The zip is NOT corrupted. I just downloaded it and extracted the VP, no errors.

Not the port zip, the mod.ini zip ShivanSPpS made. Sorry for any confusion.

I am still getting the error with the Pegasus in the tech room after using the mod.ini. I don't think it has to do with the media vps... I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but the GTF Pegasus is at the very bottom of the tech room ship list, where the Shivan ships should be. It is completely out of place in terms of species, and clicking on it gives me that error that I posted earlier, the same error that ShivanSps and I get after destroying the Lucifer in the next mission loading screen.

EDIT: I managed to fix the FS2 campaign problems I posted earlier.

It's either the mediaVPs or some other mod you have installed, because the Pegasus isn't in the Port tables.

and by the way, is there any way to fix the pass-over-options-and-ctd error? :)

also, i played "Alexander Bell". It looked simply beautiful with hi-polyness (mostly). Some of the SEXPs were off, like Armageddon and Apocalypse not arriving until i destroyed the Trinity was destroyed, and the escape pod didn't show up. Plus there was no directives window. :)

I'll play the FS1 campaign for some bug testing.

Oh, and it appears that shine maps for all the orion variants (not the original) seem to be too long. :)

One question Goober, for what is that number of extra ships and weapons? is for the T-V War mod? I making a campaing of - + 15 Missions, in history beggings one week before the "first" Shivan attack and end 2 days afer :D, I thinking taht I could use some of them.. Like the Angels Fighters...

Let's see... FSPort is the only mod that I have installed, so like you said it's probably the 3.6.8 media vps. This problem did not occur with FSPort 2.3, however. I restarted the Freespace campaign to see if there were any other issues, and the ones that I spotted were...
   
    1. The new starfield is missing for all missions.
    2. The turretanglefix is missing.
    3. Nameplates are missing.

We were told to remove the SCP vp, but it seems as if that vp contained those files. I am assuming that they are in the main FSPort 3.0 vp as well, but something is just not working in this case. As for the Pegasus, I have no idea what could be causing an error each time I click on the ship in the tech room within the media vps. Any suggestions on what I should do?

I've never been able to reproduce that on my machine, so I can't tell you.  It works perfectly fine here.

That could be just the way the mission designer made it.

As I said on the previous page, I uploaded a version that fixed that.

That's why we added them - so you could make campaign with the Port that have some extra ships. :)

Only what I've been saying: remove every single third-party VP and enhancement, including 2.3.

Yeah, now it works perfectly. It seems to have corrected itself.

No, not exactly. In the original FS1 version, Apocalypse and Armageddon arrive to help destroy the GTD Trinity.

Post a new thread about it then.  It could be an incompatibility or a problem with the mission converter.

Then you have something besides the FSPort there - either a table or a mediaVP. :rolleyes:

Nope. It's all FSPort. :p

Now, on the mission where you escort the Plato to Ribos (i can't remember the name for the life of me), I can finish the like normal, but when I jump out, the game CTD's with a fatal error.

Oh, and the Orions after the Galatea and Bastion variants are all low-poly. :wtf:

That has been done already, yet I am still seeing the same problems as before. I am also getting the Orion problem. If I were to push Shift+Ctrl+S in the tech room screen in the Main Freespace Campaign, the GTF Pegasus is still at the bottom. If I were to delete the 3.6.8. media vps that are in another folder for everything FS2, then the problem goes away, but then I get retail graphics of course. The way I have my folders set up is that I have a main Freespace 2 folder with subfolders of data, fsport, and mediavps. In fsport, I have all of the fs1 vps, I got rid of the original vps that you mentioned when you first released 3.0, I have the mod.ini file and the 10 .avi files, and I have a data folder that contains the high poly Ursa and Lucifer since they are not included in 3.0. Deleting any of these files does no help. As for the missing name plates, stars, and turret fixes... :confused:

I am sorry that I have repeated myself so much, it's just that I have done everything that you have already said. Maybe I am not understanding you? I only have 10 fs1 vps in my fsport folder, being fsport 3.0, the mission pack, the training mission pack, glow, hi-res, shine, sparky-hi, stu, warble, and tango... all fs1. Do any of these have to be removed? Thanks again.

Isn't the Pegasus entry created by the Media VP v3.6.8 Delta, in the file mv_core.vp in the tables folder, mv_tech-shp.tbm file, the first entry:

$Name:      GTF Pegasus
+Missile Banks: 1

See, it was made to fix the Pegasus, it wrongly has 2 Missile Banks before...it lacks the +nocreate Flag, so If it didn't exist, like in some MODs, it will be created with almost no data, not even the Model, which leads to a crash, 100% warranted. Anyways, it should be:

$Name:      GTF Pegasus
+nocreate
+Missile Banks: 1

I have already reported this before.........

Thanks, Shadow0000, that was exactly what the problem was. :)

Anyway, I've split off the old bug discussion and made a new post on the release thread.  Everyone please disregard the old posts. :)
