Title: FRED2 help topics lost
Post by: Marcov on June 05, 2010, 09:42:40 pm

Apparently I've lost the help document for FRED2.

It says: "Unable to locate Fred Help file: \data\freddocs\index.html"

Is there any available download or something?

Do you have any mods active?

Can you browse to that folder manually (e.g. using Windows Explorer)?

In your main FS2 directory, there should be \data\freddocs with a bunch of files in it, the FRED help files. If you don't have them, you can download them from the K-faq, namely here (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/karajorma/FAQ/downloads.html) - Under HotU, download Fred Docs.

Yea easiest thing to do is just brows to it with your web browser and bookmark them once you load the right index.  Something like this:

file:///C:/Games/FreeSpace2/data/freddocs/index-no-really.html

Noticed the index isn't called index.
