Well, first of all, the campaign was throughly entertaining and exciting.

But there was a weird bug which I noticed. If you were to restart a mission from the escape menu, you would be disembodied from your fighter and stuck at [0,0,0] and unable to move or fire. You can easialy get around this by exiting to the main hall and restarting from there. Any idea why this happens?

k19, as for your red alert mission problem - which mission is it? If it's the scouting mission in a pegasus, that problem should have been fixed when I last updated.
If you started playing the campaign before that updaate and didn't re-start it, the fix might not work.

it happened on that pegasus one too but it happen on a few others. I notice it might have something to do with jumping out before the game is able to send me to the next mission. Also I'm still at that pegasus red-alert mission so tell me where the update is. I'm considering restarting the campaign i did it once before when the red-alert with the vasduan in the escape pod did it and i couldn't fix. Please this is a great campaign i don't want to restart it again.

i also have this problem except alpha wing has been blown to bits (apparently) when i change view im in two different locations i have all the files that you first posted so im not sure if it included the fix let me know when its updated i love this campaign!!

Where are the updates?  The link provided in the initial post shows that the files are dated December 5th.

Gah. Sorry about it.. I uploaded it but Mediafire froze during verification. It sometimes does that, but the files allways went trough. This time it didn't. Re-uploading it now.
Done and checked!

Hello all,

In the mission "rabbit's hole" or w/e, the one where you escort the thing through the field. Bascially...the mission never ends. I scan the sat. and that objective is completed. The AWACs gets to a point where it has "no orders" but the protect mission objective never gets completed. It does get completed when i allow the AWACs to take some damage (radar gets destroyed). One time I scanned the sat and sentries, let the awacs radar get destroyed and i got  a a new objective to "destroy pirates" BUT lucky for me my computer freaked out (not because of fs2) and I haven't been able to get that objective again yet. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Very strange..when the AWACS stops a pirate wing should appear and you should get new orders. Could be the AWACS is not completing it's last waypoint, so the pirate fighters never trigger? I really can't tell yet. Worked flawlessly for me.

hi,
i have the same problem as est1895 and i think its because there is no fc2 file in the fixed mission folder.

screen of my folders with their content:

thx for help 

[TrashMan]

What the hell? How is that possible?

Sorry about that. When I made the new campaign file I must have deleted or misplaced them..

OK, updated the file...sorry about that

[Ryo]

thx it works now, but i always get an error on the loading screen that "ship classes" are missing, do i need something besides this mod and mediavps?

[Nighthavoc]

i have this problem to i would say delete the contents of the folder and unpack everything again

EDIT: lol trash man sorry i keep bothering you but yep this error is cant find 23 ship classes blah blah then when you hit run anyway it comes up with this

i click ok to go into debugger but it crashes everything i have is the updated version latest build etc etc

tell me when i start to really annoy you! 

[TrashMan]

Strange.

check your ships table - find the Orion mk2 entry and see if it's calling for OrionMk2.pof (as it should) or OrionMk2F.pof (the old ships table I had)

[Ryo]

@Nighthavok
yes i did this alsready even downloaded the files again

@TrashMan
my ships table calls for OrionMk2F.pof
i tried to rename all the false entrys but sometimes i do not know with what to replace them like OrionAdv.pof
and i really appreciate your effort to fix our problems 

[TrashMan]

Now I'm stumped. My ships.tbl clearly shows OrionMk2.pof.

How the hell did that F get in there?


Here's a direct copy of my ships.tbl. Hope that fixes it for you.
In the meantime I'll have to check the file up on Mediafire...

maybe that will help this is another error i get regardless if i click ok or cancel on the orion one

[Ryo]

ok the ships.tbl works fine now but the weapons are messed up, like in the 2nd mission i start with secondaries only 

but i dont get any errors

[TrashMan]

I uploaded a new COTS_C.rar file, just to be sure the latest files are in there.

@Nighthavoc - that seems to be a graphics error in hte exe itself. Try using another build.

@Ryo - try it with the files I just uploaded. If it's still not working, then I really don't know what the problem is.

[Ryo]

thats it, everything is looking good now
thank you again

[Nighthavoc]

k i've fixed a few problems restarting the campaign got me from cant find 23 ships to 3 ships ill try the new file see how it goes

[Macfie]

I edited the missions and corrected a problem with the campaign file for FOW Gate.
It is attached.

First of all: Hey to everyone!
 

But now to reason for my very first post onboard of hard-light productions

I really liked your campaign so far, trashman. But in the mission "the chase" i get an VERY annoying bug, which won't let me continue on playing your camapign.. i simply cannot land on the eternity, which is the very only way to complete this mission. Can you help me out please? I'd really like to continue playing you campaign.

And before i forget it: I use the newest mediavps (3.6.10) and i also tested the mission on the latest wanderer build and some of the latest nightly builds.

THX in advance

Hey there, reporting a bug that I am experiencing.

To put it simply, I've just completed the mission "I Spy" but everytime I click to continue the next mission - from both the "I Spy" debriefing and from the main menu - FS2 simply crashes on the loading screen. Nothing about any missing models or anything like that, simply a crash and the message box asking if I want to send an error report.

I am using the latest 3.6.10 mediavps, recently downloaded to get FSport up and running.

Otherwise, just to say that on the two missions I've played, good job, I'm liking all the new tech/ships etc, and I'm looking forward to more once I get this little crash problem sorted.



EDIT: Okay, I've just discovered something that might be of interest. I've run the debug version with FOW-COTS, and it'll get to the SCP loading screen (before the main menu), then it gives me the following message, and crashes:


Warning: $Rearm Rate for ballistic primary Maxim not specified.  Defaulting to 100...

I'm guessing this has something to do with the problem I'm getting when trying to load the mission after "I Spy".

The landing event is b0rked. It worked before, but I must have changed the player ship from Gamma2 to Gamma1 and forgot to change the event too. I'll fix that in a jiffy.



@BustRobot  - nah, that's not it. there are some things that are no longer needed and SCP will fill in the blanks in some cases. I'm looking into this, but so far I found nothing that might cause such a crash.
It would help to know which version of FSOpen you're using.

EDIT:
Fix for mission 19 attached. Niko_Thien, you might want to empty the chache and replay the previous mission - I think that should allow you to continue without re-starting the whole campaign.
