I dont use all those names for my mods...

I try to limit to 4-letter folders... I run adv-effects so far... on a GeForce FX5200.. 2ghz Celeron, 512mb DDR, 80gb hard drive... I somehow get 60fps when staring blank or going somewhere... when you add in 100+ ships I get 30fps.... when you add in three ships exploding, four bombs, and the AI for eleven wingmates, it gets to 10fps. Somehow it's faster then some 6800's...

launcher crashes w/ a stack overflow
Should be in Mantis already.  I haven't found the problem yet, but it's probably something stupid.  :sigh:

 
Re: Happy New Year from the SCP (3.6.9 Official Release)
Nice to hear that the FS2 movies have been converted to OGG format.  Has the same been done to FS1 movies?
Yes they have, get them from my sig.

 
Re: Happy New Year from the SCP (3.6.9 Official Release)
So...Hunter...am I to put that VP in the main directory, its own folder, or the Mediavps folder? [/moddingnoob]

Aside from that minor question...

...you are now my hero. I wanted those FS1 cutscenes for so long. ;_;!

 
Re: Happy New Year from the SCP (3.6.9 Official Release)
Hey, I posted them 8 hours ago, what am I, chopped liver?

and I have also compiled them into a VP,
Cool, I didn't know you could do that.

 
Re: Happy New Year from the SCP (3.6.9 Official Release)
Personally i would recommend putting it in the main directory

Re: Happy New Year from the SCP (3.6.9 Official Release)
You put the FS1 and FS2 cutscenes in the same VP? One or the other is not going to work that way. Both have to be called intro.ogg in order to work unless Taylor has added something in the Theora code to make another filename work.

Is there a stack trace available to look at?  If so I might be able to help.  If not.. add some logging!

No stack trace, and it works fine for most people.  It does have logging, but only in the debug version, which is something that doesn't get released.  The code is in CVS though, so feel free to grab and checkout and run down the problem. :)

The main issue is that a new Launcher is being written from scratch, so any real time spent on the current one is basically wasted.

Has any work begun on that yet? Cause I have some ideas. :)

Most of the work has to be done on the backend first, the game itself.  New modder stuff, better cross-platform support, switching Windows to ini files instead of the registry, new profile.ini support, etc.  All of that is required before the new Launcher really gets off of the design board, and I put all of that on hold in order to work on 3.6.9.  I'll get back to it soon enough though, after I get done with a few things for 3.6.10. ;)

If they are in a VP then the VP should go in the main game directory for FS2 movies and in the FSPort mod directory for FS1 movies.  If not in a VP then they need to go under data/movies for each instead.

hello,

the link to mono2.ogg seems "empty" (instant download => 0 byte)

Taylor asked me to also mirror the OGG format movies, and I have also compiled them into a VP, you can download them either way, seporately or in the vp below.

Cutscene VP for FS 1&2
oggcutscenes.vp

Descent: FreeSpace Cutscenes
ancients1.ogg
ancients2.ogg
ancients3.ogg
ancients4.ogg
ancients5.ogg
commandbrief.ogg
endgame.ogg
fs1_intro.ogg
hallfight.ogg
lab.ogg

FreeSpace 2 Cutscenes
bastion.ogg
colossus.ogg
endpart1.ogg
endprt2a.ogg
endprt2b.ogg
intro.ogg
mono1.ogg
mono2.ogg
mono3.ogg
mono4.ogg

 
Re: Happy New Year from the SCP (3.6.9 Official Release)
I'll echo Kajorama's issue with regards to the FS1 and FS2 cutscenes in the same VP.  Previously, the way I had FS2 Open set up was to have the FS2 movies in the main FS2 folder, and the FS1 movies in the FS1 mod folder.  That way, when I want to play the FS1 mod, the FS1 movies would start to play.

It should be two VPs, one in the main folder, and the other in the FS1 mod folder.

Hmm, it was actually just supposed to warn you if that was the case.  Either I messed up on reporting of that condition, or I messed up with the LoadLibrary() stuff and that is what causes the crash.

the descent freespace intro is labeled FS1_Intro.ogg, taylor named it that.

Oops, let me fix that.

EDIT : ok it's done uploading, you shouldn't have that problem anymore

I'll echo Kajorama's issue with regards to the FS1 and FS2 cutscenes in the same VP.  Previously, the way I had FS2 Open set up was to have the FS2 movies in the main FS2 folder, and the FS1 movies in the FS1 mod folder.  That way, when I want to play the FS1 mod, the FS1 movies would start to play.

It should be two VPs, one in the main folder, and the other in the FS1 mod folder.

If the VP is in the root directory it should play the FS1 cutscenes. I haven't had a problem with it. BUT, I will do as requested and split it up. Give me about 5 hours for the upload process and it should be done.
