Title: New guy here, need some help.
Post by: TheFriendlyBro on December 23, 2015, 07:13:48 am: Hi people, I have known about this project for FreeSpace fora while now but never really delved into it.

Well now I have and I need some help, so I am using the FreeSpace Open Installer and decided to install the complete version and not sure if this is correct or not but I have gotten a lot of "Failed" installs.
Why is this?

Some of the hosted files for the mods have been either deleted or moved, causing 404 errors. I'm awaiting a response from the maintainer of the file hosting site.
This has been a problem for a couple months now; unfortunately, you'll have to do without those particular mods until the problem is fixed (or you can try to track down a manual download).

Yeah, if you're interested in those campaigns, best to manually track them down. Those are all older campaigns, so not as up-to-date as modern staples like Blue Planet or Wings of Dawn. Still, if you want to play them, you might be able to find them on http://www.freespacemods.net/ (http://www.freespacemods.net/).

Post by: X3N0-Life-Form on January 02, 2016, 12:08:32 pm: Or not, since it's still work in progress, and I'd rather point new forum members at released campaigns.

Post by: Bryan See on January 02, 2016, 12:14:51 pm: In any case, I'll keep you informed when it is ready for release.

Post by: niffiwan on January 02, 2016, 05:24:46 pm: TheFriendlyBro: the issue with the installer should be fixed now, try running it again to get all the downloads that previously failed.
