[Jeff Vader]

One thing came to my mind. You should post what hardware and operating system your computer has. That might help the wise men here in solving your problem. Also, do make sure that your drivers are up-to-date.

Also, his name isn't gobber. It's Goober.

How did you install FSOpen?  (What Installer did you use?  Or did you install the files yourself?)

There are links to several different Installers in my siggy, including instructions for installing it yourself.

i have downloaded fsopen here because mobius postet this link in my first post which is called fs1 campaigns and is under missions and campaings: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,42854.0.html

[jr2]

Ok, good.  What version of Windows are you running?  XP?  Pro or Home?  What kind of user account (limited or administrator)?

And, look in my signature about getting IRC... perhaps you could post in there; there are about 9 ppl in there right now.  Just send your question and wait 10 or so minutes; once somebody answers, then you can chat.

i have win 2000 professional and i have administrator rights

1) Do you have the latest Service Packs?

2) Do you have the latest Graphics card drivers?

3) Do you have the latest Audio card drivers?

4) Do you have OpenAL installed?  (www.openal.org)

[Element]

1-3 yes but 4 no because  when i click on downloads and then click at openal installer for windows then i see anywhere a download link

Bottom of that page. Helpfully called Attachments rather than downloads.

thx karajorma



EDIT:allright openal is installed


EDIT NR.2: but nothing happens its still the same problems

[jr2]

1) Get md5summer.
2) Download the FS2 basic install md5
3) put the md5 file in your FS2 root (main) directory.
4) Open up md5summer (extract it to a location of your choice, and double-click it... eg, c:\tools\md5summer or similar).
5) Select FreeSpace2 as the root directory in md5summer, and hit "Verify Sums"; now select the md5 file that is in the freespace2 directory
6) Post any differences here (you can save the log file, and attach it by hitting "Additional Options"; if you don't see Additional Options, hit "Preview" first).

ok it works so far but now fsopen says that i need the latest version of the launcher.exe to start fsopen but when i click on the links which fsopen shows me i only see that that sites don't have the launcher anymore

[Wanderer]

Launcher55c.rar

[Element]

the only thing i need now is the ode for the ini file (the code is shown under fsopen installation walkthrough) and now comes my question can someone make that ini for me and send it to my email address becuase i don't have notepad but only wordpad and editor and with these two sofar i now you can't make an .ini file

[karajorma]

If you mean the launcher6.ini file that is automatically generated when you run the launcher.

[Wanderer]

If you happen to have no editors, then either get one (use the might of wikipedia - for example - and search for araneae, crimson edit, notepad++ or other such) or if you are unwilling to download and install one then you can always use the basic edit embedded into the command line tool.

[karajorma]

And you can make ini files with wordpad. You just need to remember that wordpad will save them as file.ini.txt by default instead of file.ini
