Title: No FS1 medal screen?
Post by: Shadow86 on May 24, 2008, 11:07:06 am

So after beating FS2, I decided to replay FS1 using the FSPort mod. The interface in general is FS2's, except for the flight deck. I don't know if this was intended or not, but it doesn't bother me. What does, however, is that the medal case doesn't look like FS1's, but FS2's (you don't earn anything similar to the SOC Unit Crest, and I'm seeing its spot there).

I've played just a couple of missions and earned my wings and a Distinguished Flying Cross (for nailing that ace hidden in the asteroid field), and those show up on the case just fine. I guess there's no problem there as both decorations are present in FS2 as well. However, I know there are different ones in FS1, like the Conspicuous Gallantry medal. What will happen then?

So obviously there's something wrong. My version of FSPort (which I think is 3.0.4) was downloaded with the latest version of FSO Installer (I didn't have the original FreeSpace 1 installed). I corrected the mod.ini file in the fsport folder so that the mod properly used the improved media VPs. The file looks like this now...

Code: [Select]

[launcher]
infotext     = FreeSpace 1, now ported to run on the FreeSpace 2 engine.;
website      = http://fsport.hard-light.net/;
forum        = http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/board,39.0.html;

[multimod]
primarylist  = ,mediavps;
secondarylist = ;

[settings]
However, it didn't fix the medal case issue. I'm obviously missing something here.

Any ideas?

Here's the contents of the settings.ini file, in case it helps...

FSPort uses the FS2 medal graphics with the FS1 medal names.

I'm sure someone will EVENTUALLY port the medals screen over, but for now, this works.
