Just found this in the "Where Heroes go to die" Mission


And took this from the subspace mission, would have made a good mystery pic or logo.

SCP? nice.

Help a noob!

Sorry for digging this thread up again, but I'm playing through Homesick with SCP and I've hit a snag. Unless I'm going blind, this wasn't mentioned yet in the thread, so it's likely a problem with my install.

In the Hmsk-D1.fs2 mission ("Trivial Pursuit" I believe), the Geryon and Tantlin never appear. I've tried it a few times, but the same thing happens.

I get the warp-in graphics for both by the node, but neither ship actually appears. I get all the comms triggered by their arrival, just no ships.

I have a few mods, but I think I've isolated all of them in their own directories (rather than main FS2 dir).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kragg

WMCoolmon:

Sheer Brilliance. Can't believe I missed that.

Kragg: I have no idea what that could be...What mods do you have?

[Kragg]

Let's see if I can lay it all out here:

HOTU FS2 install
FSO 3.6
Launcher 5
ls_neb.vp (if I understand correctly, this is all of Lightspeed's nebulas in one VP file?)

The following are in their own directories, accessed with -MOD switch:
Fall of Epsilon Pegasi (only one I've played through so far - nice job, BR!)
Homesick (duh)
Just Another Day
Renegade Ressurgence
Second Front

Everything was downloaded within the last 2 months, from the most recent links I could find (although, being a noob, I may well have missed somthing).

If you're getting the warp-in animations, then those ships are definitely showing up.  Why they aren't visible is another matter entirely.  Do all shivan ships have this problem, or just those two in particular?

[Kragg]

Just those two. And I'm sure I saw them in a previous mission. I can also see them in FRED (displaying ship models) -- those are the in-game models, right?

I'll have to double-check that previous mission. It's possible I played it (and saw the Geryon and Tantlin) before I reorganized my FS2 directory (moving mods to subdirs). It's 1:30 am right now; I'll get right on that tomorow.

I'm hoping its a bad table or something that might also explain why I can't add jumpnodes in FRED.

Aha! This may or may not be the cause but you should go to my FAQ's download section and download and install the HotU Crack Pack.

You're basically running FS2 1.0 when you should be running FS2 1.2 before you install FS2_Open.


About your HotU install. Have you downloaded the missing vp files from the FTP? If not then it's very possible that something in your data folder is interfering with the appearance of those ships.

[Unknown_Enemy]

Yuk...

In the very beginning of the campaign, when you escort a convoy betwen capella to Beta Aquilae, I cannot jump out. All the convoy has jumped, my commander ordered us to break and jump, but my main objective is not completed and when I reach the jum node and I try to alt-j, all I get is a 'you cannot jump at this time' message.

What the hell ?

My config :
FS + patch 1.2
FS open  : fs2_open_C20050415.exe
vp 3.6.6
Shine_FS2_1.1_c
GlowLTL-build12.0.zip

Blaise I am really unlucky with your campaign, I am also stuck in derelict (mission in a nebulae, where you never get the order to gety out).

Sigh..

[Cobra]

just use retail, because sometimes SCP really ****s up retail missions. you'll need to reinstall it though, since CP has now classified it as an scp mission.

[karajorma]

Hmmm. Don't like Cobra's solution one little bit. Lets see if the error is in the mission. *blows the dust off his Homesick folder*

Did you get a message that went like this?

 

"Alright then. Neptune, depart for Capella. Alpha and Beta, once we're through, follow us into Capella"

i was talking about reinstalling the campaign.

[karajorma]

Still don't like it. I doubt the VP file is the problem here. Either the build is the problem or it's a flaw in the mission.

[Cobra]

no, because i also had a problem with SCP screwing up a mission that worked just fine in retail.

[karajorma]

Which means that the problem was the build. No need to reinstall the campaign at all. What needed doing was a good report of the bug and wait for it to be fixed. Reinstalling will only help in the case of a corrupt VP file. It's completley pointless otherwise.

So do I.

Nope. Last message I get is to break escort formation and jump to Beta Aquilae. I was not going to capella, but from capella to Beta Aquilae.
