This looks pretty damn snazy:D

That doesn't show up for me. When do you get that error?  Does it flag the error when you open it in FRED?

[Antares]

I crash to desktop and get that error when I try to load the mission from the tech room.  I have no mods installed for FS1, and I created a brand new pilot to use the mission with.

Am I installing the mission correctly?  Everything in the zip file is just dumped into the main FS directory...

And I'm not a modder, so I dunno how to tinker around with FRED and VPs.

[Goober5000]

Try putting this into Freespace\Data\Missions and playing that instead.  See if it makes any difference.

[Antares]

Same error.

Edit: Tried to open the mission in FRED to see what would happen, and FRED apparently decided I wasn't cool enough to do that, crashing in protest.

[jdjtcagle]

I ported the misson and I'm getting a ship table error:confused:
I press debug and it says Freespace2 has encountered a problem so it shuts off completely

[Goober5000]

Antares: That zip file I gave you has a different file name.  Are you sure you're playing Test-Ross128 from the mission menu?

jdjtcagle: That's because it uses a different ship table.  I'll port it later.

[Antares]

I'm positive.  I extracted the mission from the zip directly into FS/Data/Missions, and tried to play it through the tech room.  I hit commit, and crashed to desktop with the same error I had while using the original zip.

[Goober5000]

I don't know what to tell you then.  It works fine for me.

I attached a version of the original mission that has the offending sexp deleted.  The mission will play the same, except you won't hear a message when Delta wing arrives.

[Antares]

Piss!

This shouldn't be happening.   My FS is fully patched, with no non-retail alterations whatsoever.  Unless WinXP is doing something screwy to it.

[Goober5000]

Ugh.  Okay, instead of clicking "cancel" or "debug", just click "ok" through all the messages.  Tell me how many you have.  You might still be able to play the mission; if not, just wait for the ported version.

[Antares]

Clicking "OK" is supposed to start up the Debugger; doing so only makes Freespace freeze, meriting a close from the Task Manager.  Hitting "Cancel" does the same thing.  The only way to actually get back to the desktop without hitting the Task Manager first is to click the "X" in the upper-right corner of the window.

[Goober5000]

Doesn't freeze for me.  Oh well.

[Xelion]

Getting the same Errors as Antares is for both Freespace and FRED...

Goober5000 what version of Freespace are you running?

[Goober5000]

Version 1.06.  The DVD version, although that shouldn't matter.

[Xelion]

I came to that conclusion last night as well, after 2 hours of tinkering with the file in notepad I still couldn't get it working . I gather there is an error in the mission thats not getting picked up by the error checker or it could be something on my side but I doubt that.

[Goober5000]

But I tested it extensively before releasing it and it works fine for me.

Perhaps it has too many events?  Try deleting a few events in FRED and see if that helps.  (Again, I don't think that would matter, but it's something else to investigate.) There are a few unneeded events in the mission that I could prune if necessary.

Did you get anyone else to test it?
