Title: Sol:A History campaign - HELP PLEASE!
Post by: ShadowGorrath on May 20, 2007, 07:10:14 am
Problems again ... Getting bored of me ?

Anyway , I haven't finished Sol: a history campaign . And , it doesn't actually work on SCP . I've done everything I could/knew how to . But still failed to get it to work .

So can anyone , please , give all the required files and tell me how to make Sol campaign work ( on SCP ) ? It is my favourite , and I haven't even finished it yet .

You need the version with the fixed table files.  I have it somewhere, if no one finds it before I do.

In theory, yes.

Warzone isn't done yet though.  We need playtesters!

I would wait until the release of INFA before revamping Sol:A History. I don't know if it will break the compatability or something, but...there will be many advantages.

I think S:AH will be our next objective. But we want a BadgeTM.

I have one very small campaign for FCRP to do next, as all its in mission dialog is already voiced.  I have already sent the briefings to an appropriate voice actor to complete.  If it is thought desirable to work on this campaign after that, that would be fine.  I somehow had the impression a fellow called 'shadow' or suchlike had already done so?  Is it practical to work on this one in advance of Inferno SCP?

P.S.

Let me say something.

Many warships like the Darkness and the old Lindos have been scrapped, so waiting for INF SCP isn't that good. INFA should be enough, there are revamped EA textures and cool models of most EA ships used in S:AH.

The real problem will be the weapons, that are changed a bit. We can always use the INFASA FSPort compatible mode, tough :)

Don't forget, Blaise (S:AH's creator) is still very much around...

Yeah, Shadow0000 made a SAH patch that allegedly works very well.

*shrug*

Sounds good to me.  I seem to recall you've also got a WIP of Titan rebellion (which needs to have its last few missions written).  That certainly would be possible too (I don't mind writing a few missions to finish off a campaign).

And if I can put one in from my own favorites list, Homesick could really use some upgrading and fixing.  It's just got technical issues too - the campaign itself is solid on the writing front, so it wouldn't be nearly the project that Warzone has been.

Yes Titan Rebellion is in good shape save for its last few missions.  I have downloaded S:AH to give it a try; I have never played that campaign.

It got a little of-topic ...

Where can I get that patch Shadow0000 for SAH ?

So the fixed tables is the patch ?

Ok then . How do I install everything ? What needs to be done , so that I can play SAH normally , without crashes on SCP ? Please tell everything detailed , for I am a noob at this . :)
Title: Re: Sol:A History campaign - HELP PLEASE!

Download the fixed tables and put them in your <your SAH mod folder>/data/tables folder (if it doesn't exist, just create it). Everything should work fine now.

BTW, you're not a noob, you are a newbie. Noobs are experienced users who refuse to learn how to do something/experienced users that behave (or rather misbehave) like newbies etc. :)

Ok , thanks . :)
I can put in the main ( full ) Inferno file rather than the core file in the same place , and don't need the SCP patch , right ?

Basically, you should have this: an Inferno folder in your root FS2 folder (with INFR1 Core + SCP Patch), and a SAH folder with the SAH files + fixed tables.

Make sure you have a mod.ini file in the SAH folder which has this line:
Code: [Select]
[multimod]
secondrylist = <your INFR1 folder>,<your Media VPs folder>;
If you don't have one, I attach mine here. Change the "secondrylist" line according to the names of your INFR1 and Media VPs folder.

Ok , I'm gonna try it now . BTW , are the mediavps here optional or required ? Cause I have a problem with them ( /HLP forum people think: oh no , not again ! ) - they crash the game sometimes . Like when I selected the HercMk2 fighter in the techroom or when I finished Their Finest Hour mission with the mediavps ( not advanced ones ) .
Title: Re: Sol:A History campaign - HELP PLEASE!
Post by: Mobius on May 22, 2007, 10:50:10 am
The patch makes Inferno R1 SCP compatible and the mediavps are only an option. Follow the instructions DySkO gave you. ;)

I'm not a coder, I don't know what kind of problem you currently have. I know, however, that most "bugs" are caused by wrong option settings...

HLP forum people think: oh no , not again !

Nah, inform us whenever you have a problem :)

Hehe :D

Well , it worked . Almost anyway . I disabled the glowmaps , shinemaps and enviromentalmaps ( whatever they're called ) , and it worked . Though I had to reset all the weapon and fighter equipment before I started the mission , cause on a bombing mission I had light fighters ( EAF Claymores ) ! And on the last credit mission ( not important though ) it crashed . But eitherway - it worked this time .

P.S. Just noticed how awesome the Orion looks with the mediavps . It's even better than before ( useless info: the GTD Orion is my fave ship ) .

Yeah, it's fantastic with the mediavps. Many times better than the old one :D
