Title: Sound issue..I think
Post by: Krisnz on June 19, 2007, 11:30:50 pm: Hello,
First post. I have just downloaded and installed the FS2 open via the online installer.
I want to thank all of you who have kept this game going and have done a wonderful job of making it work on newer hardware.

I have installed FS2 and it works well with one small problem....the voice used to give breifings and during campaign communications is that of the Narrator from Micrsoft (Mike/Sam/Bill..whatever).

If anyone might be able to provide a link to or instructions for resolving this niggly problem I would much appreciate it!!! The deadpan narrration kind of kills the drama of the game!!

Thanks in advance for any replies

I will do as soon as I get back home in front of the laptop again.
BTW if you are the Turey from the Java installer, great job!!! :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes: :yes:
It was very easy to use and work with Xp Sp 2 no problems on a Toshiba Laptop Celeron M with an ATI Raedeon Xpress 200m card.
I noticed the in the log section of the installer after complete download, all the FS1 port stuff did not download, error reported the mirror was down.. no biggie but I thought to let you know.
Thanks for the reply

Post by: Wobble73 on June 21, 2007, 04:57:41 am: Yes, you are missing the tango1, 2 & 3 vps from your root directory, these are the voice files required for FS2 and also missing the warble vp which I believe is the music vp. There is another missing but I can't for the life of me remember what it is at the moment?

You are also missing files from FSPort, but this is a known issue as the wcsaga server is down at the moment.

It's disturbing how often this is happening, yet I can't seem to track the problem down...

If anyone used the .jar version and had this problem, would you mind posting FreeSpace2\Installer\installer_error.log.txt ? I'd like to take a look at it.

Post by: karajorma on June 21, 2007, 04:10:34 pm: Yeah. I've noticed something of a trend here.

Post by: Krisnz on June 21, 2007, 05:31:16 pm: Wow, thanks for the fast responses!
How would I locate those files myself? Should I rerun the online installer or is ther a location where I can pick and choose what files to download?

Thanks for the help

EDIT:

Just had a bit of a nosy around the forum, woul downloading the mn_zpack for herehttp://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,39905.0.html (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,39905.0.html)

Post by: Turey on June 21, 2007, 07:34:09 pm: To fix this problem:
1. Run the Installer. It'll say it's out-of-date. Get the new version from the page it sends you to.
2. Open up FreeSpace2\Installer\installedversions.txt and delete the following lines, then save it.
Code: [Select]
NAME FreeSpace2 Retail Core VERSION Version 3 NAME FreeSpace2 Voice VERSION Version 1 NAME FreeSpace2 Music VERSION Version 1 NAME FreeSpace2 Tech Animations VERSION Version 1 NAME FreeSpace2 Command Briefing Animations VERSION Version 13. Run the updated Installer.
