the last Freespace 2 SCP build I was able to run was fs2_open_C06152004.exe
after that build the game crashes before the first movie plays at the start of the game, does anyone know what could cause this with more recent builds?

are you useing my builds?
for some reason my builds have not had a likeling twards the movies.
I beleive there is a comand line option for disableing movies, try that and see if it helps any.

Thanks

that must have solved it, I turned off video and it loaded fine, will the videos be able to be played in later SCP builds?

[Bobboau]

well they should be playing now, was it a build I posted?
if not try one fromRT, he's the guy who did the movie code

Im not sure who made the build that was the last SCP build that played movies on my system, I dont have the original archive of it anymore, just the exe

fs2_open_C06152004.exe


I tried the new features in the in the newest build with the enviroment and decals features, they look really nice except I havent noticed any decals show as damage when I fire at a ship, I added the blast maps in the effects foler but may have been the wrong ones for decals? do you know the correct file to add the decals features?

[Bobboau]

you need an altered table file, I don't remember were you get it from, one of the decal dev threads, but you should be able to find it if you do a search (warning: this will break multi-player as long as you have the altered table instaled)

That'll be one of WMcoolmon's builds... he always has the "c" in front of the build date.
