Title: Gigas-Sath
Post by: SKYNET-011 on March 08, 2003, 09:40:13 am
Hey Woo...

I downloaded the sath looking gigas, put it in the .tbl, and I get an error in Fred.

Can't open file:

:wtf: .po? Where's the f?

The Sath-looking Gigas. With the four 'arms' in the front.

My point is that the f IS already there, but FRED doesn't think so. :wtf:

I did have a simular problem with it not loading the gigas.pof, but after a few failed attemps to place it in game I re-downloaded the gigas.zip and tried it again and it worked fine:)

There is a FS2open 3.5 but they haven`t released Fred 3.5 yet, must be in the works..
On a side note, I have tried FS2open 3.5 on the babylon 5 release1 and it ran fine till the third mission when it dropped to the desktop on me for an unknown reason.. Boy were those special effects good though:D

You might want to try and fix that, as most of our pofs have longer names than the Gigas one so you might not be able to run the campaign, or at least not make your own missions with the mods...
