Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
Hey do you guys have sunlight in the first two missions of the retail campaign? I don't  :confused:

 
Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
So I'm replaying the campaign from 0 and I get this when try to run "A lion at the door", I think it might be the new map's because I just extracted the retail file and played through it without problems... or maybe the pilot file but I'm not sure, played with two different builds. (RC3 final and fs2_open_3_6_11r.exe.

this is what I get when I run with debug exe RC3:

Code: [Select]
Error: Invalid ship/wing name.

In sexpression: ( is-destroyed-delay 5 "GTT Argo 01" )
(Error appears to be: GTT Argo 01)

If someone can check this, I don't want to upload to mantis without knowing for sure it's a mvp issue.

Hello lads first off I'd just like to tank you all for the work you have done on FSO, quite remarkable really. I remember reading about this project years ago and have just recently come across it mentioned in a youtube post. Anyway i am new around here and i would just like to say Well Done FS2 looks REMARKABLE! err before i start crying and asking how to fix Q's!

Well got the FS1+silent threat and FS2 from GOG and played through FS1 last night. Was proper kool, haven't played a space Sim in years, they kind of died for me after and few fail arse games i picked up post FS2.

Anywho i have the same problem as Rodo and after a few cracks at Mantis I'm at a lose. Seem to be stuck at email password verifycation. Erm i'd love it if someone could explain a few things please!

1:Is Mantis used as some sort of hotfix tool for debugging my current version of SPO?( i can see Mantis is a means for acquiring bug information btw)

2:I have seen talk of a version 3.6.11 and this version having been fixed of a few bugs in .10,is this downloadable?or a new something that will be released at some later point? (Just in case i haven't navigated the forums correctly doh!)

3:Is there anyway for me to fix this issue now?

Sorry if i am asking some silly Q's here but i have gotten this far only by Zacams helpful guide  
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,65038.msg1282043.html#msg1282043

Is there a similar guide for tools like me regarding the fixing of these issues??




Hi all,

by the way great work, this is just awesome stuff :)

I seem to be haivng a similar problem with the same error. I have installed the lastest .11 (5520) but still get the same error. I applogize if the answer is somewhere and I have missed it.  Also I do have .11 selected in the lancher.

Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
Using 3.6.11 will NOT fix this problem. It's a problem in the mission file, not the executable.

Stick this mission file into your mediavps\data\missions directory (create it if it doesn't exist).

There seems to be a lot of problems with the retail campaign. Is anyone looking at this?

Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
Yes. In fact, all of the really glaring flaws have been found and corrected already; Now it's time to find and correct all the little subtle bugs.

I seem to have a problem with the 3.9.10 media vp's. After I downloaded the new vp's and executables, some of the mods like Tides of darkness, no longer work. I just get the window with the send or don't send error report buttons. Any suggestions?

That's because the fixed missions haven't been uploaded yet.

Except for THAT fixed mission. I uploaded that one numerous times. In this very thread, on this very page.

Okay, can you run a debug build (Select the fs2_open_3_6_10d.exe in the launcher), run it, and then post the fs2_open.log from the data folder in your FreeSpace 2 directory here? Or better yet, on the support board?

Re: 3.6.10 Media VPs Discussion Thread
I don't get this sudden increase of "the suns don't work for me" issue.....

Did they before and are not now? Because nothing lighting wise changed in the missions, Ambient lighting is still at Retail.

I don't even recall seeing a sun in the first few missions. Ever. It might just be my obliviousness, but still.

There are suns in every mission.  Some are small. Its why ships have shadows.

Nevermind, problem solved, I had a few stray vps in there, screwed it up. Thanks anyway  :)

Is there a way to enable lightspeed nebulas in fs2 campaign 3.6.10?  It works in 3.6.10 zeta, but only normal high res nebula in final.
