Just played through to the end of Cardinal Spear last night........just one question? Is the Karnak and it's subsystems in that mod meant to be non-targetable?

Did you pay attention to the mission briefing?

Yeah I know about it venting gases that make it untargetable, but well there are three of those blast doors and I was firing on them for ages with no effect, I even tried ramming them. I only managed to complete the mission with a different 3.6.10 exe. It may have been a problem with the build I've been using I suppose?  :nervous:  :confused:

Excuse me if this is an ignorant question, but I don't remember any "PVI Karnak" in FS1. Isn't the Freespace Port just making FS2 versions of the FS1 campaign?

The Port includes FS1-era ships and models that we think would be useful to makers of FS1-era campaigns.  Some of them, such as the Karnak, the Imhotep, the medical fleet reskins, and so forth, are not canon.

Why does the Karnak make FS2 crash when I try to view it in the tech room?

Is this normal?


P.S. It also makes ModelView crash too.

Its way too high poly for ModelView to handle. Most HTL models are.
Also, The Karnak is apparently too high poly for FSO 3.6.9 builds and below as well (3.6.10 builds works, I've tried it)

Which one, the high-poly one, or the one that comes with FSPort? I took a screenshot of the Karnak not too long ago, but I'm not sure which one is it:

That one is doubtlessly the original.

And I didn't think the high-poly one was that high poly...

Thats weird, because I use a 3.6.10 build.

I get a "too many polys to generate vertex buffer data" or something like that when I run HTL Karnak in 3.6.9

The Karnak is the prettier of the two. The GVI Cairo is...let me say...ugly.
But really, the Karnak should have beam cannons or something :P (in FS2 Era) What else is it using that massive reactor for?

To blow it up, of course :)

I take it you've never played Cardinal Spear, then.  They beat you to the idea by several years. :p

Nope, I haven't played it. I've got the mission files all set up on my Mac, but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet.
