Title: Problem running BP2
Post by: praseodym on February 22, 2015, 12:48:00 pm

Hi there,

big problems running FS2 in Ubuntu 14.04 with kernel 3.16. wxlauncher shows

Code: [Select]

ERROR: "music.tbl(line 200): Error: Required token = [$Name] or [#Menu Music End], found [(By Ed Finkler)]." at parse/parselo.cpp:333
AL lib: ReleaseALC: 1 device not closedThe attached log is from trying to start Transcend, RC5 Debug build doesn't even start.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Why are you trying to use a 3.6.12 build? Can't you get something a bit more recent, like 3.7.0?

The problem I'm seeing there in the log is inexplicable, as far as I know, the string "By Ed Finkler" does not appear in any music.tbl ever shipped in retail, the MVPs, or Transcend.

You need mediavps_2014.

Please search your FS2 directory and all its subdirectories for a file called music.tbl, then delete any that you can find.

And yes, BP requires the 2014 mediavps, so you'll have to install those.

Ah, I forgot about case-sensitive...
Edit mod.ini in blueplanet2 and change mediavps_2014 to MediaVPs_2014.

Removed the tables, changed to capital letters, but still no joy. Log attached.

I also checked all the md5sums of both blueplanet folders and MediaVPs_2014. They are allright

Hmm... your checksums all look fine, and yet:

Code: [Select]

MISSIONS: Ship "Taurus 1" has an invalid ship type (ships.tbl probably changed).  Making it type 0
MISSIONS: Ship "Taurus 2" has an invalid ship type (ships.tbl probably changed).  Making it type 0
MISSIONS: Ship "Taurus 3" has an invalid ship type (ships.tbl probably changed).  Making it type 0

Could you tell me everything you have in your /home/oliver/Freespace2/data/tables/ folder?

ls -l Freespace2/data/tables/

-rw-rw-r-- 1 oliver oliver 156819 Sep 25  1999 ships.tblTrying to rename it and will report back.

Seems to work. Thanks, guys, for your input. After removing all the .tbl files mentioned in this posting it seems to work now.

Maybe some remainings from the original FS2 installation. Someone may amend the Installer to remove these files automatically?!

The original FS2 installation would not have loose .tbl files, and as The_E already noted:

I'm getting an error about 28 ships missing (for Chapter 3) and 2 ships missing (for chapter 2)
Everything is updated.
Full Media VP's 2014, BP1 and BP2, trough FSO Installer.

Please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

Ignore. Fixed it myself.
