So much for the "Works on My Machine (tm)" seal of approval. :(

Is this happening to anybody else?

I have the same problem with the 2nd mission (the red alert one).
My HUD is misplaced, can't see a thing, can't move, shoot or whatever and Alpha marker shows as if I'm dead :/

I'm using 3.6.10 with corresponding MediaVPs...
Had the same problem in another campaign, don't remember which one, but it involved red alert mission too...

If anyone finds a solution to this problem, he's gonna get an FS Peace Nobel Prize :D

You're getting a red-alert error, as the game thinks you're dead. Congrats, you're a ghost! To fix, either remove the red-alert flag via FRED, or get some 3.6.10 build.

Thanks guys for your replies and honestly, I might just do that (removing the flag) if you'd only tell me HOW...
I'm not a FREDder, so please, KISS (keep it simple and stupid)...

Thanks

I'd also prefer the Notepad method, as my FRED keeps saying something about stuff I don't have... (unknown ship/weapon classes).

Get a tool capable of opening .vp files, such as VPView.
Open the Shivans! .vp, go to its \data\missions\ folder and extract the mission file from it.
Open the extracted mission file with Notepad.
Find the part that says "+Red Alert: 1" and change it to "+Red Alert: 0", without quotations.
Save the mission file.
Place the mission file to \freespace2\shivans\data\missions\ . Create the directory. Do not attempt to place the modified mission file back to the .vp.

Sure thing.
I only needed the part where to look for the flag so that I don't mess things up.
As for the *.vp and stuff, I've already learnt my lesson :P

Besides, the missions are all extracted to Data/missions anyway  :wtf:

Too bad it's soooooooo short...

I'd love to see it as a full-fledged campaign ^^

And what if somewhere near the end Shivans encountered a species SUPERIOR to their own? OMG, Volition, why, oh why haven't you released FS3... We want answers...

Anyway, Shivans! is a superb production, I especially enjoyed reading the tech-database with entries about both species and Bosch ^^

I'm certainly gonna keep my eye on this release :)

PS: am I the only one who finds fallic resemblence in this tubular supership...?
