Title: Trying to get FRED to work with anything but a screwed-up parallel universe FSO
Post by: colecampbell666 on April 24, 2008, 01:28:01 pm: I can't get FRED to work with anything but normal FSO, and even that seems to be screwed. When I enter a mod name on either 3.6.9 or .10, it refuses to see it. And when I use normal FSO, no mod, it sees a whole bunch of ships I haven't seen before. The PVI Shah, the GTI Polaris (which both seem to be a Karnak), a bunch of ST ships (GTD Orion#Krios, etc.) Also, I'm getting stuff that seems to be from BWO and PI, but those .VPs aren't anywhere they shouldn't be.

Also, it won't work in an alternate FS directory I made months ago, which tells me it might have something to do with registry or something.

Also, I've found the SF Gorgon, which I KNOW shouldn't be there.

The launcher doesn't affect FRED for me. Right now I'm using FRED for my own campaign, and playing a different campaign. I've seen no instances of the launcher affecting FRED while doing this, so I suspect that the problem lay elsewhere...

Post by: Droid803 on April 25, 2008, 05:50:38 pm: Yea, the launcher never affected FRED.
I had to make a shortcut to run the mod path.

What build are you using? I've been using the 3.6.10 build from Turey's installer without that problem... Just curious to see if there is a build that I should avoid. ;)

Post by: karajorma on April 26, 2008, 03:00:48 am: It's not a bug. Builds from 3.6.10 on are affected by launcher settings apparently.

Post by: colecampbell666 on April 26, 2008, 09:45:20 am: It only happened with one mod, though.

Seemed to work for me with Derelict yesterday.

Regardless, it's a good idea so long as people are warned. No more messing with command lines and creating multiple FRED shortcuts depending what Mod you're working on. I like it! =)

Post by: colecampbell666 on April 27, 2008, 12:01:45 pm: I tried to do it purposely, but no go. Perhaps you need a mod.INI or something, but that shouldn't affect it.

Post by: MP-Ryan on April 28, 2008, 01:41:42 am: I just tried again and it didn't work for me either. *shrug* I'll post about it in the SCP forum.

Post by: Cobra on April 28, 2008, 04:24:55 pm: It's actually affected 3.6.9. The bug lies with FSPort being selected as a mod in the launcher. Where it gets the Gorgon from, I have no clue.

Post by: colecampbell666 on April 28, 2008, 07:17:11 pm: Awakenings. It uses the Gorgon (IIRC) and it also uses FSPort as a multimod.
