Hullo again.
Once I had installed the TBP files and installed it, upon running the game from the launcher after adjusting the settings, I get the:
Unable to get proper pixel format for OpenGL W32! - error.
Which is annoying, because I've gotten the game to run using D3D, but that option doesn't work with the TBP.
So, I'm sorry if a fix has been posted, but seriously, I'm not going to rummage through 90+ pages, and I couldn't think of search queries to match the problem.
-
This isn't the BP mod area. If you meant TBP then you have a problem with your video card and/or drivers. Check here for info: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,56279.msg1180356.html#msg1180356
-
Yes, well, I've tried both of the 'fixes' when I first got the FSO, which didn't work for no goddamn reason, that's why I'm running D3D in the first place.
-
Run debug build. Find 'freespace/data/fs2_open.log' as described here... http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,56279.msg1180359.html#msg1180359 - section marked Your fs2_open.log:
Post the log here using 'code' tags and lets have a look at it.
-
What video card/chipset do you have. I'm guessing Intel.
You can try a 3.6.10 build and see if that helps. If you still get the crash run the debug build and attach the fs2_open.log from the data folder.
The other option if you card wont' support OpenGL is a D3D exe. There is one posted around here somewhere.
Note: 3.6.10 isn't officially supported for TBP unless it's multiplayer.
@ Wanderer: What the heck are we going to keep posting at the same time all day or what?

I'm using Nvidia nForce 570 SLI chipset.
I'll run the debugging in a little.

Thats not a log from The Babylon Project it's from FSPort Cardinal Spear.

Regardless where the log is from... Driver seems to be ok. Card itself certainly is. Hmmm... Make sure you have not enabled the extension limits (check from Nvidia control panel).. And as expected the game starts in OpenGL mode regardless (its better to choose that from the list in the first place).

There shouldn't be any non-retail vp files in your root directory, apart from the cutscene pack and possibly the two multiplayer vps. And you already had Cardinal Spear in its own subfolder so I can't understand why you'd have it in the root directory as well.

Ooh, bollocks. Is this the correct log, then? I've kind of lost track, with all these modification instructions the different campaigns come with.
And Lobo, I'm not sure what exactly to delete here. I mean, the files aren't exactly called 'Irrelevantfile.vp'.

No idea why you have ballistic-gauge turned on but I don't think that is causing the problem.
Do I understand you right that you are saying you can run FS2 in D3D mode but not OpenGL? If so I think there is a D3D version of TBP. Can't say it's 100% tested but I'll try to dig it up.

And thanks for the links, Karaj.
Update: I had some odd problems with the smoke/fires from hull-breaches on ships. The same thing when, for example, I blew up an asteroid. Basically, instead of fires and smokes, I get huge white blocks. In the case of the asteroids, my screen turns white from the hugeness of the block. So when I tweaked the features in the Launcher to see if I could fix it, I get this error when I try to start it up again;
Warning: Too many ship classes before 'Sinclair's Aurora'; maximum is 130, so only the first 130 will be used

NEW UPDATE: Fixed the Launcher-error by running the game directly from the .exe instead of the Launcher. Tried different settings on the particle qualities, etc, only succeeded in slightly turning the horrible lag I get from watching the white blocks down.

Those warning only appear in the debug builds. Switch back to the regular one. As for the boxes make sure you have the -jpgtga flag on. Looks like you did but switching builds will sometimes disable it.

Adding in the flag didn't fix it.

Can't believe I didn't notice this before. Why do you have TBP under your FS2 folder? TBP is a standalone program and not a mod. It should not be under your FS2 folder. You are loading both TBP and FS2 stuff at the same time that is bound to cause problems. I suggest a complete reinstall of TBP in the correct folder for starters.

Reinstalled in an entirely different directory. The problem is still there. Smoke effects are still white blocks and lags me horribly.

As andicirk once said (pretty much): your Windows is probably dying. The simplest solution would be for you to reinstall Windows entirely.

Do you have the latest drivers for you video card? http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_180.48_whql.html

Yes.
And I'd rather dissect my own, still living dog, Lobo.

I think I've had it with your attitude. We try to help and every idea is met with nothing but criticism.
-
The white boxes are a side-effect of running in D3D. It's crap like that that made us abandon D3D support in the first place. D3D builds are basically provided as a last ditch solution. If they work, great. If not, then that's unfortunate for you but D3D won't be getting fixed any time soon (if ever) since pretty much everyone has moved over to OpenGL (which appears to be borked for you).
