Finally got it to post into the file.  I had to completely delete the file for some reason.

I am attaching the log file.  Also note this particular crash occurred while configuring the ship weapon loadout.

No clue where that belongs to.

These commandline options are unnecessary and possibly harmful. Disable them.

I'll give it a try.

This is pulled directly from the readme file:
"The easiest is to simply extract the DerelictSCP.VP and other VP files straight into your main FS2 folder. When you next run FS_Open, Derelict should be available in the campaigns menu."

The patch.vp and the transcend.vp file I have no clue because it does not exist in my FS2 directory.  Actually I completely uninstalled transcend weeks ago.  I do notice that when I select no mod in the Launcher is defaults to transcend which does not exist.  

Edit....ok fixed it the transcend issue.  I reinstalled the launcher.

The game is still crashing at the same point however...posting the updated log file.

Edit....ok fixed it the transcend issue.

Apparently you didn't (or you didn't post the updated log) because the log still indicates that Transcend.vp is in your C:\Games\FreeSpace2\ folder.

[Ranger1]

I deleted the old log I upped the latest log file.  The transcend.vp is NOWHERE on my hd.  I tried the derelict files in there own folder with no joy.  Still crashing on weapon loadout.

Reuploading another that just happened.  Could it be the lastest nightly build that I got to fix the insane bombers?

Hmm. Problem here is that your crash is not easily reproducable (Crashes without error messages do that, unfortunately). The same goes for the second log you posted; While there is an error message, that particular one is highly dependant on the conditions in your PC at the time. And for the record, I can play through those missions just fine....

[Ranger1]

Well I think I got it.  I did a complete reinstall of FS2 and the SCP and it still crashed.  To get around the crashing issue during the weapon loadout screen I had to go way back to an old 3.6.9 build.

Hi people hopefully someone knows an answer a fix or any other solution for my problem.

This campaign so far is one of the best I've played due to the fact of voice acting.

So far I had no problems with playing the campaign all missions work well except 1 thing. I'm stuck I  believe in mission 5 in which you must protect the gouverneur and the foot supply ships from pirates.

The missions is running fine but on the end after repelling all attacks the  gouverneurs ship is allways flying against the station instead of flying into their hangars. I tried it 3 times now allways with the same result. The ship flys vs the wall and eventually destroys itself due to the crash runs.

Is there anything I can do about that? I haven't read all 35 pages that's too much to do so.
I have Derelict SCP + SCP patch & nebular pack installed.

[Jeff Vader]

I haven't read all 35 pages that's too much to do so.

If you'd read even one of the pages, you'd probably find the solution. This question is asked that frequently. You're missing a patch that is needed with the MediaVPs. Hold on, I'll find the link.

Edit: Actually, this link was last posted on page 33. Nonetheless.

[23-down]

Thx ... Well I allready have the SCP patch for derelict. Is this another one or is it the same?

[Jeff Vader]

Another one.

[23-down]

Thank you very much... I tested it again and it does work now.. I completed the mission. I had no idea of this 2nd patch it was no where mentioned on the main dl sites on the different pages. Someone should add a little hint to that if you ask me. Now that I know of that patch I see it on the first page. I thought it was the SCP patch so I didn't payed it well enough attention.

thx again

EDIT: I played it through... It was fantastic and just amazing. The missions were varied and not all of them were like in so many fan campaigns escord the convoy... All in all was the story well wridden and it had a lot of atmosphere due to the voice acting. The only thing I missed was a happy end meaning a last mission which completes the story the end was a bit sudden. Indeed one of the best campaigns ever made. My favourites were the first 3 missions and the one in which you find the derelict in subspace.

greetings 23-down

I'm having the Rites of Passage problem that other people have been having (I think).  I get to the end of the mission, but it doesn't give me any message saying i've finished all the objectives and can warp out, and when i do, it says i've failed the mission.  I've just used the provided installers, so FSO 3.6.10, mediavps, etc. but nothing else.

So...

...have you tried the solution that other people were given?

Sorry, i guess i should have clarified.  The main solution is to reinstall the game, cause if it's not working for recent versions, then I installed mediavps incorrectly, but I've been using the installers, so i don't understand why that would happen.  there's a workaround posted, but I'm not familiar with fredding, and it seems that the problem shouldn't occur if i had installed it correctly anyway.  I posted more because I'm curious as to whether other people are experiencing the same problem with the installers, and whether the workaround is the only solution.

The installers I used where the most recent and fully patched version of 3.6.10 btw.

Great campaign, especially with VA (Mackie is sardonic like House M.D )
I have one question. What's with Auriga destroyer? I think 'trade company thread' has not been ended. We destroy the Lucifer and Auriga escapes. I want continuation;)

[Mobius]

Sadly, we don't know what happened to the MTD Auriga. I wouldn't call it a true plot hole, but... it's one of the very few cons of Derelict.

I was thinking wheter or not this thread should be moved to the FSCRP forum: we don't owe the upgrade to the FSCRP, but it still remains a superb example of upgraded campaign. A few months ago, I used to play it and compile a "To Change" list... I hope to get back to work very soon. Derelict deserves an additional SCP boost...

[Snail]

I hope resolving the Auriga's fate is not on this ominous-sounding "To Change" list.

[Mobius]

Changes are not intended to touch the plot. Every single word will remain the same.
