Re: The Babylon Project 3.4 / Final download link
Excellent! Is it correct that Raider Wars and the Earth Minbari demo are included?

What about the Mission Pack?

Its Brilliant.
Ive finally managed to get something working, You've done a great job.
Thanks again
Guppy :D

Do all the previous 3.4 base missions work?Anyone know?

 
Re: The Babylon Project 3.4 / Final download link
Yes, they seem to work.  :yes:

Also, Earth-Minbari War and Raider Wars are both included at versions 3.0 judging from the vp names, so those extra downloads are no longer necessary.

Try and be tolerant of minor bugs Orph. I simply ran out of time to work on this thing since I'm moving house and starting a new job in a week.

Re: The Babylon Project 3.4 / Final download link
So I'm rather new to all this...
When I click the link I get a new page full of code, do I need to compile this before I can run it?

I'm trying to run this on my MAC, I read elseware that I needed the 3.4 to run with the FS2 3.6.9, is that true too?

Thanx

Re: The Babylon Project 3.4 / Final download link
Ugh... I hate to be the first to post a problem...  :nervous:

In the mission loading screen, the game crashes and spews the following out:

Could not load exp04 anim file

file:J:\src\cvs\fs2_open_3_6_9.final\code\Fireball\Fireballs.cpp

Line:697

(This file points to the location of a file on the computer that built this executable)

Neither can I view any ships in the Techroom. And the cursor 'smears' itself all over the main screen.

I've got OpenAL installed. And I never had any trouble with the previous versions. Please help!

Re: The Babylon Project 3.4 / Final download link
And I hate to be the second one...

I downloaded the TBP-Base-3_4 and clicked it twice so it could install. The program said that windows is preparing for the installation (around 30 seconds) and after that countdown... NOTHING happened. I restarted my computer - the same. Isn't that a self-installing file?

btw it is 908,576 MB. I hope that sice is true and the data is not corrupt

Mine installed for around 10 minutes, I guess it's just a question of waiting longer than the installer would suggest.

Unfortunately you're out of luck. The game is being distributed as a .msi which means it will only work with Windows. If you can extract it on a Windows machine I'm sure you could take the files and get it running on a Mac or in Linux though.

In the mission loading screen, the game crashes and spews the following out:

Could not load exp04 anim file

file:J:\src\cvs\fs2_open_3_6_9.final\code\Fireball\Fireballs.cpp

I hate to go against the established advice (especially as I was one of those who established that advice) but that particular error is almost certainly caused by running the game in OpenGL on an Intel graphics card. You'll have to run in Direct3D to make it work and that can cause certain graphical errors. There is a fix for some of those errors to be found here. No idea how well it actually works.

That one puzzled me too. Check your start menu and see it it hasn't actually installed rather quietly to C:\Program files\

Re: The Babylon Project 3.4 / Final download link
(slaps forehead) I thought it might be because of OpenGL but somehow it didn't occur to me to try Direct3D instead   :rolleyes:  Thanks, Karajorma.

Re: The Babylon Project 3.4 / Final download link
It's not a problem. We've spent a long time training everyone to use OpenGL all the time anyway. It is by far the better of the two APIs because no one is maintaining the FS2_Open D3D code.

I'm always tolerant - I guess my I'm still able to life with Direct 3D  :p
and if I find any -- well I've learned a lot - I might be able to fix them myself

Anyway .. if you have not changed the stars.tbl I gave you, we will come along fine

HAHA! thats exactly what happened.  Oddly enough I had a feeling that was the case but, before, when I checked  C:/Program Files/  I didn't see it as I was looking for Babylon Project or Freespace didn't think of the definite article "The"

I've got a somewhat older system: AthlonXP 2100+ w/ 512 MB RAM and Win2K.  I've been letting the installer work for over an hour and it still has not gotten past the "Please wait while windows configures your installation" or whatever that wait message is.  Meanwhile, my system process is pegged at 100% CPU usage and the rest of the computer has slowed to a crawl.  Should that be happening?  Is my computer just that old?
