Umm. Care to rephrase that first?


You attempt to load a mission, and you get an error that pops up, then fred crashes?

Then, I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are asking. I don't want to be the grammar nazi here, but your sentence structure (and general lack of detail) is making it a bit difficult to diagnose your problem.


Also; the next post, the one by Brugger, is just as poorly formatted. :sigh:

First of all, seriously..periods are good dude..

Second, are you sure you have it set to "single missions" at the bottom, and not "campaign missions"?

In the tech room at the bottom left of the screen are you hitting the single missions button, also are you using retail fred2 or some scp version

@ Brugger: if it was 100 ships it would be classified as BoE-ish and it wouldn't work anyways. :p

@ Night Wolf: Personally, i recommend deleting the mission and starting over from scratch. Or, a reinstall of FS2 would do the trick. :)

Powering up photon beam cannons. Commence plasma core insertion. Fire!

:welcome: Night Wolf, and may God have mercy on your soul. :p (just kidding)

new freders don't always know that theres a limit to how many ships the game can handle, and it sounds like he just needs to hit the single missions tab in the tech room.

Post by: brugger on July 31, 2005, 10:41:49 pm
is the mission file in the missions folder, or are you using any mods that could be breaking the mission

what tab do you have selected? Campaign missions or Singleplayer missions?
Title: Can you help me?
Post by: Night Wolf on July 31, 2005, 10:51:04 pm
Singleplayer Mission.

Post by: brugger on July 31, 2005, 10:52:12 pm
did you check the missions folder to find out if the .fs2 file is in there
Title: Can you help me?
Post by: Cobra on July 31, 2005, 10:53:17 pm
@ Brugger: I highly doubt that's the problem. All the FS2 singleplayer missions are in the vp.

@ Night Wolf: hmm... well, that strikes out my theory...

i recommend doing a full reinstall of FS2. that solves most of the bugs in the game. :)

Title: Can you help me?
Post by: Cobra on July 31, 2005, 11:03:45 pm
AHA. there's your problem. you have to set it to where the folder shows Freespace2\data\missions.

Post by: brugger on July 31, 2005, 11:06:19 pm
@Night Wolf - ok, not sure if I undstand that. the .fs2 is located in my documents? if it is, move it to the freespace2 directory in the data folder there is a folder named missions. It should look somthing like this c/games/freespace2/data/missions. Thats where it needs to be

damn i got beat twice this thread

Did they ever fix that thing where it saved into My Documents by default? Quite retarded, imo.

And for the love of the Gods, Night Wolf, learn some grammar! :p
