Blaise, good work, i love it so far.....

blitz, im so proud of you, seems youve grown up since the crash, or maybe the n00bs have gotten dumber

OK, this is more of an FSO problem, but I'd like to see how many people encountered this.  During the redux of STL, BR used new features to completely remove the HUD for cutscene missions.  However, I noticed that when beginning the mission just after the terran rebels cutscene, the hud was missing.  I aborted the mission and restarted, and the same thing occured.  I was beginning to think that BR had accidentally added in the HUD removal command, but when I aborted the mission and quit Freespace, then restarted the game and tried it again, the HUD was back.  It would seem that the HUD removal command is being passed over onto the next mission.  Now, I didn't notice it after the first cutscene mission, but I was experiencing some other difficulties with my system at the time and aborted right after the reading the briefing, so I don't if it would've occured then or not.  I was using the updated build of the FSO 365 release build.  I haven't tried this with any previous build.  So, basically this campaign should work with any build since Goober's 11-06 build?

same here, happens after every cutscene....

[Blaise Russel]

D'oh.

I had thought that the hide-hud sexp would not be carried over to the next mission... evidently, I thought wrong.

But not a problem! Fixed.



By the by, did anyone have a problem with training messages being displayed twice? Like, one darker training-message-plaque superimposed on a lighter one that's slightly higher up?

I don't think it's a big problem, per se, but still...

[wolfdog]

Ah, thanks *downloads*

and yes, I have that problem....

Lightspeeds Set 3 and Set 6 nebulae (green and blue)

Lightspeed's new Weapon Effects

 

since i couldn't find them on millways, can i assume that the nebs/effects are in the latest mediavp's?

[wolfdog]

No, they are not...   since I have the latest MediaVP's....  but all missions have a really ugly giant white spot  as background:p

Oh dear.

Well, I've taken the liberty of mirroring the necessary nebula background zips on my webspace, so: Set 3 and Set 6.

he already did:p

Gah!  This is a bug.  Sorry.  I'll try to have it fixed today.

[Blaise Russel]

Don't worry about it - it's awesome that it's in there in the first place.

The sexp, I mean, not the bug.

[Knight Templar]

Crap dude, I still haven't played the first one.

I noticed that during the first cutscene, but I was having other difficultes with my PC, so I didn't get all concerned... about this particular problem that is.  My PC difficulties were realy getting on my nerves.

Later!

Yeah, that's another HUD problem that might be related to the disappearing problem.  Taylor's looking into it.

It may just be that I forgot to install something but in the very first mission I get this error message when loading up.

Error: Unrecognized operator.

You need a newer version of FSO - one that includes Goober's new SEXPs, to be precise.

Perfect excuse to get 3.6.5!

[Fergus]

(After several colourful expressions, worthy of Ozzy Osbourne)
I have checked and checked, all the files are present and correct, got latest version of Open, the cut-scene works (oh, already very good) but for some reason some models are missing as in the first mission 'proper' all I see is Ullysses.  Sorry to turn you all into glorified IT assistance, but I really am no good at any of this.

[Blaise Russel]

Do you have any table files in the data folder?

Or any other mod's VP files? Stuff other than the FSO stuff, the STL files and the FSPort VP?

[Admiral Nelson]

I noticed that the ships.tbl included here flags the Leviathan model as "cruiser01b.pof". It should be "cruiser01x.pof" to work with the Media VPs. The Leviathan was invisible until I made this change.

[Blaise Russel]

The FSPort VP contains a cruiser01b.pof, so it shouldn't matter either way.
