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

karajorma i mean the mod.ini file

[Jeff Vader]

The mod.inis allow you to use multiple mods at the same time. Turey's Installer provides you with these files. They're located in folders such as fsport and derelict. If you've downloaded everything and want to see pretty and shiny graphics, open the Launcher (you got it working, right?), open the MOD tab, click select MOD, select the mediavps folder and hit OK. And save the settings.

fsopen says every time i want to play any of the mods this and i don't know waht to do



Error:Could not load Warmap02_1anim file

Use Ok to break into Debugger, Cancel exits.

[karajorma]

In the launcher select the debug version of the game rather than the one you've been using up till now.

When the game crashes out go into your data folder and open the FS2_Open.log file you'll find in there. Post the first 40 lines and the last 10.

[jr2]

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

@karajorma and everyone else who doesn't know the secret:

You must select the file type "all file types" instead of "text files", and then when you type in filename.ini your .ini will be the extension instead of .txt

Your problem is that you've set a bunch of launcher options you shouldn't have set. The direct cause of your problem is that you've turned on the options for the Babylon 5 Mod. Why you'd do this when you're not playing the Babylon 5 mod is a bit more of a mystery.

I can see at least 5 flags you shouldn't be setting. -wcs,  -nohtl, -no movies, -noparseerrors, -oldfire  and that's without looking too carefully.

You should only be setting launcher flags if you know what they do.

[Element]

iss it normal that i can't play fs1 because i've installed fsopen because when i want to run fs1 then my computer aborts and says tht he couldn't load the medals file

[karajorma]

FS1 or FS1 Port?

FS1 should be completely unaffected by your FS2 or FS2_Open install.

Unless of course you install them both in the same folder. Games don't tend to like it when you do that.

[Element]

ok but there's one problem when i don't install fs open in my freespace diretory then my computer says that the launcher is non permissible win 32 adaptation

kara, wcs is "Wing Commader Saga"... so he's trying to run Babylon 5, Wing Commander Saga, and FSOpen at the same time.

@Element: take a look at the walkthrough in my signature.

[karajorma]

I know but the crash he observed was from the -tbp command line. Notice that it's caused by a missing warp animation? That should have tipped me off even before he posted his debug log as there is only one reason why the game asks for a second set of warp anis.

[Element]

jr2 i have make used your walkthrough to set my settings but when i start now then he says he couldn't load fireball.cpp

[jr2]

OK, Element... what exactly did you get from Turey's Installer?  Everything?

If you can't deselect it, it means you've already got it.
