Title: Freespace 2 ending problem
Post by: donkey_roxor on March 21, 2006, 09:27:29 pm

Hi everyone,

So I'm on the last mission (I assume) in the FS2 campaign, and I have a couple of problems.  First, when the Shivan cruisers jump in, if I damage either one of them even slightly, if it eventually dies, my screen goes black.  The HUD is still there, and i can still hear sounds from my guns, but there is nothing else on the screen - no environment.  Any ideas?  Second, I thought I "finished" the mission by doing what you're supposed to do with plenty of time left, but the cutscene never triggers and I get dumped back to the menu.  Anyone else have these problems?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Are you using FS_open, or the standard? In FS_open, you have to do some extra bit of work to make the cutscenes work. I think that you can find the instructions in karajorma's FAQ. Did you see the other cutscenes during the campaign?

There's an error with the cutscenes you may have (assuming you have the .avi versions). They should be called endprt2a.avi and endprt2b.avi Notice the lack of an a in the word part.

I'm a little confused as to what could be causing the problem with the cruisers though.

Yeah, after I went to bed last night, I remembered that I hadn't actually seen any of the cutscenes.  Since I am using FS_open, I probably didn't configure it right.  That wouldn't explain the blackout though, would it?  Anyway, thanks for the help.  This is such a great game - it's been a while since I've had to obsessively finish a computer game like this.
