Title: mods and campaigns dont play
Post by: Triple Ace on November 30, 2004, 05:46:13 pm

I've tried all the newer builds and I get the same result. If I go to play with a mod or a user created campaign the game freezes when I click the hangar doors to start. It does not even get to the loading screen. Also, I did try the mod command in the launcher.

What build are you using?
Did you try creating a new pilot?

May be you should select the new campaign in the campaign-screen first?

and then make a new pilot, again, after reselecting the new campaign

Erk... Thats not exactly high end...

You're sure you installed it correctly to use the -mod?

Would you be able to post your entire command line?

Post by: Triple Ace on December 01, 2004, 10:03:45 pm

Sure I'll copy it now. C:\FreeSpace2\fs2_open_r.exe -spec -glow -pcx32 -jpgtga

pcx32... *shudders*

I meant the entire command line, including the -mod selection.

Get rid of pcx32 - AFAIK almost non of the optimized effects need it and it is a real drain on your RAM.

You think that might be the problem?

Title: mods and campaigns dont play
Post by: Triple Ace on December 02, 2004, 09:56:03 pm

Ok the pcx32 command was not the problem so here is my command line again, C:\FreeSpace2\fs2_open_r.exe -spec -glow -jpgtga  -mod (any mod).

I figured it out. It was the kpack vp that was causing the problem.

My concern about the -mod part of the command line was that spaces in the mod directory can cause issues with it.  I needed to know if this was the issue you were having.

Later!

As soon as I removed the kpack vp it worked fine.

Odd. I wonder why it would do that with mods but not the main campaign.
