So, i just recently got into FS2 open and all this modding stuff and i found BP and downloaded it and such. i followed all the instructions to the letter and found that AOA wouldnt work. i click continue (i just started so im trying to start the campain) and it sits for a few seconds and then an error pops up with a bunch of ship names. it doesnt say what is wrong just error and a lot of names. i messed around for a little and downloaded everything but to no avail. i tried War in Heaven and that works fine
-
Please follow these instructions (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,56279.msg1180359.html#msg1180359) and generate a log file we can look at.
-
here is the log file that it was talking about. I dont really know much about this stuff so pardon my noobishness

Bad kid. Put your stuff somewhere else than Program files. Will only cause you trouble, be it because of the UAC or because of too long absolute filepaths.

You're missing the MV_Assets.3612.vp.
-
i moved all my files to my desktop, and i got the assets vp but i still get the same problem
-
Then get us a new log.
Also, can someone who actually has a correct AoA install check his checksums ?
-
BP checksums match
\blueplanet\bp-audio1.vp' with a checksum of 0xcc452f9d
\blueplanet\bp-audio2.vp' with a checksum of 0x060bee91
\blueplanet\bp-core.vp' with a checksum of 0xe2219ccf

\blueplanet\bp-visuals2.vp' with a checksum of 0x44c7e8dd

My first guess was his OpenGL version 1.1, but he said blue planet 2 worked fine. As Matt said, new log please.
-
In regards to the location where you put your FreeSpace2 folder: it should NOT be Program files, the desktop or Documents.
C:\Games\freespace2 is a popular, working location.
-
new log

Uh.
Do my eyes betray me, or none of the two concerns I raised above have been addressed ?
-
What do you mean? i moved it and i downloaded the assets update
-
according to the log file the game still resides in C:\Program Files (x86)
-
Remember that you have to move the entire FS2 install, not just BP, and to unpack the assets update. :)
If you done that, then, it seems like you uploaded the old log.
-
yea i uploaded the old one my bad

Yeah, "C:\Users\Peter Forshaw\Desktop\Freespace 2" is still a long absolute path. You should move the whole thing to something like C:\Games\Freespace2, really.
Also,
Found root pack 'C:\Users\Peter Forshaw\Desktop\Freespace 2\mediavps_3612\sfsoty-single-missions.vp' with a checksum of 0x44df0ffb
Whatever this is, this definitely doesn't belong in the MVPs folder. Make a new mod folder for it.
Aaaand, last but not least,
Found root pack 'C:\Users\Peter Forshaw\Desktop\Freespace 2\blueplanet\bp-visuals1.vp' with a checksum of 0x316467fa
Found root pack 'C:\Users\Peter Forshaw\Desktop\Freespace 2\blueplanet\bp-visuals2.vp' with a checksum of 0x39fe8221
Those two don't correspond to headdie's checksums. Which means that you either have outdated or corrupted VPs here. Better re-DL them from the release thread.
-
alright i moved everything again and i re DLed the visual VPs but to no avail... here is the log when i tried it again

That's odd. I just compared Forshado's bp checksums with mine, and they all match except for one: bp-core. On the other hand, Forshado's match headdie's.

Found root pack 'C:\FreeSpace 2\blueplanet\bp-core.vp' with a checksum of 0x6b804787

Could someone else with a valid BP install post his/her checksums?
-
I don't know my way around log files, so I made a checksum file of the Blueplanet directory with Hashcheck (http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/). To the best of my knowledge this is a working install, but I haven't played it in a while. Nothing should have changed since the last time though.
Drop the blueplanet.md5 Rename blueplant.txt to blueplanet.md5, drop it right in your freespace2 directory and double click it with the prog above installed if you don't want to comb through it yourself. I find it's a handy thing to have installed anyway, I like it better than Hashtab because of the checksum files.
