Re: Freespace Port 3.0.4 Released!
These should be in your fsport folder.  Nothing else.  (besides a data folder, FS will create that for you, but in the meantime, open it (go into the data folder) and delete everything except for the cache folder found there.

Re: Freespace Port 3.0.4 Released!
Ya, you can... you want the CDs, for retail (low-res), or FSPort, which is the same thing, except upgraded to SCP?  (Which is what I have in my directory above.)
EDIT: Try Nukelol.com's FS site if you want the retail discs.  I would recommend FSPort, however.

Re: Freespace Port 3.0.4 Released!
Then i'm sorry for more noobs questions, but i cant make nothing out of the folder structure to make this mod work. I've worked with mod files before but from a diferente game (Dawn of War) so i have some knowledge of structures but this mod is diferent. Which files are need to to export from the mod tools to the folder FSPort? i have al the files .VP from the ZIPs in the FSPort folder but there isnt a recognition from the game campaign manager so im doing something wrong. If someone could explain what to me i would apreciated.

Thanks for the welcome

Welcome to HLP, Darknessknight.

Welcome to HLP. There are exits to the left and rear. Do not attempt to use them. Under your seat you will find empty beer cans, cookie crumbs, corpses of newbies, dog eared dungeon Porn mags left by Shrike... oh, and a Flamethrower. Unfortunately, we're out of napalm, so you'll have to bludgeon people to death with them.

In the event of serious conflict, there are plasma rifles in the forward locker, though these can only be opened by an Admin, [V], God, or Hyperintelligent shade of the colour Blue. If, for whatever reason, you find yourself crawling around in the ductwork, there's a better than average chance you'll encounter a Shivan. They're easy to spot with the five legs and all. If you're lucky, it's just Carl, who responds well to food rewards. If not, then at least you die quickly. Be aware that the entrance to the main control room is guarded by subspatial claymore mines.

Do not mention FS3. Karajorma's FAQ is your friend. Worship SCP team as Gods. Have a nice day.

Re: Freespace Port 3.0.4 Released!
Uhm, ok, let me try.

So, you have all the necessary FSPort vp files from a thread or the site? And they're all in their own folder (named FSPort or something like it) within the FreeSpace 2 main folder? Good. To be able to play FSPort, you have to open the Launcher, select the MOD tab, click on the Select MOD button, select the FSPort folder and hit OK. Then just start the game, create a new pilot for  the Port and select the correct campaign from the campaign room. That's pretty much it. Or was there something else going on here?

Re: Freespace Port 3.0.4 Released!
the mod.ini.

You should also have a file called mod.ini in your fsport folder... if it is not there, create it (txt file, rename it to an ini)

It should contain this:
Code: [Select]
[launcher]
infotext     = FreeSpace 1, now ported to run on the FreeSpace 2 engine.;
website      = http://fsport.hard-light.net/;
forum        = http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/board,39.0.html;

[multimod]
primarylist  = ;
secondrylist = ,mediavps (or whatever name you gave the mediavps folder);

[settings]

then, you can play fsport with the mediavp goodiness.

Please do not use the obsolete tricky syntax you've posted for Secondary list. It was needed for old versions of Launcher. Launcher 5.5 do not need them any more. Use this syntax instead:

Code: [Select]
[launcher]
infotext     = FreeSpace 1, now ported to run on the FreeSpace 2 engine.;
website      = http://fsport.hard-light.net/;
forum        = http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/board,39.0.html;

[multimod]
primarylist  = ;
secondarylist = mediavps (or whatever name you gave the mediavps folder);

[settings]

(secondarylist instead of secondrylist and no initial comma).
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES WITH FS2:
  • Please, please, please, READ and UNDERSTAND the sticky threads in FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support board.
    A lot of people are willing to help you, but, as anyone can understand, seeing the very same "issues" repeated again and again can become quite depressing. Please, spend a bit of time trying to solve the issue by yourself.
    (Lobo deserves a monument).
  • Then, if you aren't still able to solve your issue, feel free to ask for help in that same board.
    FYI, most of the troubles are caused by wrong mod installations which lead to either missing data or undesired cross-effects between them. Always follow the mod installation instructions and keep a clean FS2 installation as explained in the sticky threads. Two additional links about how the game handles game data:
  • If you think that you've discovered a bug, mantis it.
    Provide as much info as you can, and try to narrow it down. A lonely "FS2 doesn't work" is not a good report.

Re: Freespace Port 3.0.4 Released!
That was actually a straight copy from my .mod.ini... but okay, correcting all my .mod.ini's right now.

Re: Freespace Port 3.0.4 Released!
Ya, well, both versions work, but the new convention is the "correct" way to do it.  So, if you're copying from an old mod.ini when giving instructions, just be sure you proofread them & correct as necessary.  However, you don't really need to change all your mod.inis to the new convention unless you want to; as I said, the old version still works.

 
Re: Freespace Port 3.0.4 Released!
And then the major question: Will it still work when the new SCP release comes out?

Yes.

However, when they do away with mod.inis (3.7.0?), they will be moot, IIRC.

Re: Freespace Port 3.0.4 Released!
Is there a single download version of this with best version everything (textures, UI etc) included? I'd rather download 3 GB thing that just works than 30+2+5+2+2+6+7+4+6+7+6 etc small packages and try so figure how they fit together. I'll be playing TBP in the meantime since the offered a nice 900 MB download - there's few minor issues in their 3.4 release but I don't mind downloading that 900 MB again as it's not out of my time when it's going there in the background.

The first post (op) says Go Here and there's a LONG list of things you may or may not want to get for best graphics. These things should be included and enabled by default and if there's a performance issue then you disable them.

Re: Freespace Port 3.0.4 Released!
There isn't any single-download option here. The simplest thing is to go to http://fsport.hard-light.net and download anything that sounds important. Then just extract everything to /freespace/fsport.

Or, if you want to use Turey's Installer, download everything FSPort related.
