[Commander Zane]

Danke, now I shall try it out.

[Jeff Vader]

Code: [Select]

secondrylist = StormFrontStock,fsport,fsport-mediavps,mediavps;

1. It could be "secondarylist", since "secondrylist" is a half-arsed fix that is needed in Launcher 5.4 and older versions.
2. Shouldn't the order be "StormFrontStock,fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps"?

[Rodo]

1. It could be "secondarylist", since "secondrylist" is a half-arsed fix that is needed in Launcher 5.4 and older versions.

Is that so? well you look at that, I always thought i was necesary to have secondrylist instead of secondarylist, never knew why...good to know.

[Macfie]

order should be "StormFrontStock,fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps".  fsport-mediavps should precede fsport.

[sfwarlock]

So to dig this one up, I'm getting the following error when I try to play this:

weapons.tbl(line 4782:
Error: Required token = [#End] or [$Name:], found [2.2]
in weapon: MX-64#Shivan
.

<no module>! KiFastSystemCallRet
<no module>! WaitForSingleObject + 18 bytes
<no module>! <no symbol>
<no module>! <no symbol>

[General Battuta]

Post up a debug log, plz.

[sfwarlock]

Removed, see updated one below.

[General Battuta]

Are you supposed to have this

Found root pack 'C:\games\Freespace2\WhatIf\data\AGW_missions.vp' with a checksum of 0xe46d4591

loading twice like that? Try removing the one in /WhatIf/data/.

Somebody needs to go into the storm front weapons table and look at line 4782.

Somebody needs to go into the storm front weapons table and look at line 4782.

The only weapons.tbl I found is in WhatIf_root.vp, and it looks like the error message is indeed about it. Not that I understand enough about what I'm looking at to know what's wrong:

I know this is getting old, but I just got around to playing it.

Honestly, I really liked it.  My main concern is the writing.  A lot of the sentence constructions are weird for English.  I'm not sure what the native language of the writer is, but you definitely love using subjunctive mood. 

And then why do we get the Avenger for the first few missions, and not again until later?

[SF-Junky]

I know this is getting old, but I just got around to playing it.

Honestly, I really liked it.  My main concern is the writing.  A lot of the sentence constructions are weird for English.  I'm not sure what the native language of the writer is, but you definitely love using subjunctive mood.  

The writer's native language is german and the issue with WhatIf is that a english native speaker never got his/her hands to it.

And then why do we get the Avenger for the first few missions, and not again until later?

In the Storm Front timeline, the Avenger was developed a few years before 2335, but compared to ballistic weapons still used at that time it was too expensive for mass production until the Shivans show up with their shield tech. That is why you may use it in mission 2 and not in missions 2, 3 or 4. It's a special weapon.

The idea behind it is that I considered it very stupid that the GTA developes half a dozen new weapons and ships within a matter of one or two months.

[Solatar]

The writer's native language is german and the issue with WhatIf is that a english native speaker never got his/her hands to it.

Fitting considering I had an exam covering mostly German subjunctive - especially where it's used in German where not in English - verbs the same week I played through this.  I suspected a German. 

[DOCTOR DOOM!!!]

Sorry to bring back a 2 year old thread, but I have a problem in the capture Arjuna mission where after I disable Arjuna 1, Charon jumps in and instead docking with Arjuna 1 and jumping out, it flys around doing nothing about 2 clicks away, Essentially acting as a support ship!!! I say this because if you call for rearm after you disable Arjuna 1, Instead of support warping in, Charon docks with you and rearms you!  Needless to say I am stuck in the Campaign at this point unless I exit loop I guess and I don't wanna do that!

[Goober5000]

This is a known bug.  What you could try is manually editing the mission to disable support.

[CT27]

Sorry for the large bump, but I was just linked to this thread by Macfie.

What's the plot of this campaign?

[Lepanto]

It's actually an FS1 remake. Kinda neat, with more ships/weapons to choose from and capships with actual firepower, but not the campaign you were looking for. Its version of Good Luck sucks though; you may want to just cheat your way past it.

[mosshadow]

Excuse me but the link is broken and I would really like to try this. Is there another way to download it?
