Gentlemen, I am deeply in your debt.

Is there any way to get the voice pack to work without the SCP?

[perihelion]

Thanks for all your efforts guys.  I can't tell you how much I've been looking forward to this.   I deliberately refrained from playing any of the earlier versions of this campaign when I heard what you were working on.  This looks to be a blast.

First few missions definitely have the creepiness factor ramped up!

@ Nix: uh, i said i had already done the things you suggested, but they didn't work, so your info was useless to me.

[redmenace]

The CVS Builds have been updated, FYI.

i'm getting a 404.

First of all let me say the voice acting is a welcome treat for such a stellar campaign.  You folks really outdid yourselves on this one.

Now, on to the complaining.  For some reason when I play everything works fine, except I have no nebula backgrounds at all.  Planets and stars are fine, but no nebulas.  I'm using 3.6.7 with most of the enhanced features and media vps going for me.

[Trivial Psychic]

You need Lightspeed's special nebulae pack, and the accompanying stars table file.  Blaise is a big fan of those packs, adding them into pretty much every one of his campaigns, starting with STL.

[Cobra]

even with the new SCP build it won't play!

It's probably easier to get FS_open running on your machine, what's the holdup there ?

[Getter Robo G]

Strange problem..

Campaign not found!  I went back and noticed even if you delete the data folder it makes a new blank one. Anyway I extracted all the relevant files from vp including copy of campaign file and ported to appropriate folders like teh old way, still no go.. I then copied all vp's to root also including campaign file, no go. I even went back to 3.6 open and launcher, still no go.

End result:  game plays no probs BUT only lists main fs2 campaign, Derelict cannot be located...?

Any ideas?

If you want to go through the original campaign and rename all the voice file references to the new system, sure. However, you're better off just using the SCP, as suggested. The entire point of this project was to update an old favourite; I don't particularly want to go back to the ugly, slightly buggier FS2 Retail version. SCP is the future, baby.

Strange problem..

All I can suggest is a new pilot - after that, it's beyond me.



Anyway, I'm glad it's going well (with one or two exceptions, unfortunately) and I'm happy the voices have been well-received. I was very impressed with the quality of the volunteers' submissions, and the depth or range that each individual actor brought to his role or roles. I hope I've done the campaign justice. Of course, my secret hope is that a few years from now, someone will say "Y'know, Derelict's a really good campaign... wouldn't it be nice if it had custom command briefing animations..."

But for now, this is enough.

Only if you converted all the .ogg samples to .wav and then edited every single mission in Derelict to play them.

And if Blaise changed any of the dialogue you'd need to edit that too.

[Mongoose]

Many thanks to you, Blaise, for putting all the effort into updating Derelict and giving all of us the chance to be part of the project.  I can't wait to play through it and see how everyone's parts turned out.

(Too bad I didn't think to include my one notable blooper in there; it had me in stitches at least. I think I still have it uploaded somewhere, though.)

[Nuclear1]

Was that the "Aw, ****!" blooper?

[Nix]

Strange problem..   Campaign not found!

Make sure you've selected the mod under the MOD tab of the launcher.  If you have done that, then I'm at a loss too.  Make sure you have the voice-recognition build, make sure the mod is selected, and try a new pilot as Blaise suggested. 

@ Nix: uh, i said i had already done the things you suggested, but they didn't work, so your info was useless to me.

I find that hard to believe.  It sounds like to me you have some old residuals from old builds hanging around that shouldnt be there.   (perhaps some MAP files or something, I recall phreak started including them last year) Try a fresh install of FS2, retail patch it, and then just adding in the MediaVP's and the voice-recgonition build along with the launcher.  If your install has a lot of old stuff in it that you dont want to lose, just simply re-install FS2 to ANOTHER folder instead of your default location. If you STILL get dock errors and the like, then re-download the campaign and voicepacks.  You *MIGHT* have a corrupt download, and if you STILL get dock errors, then it's beyond me and up to a coder or someone with more techical knowledge about the SCP than I.   Hey, I tried, eh?

[ionia23]

*Point*

If you are using a player file that was used in a previous version of derelict, you may run into problems (as I did).  I don't know 'why'.  Creating a new character file and using the latest CVS build seems to have done the trick.  I took notes on where the game started to go tits-up.  We'll see if it happens again.

One of the problems I ran into was in the mission with the Equinox, during the SOC loop.  This is the mission where the civilian crafts warp in and you have to protect them.  I believe the mission is called "Bond Of Trust".  The problem I ran into was, despite completing all objectives, the option to depart is never given.  Once I finally catch up to that mission again I'll see if it's still happening.

Simply wonderful playing it with voice acting

The SCP dosn't work on my computer.   
And I don't feel like springing for a graphics card. Yet.
I'd need to get a new motherboard for most cards to work anyway.

  I suppose I could try.

[Cobra]

aw, come on, sizzler, it's not that hard.

Is your graphics card that old ? If yes, grab a really cheap one from ebay, that can run FS_open. (something like a GF3 or GF4, or an ATI equivalent)
