Hi, I'm new, and first of all I gotta say: Great site you got running here
Loved FS ever since the first one came out and I'm pleasantly surprised it's still got such an active community!
And FS Open really is an awesome project which I tried for the first time today... can't wait to play all the fanmade campaigns included but I figured I'd play through the original FS games first... it's been a while...
Now here's the problem:
Playing the Great War campain of the Freespace port, I've just finished "The Darkness and the Light" and upon loading the next mission I get this error message:
Invalid intel name.
In sexpression: ( when
( true )
( allow-weapon "Flail" )
( allow-weapon "Interceptor" )
( tech-add-weapons
"Flail"
"Interceptor"
)
( tech-add-intel "Shivans" )
)
(Error appears to be: Shivans)

Any ideas what could be the cause?
Maybe forgot anything in the installation process? Here's what I did:
-installed Freespace 2 from the original 3 CDs (German version, hope that's not the prob)
-applied the 1.2 patch
-downloaded the FreespaceOpenInstaller
-installed using "The Works" option with all features included
-tried both the Media VPs and the normal FS Port with the same result
Hope you guys can help... I can't stand to leave a campaign half-finished :/
