Title: FS2 open
Post by: Saturn2004 on September 19, 2004, 02:11:57 pm

hey i  just tried FS open with the old rendering eng and i got this  error  cut and pasted below :

Error: Error parsing 'rank.tbl'
Error code = 5.

File:H:\_FS2_DEV\3 VPK\code\Stats\Scoring.cpp
Line: 226

Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
    FS2.exe 00402ca9()
    FS2.exe 00408f3c()
    FS2.exe 00409054()
    FS2.exe 005ea7d5()
    kernel32.dll 77e814c7()
------------------------------------------------------------------

now i think it is kinda funny that it says its running off of drive H:\ when i only  have  drive  C:\

what  causes this  problem and how  do i fix it?

README for the Old Engine Build

IMPORTANT: Only use retail vp files.
IMPORTANT: This build ONLY supports the player files like retail FS2 does! That means that it will not work with player files created with the 22082004 fsopen release (or later releases)!

The cause of this error must be a wrong table file. check if you have any scp table files (or media vp's) installed.

the  drive H:/ refers to the drive on my computer, which contains the FS2 source code :)

well it isn't since thats the error you get when its not in the right directory.

Could it by any chance be that the registry isn't set up for the vanilla exe's?  I.e. needs to have the default (non-SCP) launcher run once?  It's an old-engine build, but a lot of us don't necessarily still have our "original" install.

You'd be surprised at the number of people I've corrected who put the SCP in a seperate folder from FS2 so as to keep things tidy :D
