Hi,
I am trying to re-play some missions of fs 2 again in the mission simulator. Using the
FreeSpaceOpenInstaller with the mod Freespace II - 3.6.10 MediaVPs i get an error: "the current
canpaing is freespace 2 to current mod is mediavps."
After choosing my Fs 2 pilot the introduction screen is low res and the old fs style.
I have tried using the other mod Freespace Port Media VPs wtih the fs pilot i can play the
missions.
When i try to play the whole game again with a new pilot i also get an error.
I have done system recovery without succes.
The debug showed this:

Please help. :confused:

Please run a debug link and post the log as explained in JeffVader's link. We can then solve the problem.
-
i still use the 3.6.10. build and the 5.5e launcher.
-
i have run the debug
http://postimage.org/image/1vfqis86c/ (http://postimage.org/image/1vfqis86c/)
i still use the 3.6.10 build.
shoul i upgrade to the 3.6.12 build first ??
-
Yes, you should, and you should also post the log file from /FreeSpace2/data/fs2_open.log.
-
ok, here is the pastebin link
http://pastebin.com/fSJ5tYcA (http://pastebin.com/fSJ5tYcA)
-
That is not the log file. Please go to FreeSpace2/data/fs2_open.log, post the contents of that file.
But first upgrade to 3.6.12 and see if the problem persists.
-
strange, i can't find the log file from /FreeSpace2/data/fs2_open.log
Searched everywere in the root dir. :confused:
-
Hmm. Have you run a debug build? You need to do that for a log to be generated.
Debug builds end in -d or -debug.
Get 3.6.12 first.
-
my steps are:
1. in the launcher > C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Freespace 2\fs2_open_3_6_10_debug.exe.
2. MOD > Freespace II - 3.6.10 MediaVPs
3. Apply.
4. Run.
After that i get a millisecond startscreen followed by a black screen and a ping sound.
Then the waring screen appears : option YES > After that a screen Freespace is not working
There is no /FreeSpace2/data/fs2_open.log
Run the whole thing again > option NO > the screen keeps appearing.
There is no /FreeSpace2/data/fs2_open.log
Don't no what i am doing wrong here. The game just worked fine 1 day ago. Did a sytem restore without result.
Am stuck now. :shaking:
-
I have the 3.6.12 build now. The SSE 2 version because i have a corei7 cpu.
Do i now replace all the 3.6.10 files and .exe in the freespace root dir. with the new one or do i just add the new files
and leaving the old build in place?
-
Add the new one but make sure you select it in the launcher.
-
Run the whole thing again > option NO > the screen keeps appearing.
The log should be generated if the game engine boots up even a little, but if not, keep hitting "No" whenever you get a warning.
Since you're getting warnings, it is obvious that you have something wrong with your setup. If we could just get that log (you have succeeded in generating and posting one before), we could find out what the problem is.
-
added the 3.6.12 now.
now i cant even run the .exe
it goes to a black screen .
with this report.
http://postimage.org/image/1wvidgcpw/ (http://postimage.org/image/1wvidgcpw/)
after running the debug 3.6.12.d
http://postimage.org/image/1wvx9ah5w/ (http://postimage.org/image/1wvx9ah5w/)
i got this report.
And still no file in the data map. :confused:
-
You were on Windows 7, yes? Please check C:\Users\<Your Username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\<Rest of the path to your FS2 directory>\data . The log may be there, if your FS2 installation is under \Program files\ or \Program files (x86)\ .
-
Something is clearly wrong with your install, and it should be easily fixable, if we could just get the log.
If the log continues to fail to turn up, a screenshot of your FS2 directory may help, but the log is preferable - look where JeffVader suggested and maybe do a search of your entire hard drive.
-
Running the 3.6.12 d i still get a black screen then nothing. Have to ctrl-alt-del then the waring appears on the dekstop.
After hitting no a blackscreen pops up and a ping sound.
Done it several times without any log flie in the root dir.
-
yes have windows 7
-
Is the log file in the directory JeffVader suggested?
Does it turn up when you search your entire hard drive for fs2_open?
-
man o man. found the log finally with the directions of Jeff Vader
The virtual store!!! Didn't even thought about that.
Here's the log

Here's the problem:
Found root pack 'C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Freespace 2\INF_2Patch.vp' with a checksum of 0x7c988dc5
Found root pack 'C:\Program Files (x86)\GOG.com\Freespace 2\INF_Main.vp' with a checksum of 0xb7e1e9e6Please move these two files to \Freespace 2\INFR1\ , for example. Inferno R1 is a mod, after all, and each mod must be in its own subfolder.
-
Yes. Never place mod files in the main directory.
-
Thank you all. It worked. :)
I did indeed downloaded the Inferno mod yesterday but i didn't saw the .vp files in the regular root dir.
In the virtual store they were obviously causing the problem.
Did learned a lot today.
Only one thing else, when i run the fsport mod or the Freespace Port Media VPs there is no voice from command during the briefing or ingame.
Don't now if that always was the case though.
I am very greatfull. And will begin with a new mod tonight.
:yes:

Make sure you have stu_fs1.vp in your fsport3_2 mod foler.
-
i only have the fsport and the fsport-mediavps mod folders. i don't have the fsport3_2 mod folder. but i do have the stu_fs1.vp in the fsport folder but not in the fsport-mediavps mod folder.
-
This is however not such a big problem right now. So i'll begin with a new mod. Thanks very much again for all the help.

What?! What did you do to your Port install?
You need to have the fsport3_2 mod folder with these VPs. fsport3_2, fsport-missions, stu_fs1, tango_fs1, warble_fs1, and sparky_hi_fs1. You can also have odeon_fs1 and tango_hi_fs1. Those all need to be in fsport3_2 mod folder.
THEN
You need to have a separate mod folder called fsport-mediaVPs with the mv_fsport.vp and the appropriate mod.ini which I have attached.
EDIT: Better yet.. please go here and follow the instructions TO THE LETTER. http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70941.0 (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70941.0)
