The movies will still be on the disk. You can copy the mve files from disk 2 and 3 to a folder called movies inside your data folder to prevent that.

It's starting to sound to me like ZmaN or DW Hunter has a dodgy copy of the ISOs I'll have to look into this. I'm using Daemon Tools 3.47 and I can mount the FreeSpaceZone files with no problems. Which version is everyone else using?

[Polpolion]

Well the moivies still don't work, and I even tried putting them right in the main FS2 directory, like they are in the HOTU version, but they still don't work. And the Custom missions don't work either: ' please insert disk 2 '. I have the crack installed too. Oh yeah, I used Nero 7.

[karajorma]

That crack definately should have solved that. I don't see how a no CD crack could have failed to solve that in fact.

You did unrar everything in the rar file to your FS2 folder right?

[ZmaN]

well my ISO filea re working fine..  I just got Freespace 2 Installed yesterday by running disc 1 from the hard drive and discs 2 and 3 mounted using daemon tools so they are NOT BAD ISO'S!  they worked for me, so they should work for everyone else....

You see the odd thing is that I've heard DW-Hunter say that the ISOs won't mount with Daemon Tools (Which quite frankly is the first time I've ever heard of that happening) and you got them from him so I was wondering.

[Polpolion]

I re-extracted it, and now it works - no more 'no cd' messages thanks.

BUT, now I can't play ANY missions. I can't even look at their breifings! midway thru loading the mission, a error message popped up saying:     FreÂspace' must quit           freespace IS mentioned like that in the message.

(I must be cursed! look at all the problems I'm having. You guys must be starting to get pissed-off at me. I know I would)

[karajorma]

Which custom missions are you trying to play? Cause if you're running an FS2_Open mission on retail FS2 you should expect crashes.

[Polpolion]

IT WORKS!!!! YAY!!!! (sorry about caps, just very happy) YAY!!!!! After 4 years of knowing and wanting the retail version of FreeSpace 2 ---YAY!!!!!!!!!!!--- and a myriad of errors, re-installations, and posting for help in forums, I finally have a fully functinal copy of FREESPACE 2!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!! SORRY ABOUT CAPS!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! *stopping now*

that seems TOTALLY bogus...

Congradulations on your finctional copy of FS2, sizzler!

[ZmaN]

ummm...

who is and who ISN'T having trouble accessing the FTP?

[ZmaN]

its not working right now, but dont take the sticky down, I'm going to reinstall IIS (Internet Information Services) through XP Pro and that should fix it, so give it about a week...

thanks guys, Zman..

again sorry about...

[ZmaN]

ok I think I fixed it..  The router was discarding any iformation it couldnt verify.  I disabled that for my computer only and it let me on so it should work now...

[Zoinky]

Was working earlier and I managed to get disc 1.  Now I either can't get on, or if I can get on, the transfer never starts (in both normal and passive modes it SAYS it's starting, but no data is actually received).

By can't get on, I mean this:
Connected to 67.84.198.176.
421
User (67.84.198.176:(none)): anonymous
Connection closed by remote host.


I'm not sure if I need to do anything special on your server or not... though I did manage to get disc 1 just fine.

[Edit: I do notice that it says 421 when connecting, instead of the regular 220 that get when I'm able to login to the server.]

[ZmaN]

OK ATTENTION EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is one step to getting you Browser to access my FTP.... 

(For IE)  Go to tools, then internet options, then click the advanced tab, scroll down to the option that says "Use Passive FTP (For firewall and DSL Modem Compatibility)"  If that is on, tick it off and see if you can access the FTP, if its off, tick it on and do the same thing...


This should fix the problms people have been having accessing the FTP...

Hope this helps, ZMan.....

[roets]

Gaining acces to the ftp is a breeze now. Instant acces for me. thanks!

[Polpolion]

Hey ZMan, when ya gonna get FS1 iso's up there?

[ZmaN]

Gaining acces to the ftp is a breeze now. Instant acces for me. thanks!

Hey ZMan, when ya gonna get FS1 iso's up there?

thanks, Zman...

Maybe I should remind you that technically FS1 is not abandonware, even though FS2 might be. So distributing FS1 CD-images would be illegal. Sorry to say but us admins are obliged to at least remove links where you are able to download FS1 CD-images.

Instead, get FS2 and download the FreeSpace Conversion.

My goodness, you can pick up Freespace 1 + Silent Threat off of ebay for $10, if you really really want the original FS1 material.  The FS conversion has the same stuff as the original.  I'm not sure if the original music is there, but I know that the original music does not work with the FSC, unless you edit all the missions.

Anywho..  Dropping 10 measely dollars on a piece of history (Yes, I consider it that) is trivial!  I'd understand not wanting to pay 50-100 dollars for FS2's re-relase some dood is selling on ebay, but egads...

then how come Stealth had an FTP set up with the FS1 ISO's uploaded on it?  was that taken down?

(its in the Freespace 2 download thread by Matthew papa)
