the browser and displays a lot of gibberish. I have to right-click and save the files somewhere in order to download them normally. Is anyone else getting this?

[redmenace]

Known Issue. No fix, sorry.

[WMCoolmon]

Sounds like a server problem.

[Solatar]

I just use IE to download them.

Has there been weirdness reported with the 1/16 build about radar in the nebula and environment mapping?  Been awhile since I played FS2 at all, so I'm out of touch.

Radar in the nebula works at full range, so in the first nebula mission you can see everything on radar when most of it should be invisible.  Turning on env mapping just flat out crashes whenever I enter a mission.

Apoligies if these are reposts.

The env mapping has been broken for a while, but the other thing sounds like a new bug. Put it on Mantis.

[edit] Actually never mind, it looks like it's already on there.

Just right-click > Save Link As... ,

or better yet, get the FlashGot plugin http://www.flashgot.net  and use it with Free Download Manager  www.freedownloadmanager.org  (free - no spyware, etc). 
Then you'd right-click > FlashGot Link
This way, it downloads much faster!
Hope this helps!!

i never saw anything wrong with the env. mapping...

[EDIT] i would have taken a screenshot to see if you could see if anything was wrong, but i'm still getting variating single-color screenshots.

Just Wouaww !! This builds are definately the best I've got, no sound stuttering, no music cut, better AI (a lot lot better AI behavior). However, the Voice recognition didn't work


What do you guys have done to the AI ? Now, in all the missions I made, the Empire fleet take advantage and destroyed an Orion class as fast as possible. Generally, the Orion survive but was still damaged. Now, I can cry in space !!

I haven't noticed any differences in the AI. (and there shouldn't be, at least by default) How exactly are they better?

Heya everyone, I was just having a problem with the 1/16 InfCVS build and since I cant use the search function on the forums (is that ever going to get fixed?) I figured this was the most appropriate place to put this.

Anyways the error occurs when I click the launchers run button.   I started having the problem when I installed the upgraded inferno files, but it continued even after I removed the new files and set the launcher to use no mods.  I also tried the same thing with the 1/17 build.

Has this happened to anyone before?

[redmenace]

looks like you are using old media vps.

I haven't noticed any differences in the AI. (and there shouldn't be, at least by default) How exactly are they better?

I didn't try with the main Fs2 campaign, but in my SW mod, enemy fighter and bomber are more dangerous than before. Their evasive action is better, as well for their accuracy and the way they moved (they use their full speed and bomber attack any cruiser faster).

The most recent build of FRED is crashing a hell of a lot for me. It seems to occur whenever I use any of WMCoolmons SEXPs (cutscene or the object speed ones) but not with the others (Except the get-object-x and get-object-relative-x SEXPs). Furthermore FRED offers me different options from the popup menu for these ships. Instead of Alpha 1 being the default option I get <any traitor> and then this weirdness. THe 9/1/2006 build is fine. Haven't tried any intermediate builds yet.

Also, in the Shivan Gauntlet, the cruisers are no longer sitting ducks, they actually move around and try to make your life as hard as possible (which I find quite a good thing).
Just recently reinstalled FS, so I can't really say much more to this.


And the 9/1/2006- build crashes on me everytime the mission starts (right where the Manticores jump in).
The 29/12/2005 works quite good, but usually crashes once I try to load a second mission.
Still, there's quite a high chance that my PC is the problem, as
         a) I'm thinking the RAM might be a bit faulty
and   b) I'm running Win98 (the readme told me it wasn't recommended, I know...)

Only point I'd complain about is that both FRED builds show most textures (except the Pegasus) and backgrounds as plain white, regardless of if I have -jgptga and/or -fredhtl enabled. Is this issue already known?
