while you guys are here...I have the sparky_hi_fs2.vp in the FS2 directory but the box in the video tab is greyed out...and the parameter -htl isn`t there...anything else I`m missing..?

[Taristin]

Which box are you reffering to?

You probably have the standard FS2 exe selected. Change the exe selection and see if that helps.

[cyavhn]

box is hi res pack...I have fs2_open_3_5.exe...the launcher is 2.5 ver...I`ve put the -htl in the custom command line box...no probs and does seem to look better...

[Taristin]

The high res pack is from the media VP, IIRC. It's the textures from FS1, not the 1024x768 standard FS2 game maps.

[cyavhn]

ok...the launcher version I have says 2.5...someone else has told me use a 3.3 version...???

[RandomTiger]

The 2.x versions were a bit buggy.
Download the latest from my sig.

[cyavhn]

ok...got the 3.3 version...got this error
Error: Unrecogzined command line parameter -pcx32
File:C:\fs2_open\fs2_open\code\Cmdline\cmdline.cpp
Line: 452

Call stack:
------------------------------------------------------------------
    kernel32.dll 77e7eb69()
------------------------------------------------------------------
and I get an errror for every box...

[cyavhn]

ya...the latest...seems the error is caused by a space in the command line between the .exe and the - ...!
the 2.5 was working fine, not all the command parameters though...got the 3.3 and it only works properly if no parameter boxes are ticked...and if they are you get error messages...but it will deploy by just clicking ok to all the messages...weird...
...and what is freespace port 2.1...?
(heh, I was really happy `til I got this 3.3 launcher...I hate error messages...)

Thats the game reporting an error not the launcher, be sure you have an up to date game exe.

Without errors messages things would go wrong without explanation which I think would be far worse.

[RandomTiger]

Actually I believe your game exe must be out of date because I changed the code to give a friendlier message a while ago.

[cyavhn]

it`s ok...as long as it launches...latest exe is 3.5.5. ... no...?
tried for the 3.6 but can`t seem to find it...

[RandomTiger]

I think 3.6 has been delayed.
Try the exe in my sig.

[cyavhn]

exe ... or launcher ... me be nOOb... there is no exe in the sig...!
