Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Does War in Heaven have cockpit view ?

Not by default. You could enable it with a simple .tbm.

Does that mean, you have high poly version of Cockpit view or the default one ?

All of the player-flyable ships have high-resolution cockpits by default. But, as Battuta said, you need to enable this via tbm.

So stoked that the window to start the download doesn't even show up.
I thought 256k was faster than 64k, guess I was wrong, **** these Iraqi ISPs.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
I'm getting an error about the sound.tbls.

Code: [Select]
sounds.tbl(line 342:
Error: Missing required token: [#Flyby Sounds End]. Found [$UEF: 1 T_flyby2.wav, 0, 0.75, ]  instead.

kernel32.dll! WaitForSingleObject + 18 bytes

fs2_open_3_6_12r_INF_SSE2.exe! <no symbol>

Is this a problem with my FS2 Open install (the <no symbol> thing), or some part of my BP install?  I'm redownloading my bp2-audio1 file just in case.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Found it!  Turns out my mediavps_3612 directory had an extra folder in it, making it "mediavps_3612 -> mediavps_3612 -> files" which doesn't work too well.  My fault for not checking after I unzipped stuff.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
1.  Intro was outstanding.
2.  use of music in missions is phenomenal
3.  How the hell do these checkpoints work?  I failed a secondary objective and I was hoping I wouldn't have to start the mission from the beginning...

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Checkpoints are generally set after some significant event in the mission. They're also not present in every mission (they require player-persistant variables, of which there are only 100, and at the moment we're using 93). In general, they're set up so that if you have unlocked one, you can be sure that you can continue the campaign when reloading from the checkpoint.

To activate one that you have unlocked, you need to open the comm menu at the beginning of the mission, and select the checkpoint from the reinforcements menu.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
I got a problem... I followed all the steps to the letter, the game started good, the movie went great, then it got to the next part, a journal entree?

And I got this

Could not load in FictionViewer-m!
kernel32.dll! WaitForSingleObjectEx + 49 bytes
kernel32.dll! WaitForSingleObject + 18 bytes
fs2_open_3_6_12r_INF.exe! <no symbol>

I press ok and it goes to the entree then I cant advance any further. I try to click the button to proceed but no luck.

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Read the release post. Make sure you follow all items on the checklist. This error probably means that you do not have the new mediavps installed correctly.

Off topic: What. Really? I might have to rethink an idea or two...unless this is being addressed by the new pilot code? </wishing>
On topic: Yay! Oh, hang on. I really need to get around to installing a larger hard drive, what with this and the new mediavps. Will be DLing when that's done though.

High Res, you said ? :p

Re: BP: War in Heaven discussion
Cockpits are whatever is present on the model. BP by and large uses only public assets, we try to optimize and improve stuff but we have never really added new stuff like cockpits.

If someone wants to model cockpits for those ships it'd be awesome.

You will be notified every time you unlock a checkpoint and upon mission start if you have a checkpoint available in the mission.

It appears that notification for the m01 checkpoint is broken. I am fixing.

UPDATE: Checkpoint notification for m01 was broken because an event accidentally became chained due to a certain clumsy bat mis-clicking prior to release. The fix is now in, but it'll have to wait for the first patch. In the meantime, m01 checkpoint can be activated after it is unlocked by going to the reinforcements menu in the first 15 seconds of the mission.

Make sure all the mediavp files are actually in the first mediavps folder (the one in the freespace main directory) and not in a second mediavps folder in the first one.  That's where I was getting my problem, at least. :nervous:
