Title: Where can i get FRED2 vanilla?
Post by: Charismatic on April 02, 2005, 09:00:44 pm

Because my FRED2 is not working, nor is the FRED2Open. I figure, "IF i get a new one, it will be working, and will be fixed! YayyY!".

Link please.

Seriously. It's on the CD.

Which one?
Kvat told me,

"anfi_87 (9:15:06 PM): ANy way i can grab it from the CD, if so, which CD has FRED2?
anfi_87 (9:15:17 PM): w\o reloading all fs2?

kv1at3485 (9:15:50 PM): I don't think FRED2 is on any of the CDs as a distinct file.
kv1at3485 (9:16:30 PM): Just wait for the April Fool's madness to end and post your problem on the forums tomorrow.

anfi_87 (9:17:23 PM): alright."

You can find FRED2 vanilla at your local Freespace Market.

Check them all. There's only three of them.

And Kv1at can't be right about it not being on CD. The game doesn't compile exe's on it's own, it just copies them. If it could compile them, the source would be on the CD, and we'd have had the source code project years ago :p

Ehh. I would have uploaded it, but it's .004 MB too large, and I don't feel like opening up cuteftp today...

I'd upload it, but for some reason, I got a bajillion hits at my site for no apparent reason, and I'm out of bandwidth. :wtf:

And since the link to "FRED!" in the recent builds forum isn't exactly around, that isn't all that helpful.  Seriously, if you need something from online, just wait a day or so for this board madness to get resolved.

Actually Phreak posted an even newer build over on Game-Warden.

FRED 1.2, in fact all the upgrades from the patch to v1.2 are in this download (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/karajorma/freespace/Downloads/HotUv1.20Pack.rar)

Actually, PhReAk's most recent FRED build dates to March 24th.  No new builds of either FRED or FSO (unless you count Bob's Cell-shading or the Linux builds) have been posted since the 26th.

I have checked all three CD's and I can say, beyond a reasonable doubt, that FRED2 is not on them in a ready to use form.

i.e. You'd need to install the game to get at it, or try to open up some of those archives.

...eh?

Fine. I'll look for myself, because I don't believe that.

Eh. Ok. So yeah, it's in a cab file.... oh well.

If he's having trouble with Fred, though, I doubt a new copy of vanilla will change anything. He'll probably have to reinstall it.

It's the files you get when you patch retail 1.0 TO v1.2 :)

I bundled them up cause HotU comes with the v1.0 and it's a pain in the rump to patch it to 1.2 any other way.

Just maybe a little help for extracting from cab files.

There's two types, one is accessable by any number of archive programs, the other is the kind used in most installation programs.

Since I'm not sure the exact terminology to use, I'll say the second type is encrypted. There is a program that will extract from these archive files. It's called Zipscan.

You can download a trial version here:  http://www.zipscan.co.uk/  

It was the only thing I could find that would work.
