Will try it out.

I was just digging through the FRED2 manual in preparation for giving the walkthrough a spin, and I happened to stumble across a paragraph explaining the use of directives that reminded me of this thread;

You can also specify the default key the player should press to bring about this event; this is useful mostly in training missions. In a training mission (see the Mission Specs Editor), if you surround the name of the key with dollar signs ("Press $spacebar$"), FreeSpace 2 will automatically adjust if the player has remapped their keys.

So yeah, what FSF said should work, though I'm not sure if it strictly applies only to missions with the "Training" flag.

the first 1 min 15 sec of this song would be EPIC for like a huge battle between cap ships.

The game keeps crashing on the "The Great Preservers" mission. I herd that the 3.6.9 mediavps work but 3.6.10 doesn't. Can someone verify this and give me a link to were i can download the 3.6.9 mediavps?

[General Battuta]

Do you have a 3.6.10 build selected, the 3.6.10 MediaVPs, and the 3.6.10 version of Blue Planet?

You shouldn't need the 3.6.9 MVPs at all. Blue Planet works fine under 3.6.10.

[General Battuta]

Okay, an update. Are you using the 3.6.9 or 3.6.10 versions of Blue Planet? If the former, then switching to a 3.6.9 build (not the 3.6.9 MediaVPs) may solve the problem. But try downloading a recent version of Blue Planet from here.

[Jeff Vader]

3.6.9 mediavps...
3.6.9 mediavps

3.6.9 MediaVPs

8! The 3.6.8 MediaVPs. 3.6.9 MediaVPs do not even exist.

I herd that the 3.6.9 mediavps work but 3.6.10 doesn't.

Actually, both the 3.6.8 and the 3.6.10 MediaVPs have proven to work with Blue Planet. Though if you're using the 3.6.10 MediaVPs, you should really be using the official 3.6.10 build as well. And BP 3.6.10.

[Armageddon]

Yea I was using an older version of the campaign, I got the new one and it works fine now. Thanks General Battuta

[Marcov]

Hello.

I've just downloaded this campaign, however like ShadowGorrath, the lasers don't show their usual flashing effect! How can I fix this?

Plus, when I entered the main menu, it said something like "there are 33 error messages. Continue?". Is this a problem with me putting the mod in the wrong place? Or am I missing a download? I have 3.6.10 version of FS2 Open. Help, please!!! This is an awesome campaign, I know, and I don't wanna stop playing it just because the lasers are invisible!! 

[The E]

In order to determine whether your install was done correctly, we'll need a fs2_open.log. Just run a debug build with BP selected as a mod, and post the log file from the data folder.

Now, as for the weapon effects, please take a look at the known issues to see if they can be fixed with the solution presented there.

[Fury]

Marcov, you have downloaded old version of the mod. Get it from links in this topic: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=61406.0

[Commander Zane]

The latest one seems to have any and every new GTVA ship not appear after the first mission you play.

Example, the Duke pursuit missions, the Duke is not there.
Cheat around a bit, mission with the Demon, the Temeraire never appears but the cutscene still plays.

[Fury]

Sorry but something is totally screwed on your end, that's not the mod's fault.

[The E]

That's.....slightly worrying. Also, impossible. Can you run debug with one of those missions and post the log? I suspect this is either a setup or pilot file issue.

[Commander Zane]

Sorry but something is totally screwed on your end, that's not the mod's fault.

Sorry, but this is with a fresh install of game, FSO, and mod.
So it's not my end.

[The E]

Actually, it is. Consider: You are the first person to notice this, despite this being one of the most popular mods around. What does that tell you?

[Commander Zane]

...fresh install of game, FSO, and mod.

Popularity has nothing to do with anything, if I have completely fresh, untouched installs of everything needed to play this and something is somehow screwed up, then there's something wrong with the mod.

[Fury]

By all means, you can believe what you want. Since you don't actually want to try to solve your problem, have fun.

[The E]

Popularity has nothing to do with anything, if I have completely fresh, untouched installs of everything needed to play this and something is somehow screwed up, then there's something wrong with the mod.

Actually, it does. BP 3.6.10 saw several hundreds (or at least dozens) of downloads since August (that's when the most recent version was released to the public). You are the first one to report that specific problem. Now tell me why NOONE ELSE HAS NOTICED THIS BEFORE YOU.

[Commander Zane]

How about both of you install everything from scratch then yourselves and see if the problem is reproduced?
I happened to wipe every trace of FreeSpace from my system because the problem came up in the first place.
And then it happens again.
