Title: Derelict problem with protect governor's shuttle mission
Post by: CaptJosh on June 11, 2008, 04:20:11 pm: Has anyone tried playing this mission in SCP recently? I'm using taylor's March 14th XT built and after I fight off all the enemies, which I seriously doubt are pirates, given the amount of firepower deployed, rather than docking with the station, the Capellan governor's shuttle just keeps bouncing off the thing until it loses all hull integrity and blows up.

Post by: CaptJosh on June 11, 2008, 05:05:39 pm: I'll double-check the mod.ini, but it should already be referencing the mediavps. If it's not I'll try fixing that, then try the patch. Thanks for the speedy help.

EDIT: Just checked, and whoever made the mod.ini had the mediavps referenced as Media_VPs. *sigh*

EDIT2: With the mediavps correctly addressed in the mod.ini file, I was able to progress, as the shuttle entered the docking bay of the Luxor instead of beating itself to death on the Ganymede docking ring.

Post by: CaptJosh on June 11, 2008, 07:16:13 pm: I should probably do something more constructive like upload a corrected standard mod.ini
Title: Re: Derelict problem with protect governor's shuttle mission
Post by: colecampbell666 on June 11, 2008, 08:36:15 pm: It's already in the installer.

And anyone, even with VERY little knowledge, can edit a mod.ini.

But upload it anyway, help the young.

Post by: Turey on June 12, 2008, 01:25:53 am: There's already a correct mod.ini for Derelict here (http://www.fsoinstaller.com/files/installer/mod.ini).
Title: Re: Derelict problem with protect governor's shuttle mission
Post by: CaptJosh on June 14, 2008, 04:00:20 pm: Ok. I didin't get Derelict via the installer. I hadn't intended to get it originally. Got bored with some other stuff and decided to see what the hype was about. It's pretty tough.

Post by: Jake2447 on March 26, 2009, 10:18:57 pm: BUMP

I am getting the same problem with the shuttle not docking...but I am using the correct mod.ini
any other solutions to this problem?

Also, I have progressed beyond this point before.

EDIT: Using 3.6.10 mediavps
and fs2open 3.6.10 build 5029
Title: Re: Derelict problem with protect governor's shuttle mission
Post by: FUBAR-BDHR on March 26, 2009, 10:35:14 pm: First thing to try is RC1. That 3.6.10 build is kind of outdated.
Title: Re: Derelict problem with protect governor's shuttle mission
Post by: Jake2447 on March 27, 2009, 07:04:57 am: is the ganymede supposed to be on the same plane as the typhon? As in should the circular part of the ganymede go around the destroyer?
Title: Re: Derelict problem with protect governor's shuttle mission
Post by: ARSPR on March 27, 2009, 08:43:02 am: The problem is that:
+ That mission is made based on old mediavps releases which had an incompatible Faustus (compatible meaning "behaves like retail").
+ New mediavp 3.6.10. is compatible again.
+ Then, with or without newest mediavps, you get the rotated blocking Ganimede (which is actually DOCKED to a Faustus).

You need a fixed mission. Take it from Mantis 1168 (http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/view.php?id=1168).
(You can read the full discussion there).

Post by: Goober5000 on March 27, 2009, 01:59:12 pm: Alternatively, use Turey's Installer to update your Derelict installation. It will download a patch that fixes this issue plus a few others.
