Welcome to the currently working campaign list [WIP](meaning this list is both currently being worked on and pointing to campaigns which are are currently working. Oh and I could always use some help, just saying.)
Anyone interested can post here in this thread or apply to get rights for keeping this GoogleDoc updated Requirements:To be able to enjoy everything from the following list to its utmost potential, there are five requirements that will need to be installed prior to any of the listed campaigns. If you are completely new and / or have no idea what to do, have a look
here. It looks far more complicated than it actually is, I promise. If that's too complicated, you could also just use the
FreeSpace Open Installer.
We have seen quite a few of different releases for Free Space Open in the last decade and apart from ever changing version numbers and a metric ton of user generated content, three of the probably most renowned and important releases were the
[1.] Mediavps,
[2.] Mediavps_3612 and
[3.] Mediavps_2014. To play everything on this list, you probably want and need all three of them as well as
[4.] Fsport, wich brings you the original experience of FreeSpace 1 to FreeSpace Open. You also want macfie's patch for Fsport to make it compatible with the Mediavps_2014
[5.] You can get it hereOh and in case you're overwhelmed by the sheer amount of available campaigns, please feel free to consult
Battutta's campaign guide on what to play first or next.
Due to the fact that FSO is an ever evolving project, campaign compatibility has always been an issue. To be able to make certain campaigns playable again, people like the FSCRP (FreeSpace Campaign Restoration Project) have stepped up to update older Campaigns to work with newer builds and more shiny graphics. As there has been no 'global' documentation as to this point in time, half of the available content is either outdated and / or broken with current builds, which makes especially trying to get some of the smaller projects working, some sort of a hit or miss endeavour. Due to the fact that it is possible to easily customize the appropriate mod.ini of any given campaign to use a newer version of the mediavps - especially because that step is not working with all campaigns - the compiling of this list was started. And is still in progress. And will keep being in progress either as long as I remain an active member of HLP or until no new content is ever released anymore. Not seeing either happening anytime soon, so I guess we're good for the time being.

*I also present the
FSport Legacy Campaign Bundle (I take no credit for any content whatsoever, all rights remain the respective author's rights) containing: 25th Year, Alliance Fights Back, Battle For Altair, Duke Squad, Dark Raji, D-W, Hellwolf, Infinite Dimension, Internal Conflicts Ep1, Marduk's Shroud, New Beginnings, Nubian Conflict, Ross128, Second Vasudan War, Special Ops, Start of the Vasudan War, Tango, The Counterstrike, The McCarthy Campaign, The Road to Victory, Vasudan Academy, War, Wolfpack Legacy and a few other standalone missions I scooped together, which you can access from the tech room, all bundled together into one extractable RAR.
Needs 3.7.2 RC1, otherwise a few campaigns fail to load or have errors.The things on this list either work fully or to some extent. This list ist probably not yet complete and needs additions, so I would be glad for any suggestions. I will also cross-reference with scotty's campaign repository as well as ModDB, Sectorgame and FSMods to check if there's some more working campaigns I missed after I managed to test everything already on the list here.
Broken Campaign List as of 3.7.0 and later
Marduk's Shroud - First missions crashes on startup, but you can skip to mission 2 via CTRL + SHIFT + S in the tech room mission simulator and play the other 5 missions just fine.
Allied Worlds &
Allied Forces 109 Errors on startup and 24 missing ship classes. Epic fights between Ulysses, Ulysses and even more Ulysses.
Any help with keeping this project up to date by reporting issues or suggesting additional entries would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: By suggestion of Cyborg17
I can haz made a GoogleDoc. It doesn't look pretty (changing all the html codes in the document was bothering enough), but it works. Anyone who is willing to help and wants permission to edit, please step up. I will keep updating both this thread and the doc regularly and implement any changes that have been made in the doc here.
UPDATE:
With 3.7.2 RC4 being out, I won't retest everything for now, but I will do all future testing with 3.7.2 RC4. Until eventually the final version comes out. Not sure if happy or sad.
UPDATE 13.09.14: Partial thread overhaul! More to follow.
