Well, while I'm not a WC fan, the positive comment on the forum determined me to download and give it a try.
But as in life not all the things go right on the first time, so happened here:
ERROR: "Invalid subsystem name.
In sexpression: ( when ( and ( is-event-true-delay "Launch Alpha 2" 3 ) ( > ( distance-ship-subsystem "Alpha 1" "TCS Lexington" " at mission/missionparse.cpp:5798
That's what I get when I attempt to start the first mission.
I'm running fs2_open 3.6.9 on Linux.
I have other mods installed (each in in it's own folder).
My fs2_open launch parameters are:
./fs2_open -spec -env -glow -mipmap -missile_lighting -2d_poof -cache_bitmaps -dualscanlines -rearm_timer -3dwarp -warp_flash -snd_preload -jpgtga -targetinfo -ship_choice_3d -wcsaga -mod wcsaga
This is the same command line I use with other mods, none of them causing me problems
I have the following VPs in my FS2 root folder:
LightspeedFS2.vp mp-710_effects.vp mv_effects.vp smarty_fs2.vp tango1_fs2.vp
Root_fs2.vp mp-710_models.vp mv_models.vp sparky_fs2.vp tango2_fs2.vp
aaNebulae.vp mv_adveffects.vp mv_music.vp sparky_hi_fs2.vp tango3_fs2.vp
mp-710_adveffects.vp mv_core.vp mv_textures.vp stu_fs2.vp warble_fs2.vp
(i don't remember what each one does, but afaik, I've placed mod-specific vps in their respective folders, and "common" vps in the root folder)
Hope anyone has an idea, because I don't. :mad:
-
Don't run WCS as an FS2 mod. It's meant to be run as a stand alone game.
-
Hmmm..... and how exactly should i do that?
Dump fs2_open and the saga files in a folder and that's it?
-

yes

Done that, same error :mad::
This is the list of files in my WCSaga directory:
LightspeedFS2.vp fs2_open.png mv_effects.vp sparky_hi_fs2.vp wc4_campaign_0.24.vp
Root_fs2.vp mp-710_adveffects.vp mv_models.vp stu_fs2.vp wc4_core_0.23.vp
aaNebulae.vp mp-710_effects.vp mv_music.vp tango1_fs2.vp
fs2_open mp-710_models.vp mv_textures.vp tango2_fs2.vp
fs2_open-3.6.9.run mv_adveffects.vp smarty_fs2.vp tango3_fs2.vp
fs2_open.bin mv_core.vp sparky_fs2.vp warble_fs2.vp
Please help :(

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it so that one does not need any vp files that contain fs2, mp or mv in their file names, when playing WCS? Not to mention aaNebulae and LightspeedFS2.
-
Short answer: I do not know.
Long answer: Those are the files that are used by FS2. I am unsure what are the required ones and what are the optional ones, that's why I'm asking on the forum.
Because if I place only the fs2_open, fs2_open.bin and the two WC4 VPs in a folder, I get the "cannot create web cursor" (or something like it) error.
Possible solution:
Someone post a list of files from a working WCSaga demo for me to make a comparision.

The only file that does not contain fs2, mp, or mv in the name is "aaNebulae.vp", and you already said it's not a valid/required file.
Did you meant to say "one does not need any vp files that begin with fs2, mp or mv in their file names"? I'll try this option anyway.

Done that, but in XP this time. Got the same error (apparently, the fs2_open for linux clipped the error message):

And, you should really have your Media VPs in /FreeSpace2/mediavps and run them as -mod mediavps or (eg for FSPort) -mod fsport,mediavps

Where should i get those? I used the link provided on the announcement thread and ended with two VPs in a 7z archive:
wc4_campaign_0.24.vp
wc4_core_0.23.vp
I'll take a look on the WCSaga website and see what can I find. Tomorrow.
-
Bah, you've just downloaded a small addon for Wing Commander Saga Prologue. You need the whole thing ;)
-
Crap... and you're telling me this only now? :hopping:
Neah, my bad :D
I suppose that the necessary files can be found on the website.
Note: think you should add on the announcement the "You need the complete Wing Commander (link) to play this" for n00bs like me :D
-
open your eyes ;)
To install the WC 4 demo, unrar the file into the Prologue folder. Then, from within the game, go to the campaign select screen, select Wing Commander 4 Demo, and then start the campaign by hitting the continue button.

open your eyes ;)
I did :D
And while they're open, I'll take a good look at your work. :)
