Turey's installer (http://www.fsoinstaller.com/files/installer/FreeSpaceOpenInstaller.zip) downloads FS2 and FS1 as a mod for FS2, with improved graphics etc, etc.
Simply run the installer selecting what you'd like downloaded (in order to play mods you have to select at least FreeSpace open 3.6.9 Executables and FreeSpace2 Retail Core. If you have high-speed internet and a decent computer I'd suggest downloading everything but the 3.6.8 Zeta Advanced MediaVPs with 710 patches. If you have an advanced PC you can download the Advanced MediaVPs. To run FSport (or any other mod) open the file in your FS2 directory called launcher, and set it up how you'd like. Go to the "MOD" tab and select the "fsport" folder and click "run" in the bottom-left corner.
There you are: FSport, ready to order.
EDIT: And what is FreeSpace: Battle of Deneb? Is it some version of FS1 in another language/country?
-
I think he's assuming the caption in the FS2 intro is the name of the game.
-
Not to sound offensive but it took you a period of time to realize that 2 comes after 1?
-
haha lol.....yea kind of.....anyway the turey's open installer is no use for me.....i tried downloading it for so many times, all cannot open....... now im very........ :confused: :confused: & :( :(
i think i can never download FS2 Shivans full version.....
-
i want the Freespace 1 The Great War : Battle of Deneb game not only the cutscenes....thx
-
Is there such a game?
As for Turey's installer: The problem you could be having is you might be using the Java installer, which requires a more up-to-date version of Java than you might have. Have you tried the .exe installer?
-
The intro to FS2 was just a cutscene. You don't take part in the Battle of Deneb at all, and there IS no game called FS1 Battle of Deneb. The caption that said "Freespace 1: Great War: Battle of Deneb" is just telling you that the battle your seeing is the Battle of Deneb that took place in FS1. And no you don't take part in it at all.
-
Oh....but there is a game called Conflict FreeSpace : The Great War right ? i tried the demo before..... from freespace2.com
-

Yes.
-
where can i get the link then?
-
Look here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?board=39.0)
Or more exactly: here (http://fsport.hard-light.net/website/). The Freespace Port is Freespace 1 (incl. AddOn) for Freespace 2.
-
Oh....but there is a game called Conflict FreeSpace : The Great War right ?
Yep. That's the name that Freespace 1 used in Europe. In America they used the name Descent : Freespace to try to gain some of the Descent series' popularity.
-
never got why you would subtitle the first game in a series
-
lol just because of my curiousity.......
-
what? that post wasn't directed to anyone. i simply meant FS1 was the first game in the series,yet it was subtitled. subtitles are usually used in sequals, making this an odd case since the sequal didn't have a subtitle. and i'm not going to continue less i get flammed to a crisp.

Technically you do. You don't participate in the all-out battle portrayed in the cutscene, but those four missions in Deneb before Vasuda Prime gets blasted would constitute a Battle of Deneb.

Yea, I meant the battle portrayed in the cutty.
They subtitled Freespace in America as Descent: Freespace, so they could jump on some of Descent's popularity.

okay okay......so are you all telling me to delete this post??
-
delete? Nah. no need to. we're just helping to clarify things regarding FS and its names and stuff.

It's included in my Installer, which sets it all up for you.
-
does that mean if i have your open installer installed with me then FS1 also works?
-
and do you mean that i must drag the FS1 files which i downloaded from http://fsport.hard-light.net/website/ together with the FS2 files / folders?
-
Gaaaaahhh!!
If you use Turey's Open Installer, from his website, www.fsoinstaller.com, you will need nothing, except OpenAL. If you have that, you are all set.
-
lol...okay okay cool down man.....
-
Mail Men are always extremely violent.
-
what do you mean by extreamely violent? you mean they have no patientce?? then i'll try to solve this problem myself and will inform you all once its solved by myself.........thx for trying to help me everyone...........thx so much...... :) :nod:

Hmm.... didn't mean that, but so many ppl seem to be having a hard time with this lately, it's not even funny. :( IDK how it is so hard... the Installer has been tested by alot of us, with no problems, and then I hear of ppl having problems & it sounds like they used some voodoo mix of installing FS1, ST, FS2, manually installing some MVPs/ mods, (who knows where to!), and finally running Turey's Installer?? Anyways, I will continue to try to figure out what the problems are for everyone, but this is the basic low down of how to install:
(Note you could just use the walkthrough in my siggy :rolleyes: )
1) Uninstall FS2. (Unless you have not modified FS2 in any way besides upgrading to 1.20)
2) Install FS2 if you have it (do a full install).
3) Copy the FS1 & FS2 .MVEs, if you have the FS1 and/or the FS2 discs, into their appropriate FS2 directories, see my walkthrough.
4) Install using Turey's Installer, using the same directory as FS2 was installed to!
5) As Cobra said, Make sure FSPort is selected in Turey's Installer... as well as all the rest of the mods (at least, that's what I would do.)
6) If you want the original FS1 + ST, ie, no SCP upgrades... you already have this via FSPort, but if you want the unmodified version, then install FS1 to C:\Games\FreeSpace or another directory, then install Silent Threat into the FS1 folder, as Cobra said; but take care that you DO NOT INSTALL RETAIL FS1 OR RETAIL SILENT THREAT INTO THE FS2 FOLDER!!!
