Where did you notice that? Several campaigns make heavy use of that feature.

I think I first noted the feature in the mission "The Number of the Beast." Altair Station being so far off, I just decided to waste some time and fly in formation with my wing towards the hangar bay (after the carnage had stopped). Then, the mission suddenly ended suddenly ended successfully. Quite cool.

It always did make far more sense to be able to fly right up to the fighterbay of the destroyer/installation you're stationed on than to jump away from it to some undefined location.

Is there any way I can get the Shivan Knossos to actually look Shivan?  At present its still got Ancient Maps on it, I think its because the maps included in the Derelict VP are PCX.

Anyone?

I have a retextured POF that uses SD Demon textures if you want THAT....

Hi I was playing this campaign and couldn't deploy the nav buoys. Yes, I'm within 75m of it, yes I did not already deploy one there (It's the first one) and no, my keyboard is not stuck. I normally use the 1  key to set the throttle to zero, and no, this is not the number pad 1, it's the regular 1, just above the "Q" on a QWERTY keyboard. If it also helps, I'm using an HP laptop with a dual AMD 64 CPU, 4G RAM, and plenty of HD space.

[General Battuta]

Okay, so, the game is looking for you to press the key that performs the function that '1' NORMALLY performs. You need to find that key.

1 is normally some kind of chat function, yeah? What key do you have that function bound to now?

[Commander Zane]

Anyone else get this issue with the game not being able to find 30 paths for the Auriga on the mission where you disable it?

[General Battuta]

Oh, brother. That might be something that's been tightened up in recent builds? I don't know.

[Commander Zane]

Apparently not if I'm having the problem on the FINAL 3.6.10 build.

From this day on, I will be in love with you. It works! IT ACTUALLY WORKS!!

I don't know what to think.  Everywhere I read that this is best campaign by far, but my experience is completely different. As I made lot of things for Unreal tournaments series by myself I can only tell that I never seen such bugged project. Even when I did something for myself I try to make it playable. Lot of missions are not o.k. specially events, objectives and waypoints. You didn't destroyed this small Loki - forget that you will get some clue - you will normally finish mission and never receive departure message.  So you will depart anyway - you mess mission.  And never you will receive message why. No clues. I already played much worst campaigns then this one but rate them higher only just because playing this campaign is one big pain. As obviously lot of effort was put in this  maybe it was worth to go through and repair it. Playing 40  missions like this with half of them you must repeat minimum two times only because bugs (hard difficulty and no problem finishing them when knowing how) and never because own failure ... this is just not o.k.  Still big thanks for making this as in many ways it was perfect.

I'm kind of curious as to what specific bugs you're referring to, besides what you actually discussed in there, since I can't remember much of anything going wrong on the several occasions that I've played through the SCP re-release.  There's one notorious show-stopper that manifested itself on certain builds, but I think you'd have mentioned that specifically if you'd seen it.  There certainly shouldn't be much, if any, in the way of "this just isn't working" moments. 

As far as departing before being specifically ordered to do so...you're kind of answering your own question there.  If Command hasn't yet told you to leave the area, there's probably something that still needs doing, and it shouldn't be too hard to figure out what.  I don't remember specifically, but I'm fairly sure that most of the mission-critical goals in Derelict were listed as primary or secondary objectives, which you can view by hitting F4 in-mission, or at least as directives listed on the left-hand side of your HUD.  However, it's a good rule of thumb for campaigns in general to, when in doubt, just kill any enemies that are left before departing.

[Commander Zane]

Only bug I've ran into so far was the one where the game crashed because of a path error on the mission you disable the Auriga.

Apparently the patch for the Derelict campaign that fixes the governor's shuttle colliding into the docking ring is gone...  If I look at the post where it should be, it tells me the attachment has been deleted by evil tolwyn.  If I click on the link in Jeff Vader's post, it just gives me a weird "you're a homo" 404 error.

BTW, is this the correct alignment for the docking ring and the Luxor? I can't remember since it's been quite a while since I first played through the Derelict campaign.

[Mongoose]

No, not at all.  The ring is supposed to go around the Typhon, as if it were in drydock.

[Talon 1024]

I thought so.  Does anyone still have that patch that I mentioned above?

[da1edwin]

Actually... I believe it's still there. When you click the link and get the "you're a homo" page, go to your browser's address bar and remove the filename. That'll take you to the underlying directory, from which you should click on the subdirectory called "stuf" and you'll find DerelictPatch.zip there.

Or you can use the FSO Installer, which installs it automatically.

Crashing on one of the bonus missions for SOC(can't tell it's name right now cause game instantly crashes w/o displaying the briefing) referring to the multiple "unable to load startfield bitmap <something> startfield.cpp" errors. SCP build 3.6.10. Attached DxDiag to this post if required
