Hi,

I just downloaded the campaign now, so not yet started.

I thought I would let you know that for some reason, the link in the 1st post to the "assets" is not working properly. It takes you to the download at Mediafire... but when you actually click "download" on the page it doesn't do it.

However, when you click on the link provided in the release thread on Sectorgame @ http://sectorgame.com/forums/the-shadow-is-coming-shadow-genesis-release-t4850.html it does work.

I hope this makes sense!

If you can get to Download button, this is caused by MediaFire server or something like this. There is always Complete Package on FreeSpaceMods.net. Remember about 1.1a patch

What's the name of the track that plays in the cinematic where Hiven blows up?  Is it available on iTunes?

Two Steps from Hell - The Ancients

We appreciate it and of course your help is welcome . We will PM you when we start working on SG 1.2. As for the Ancient planet, which mission do You have in mind? The cutscene about the Nightmares?

The one in Andromeda when you're scanning Ancient ships for the first time and have to avoid Nightmare scouts. Its a really sad track.

[Nyctaeus]

It's main theme from Constantine movie or one of the night ambients from Stalker: Call of Pripyat.

Any tips for the 10th mission where you try to get damaged GTD Hecate through a Cerberus blockade? I can destroy the 3 Mjolnirs and the Minerva jamming ship, but I really don't have enough time to deal with those Deimosses and other cruisers / corvettes. The Hecate jumps too early and there just isn't enough Angel missiles to deal with everything. I can order my wingmates to overwhelm one cruiser at a time, but that's too slow and Hecate gets destroyed meanwhile. And if I try to give multiple targets to wingmen, nothing gets destroyed. Hecate is absolutely defenseless. It has under 30 % hp when it enters and has no Frontal beams. Even if I somehow manage to take out the main beams of Deimosses, their other weapons are still enough to take Hecate down.

I mean, either this is the most brutal mission I have ever seen, or I'm doing something terribly wrong. BTW, I managed to destroy the Cerberus convoy (extra objective) in the last mission, but it doesn't really help here.

[Nyctaeus]

Destroy beam cannons! Whole Shadow Genesis is about destroying main beams of enemy ships . You can use my favorite tactics - order one wingman to destroy one beam. Each of Alpha and other, to other cannon. Use this as much, as U need in SG. You rather... Will need that.

Cerberus convoy may be needed to get access to extra missions at the end of campaign. Currently it's not working, because we are retards and screwed it up. It will be fixed in SG 2.0 along with difficulty level of this mission.

Hi,

I'm an avid gamer for Freespace 2.

I've just downloaded your campaign "Shadow Genesis" through FreespaceMods and ran into an error in the first mission "Intro".

It says that FSO has stopped running and will find a solution to the problem. I'm unable to start the campaign because of this error.

I'm currently running on FSO v3.7.2, mediavps_3612 and Shadow Genesis v1.1

Can someone help me with this problem? Much appreciated if it can be done quick.

Use the new mediaVPs first, then try it.

Or even try using an older build with the old mediavps.

Did it stop being responsive during loading, perhaps? Maybe right after you clicked the mouse?

Tried changing the mod.ini file from "mediavps_3612,Shadow Genesis;" to "mediavps_2014,Shadow Genesis;", but still no change.

Is there any other way to change it?

P.S. "mediavps_2014" was used from the BP2's mod.ini

Clicked the continue button [R], and I let the mission load. As soon as it finish loading, the game crashed.

Also tried a few other missions by Ctrl + Shift + S to to try a few random missions as a precaution.

Most of them I tried were working but the mission "Old Friends" I encounter another error, but is after the briefing part, after pressing Commit.

Well, it should actually be "Shadow Genesis;mediavps_2014" and not the other way around. It shouldn't actually cause crashes, though. The odd thing is that you didn't get an actual error message.

Please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

Attached is the .log file

When I started the game in FSO v3.7.2 debug mode, it gave me numerous warnings, majority to some missile gunship without turrets and a few warnings about Falcon fighters.

Game crashes when the same warning keeps appearing.

I hope the file above helps in finding out the error.

Intel gpu?
Try "Disable GLSL (shader) Support" (-no_glsl)

Nope, even on debug mode, it still doesn't work.

Do you have any other mods or campaigns that are being picked up from your root Freespace folder?

I've just had a look at your log and I don't recognise the multi-missionpack.vp and the mulit-missionvoicepack.vp! I think these could be interferring with the Shadow Genesis mod. However, I am not an expert on these matters so I could be wrong, but I would suggest to remove them from your root Freespace 2 folder then try to load the mod.

If this doesn't work, then perhaps try to create a new pilot if you haven't done so already!

To the best of my knowledge those simply include additional retail multiplayer missions and shouldn't interfere with any other mods in any way.

Yes, multi-missionpack.vp and multi-missionvoicepack.vp are -original files and shouldn't be conflicting with the mod in any way (they're also supposed to be in the root FS2 folder, and I have them there with no problems running Shadow Genesis).
