Ok, apparently my sound issue was the result of updating my sound card drivers. Apparently I have to rerun the openAL installer whenever I change drivers.

Goober could you add the Date next to the Missions Pack download, so we can now when the Missions are updated, and also if we have the last version without going on downloading everytime someone one doesn't know the data/version, just like the date in the CVS Builds.

I don't think that'd be a good idea, because then people would expect a new update if the mission pack is X days out of date. The missions haven't changed since they were first uploaded; I've just done a few minor bug fixes.  Most people won't notice any difference between versions.

1 Goofball thing I've noticed so far: In the "Meet the Taranis" mission, the aten class cruiser doesn't seem to get blown up very easily. I actually ended up getting annoyed and blowing it up myself.

[Darklord42]

Do you have it on easy? 

[m2258734a]

Let's see, after playing the game until the mission where you escort the Plato, I have found a few things...
    1.) During the briefing for the second training mission, it will stay on the same screen until I push next to hear the rest of the briefing. If I do not push next, the mission can start. However, if I push next to hear the rest, the mission will not start and the game crashes.
    2.) While the Fenris cruiser had its name plate during the first few missions, "GTSC PLATO" is nowhere to be seen on the Plato in that mission.

I will keep you posted on other things that might pop up. Thanks.

Please post this on Mantis.

Do you have the hi-poly Faustus?

[m2258734a]

Bingo. I just now noticed that the Faustus is not the high poly version. But I have it... in the media vps, and I have the mod.ini that ShivanSpS created for FSPort. Hmmmm? I'm guessing that files with the same name are being used in the FS1 vps that contain the older model, same goes for the Lucifer. Do you know what is causing this? Thanks.

[NGTM-1R]

Also conversion broke something in MDU-25 "The GTI Shadow", because it gives you the RTB message right at the beginning. I know it didn't do that in the original.

Run it in FS2 retail.  If it happens there too, it's a mission bug.  If not, it's a SCP bug and it should go on Mantis.

Well, it may not be a bug, for whatever reason I'm unable to reproduce it now.

Yup.  We modified some models (subsystem placement, dockpoints etc.) because of certain needs for ST:R.  We would have to do the same thing for the mediaVP models.

oh, and can you see why the mission where you escort the Plato crashes whenever i jump out? i'd give you a debug or something but i get an endless number of "inital must be initial" errors.

[Fenrir]

You need a more recent version of FSO.   Something from after March 1.

That fixed that, but now it always crashes whenever I highlight any of the moving parts of the mainhall on the left side of the screen in both the March 1 and 6 builds.

[Admiral Nelson]

I too occasionally get crashes in the mainhall with the latest build.  Also I can confirm the crash someone else reported in the training mission.  Otherwise this is looking pretty slick.  Thanks for all the work.

Is there any reason you have retained the FS2 Success / Failure / Average music?  I replaced these with the FS1 equivalents and now have no FS2 music at all.

Here's an easy fix for the inital thing in March 1st+ builds.  Open your tables up in Wordpad and select the "replace word" feature.  Tell it to look for "inital" (including the quotation marks) and replace it with initial (no quotation marks).  Once the change is complete, save it under another name and then swap it out with your standard ships.tbl when playing under debug.

Hi, I'm relatively new to all this business, and just yesterday downloaded both the SCP upgrades, and the FS1 conversion files. Played through a lot of the FS2 campaign without any trouble, but when trying to load FS2 up with the FS1 conversion files in place, I get the following after trying to select a pilot:

Any ideas? -.-


Edit: This too

The second problem could be because you didn't download (or haven't patched) sparky_hi_fs1.  I'm not sure what the first problem is.

[SaxRussel]

The problem seemed to have been that I downloaded the correct sparky file, but then patched it anyway.

I actually have already looked for inital in ships. there isn't anything with the word initial except for techroom descriptions.

I have just downloaded the newer missions pack.  But when i started the fs1 mod the apollo has now been replaced with the Ulyssus.  I was wondering if this was caused by the missions pack or not. unfortionatly I replaced the old one with the new one so i cant check.

This wouldn't happen with the mission pack.   It would only happen if you have some other mod getting in the way, like 2.3.

[Darklord42]

I don't i deleated all that was part of 2.3 along time ago. and like I said it was working before
