Title: Error when starting up game/mod.
Post by: Koolkevz on November 24, 2015, 05:36:58 pm

Hello

First my apologies if this is posted wrongly or it has been created in the wrong place I am brand new to the site and I am still unsure if this is the right place to post this.

Okay so after following the instructions for installing FSO and Blue Planet and such I seem to have hit a number of errors when i try to start the game. This is what I get when I start the game and I would appreciate some help in understanding what these mean and what I need to do to fix them. Thank you.

PS: I am really clueless when it comes to software and such so expect a lot of difficulty with me, so sorry.

The Errors:

You need to use a recent nightly build instead of 3.7.2.

So I think i have done everything needed to get the game to work but now when I go to play the mod I can get into the game but when I click play campaign I get a black screen with some white loading bars and then the game stops responding. Do I need to do more? Have I messed up or am I just that unacknowledged that playing this mod is going to be beyond me.

It's loading. Just wait for it to finish! It might take a few minutes cause it's caching models.

Ignore it if it says it stopped responding.

Wow then I am an idiot. And General while you are here I would just liek to say congratulations to you and everyone else who worked on this mod, watching the youtube videos it shows just how great this mod is and you have all done an incredible job.

It might be possible to make FSO respond to operating system messages while loading; it currently doesn't call the OS polling functions mid-load.

game_busy should call os_poll. That will make sure that events are properly handled.
