I cant get the port to work.

I downloaded the updated mission pack and the enhanced FS1 sparky vps....got the other vps and stuff off my FS1 CDs.....I use the MOD option in the launcher to run the port. In the CAMPAIGN screen and when I RUN...I remember that in the campaign screen it should show THE GREAT WAR or some such...but apparently its not working. What am I doing wrong?

What isn't working?  Error messages?  Missing ships?  Campaign problems?  You'll have to give us a complete error report otherwise we won't be able to help you.

[EAD_Agamemnon]

No error messages. No nothing. Just isnt showing up. Hmm....let me put it another way...

In the port mod folder...WHAT should be present VP wise. I got the voice and cbanims from my FS1 cds.
What I do have in the VPs is:

FSPort3_0_4
sparky_hi_fs1
FSPort-Missions
FSPort-Glow
FSPort-Shine
Stu_FS1

The voices and music I pulled from my FS1 CDs and put them in their subfolders...


When I use the mod option in the launcher. I make a new pilot (I then see the FS2 hangar screen...this right???)
To make sure I have the GREAT WAR (I remember in previous port builds it would say this) as my campaign in the campaign room. It's not even there..all I see is the main FS2 campaign.

Last time I did the port it was with one of the 2. versions where I simply took the difficult route of putting stuff in the fs2 folders themselves and had no probs.

You have everything in the right place; but for some reason the fsport mod isn't running.  You should see the FS1 main hall, and the FS1 campaign listed in the campaign room.

What's the command line you're using?

[EAD_Agamemnon]

I'm not exactly clear on what you mean..

[Goober5000]

What do you have in the circled part?

Ill check when I get back from work. (this answer I'm just leaving for it. no time to check)
I'm running 303 patched to 304.....I think I might have to download 304 iteself. Ill get that info on my return

[EAD_Agamemnon]

C:\FreeSpace2\fs2_open_367_p4.exe -mod FS1-FS2Port3 -spec -glow -pcx32 -jpgtga -cell -rlm -dualscanlines -targetinfo -orbradar -ballistic_gauge -nobeampierce -smart_shields -ship_choice_3d -3dwarp -snd_preload -env -alpha_env -decals

Thats what I have there. I'm downloading the new MVs so I can run 3.6.8 zeta or 3.6.9.....but even with 367 I should be seeing something work.

It might be my fsport itself...I'll have to download 304 itself instead of using 303 and patching it. (I reinstalled 303 that I downloaded some time ago and it dont do squat either.)

[Goober5000]

You're using a really old build.  I doubt that 3.6.7 is the problem, but even so, 3.6.9 is much more stable.  Use that instead.

Also, your Port folder should really be named fsport instead of something like FS1-FS2Port3.

You must have your folders set up incorrectly.  Can you post some screenshots?

[EAD_Agamemnon]

Well....the misnaming of my port folder was the culprit. I just downloaded the updated MV files to get 3.6.9 to work since the ones I was using were old.

[Goober5000]

K, good to hear.
