We need to make an image macro of that!  Make a GIF of the Derelict VP (or some other campaign VP) being dragged into the main FreeSpace2 folder, followed by the Lex Luthor "WRONG!" face.

that_idea + 2-hour_train_drive - something_to_do = picture

Sorry I didn't include Lex Luthor. I bet there are a lot of people who don't know him anyway Including me.

[The E]

Ohhhh, that is good.

[Dilmah G]

Oh come on, how could you NOT include him. He obviously needs a purpose

[lostcause]

Alright around all the merriment I am back.  Here is the first thing that happens when i do that: I get to the FSO loading scene, then freespace crashes and I get the following error.  If I press OK freespace dies and i need to run it again.  I just ran the debug exe that the installer created when i installed 3.6.10.

If you did that, when you will find a file called fs2open.log in your \data\ folder. It would help us if you could post it here.

It's not about knowing Lex Luthor. It's about the picture itself.

[Commander Zane]

Nope, still don't have a clue.

[The E]

Then watch this and be enlightened.

[Commander Zane]

So that's where the Wrong Finger Gun on Garry's Mod came from...

Then watch this and be enlightened.

EDIT: I think I have a possible candidate.

Is there any way I can get the Shivan Knossos to actually look Shivan?  At present its still got Ancient Maps on it, I think its because the maps included in the Derelict VP are PCX.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

[off-topic] Had too much time on my hands again, so... (dunno about the Knossos BTW)

[Dilmah G]

Now THAT's awesome

[Skywalker]

BEAUTIFUL.
Thanks, very much to all creators!!!!
Very interesting.

alright I got Derelict up and running, but I'm not getting shiny SCP textures and lighting like I am with PI.  This is just because Derelict is an older mod and nothing I can do, correct?

[zeroSaber]

I realize this is a bit of a bump, possibly a necropost, but I wanted to post in the relevant thread, rather than be flamed for starting something new for no reason.

First off, first post ever. Secondly, I've played a number of FS2 campaigns so far, and Derelict has got to be, by far, the best. The writing, scripting, voice work, and just general polish of the mod is on such a professional level that in my opinion rivals that of [V]'s original work, possibly better.

My big question, however, is this: I get to the mission immediately after Shepherding 101, and when it tries to load the mission, it gets done loading and at the final little loading bar, it crashes me to desktop with an atiglox1.dll error. I've tried googling this and I don't get much. Any insight or idea as to what might this be? Hasn't happened with any other campaign or mission at all.

Also, yes I am playing on 3.6.10 with the correct media VPs and everything seems to be installed properly. I used Turey's installer, and went back to double check everything myself.

[Mongoose]

Except for one or two exceptions, Derelict uses only retail FS2 ships, so you should be seeing the same graphical upgrades that you saw in PI.  Is there a mod.ini in your Derelict mod folder, and if so, is "mediavps" included in the secondary list?

[Machaka]

derelict mod.ini says,

secondrylist = ,Media_VPs;

[sic]

I fixed the typo, still not getting SCP textures/lighting

I doubt anyone would "flame" you for starting a thread, but I agree that keeping Derelict-related discussion in the Derelict release thread is good.

I get to the mission immediately after Shepherding 101, and when it tries to load the mission, it gets done loading and at the final little loading bar, it crashes me to desktop with an atiglox1.dll error.

If it's "atioglxx.dll", that's the OpenGL-related .dll from your graphics drivers. If you have the latest drivers installed, try reinstalling them. If not, get the latest drivers, uninstall the ones you have now and then install the new ones. If the problem persists, go to the Troubleshooting FAQ (link in my signature), go to the "Graphical issues" section and follow the instructions of the third problem (the one with atioglxx.dll download links).

I am playing on 3.6.10 with the correct media VPs

I assume that by "correct MediaVPs" you mean the 3.6.10 MediaVPs but what build are you using? There are n + 1 3.6.10 builds, with 3.6.10 RC3 being the one that is recommended for normal users.

I used Turey's installer

derelict mod.ini says,

secondrylist = ,Media_VPs;

Use this as a mod.ini template:

Code: [Select]

[launcher]
image255x112 = ;
infotext     = ;
website      = ;
forum        = ;

[multimod]
secondarylist = mediavps;Make sure that you replace the "mediavps" part with the name of your MediaVPs folder. "mediavps" is actually a recommended name for the MediaVPs folder, because it is the most common name, and when people publish mods, they often ship them with ready-to-use mod.inis in which it is assumed that the player has the MediaVPs in a folder called "mediavps".
