Title: Need some help
Post by: Akrovah on August 21, 2002, 12:37:46 pm

Ok what i am trying to do is convert Freespace so that it may be played on the FreeSpace 2 engine. I know that this is realtively pointless but i'm doing it just for laughs, (and for hi screen rez and pretty nebula backgrounds.

Thje problem is that i have converted the weapons and ships tables into the fs2 format, including the XSTR stuff and added the engine wash entries at the file header, but when i try to open fred2 i get the following errors.




Error: Error parsing 'weapons.tbl'

ship[s forst, did you copy the pof from fs1 into fs2 directly...or did you extract the pof's directly into your models folder for fs2?

i extracted the pofs from the freespace .vp file into the models directory of my freespace2 data folder.

that was your first mistake.... the pof's aren't compatible.....but there is a way around this.

First off go here.......click me (http://www.descent-freespace.com/tools/ )

and download the mission manager.
hit the configure button to tell it where to save the pof's.

then hit the pof editor button......and open each ship that you are transfering from fs1 to fs2.

just open it....then hit ok......and make sure it is saving in the fs2 format......do that for all the ships....when you are done let me know .

Insisting on doing something that has already been done. Are you going to follow up by porting the FS2 campaign to FS2? :rolleyes:

Fs2 campaign to fs2_open? :p

Nope. To standard FS2. Porting it to FS_open just might have a point. :)
