Title: A bit of help
Post by: redfaction12 on September 29, 2002, 05:39:51 am
I only just found this website, and thought wow!
Ive never been able to get hold of freespace in the shops so ive only been able to play fs2.
So as you can guess its great being able to play freespace on fs2 the a guy like me whos never played fs before.
Ive downloaded the 1.5 file with game data and everything and the anims file for all weaoons anmi etc.
I go to play the campiagn in fs2, select it and it comes up, i go to play the level and i have no weapons, i restart go to the weapon section screen, no weapons to choose.
Can some one tell me how to sort this?
Thanks.

Sometimes when you have no weapons, just click the restore default weapons button. This sometimes does the trick.

try redownloading all the files... (make sure you get ALL of them), and make sure at the same time that you don't have another MOD installed.

Delete you data directory, save your pilot though, if he's got any good stats.

Hi there.

OK, let's see. You have:

And you still get no weapons? Very, very strange! Take a screenshot of your Weapons Loadout screen for us.

(In case you don't know, hit the PrintScreen button, then exit Freespace and go into Paint, go to edit-paste, and save it. Send it to [email protected].)

Just open each mission in a text editor, replace all of the PV with GV and Prometheus with Prometheus S. Then save as .fs2. GE had a thread on this a littlw while back.

send me the mission, i'll convert it (following the rules in that thread) and if it doesn't work, then i'll see what's missing from the tutorial and edit it.  send me via email.


EDIT:  I don't think you're following the thread GalacticEmperor made.  look at my previous post.  follow the instructions in THAT thread... it's much more in-depth.  if it still doens't work, let me know by posting here

Yep I'm trying to covert the rest of the FS Demo and the Campgian file I can't seem to get em to work. I have the voice files and was wondring if the mission titled Demo02b has it's own mission sound files because if so I can't find em in the demo V.P.

someone should make this a sticky so it's like a help/bug fixing tips form. Hint Hint
