Title: Help FS2 adding FS (Port) and FS_Open Plz...
Post by: crdreamcat on February 11, 2006, 03:27:06 pm: Sorry I'm a dummy on computers . I have the original 20th anniversary CD's (Retail) for FS 2. I have upgraded to ver 1.20. I then added the "Open" files this a.m. I am trying to find and install the original Freespace with the extra campaigns. Does anybody know where and exactly how to install this. I would like to end up with the original Freespace campaigns followed by FS 2 Retail then FS_Open all in the same total game folder so when I hit exe that is how the game progresses. I want to use the better graphics in FS_Open for all. Is it possible to do???

Thanks for any help

Post by: crdreamcat on February 11, 2006, 05:12:49 pm: OK, I used the guide to install everything. Then I created a mod folder for FS1 with all the .vp and other files, RARed them into a seperate folder I could link to the launcher, the port will not work. The game reverts to regular version. I am trying to start out in FS 1, then the extra campaign (if I can find it to download), then FS2 and the SCP versionwhile using the enhanced graphics the SCP has. I am at a loss how to get FSport to work.
Any help would be thankful

Post by: karajorma on February 11, 2006, 05:37:53 pm: It should be appearing as a seperate campaign (I looked in the VP and there is definately more than one campaign file in there).

I have fsport2_3.vp do you have something different?

Post by: crdreamcat on February 11, 2006, 05:41:38 pm: That is what I have but no "Silent Threat" listed. I have Awakening and the Freespace campaign listed and thats all...
