Title: Messed Up FS2,SCP, and Turey's Open Installer
Post by: MarsNeedsWomen on May 17, 2007, 09:02:14 pm

I was having a problem with the Homesick Campaign and read a thread which said how the fix the problem by opening the program with Wordpad. I mistakenly opened the .vp files with notepad and this corrupted all the vp. files rendering the game unplayable. Yet now it seems to now have has an effect on Turey's installer as now I can't even reinstall the game. I need help!

Delete everything and manually install FSO and stuff. It's not that hard.



Oh, I like your name. (mars :p)

Well I'm trying Turey Installer again and it seems to be working, but it will be a while until all the files are installed and I can try the game out again.


BTW, thanks for the compliment and note it comes from a movie. Its not a stab a member of this forum known as Mars :p

You could have just re-downloaded the .vp.

I'm still wondering how you corrupted it. Unless you hit "Save" in notepad, it shouldn't have changed anything...
