Title: Crucible - issue
Post by: Lucika on December 15, 2009, 11:21:48 am
I DL'ed this campaign and the .rar had only a .vp file in it. I figured that it's OK, so I made a "crucible" folder on the approptiate space and I launched the campaign.

I got 9 errors on startup. The mod and the campaign were both "crucible" according to FS.
I started the mission anyway and I, of course, had no primaries.

Is the DL ****ed up or what was my mistake?

did you created the mod.ini for that particular fmod?

if not, copy the mod.ini from the fsport folder into the crucible one and edit the secondrylist if necesary. (don't remember if crucible needed fsport_mediavps, if so add it)

I added both the primaries and the secondaries to the mod.ini. Still no primary weaponry.
It makes the mission much harder :P

Try restarting the campaign.

Try restarting the campaign.

It did nothing.

:wtf: As in...?

Crucible is (seems to be) an FSPort campaign -> the mod.ini should be along the lines of

Code: [Select]
[multimod]
secondarylist = fsport;
if you just want it to work,

Code: [Select]
[multimod]
secondarylist = fsport,mediavps;
if you want to use the MediaVPs with it, and

Code: [Select]
[multimod]
secondarylist = fsport-mediavps,fsport,mediavps;
if you have the FSPort MediaVPs and want to use them as well.

I used this, it didn't work. I gave a try to
Code: [Select]
[multimod]
primarylist = fsport,mediavps
secondarylist = fsport,mediavps;
but of course it didn't work EITHER.

Anycase, the "primarylist" line is generally needed ONLY WITH SILENT THREAT: REBORN, so fiddling with it won't probably fix anything else, ever.

Out of curiosity, what would happen if you tried to run Crucible without FSPort? If it still refuses to work, I'd like an fs2_open.log, plz.

Without FSPort? I tried it without any mod.ini (as it wasn't included in the download) first but it had no primaries, again, that's why I am here.

Also, did you create a new pilot after trying it without FSPort?

Dang, you are right. Bullseye! It works fine now.
