Re: RELEASE: Ghosts of Valor
first the good news, I now know that i know much less than i thought i did. and that I don't know half of you half as well as i should like. And i like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

the bad news, GV only works on retail. I can only get the first 3 mission to work on FSO 3.6.10. The fourth one freezes once you start playing.

i'm uploading the mod files to mediafire as folders and as .vp files for those of you who like it that way. It should be done by morning.

I think i owe an agology to a bunch of you guys. thanks for hanging with me while i made a fool of myself.

here's the links if any of yall are interested.

Good work on the turn-around, spuds! Just keeping at it will eventually yield results.  :nod:

Aw.  :(  I wouldn't say you made a fool of yourself. Anyone with the dedication to put together a solo mod over many years already has an incredibly valuable skill.

Just think of it as a big learning experience.

Re: RELEASE: Ghosts of Valor
I've been doing a preliminary study of why there are so many errors and so far this is what is have.

The missions were coded useing FRED retail not FRED FSO of any version.

All missions were tested using FS2 retail not FSO of any version.

FSO debugger was previously corrupted and never used.

Poor copy and paste protocal allowed ship and weapon entries to get jumbled up.

I assumed that FSO would overwrite FS2, and therefore i was always running FSO. between getting both programs at the same time and having weapons intel, warble vp, ect messed up from the start created a plausible reason for uniquely FSO features being "nonfunctional"


question why does FSO throw a fit about 0.0 in table entries, but FS2 retail does not?

Retail just doesn't tell you. FSO will let you know if it doesn't like something.
FSO communicates with its user.
Urutorahappī!!

Re: RELEASE: Ghosts of Valor
This campaign sounds interesting.

After i check all missions and deleted all unused ships in ships.tbl i get still many many errors about non-existing weapons and missing Level of Detail.
So i fear, that you only copy the ships from their mods without change the entries to your mod.

If i start this mod with a regular build it reported only 60 errors right before the intro video, now. So i was able to eliminate 300 errors with the deletion of unused ships. (before the cleanup it says about 380 errors found).

But i was still not able to start this campaign and it crashed right away. It is interesting, that you was able to play this thing on retail.  :eek2:


If i look in most of the other folders and files... this Mod needs a really big clean up in every direction. But first of all, we need to have a runable version :).
I think it is not in your interest, that you spend many years in this mod and in the end nobody can play it.

As an attachment i added my edited ships.tbl. Maybe someone can use it to run this campaign.
