Title: Very confused / mod install fail?
Post by: Leuthesius on May 02, 2011, 07:45:01 pm: I just finished playing AoA.

As far as I can tell I followed the installation instructions of WiH....

But I'm getting an error upon startup:

Try the Inferno build first. If that doesn't happen, you need to run a debug build (ends in -d or -debug) until you hit the error. Then navigate to FreeSpace2/data/ and see if you can locate fs2_open.log. If it's not there, and you're on a later Windows OS, check Compatibility Files.

Post by: General Battuta on May 02, 2011, 08:05:22 pm: That looks like a FRED debug build. Almost there, just try the one with FS2 instead of FRED2.

Once you've done that, locate the fs2_open.log file.

Post by: General Battuta on May 02, 2011, 08:12:01 pm: Almost there. You're posting the error, which is a start, but to fix the problem, we need the fs2_open.log file, which is usually located in FreeSpace2/data/. If it's too long to fit in a forum post, use Pastebin.

Promise that'll be it.

Title: Re: Very confused / mod install fail?
Post by: General Battuta on May 02, 2011, 08:22:20 pm: Ah - two big problems. First, move all the folders inside 'Mod' directly into the FreeSpace 2 directory.

You should end up with

\FreeSpace2\blueplanet
\FreeSpace2\blueplanet2
\FreeSpace2\mediavps_3612

Placing stuff in subfolders prevents the mods from being able to see each other.

Second - IMPORTANT - move your FreeSpace 2 directory to C:\Games\.
Title: Re: Very confused / mod install fail?
Post by: Leuthesius on May 02, 2011, 08:25:31 pm: Are there any files that are "silent"?

I'm getting an error where it's not allowing me to move the freespace 2 folder because the "folder or file is open in another program"... I don't see anything obvious on the task manager list.

edit:
My computer fu is getting worse as I get older
I don't know what changed but it moved finally.

Well that's a new one on me. :eek2: Could you run the mission in debug and post another log?

That should not be happening. Why would that be happening? blehhhh
Title: Re: Very confused / mod install fail?
Post by: Leuthesius on May 03, 2011, 02:38:08 am: General and Blue Planet team. I ****ing <3 you guys.

Neomi, your heart rate is increasing. Would you like to see a picture of kittens?

LOLOLOLOLOL OMG GOLD.

I'm going to have to re-run tha tmission later. It didn't kill the game, just sorta bugged.
Man, I'm sorry, but this game becomes completely unplayable with the assault on Carthage mission. I can handle the crazy FPS lag when there one or two ships in one direction, but you spend this entire mission with on in your viewing area 90% of the time. You cannot see anything long enough to get through it. :/

Is there a way to shut off the rotation on the Frigates? That's got to be what causes the lag.... and also, the rotatyness is cool, but is it totally necessary if its a lag problem? Seems more asthetic than purpose, considering the GTA had grav-decks even during the Terran Vasudan War...

I've made four attempts at this mission. Each one ended exactly the same. I could not maneuver because of fps lag and thus was unable to take out beam turrets and thus lost the katana. Balls. :/

Any idea how long its gonna take to fix this little bug? Because I'm going to have to shelf it until its fixed.
Title: Re: Very confused / mod install fail?
Post by: The E on May 03, 2011, 02:55:15 am: The rotation stuff is in no way responsible for the FPS penalty Karuna frigates incur (How did you come to that conclusion anyway?), it's the fact that the Karuna uses somewhere over 30 textures, and a high number of render passes to fully render.

What you could try is to use a nightly build. We have made quite a few improvements to render performance, they could help you out a bit. But in the end, an Intel graphics chip is just ****; there isn't much we can do about that.
Title: Re: Very confused / mod install fail?
Post by: Leuthesius on May 03, 2011, 03:07:25 am: Well that could be a big chunk of it. While playing AoA, I had some slog there too. But I couldnt figure out how to render the ships not-so-much while also maintaining a quality of play that didn't involve shooting at giant blocks.

... Man, for an i7 modern computer, it sure sucks it up when it comes to even mostly 10+ year old graphics... I cannot wait until I get my desktop back. :'(

Post by: Leuthesius on May 03, 2011, 12:15:12 pm: A very good point. I shut rendering off though (finally found it) and the lag is significantly less whenever a Frigate is in my view screen.

Ok, I don't know how I did it but I finally "won". If you can call it that. I guess the probability engine decided it was time for me to go to the next part.

And by the way.... phenomenal storyline. Neomi is my herro.

@ The E

Features --> Troubleshoot --> Disable OpenGL Render Targets. :)

I still hit as low as 5.5 fps when staring at multiple Frigs, but if its just one or two theres almost no lag at all.

Well, you could always try the following:
- open the Launcher
- switch your build to fs2_open_3_6_12d_INF_SSE2.exe
- apply the changes, start the game and try to get to the main hall
- quit

Ta-dah. You should now have a brand-new, shiny fs2_open.log!

Post by: Jeff Vader on May 04, 2011, 01:14:41 am: Well, since you probably had problems with BP, it would be good if you could generate a log while having WiH as an active mod. Dirge log really doesn't help us verify your BP setup is in order.
