Also, this build?
fs2_open_3_6_10r-20081210_r4989.exe ?

It's not 3.6.10 Final. It's not Inferno. Unless you're using .10 Inferno final or later, do not expect any help.

So, grab the 3.6.12 RC2 Inferno build from the SCP board, and run that. While you're at it, please post a debug log generated with the .12 RC2 executable. I'm betting there are even more installation snafus on your system.

(This error most likely means that you are missing required 640x480 interface art.)

You are playing with a resolution lower than 1024x768. As a wild guess.

Then that's the default; I've never messed with the resolution.  Ah well, I'll load up without the mod and change the res.  Thanks.

Probably.  My joystick broke some time ago and I haven't played since; I only just managed to get the warranty straightened out so I could get it fixed and start playing again.  Doesn't surprise me that there've been build changes since then.  

Edit:  With the 3.6.12 build, I get this instead:

Debug log, please. You can find it in your freespace2/data/ directory after running a debug build. It's called 'fs2open log' or somesuch.

Also, you can set the resolution in the launcher; there's no need to set it in-game. What mod you have selected shouldn't matter.

Also! How did you manage to get through the installation instructions without catching all the exhortations to use an Inferno build? Are our instructions that bad?   Could it be made clearer?

Also, you can set the resolution in the launcher; there's no need to set it in-game. What mod you have selected shouldn't matter.

Slightly wrong. There is NO WAY to set the resolution in-game, the Launcher HAS to be used (The 5.5e Launcher mentioned in the .12 RC2 release thread, specifically).

Also! How did you manage to get through the installation instructions without catching all the exhortations to use an Inferno build? Are our instructions that bad?  Could it be made clearer?

No, our instructions are fine. It's just that people think that they can ignore them.

[General Battuta]

Be nice!

I also have a bone to pick with the SCP build in general (it spews errors at me when I start the 5.5e launcher; I upgraded from 5.5d at the same time I got the 3.6.12 Inferno build), but I'll do that over in the SCP forum. 

[General Battuta]

It shouldn't be spewing errors - trust me, I've tested that build with that launcher. There's got to be something going wrong.

As for the log (nice work, by the way), your MediaVPs are a mess. You're mixing the 3.6.7 MVPs with the 3.6.10 ones. Please delete all the VPs in your MediaVPs folder that aren't capitalized, including all the mp-710 ones. You should be left with MV_Advanced, MV_Assets, MV_Core, and MV_Effects. You can keep mv_music as well. Everything else needs to go - it's crashing your game.

Let me know if that fixes it.

[Fury]

The 3.6.10 mediavps Renegade Paladin has, are all outdated as well. None of the checksums match and he doesn't have the 3.6.10 patch either.

What I would suggest to do is to deleted the mediavps folder entirely and follow mediavps installation instructions.

Edit: Renegade Paladin's "Windows - No Disk" error has been split and moved to http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=69279.0

[Renegade Paladin]

I now have the new VPs and the patch.  It still crashed, but then I changed the resolution and it started working.  It's worth noting, I think, that this only ever happened with the latest Blue Planet release. 

Now I just need to wait for my X52 stick/throttle to get fixed or replaced, because playing on an old Cyborg Evo stick with a broken trigger is no fun.

You need to run with a minimum resolution of 1024x768 for now, I'm afraid.

Resolution bug was fixed exactly three weeks ago. But we haven't released the fix yet.

Dude, are you running a debug build?

[The E]

And if you are, can we see the fs2_open.log it generated?

[DOCTOR DOOM!!!]

^,^^ Never mind! I fixed it i think...  Didn't delete the old blueplanet vp... and now I feel like a retard! 

[Dilmah G]

Don't, we all make mistakes.

And I may have made a similar mistake to yours at one stage.

Hi,
I´d use the 3.6.12r.exe and Launcher 5.5c inclusive all MVP´s 3.6.10 and the 3.6.12 featurepatch.
If i´m not using "Disable parsing errors" in troubleshootmenu then i´ve the same errors. 
If i use it then the mod starts normal,but the last mission is missing 1 shipclass(UTF-ship)    and can play the campaign.

G'day mate,

Are you using an Inferno build? If not, try these.

What. One: You need to use the 3.6.12 Inferno builds.
Two: You need to use the 5.5e Launcher.
