Where do I have to insert the missions, assets, and capmaps?
Are they all .vp files? If yes, they go directly to your \freespace2\whatif\ folder.

Yup. I put all of them there, and the only difference was that it ALLOWED me to launch without weaponry. No possible weapon choose tho.
And there is a file called WhatIf_root.vp - if I insert it there, then an error message comes and doesn't launch anything.

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
IMPORTANT: Before you start the game, check the mod.ini in your WhatIf folder and look if the name of your FSPort folder is spelled out correctly!

FSPort is OK, but what should I do with this (mod.ini's text):

[launcher]
image255x112 = AGW_Logo.bmp;
infotext     = What If - Another Great War;
website      = http://sebastian.ramrod-network.de/Freespace/Junk-Produktions.html;
forum        = ;

[multimod]
primrylist = WhatIf;
secondrylist = FSPort_3_0_4,mediavps;


This is plain Chinese to me :)

[multimod]
primrylist = WhatIf;
secondrylist = FSPort_3_0_4,mediavps;
It's really quite simple. First, replace "secondrylist" with "secondarylist" since it is the "better" one of the two. Next, look at the part that says "FSPort_3_0_4". Then look at the name of your FSPort folder. Do they match? If yes -> success. If not, edit one of them so that they are both the same.

Actually, the easiest option is to rename your FSPort folder to "fsport" and replace the "FSPort_3_0_4" part in the mod.ini with "fsport". Without the quotation marks, of course.

Edit: Hmm. I don't have the foggiest idea of what's up with that "primrylist" line. Because a) that one is actually misspelled so that it won't work no matter what and b) this mod most certainly doesn't have any use for the "primarylist" function. You can safely remove the entire "primrylist = WhatIf;" part.

Wrong.

secondarylist = fsport,mediavps;

there is a folder named fsport, and one named fsport_mediavps; still even with a comma, it has the same problem: can't find some vasudan_navbuoy.pof or sg.

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
If you are hearing a weird sound right now, do not be alarmed. I'm just crying here...

Now. First I will assume that
- you have your FSPort MediaVP in \fsport_mediavps\
- you have the rest of the stuff in \fsport\
- you have the regular 3.6.10 MediaVPs in \mediavps\ .

Edit the mod.ini so that the secondarylist line says "secondarylist = fsport_mediavps,fsport,mediavps;" .

If this fails, forget about the FSPort MediaVP and just edit the secondarylist to "secondarylist = fsport,mediavps;" .

I'm not going to make you mad, I've just done what you've said, without asking "why do I have to write it down twice?"

It works, except one little problem (not so serious to make playing impossible tho): The Apollos are only having lights at the back (yup, they are calld engines, I forgot), and a pilot. I dunno that whether this is a tribute to Lt. Ash or what, but anyway... :)

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
Did you enable specular and glowmaps and make sure that "What If"'s mod.ini is pointed at the proper folders for the FSport and 3.6.10 MediaVPs?

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.

You should switch to a debug build and play with it until you get to the Main Hall. After that you must quit the game, find a file called fs2_open.log from your \freespace2\data\ folder and post it here.

Re: RELEASE: What If - Another Great War
The updated version of What If - Another Great War has just been uploaded. Please check the first post. What If now also uses the StormFrontStock. Important: Make sure you have the latest Stock files. There has been an update!

With some 200 bugs fixed, I really hope that it works rather clean now. :)

Hello SF-Junky,

I have a problem with your new Version of Whatif.
The Campaign not appears in the Campaign Room.

I have the updated Stormfrontstock Core.vp!

As do I, have the SFS2.1 in the StormFrontStock folder, WhatIf files and campaign pack, mod.ini changed so listed folders match the folder names on my FS2 folder, and it doesn't show up.

Oops, there's an error in the .vp file. Please re-download the mission file and overwrite the old AGW_missions.vp.
