Title: Freespace Open not working: 497 errors
Post by: Orpheus on November 13, 2010, 03:45:39 pm: I have a working install of FSO, that works without the mods. However, when I activate mods, I get 497 errors. One of the most obvious results is that I don't see any models when I go to the technical database in the Menu screen. Just a few dots and that's it.

Screenies:

He also built his own executable, I believe.

~~how can the script be complex? you just point it to the executable and add the commandline options.~~

nvm, re-read your post, you said launcher script, not startup script :p sovvie

Post by: Orpheus on November 14, 2010, 12:24:45 pm: I just downloaded a debug executable. Running it give me the same 497 errors. How can I make a log file with the errors in it?

Post by: Orpheus on November 14, 2010, 01:13:59 pm: more info, finally I did run the debug executable. Too many errors to fit in this message, so the log file can be found here (http://www.siebring.org/bestanden/fs2_open.log)

Unable to find extension "GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc".
Please install driconf and switch on texture compression support.

Post by: pecenipicek on November 15, 2010, 08:27:06 am: Orpheus, are you perchance running the windows executables through wine on linux?

Also, as a side note, why run through the Mesa opengl interface? My advice is to use the ATI drivers for your GPU.
