Oops. Fixed.
-
It is working now. I just downloaded the file.
-
Aaaaah damn! Damn! I don't have FSPort! Aw hell. . . Gotta redownload that thing. . . Did anyone ever think of putting FSPort into a single file. . .
Well, crap. Ok, I hope to get everything downloaded today. . .
-
3.6.10! Agh atleast wait utill the official release! *grubmlegrumblenowIhavetowaitgrumble*
-
Well, it should work without the latest media_vps - it just advise it to be sure. And your build should be up-to-date anyway. :p
-
doesn't FSPort come with Turey's installer?
-

SF-Junky, I highly recommend you try running your build under a debug version of the SCP. I'm getting dozens of warnings and assertions when I start it up. There are also several missing textures on some of the ships.
-
Same, I can't even get the campaign to start up, crashes FS everytime. Says it can't load explo.anim
Shouldn't What If be in the Port folder as well? Otherwise it won't know where to get the main hall and such.

Warnings and assertions like that beamgun thing I postet a while ago? http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,55809.msg1127932.html#msg1127932
I realized some time ago that I can't run that mod in debug mode, but since nobody couldn't answer the question back then and it always worked just perfectly in normal mode, I decided to no longer care about this. And since my beta tester got it running without probs as well I considered that a workable solution. ;)
-
No, I get different warnings. Stuff like "cannot find Hornet#Weak in the weapon loadout" which means that you deleted it from weapons.tbl but forgot to delete it from the ship loadout. Stuff like missing LODs on the weapons. Stuff like... missing textures. :sigh:
If you have questions, I suggest you post in the Support forum. It's much better to get rid of all the warnings and assertions before you release the campaign. ;)
-
What specific features of 3.6.10 are required, anyway?
-
Great campaign so far, I'm enjoying ever second of it, but now I have a problem after the mission "The Ambush" when you
are asked to join the GTI.
When I click continue, I get this:

And then the game crashes. This is the first bug that I have run into in this campaign.

just a question SF-Junky what build are you using, maybe some problems can be solved by using the same build.

All of the AGWloop1 and AGWLoop2 missions are missing from your VP files. I'm using the latest build of FSOpen 3.6.10 and the 3.6.10 Beta MediaVPs and have not had any of the other parsing errors. I did have to change the Mod ini file to correspond to my fsport file some of the errors people are getting sound like they might have the wrong file name for the secondary mods. The others are because of the missing mission files

So that's why I got errors at AGWloop1. I also had to change the mod ini file before I started playing because my FS Port folder was named differently then what was used in the secondary mod line.

I did get rid of all warnings I got, but since neither me or my beta tester got problems with any missing textures or so, I considered the mod to be stable. But I can't fix probs I don't know about. I hope you can agree on that. ;) Checking the mod.ini might indeed be a good idea. :-)
Oh, and I am using this build: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,55095.0.html

Oh, sh***. :nervous: Fixed, re-download the missions.vp plz.

OK new problem:
In the first GTI mission, you are to capture a dragon but the disruptor is not in the weapons list. I have tried several times to disable it with the standard weapons but I always end up destroying it.

OK new problem:

In that mission you don't use the D-Advanced but a table-modded version of the standard disruptor. Me idiot forgot to add it to the -shp.tbm.
This patch (http://sebastian.ramrod-network.de/Freespace/WhatIf/1stpatch.7z) should solve the problem. Just unpack it to the WhatIf/data/tables folder, then you should be able to use the Disruptor#Shield.
-
The patch is a no go. The disruptor still did not get added to the weapon load out screen.
-
Looks like that's because it was never added to the campaign file. It needs to be on the allowed weapons list, either via the campaign or via the allow-weapon sexp.
-
I've just tried running this campaign, but there's no model for the GTF Angel ship entry.
I've pulled the INFA model for now, but is this a known glitch or do I have a bad assets vp?
-

Okay, another attempt (http://sebastian.ramrod-network.de/Freespace/WhatIf/2ndpatch.7z). Download and unpack into data/missions. Then you can use the d-adv (If you can't, re-dl the missions.vp).
Looks like that's because it was never added to the campaign file. It needs to be on the allowed weapons list, either via the campaign or via the allow-weapon sexp.
Curiously, it doesn't show up in the weapons list in the campaign editor (yes it uses the "player allowed" flag). I added a sexp to AGW02-7 which is included in the patch.
Both patches are now also included in the .vps. How downloaded them after this post, won't need the patches.

WhatIf uses the FSPort's Angel.pof. If it doesn't work, it is not my fault. Check your mod.ini. ;-)

In the first mission, when I changed my ship to an Apollo, it was SHIELDED! And am I supposed to have the Avenger when I got the Athena for the cargo depot raid mission?
Last thing- is it meant to be able to kill the reds kinda... easily?
-
In the first mission, when I changed my ship to an Apollo, it was SHIELDED!
Don't ask me why. I switched shields off in the shield system editor and it still says "no shield" for team friendly and the Apollo fighter. I just checked it.
And am I supposed to have the Avenger when I got the Athena for the cargo depot raid mission?
Yes, as it's said in mission briefing. Technical development in the StormFront universe is not exactly identical to the original story.
Last thing- is it meant to be able to kill the reds kinda... easily?
Switch to higher skill level.
-
Well, that answers my questions. Except for the 'Apollo from the Future', that has shields. . .
-
So I got the latest patch and it worked like a charm. I just finished the campaign and must say, that was great. :yes: What I liked the most was how you are in mission and you sort of know whats about to happen but then all of a sudden, the mission goes off the FS1 storyline. It kept me guessing as to what was going to happen next.

I has an error. Seems the model is missing. I do have FSPort 3.0.4, by the way. And I already am using a 3.6.10 build.

Err ... I think some of the errors might be caused by the fact that the mod.ini calls for fsport_3_0_4, though many people just have it as fsport. Modifying the mod.ini should fix a lot of the problems.

Change the Mod.ini file to read the same as your fsport file. The file can be opened with NotePad or WordPad but make sure you save it as mod.ini
The current line in the mod.ini file reads secondrylist = FSport_3.0.4,mediavps;
I had to change mine to read secondrylist = fsport,mediavps;
This is because my FSPort 3.0.4 folder is labeled fsport
Change yours to read whatever your file folder is named.

Thanks for the nice campaign. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate the effort that went into it.
I had no problems with it (other than the initial missing missions and the disruptor).
I used the 3.6.10 C08302008 and C09032008 builds along with the 3.6.10 MediaVPs and changed the mod.ini to fsport for my folder.

FSPort 3.0.4 as recommended by SF-Junky in the original post

Ill try installing the new fsport and we'll see how does it goes
-
well Im on the third mission and it's working just fine for me so far.
Only donwloading FSport 304 and fixing the mod should prove just fine for everyone else, ah! and getting 3.6.10 also :D
I gotta congrat you Junky, surely not easy to release a campaign without errors, but for some people it's easier to just flame others work I guess, people come on!, dont get too ancious, you know finally you'll be playing this some other time and like it or not, freespace fans (and modders specially) do not seem to be the majority this days in the gaming world so we should just keep helping each others :D

Small bug in the level in which you must captured the traitor's cruiser and an Argos.
The Cruiser could jump out, I disabled the Argos, and the debriefing gave me the lines for both "congratulation to have captured both objectives" and "you're an idiot to only have captured a stupid Argos.
-
What's an Argos? Guess you mean an Elysium. ;)
*added to ToDo-List*
-
Argo is a transport from FS2 though
Um... If you were using the advanced mediavps effects for the MRed, then obviously I can't see them because I don't have the Adv Effects.
-
K. This one (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,56192.0.html)?

/me threatens laptop with sledgehammer*
-
Um... If you were using the advanced mediavps effects for the MRed, then obviously I can't see them because I don't have the Adv Effects.
Then it should use the standard effect from the weapons.tbl
-
Did you specify the MRed effects in a tbm or something? Cause if you specified only them, then obviously they won't work. I've had the same problem with another mod when I tested, and the only fixes were either to make them use normal beam effects ( non-adv ), or include the adv beam effects so that people can play normally without the need of the adv effects.
-
I altered the weapons.tbl, beams-, adveffects- and effects-wep.tbm by copying the particular SRed entries. So, If the advanced effects items can't be found, it should use the standard FS2 effects specified in the weapons.tbl.

Another bug : I got Invisible SSG Trident in the Taranis capture mission. Might be the same kind of bug as for missing asteroids, except that I have the asteroids there.
I am happy not to have them, since I can't succeed in this mission so far (on Insane, though).
You might want to do a spell check starting from mission 3, there are quite a lot of mistakes (for instance at the very beginning of the escort the shields mission).
Extremely pleasant to play so far. I am happy to see that the "scan the shivan cargo without shield or good weapons to defend yourself" is nice to play, and not frustrating as in the Vanilla FS.
-
Oh, also, too bad you keep the "waves" system for ennemies. I think it is the worst design choice of all the design choice I disliked in FS 1. It s not as common, though.
-
I too am suffering from missing textures.
I am missing the textures for the SSG Trident.
Also, am currently missing Textures for the Orion and that new Vasudan Destroyer.
The models are coming up only partially textured. While i like this campaign, i refuse to play further until this is sorted out
-
I have updated the CapMaps.vp. It now uncludes all textures of all models not included in Retail or FSPort_3_0_4. If there are still textures not working, it is not my fault!! Maybe you have to change some of your settings in the launcher, then.

FRED say that it can't open "fighter02.pof" when I try to place Anubis mk.2.

When you put files in the data folder, it takes priority over any other locations that have certain files. So if it is in the data folder, it will be read in that location first, I think. Must be a problem with the way SF-Junky packages the files in vps, making it so the pofs in the vp aren't being read at all. It seems that this problem only occurs with his campaigns, so it must be the way he is packaging them.
I can't immagine what to do wrong about that. Put the files into a folder, enter the folder's name into VPMake.exe, hit execute, enter name of the vp, hit execute a second time, and finish.

That's odd, indeed, since the Anuibs Mk II does use the same .pof as the Anubis. It is just a table mod.
I am really sorry for all those bugs. :( Next time I'll be smarter and ask a for a few playtesters before releasing the thing.
To all those who didn't have problems and enjoyed What If: Thank's for you positive feedback. Glad that at least a few people could enjoy the campaign.

Actually, if I'm not totally mistaken here:
- active mod folders override \freespace2\
- \modname\data overrides vps in \modname\
- \freespace2\data overrides vps in \freespace2\.
So, if a mod is released in a vp, the vp is placed to a mod folder and the mod folder is selected with the Launcher (or with command lines), it will be read properly.

(Very) small glitch at the level just after the capture of the Taranis (which is Insane in Insane difficulty :p) When the first wingShivans jump in to destroy the human vessel (I didn't have the time to check whether it was a Cruiser or a Transport), you've got some (impossible) instruction to destroy them, but instead of "Destroy Wing" you just have the name of the wing.
Apart from this - perfect. Completed this escort level in Insane in two tries, but finished with 1%. (Took me 20 + tries for the Taranis, though).

Hello SF-Junky,
Now i found a little Bug in your very fine Campain: After the destruction of the Galatea comes a Render Video - after them a screen shows a planet (eg. Vasuda prime ?) then screen chance in 16:9 Mode and back to 4:3 - no Text appears. I think this will be say: Act III - but nothing to read.
I use the 20080911 Build + 3.6.10 Mediavps
Windows XP
Athlon 64 3200+
ATI Radeon x800Pro
1 Gig Ram
I hope this Information was helpfully.

Hey there SF,
thank you for the mod! It was pretty good :)
I found one flaw though: At the last mission, you need to destroy reactor 5 all by yourself - as the Ursas just randomly wander in space after finishing their orders.
-
Understandable you need 3.6.10, i tried 3.6.9 and it broke into errors as soon as i went to the tech room to view the Angel, but is there any way to get around that? I checked out the thread on 3.6.10 and it looks like its still full of bugs and in the working stages so im hesitant to get it :shaking:

If all else fails, the Recommended build for Windows users in my signature works just fine.

I spotted a new glitch.
There is no debriefing in the "capture a dragon" mission if you exit after having capture the transport and destroyed the Cain, but before engaging the enemy convoy.
Basically, I was in a very sorry state when I finished the Cain, and thought the mission was over. As soon as I so there was more people coming, I evac'ed. Mission success, but no briefing.
In Insane, your wingmen get shot down in the first minut, whatever you do. Additional renforcement, two crafts, to deal with the Shivan renforcement would be nice

Open the mod.ini file in \freespace2\whatif\ and change the word "FSPort_3_0_4" to "fsport" or whichever your FSPort folder's name is.
Psst. Author. Most people have their FSPort stuff in a folder named fsport. Mostly because the Installer has all the FSPort stuff in a folder called fsport. FSPort_3_0_4 is a really unusual and problem-causing folder name.

Did that too :\

Run a debug build and then post your fs2_open.log from \freespace2\data\.

Generated different errors doing that, but I'll post what I got (kept it going until it hit a critical error).

In addition, you have a file called Tango.vp in your fsport folder. This is somewhat suspicious, since at least I have a file called tango_fs1.vp.

If the two instructions above do not solve your problem, try acquiring these files (and place them to \freespace2\fs1\).

I'm not even sure what it is, I have a notepad thing saying I should probably move it lying in that folder, time to listen I guess. I take long breaks from FS2 so sometimes I leave odd things lying around in my folders. I'll go try moving things around then edit my post.
I think all of those are there because they're just mission addons, but just incase we'll see what happens if i move them.
EDIT: I can't seem to find a place to download the first two fsport files, but I don't recall ever having a problem without them in other things :\ Doing everything else still generates the same errors.
-
Ah, oops. Just figured out something: you probably need the WhatIf assets and missions as well, in addition to the root file.
-
Ah i see, i thought they were VP's but looking now those are 7zip files :\ We'll see how that works.
I'll check more later, but it at least loads now ^_^

I may have to get the post shine and glow .vps as i'd no idea they existed :lol:

Run a debug build and then post your fs2_open.log from \freespace2\data\.
-
-mod WhatIf,FSPort_3_0_4,mediavpsHere we see that the game engine is attempting to check the following folders for game data: WhatIf, FSPort_3_0_4 and mediavps. As it is instructed to do by the mod.ini in your \WhatIf\ folder. Open the mod.ini and change "FSPort_3_0_4" to correspond with the name of your FSPort folder (most likely change it to "fsport", without the quotations).

Probably like this. As I tried to explain, it depends a lot on what your FSPort folder's name is. SF-Junky has assumed that most people have their FSPort stuff in a folder called "FSport_3_0_4" and that's why the second mod folder on the secondrylist (which could also be secondarylist) is "FSPort_3_0_4". I have my FSPort stuff in a folder called "fsport" so I'd change the secondarylist so that the second mod folder would be "fsport". Now, you will need to open your \freespace2\ folder and check what the name of your FSPort folder is. Then, it would be advisable to change the secondarylist on the mod.ini so that the folder name after "WhatIf," corresponds with your FSPort folder's name.
This mod is not any more difficult to install than any other. Of course it might seem that way to people who have far too limited knowledge on which order the FSO engine reads data and what mod.inis actually do.
-
Indeed. The mod.ini code I posted should solve everything. Except for one blooper I did: naturally the mod.ini in the \whatif\ folder does not need to refer to the \whatif\ folder, since that folder is already read by the game engine, if it has been selected from the MOD tab. So, the correct form shoud be
[launcher]

primrylist = ;
secondrylist = fsport,mediavps;, assuming your FSPort folder is called FSPort. Please give me a minute, while I also check your other log.
Edit: Hmm.
-mod WhatIf,fsport_3_0_4,mediavpsThis time the game engine is reading a subfolder called "fsport_3_0_4" but is convinced that there are no files in a folder with that name. Could you provide a screenshot of your \freespace2\ folder, just for kicks?

Screen of your FSPort folder?

That's what I was getting at. WhatIf or not, you should definitely have sparky_hi_fs1.vp.

So just a question did anyone fix this campaign. I've been waiting for it to have as little or no bug's whatsoever to download it . Otherwise i wont even bother .
So is it any less buggy ???
-
It is VERY little buggy right now, provided you downloaded all the needed textures/ships (including SSG Trident)
-
so basicly i have to do a manual download of everithing this campaign needs.
Well i was waiting for this campaign but i must say im disapointed on how its (re)put togheter.
Well you cant get it right the first time . So il just ask for a list of what i need to download in order to be able to play this campaign ! :D Anyone care to help ?

-
got the campaign to play and so far so good ! i actualy read through some posts since i had the whole missing textures issue ! FS still crashes on me once in a while dont know why since im pretty sure its not campaign related since this has happened in other ampaigns as well. Also the crashed are pretty random and far between !
Anyway where does the campaign exactly go into a different direction !
Hell i haven't played FS1 so to speak in such a long time i cant even remember which is cannon mission and which are not !
-
Oh, there are cbanims. Maybe you didn't download the necessary vp from the fsport site: http://fsport.hard-light.net/website/ -> Main downloads -> Command Briefing Animations. The original cutscenes are also included in the campaign file. You need to put the .mve into your fsport folder. :)
-
First post ever
Thanks for such a great Campaign. It`s a lot better game play and atmosphere than the original Great War. Only thing I missed : NO SHINY BADGES :(
( But got a way around. "Just" added some more Events to the missions.)
About "atmosphere": ever thought of a voice acted Version ? ( Perhaps even german version ? )
-
WAY better than the original FS campaign, though considerably more difficult.

That's why I feel to deserve these medals. :D
-

Nope. The voice acting team as enough work to do without my campaign, I think. ;-)
As for medals... I once thought about them, but then thought that nobody would care about this. Let's see, maybe in the next version.
-
Have the major bugs been worked out of this campaign?
-
At the moment i'm in ACT II and i don't find major bugs so far. It seems that it is more playable than a few months ago *gg*
-

I shall give it a go then. Is it only partially voice acted or not voice acted at all?
Aurora paradox
-
But the good thing is in the previous mission if you choose an Apollo and give your wingmen Apollos too, you and they have shields in the subspace mission with the Lucifer. Not sure if it is a bug or just to help you out though. It helps to ensure that Delta wing can deliver their payload, but even then it is still difficult.
I believe that is an SCP bug but I could be wrong. Also is this the mod voice acted or just part of it?
-
So, i finished it.
I think it's a good campaign, yes. I wasn't bored :D
First the things i liked:
+ Different characters as wingmates
+ References to FreeSpace2 like Suicide Kings, Hammerheads etc.
+ FRED as player name :D
+ The "Carl" Easteregg in different shivan depots
+ The Subplot about the SD Tantalus
+ The Altair Subplot
+ "Clash of the Titans" with beamzzzzzz :)
+ The Integration of the SCv Moloch and SB Seraphim
+ Challenging "Great Hunt" and "Endgame" Missions. It was the first time in my FS career, that the Lucifer was able to reach Sol... i was too slow in my first try.
Now the things i don't like:
- i don't like the beginning of the campaign, it was a bit strange with this fight against vasudan pirates and not a war against the PVN.
- FRED was too quiet for me.. like in the most other campaigns i miss a bigger role for the Player character in dialogues.
- There where no recommendations for the most missions :rolleyes:
- Where are the medals? :D
- Important wingmates were invincible. I think ship-guardian would be better for this use, because they still can be disabled etc.
- There are a few german text lines in this campaign (ok... there are only 3-4 in the whole campaign and i can read german, but.. it's a english speaking campaign isn't it? And there are no german wingmates *g*)
- It's not possible to disable the SD Tantalus in "Clash of the Titans".. the engine is always at 30%... but why?
- I miss some HOL interference in escort missions with vasudan forces. Sometimes in FS1 vasudan reinforcement fighters were Hammer of Light.
But in General... It was fun! Will be there a "FreeSpace2 Reimagined", too? :D
-
Cool. Thanks for the detailed review. :pimp: :yes:
- i don't like the beginning of the campaign, it was a bit strange with this fight against vasudan pirates and not a war against the PVN.
That's because I tried to be as close to the Reference Bible as possible. There it is said that the Vasudans already made a proposal for a cease fire and Terran Command is already interested.
[Missions in between these scenes mostly involve fighting groups of Vasudans that are opposed to the treaty. Later, they become an organized and formidable enemy, but they’re mostly rag-tag for now. There are an increasing number of Shivan encounters as well.]
- FRED was too quiet for me.. like in the most other campaigns i miss a bigger role for the Player character in dialogues.
That's also because I wanted the player character as close to the original game. ;-)
- There where no recommendations for the most missions :rolleyes:
- Where are the medals? :D
Noted. Will be fixed in the next upgrade.
- Important wingmates were invincible. I think ship-guardian would be better for this use, because they still can be disabled etc.
Yeah, that's a story. The ship-guardian is used in Derelict and there wingmen sometimes die before the sexp can jump in, e.g. when the fly into a anti-cap beam. I wanted to aboid this.
- There are a few german text lines in this campaign (ok... there are only 3-4 in the whole campaign and i can read german, but.. it's a english speaking campaign isn't it? And there are no german wingmates *g*)
Keitmayr is german. ;)
- It's not possible to disable the SD Tantalus in "Clash of the Titans".. the engine is always at 30%... but why?
Uhm... good question. :D Maybe a wanted to avoid that she gets disabled before she has turned to port and faces the Bastion.
- I miss some HOL interference in escort missions with vasudan forces. Sometimes in FS1 vasudan reinforcement fighters were Hammer of Light.
That was only once in the mission where you escort the shield prototypes. There I gave it a miss because the mission was already hard enough without it I think.
But in General... It was fun! Will be there a "FreeSpace2 Reimagined", too? :D
Not directly. I made a few minor changes here and there for the main campaign to be playable with StormFront12. But I don't know yet if I actually release it.
-
- FRED was too quiet for me.. like in the most other campaigns i miss a bigger role for the Player character in dialogues.
To be honest messages coming from Alpha 1(or, more in general, the player) are awful unless you're playing JAD.
-
There are messages from the player in Blue Planet, Ghost Revenants, Tides of Darkness, etc. And I don't think they're awful.
Oh, by the way, is it just me having a messed up mod.ini, or is this campaign/mod using the non-HTL GTF Angel?
-
Nope, What If should use the Angel model used in fsport.
Recommended mod.ini line:
secondrylist = fsportmediavps,fsport,mediavps;
-
Recommended mod.ini line:
Code:

Don't know if this has troubled anybody so far, but their is a spelling error: secondAry list
It always worked for me, only if I changed the entry to the correct spelling:
primAry list: blahblah
secondAry list: blahblah
-
Its supposed to have a spelling error.
It doesn't work for me unless its 'secondry' for some strange reason.
I've heard its fixed so it accepts both, but donno. Didn't seem to work when I used 'secondary' for the mod line for ST:R, but it did when I put 'secondry'.
-
their is a spelling error
Yes, yes it is.
Also, both 'secondary' and 'secondry' work.
-
That was a very fun campaign, nice and long too, good job. My only comments would be the grammar and spelling. On the last debriefing it says "Thak you for playing" :D. And I had the same issue with shields being there on some ships when you change your ship from what you start off with, which made things unfair in the beginning. Oh, and the last mission was pretty hard I thought, a little excessively hard...although I coulda tried using some other ship or something possibly. And what did you mean you tried to stick closer to the bible? Thanks for a great campaign again.
-

Yeaahhh, I'll hire some playtesters for my next campaign. ;)

I remotely remember reading something that this was a SCP error, but I'll look into it.

What exactly did you consider hard in the last mission? Did you lose your bombers? Too many hostiles?
As for the bible: You can download it here http://www.volition-inc.com/fs/downloads/fsrefbible.zip You should see what I mean. :)
-
Where do I have to insert the missions, assets, and capmaps?
I inserted the capmaps in the maps folder, the assets simply in the data folder of the mod, and the missions into the missions folder.
EDIT: It's OK now, but I can't give myself any weaponry in the very first mission... help me, please!
-
Where do I have to insert the missions, assets, and capmaps?
Are they all .vp files? If yes, they go directly to your \freespace2\whatif\ folder.
-

Yup. I put all of them there, and the only difference was that it ALLOWED me to launch without weaponry. No possible weapon choose tho.
And there is a file called WhatIf_root.vp - if I insert it there, then an error message comes and doesn't launch anything.
-
IMPORTANT: Before you start the game, check the mod.ini in your WhatIf folder and look if the name of your FSPort folder is spelled out correctly!

FSPort is OK, but what should I do with this (mod.ini's text):

[multimod]
primrylist = WhatIf;
secondrylist = FSPort_3_0_4,mediavps;
It's really quite simple. First, replace "secondrylist" with "secondarylist" since it is the "better" one of the two. Next, look at the part that says "FSPort_3_0_4". Then look at the name of your FSPort folder. Do they match? If yes -> success. If not, edit one of them so that they are both the same.
Actually, the easiest option is to rename your FSPort folder to "fsport" and replace the "FSPort_3_0_4" part in the mod.ini with "fsport". Without the quotation marks, of course.
Edit: Hmm. I don't have the foggiest idea of what's up with that "primrylist" line. Because a) that one is actually misspelled so that it won't work no matter what and b) this mod most certainly doesn't have any use for the "primarylist" function. You can safely remove the entire "primrylist = WhatIf;" part.
-
I changed the text, no difference:

secondarylist = fsport,mediavps;
there is a folder named fsport, and one named fsport_mediavps; still even with a comma, it has the same problem: can't find some vasudan_navbuoy.pof or sg.
-
If you are hearing a weird sound right now, do not be alarmed. I'm just crying here...
Now. First I will assume that
- you have your FSPort MediaVP in \fsport_mediavps\
- you have the rest of the stuff in \fsport\
- you have the regular 3.6.10 MediaVPs in \mediavps\ .
Edit the mod.ini so that the secondarylist line says "secondarylist = fsport_mediavps,fsport,mediavps;" .
If this fails, forget about the FSPort MediaVP and just edit the secondarylist to "secondarylist = fsport,mediavps;" .

I'm not going to make you mad, I've just done what you've said, without asking "why do I have to write it down twice?"
It works, except one little problem (not so serious to make playing impossible tho): The Apollos are only having lights at the back (yup, they are calld engines, I forgot), and a pilot. I dunno that whether this is a tribute to Lt. Ash or what, but anyway... :)
-
Did you enable specular and glowmaps and make sure that "What If"'s mod.ini is pointed at the proper folders for the FSport and 3.6.10 MediaVPs?

You should switch to a debug build and play with it until you get to the Main Hall. After that you must quit the game, find a file called fs2_open.log from your \freespace2\data\ folder and post it here.
-
The updated version of What If - Another Great War has just been uploaded. Please check the first post. What If now also uses the StormFrontStock. Important: Make sure you have the latest Stock files (http://sebastian.ramrod-network.de/Freespace/JunkProductions/StormFrontStock.html). There has been an update!
With some 200 bugs fixed, I really hope that it works rather clean now. :)

Hello SF-Junky,
I have a problem with your new Version of Whatif.
The Campaign not appears in the Campaign Room.
I have the updated Stormfrontstock Core.vp!

The mod is properly installed in the Whatif folder.
Need help.

-
As do I, have the SFS2.1 in the StormFrontStock folder, WhatIf files and campaign pack, mod.ini changed so listed folders match the folder names on my FS2 folder, and it doesn't show up.
-
Oops, there's an error in the .vp file. Please re-download the mission file and overwrite the old AGW_missions.vp.
-
Wow thanks a lot for the quick Fix :) :) :) :) :)
Greetings Peter
PS: Good new Year :yes:

Danke, now I shall try it out.

secondrylist = StormFrontStock,fsport,fsport-mediavps,mediavps;
1. It could be "secondarylist", since "secondrylist" is a half-arsed fix that is needed in Launcher 5.4 and older versions.
2. Shouldn't the order be "StormFrontStock,fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps"?
-

Is that so? well you look at that, I always thought i was necesary to have secondrylist instead of secondarylist, never knew why...good to know.
-
order should be "StormFrontStock,fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps". fsport-mediavps should precede fsport.
-
So to dig this one up, I'm getting the following error when I try to play this:

I know this is getting old, but I just got around to playing it.
Honestly, I really liked it. My main concern is the writing. A lot of the sentence constructions are weird for English. I'm not sure what the native language of the writer is, but you definitely love using subjunctive mood. ;)
And then why do we get the Avenger for the first few missions, and not again until later?

The writer's native language is german and the issue with WhatIf is that a english native speaker never got his/her hands to it. ;)
And then why do we get the Avenger for the first few missions, and not again until later?
In the Storm Front timeline, the Avenger was developed a few years before 2335, but compared to ballistic weapons still used at that time it was too expensive for mass production until the Shivans show up with their shield tech. That is why you may use it in mission 2 and not in missions 2, 3 or 4. It's a special weapon.
The idea behind it is that I considered it very stupid that the GTA developes half a dozen new weapons and ships within a matter of one or two months.

Fitting considering I had an exam covering mostly German subjunctive - especially where it's used in German where not in English - verbs the same week I played through this. I suspected a German. :P

Sorry to bring back a 2 year old thread, but I have a problem in the capture Arjuna mission where after I disable Arjuna 1, Charon jumps in and instead docking with Arjuna 1 and jumping out, it flys around doing nothing about 2 clicks away, Essentially acting as a support ship!!! I say this because if you call for rearm after you disable Arjuna 1, Instead of support warping in, Charon docks with you and rearms you! Needless to say I am stuck in the Campaign at this point unless I exit loop I guess and I don't wanna do that!
-
This is a known bug. What you could try is manually editing the mission to disable support.
-
Sorry for the large bump, but I was just linked to this thread by Macfie.
What's the plot of this campaign?
-
It's actually an FS1 remake. Kinda neat, with more ships/weapons to choose from and capships with actual firepower, but not the campaign you were looking for. Its version of Good Luck sucks though; you may want to just cheat your way past it.
-
Excuse me but the link is broken and I would really like to try this. Is there another way to download it?

Now I noticed website exists but dl links are dead :nervous:

SF-Junky is still around. You could try PMing him, he might be interested in restoring his links.

I found in other topic:
I've seen this thread just now, so sorry for not having answered. The versions of Storm Front which are currently available in public are all very old and outdated. I've been working on a major Upgrade (and episode III) for a couple of years now which has made some great progress lately. I hope to get it released until next year. Until then the least disappointing and annoying thing to do might to consider Storm Front a (partially) defunct and extremely outdated campaign.
So the best thing is to wait for re-release (I know it's for StormFront but What if depends on it) :)
edit:
Here is What If:

Check Knossos for a new release of What If. DLing right now
-
FYI, I am currently working on a full rework of all my campaigns, What If - Another Great War among them. I hope to be finished until the end of the year. So if you have a little patience you can play a recent, polished version.
LoL, totally forgot there's even a website of mine. :lol:
-
What If is in general very good and requires little polishing... Although second GTI loop is a bit boring in comparision to rest of campaign...
-
What If is in general very good and requires little polishing...
I agree generally. But after some 10 years it's time again imho. Plus I've made some general changes to the entire StormFront mod package which require giving AGW an overhaul.
-
Well one thing i wasn't very fond in What If was that Shivans kinda were known threat from a start, and there already was a cease fire with Vasudans...

That actually came from the FS reference bible: https://wiki.hard-light.net/index.php/FreeSpace_Reference_Bible
What If sticks a little closer to this guideline here and there compared to what :v: finally did in FS1.

Nice! I like What If's take of the Shivans and it's bigger scale. Looking forward to playing the reworked version. :)

I'm finding the Avenging Angels mission to be glitched in the current Knossos version (2.2.6-Nova).
I successfully disable the transport and the Fenris, and my wingmen destroy all the enemy fighters, but then either the Leviathan just circles impotently forever, or the Fenris somehow jumps out with dead engines and the mission is rated a success. In the latter case, the debrief screen nonsensically contains both success and failure text.
