Hi, I've got the HOTU version of FS2 and I've downloaded all the extra VPs from the FTP.

With those, I've got the game working just fine. Except, in-game voices, at least in the first training mission don't seem to work right. Out of every voice file, I get the first micro-second of sound and then it turns off. I don't know why this is happening. All other voice and sound works fine. I've tried changing my audio device settings in the launcher to no effect. Also tried using FS_Open. Same problem.

Hey spektre - first, welcome to HLP. Secondly, good job getting the HOTU install working (mostly!). Now, would you mind giving us a list of all the files you have in your FS2 root directory? Just to make sure you have everything - from your description I would pinpoint the problem as being with the voice audio files (i.e. not with hardware, not with audio in general), but I could be wrong.

Thanks!

Well the dir is a little messy now thanks to FS_Open but here:

Copy the two tangoA/B VPs, and the tangoA/B directories to a different directory.

Also copy everything in your data directory besides the "players" folder to another directory (it can be the same one as tangoA and tangoB, you just don't want/need FS2 to find 'em.)

Also, thank you for posting a screenie of your directory tree. Not many people do it (You're the second or third guy I know of who has) but it's very helpful, eliminates the need for asking a lot of questions.

The problem is the replacement sound files stored in 'data'.

I had this exact problem.

Open up your data file in the main FS2 file, then open data, then in each subfolder, delete all sound files.  If there are no sound files in there with the name the game needs to play, it'll use the VP's which have the proper sound files and it'll play in game.

Well it seemed like the simplest thing to do.

Done what you requested. Still not working....

[LOA--Paul]

Do you have the correct core VP?  For version 1.2?

[spektre]

I think so....I got it from the FTP.....

Try this. Open your Freespace 2 folder. Rename Data to Data-Old.
Make a new Data Folder. Copy Data-Old\Players to the new Folder.

I suspect you cleared out your sounds folder but missed voices. Even if not, swapping Data folders allows you to be certain you've cleared out all of the HotU files.

Nobody gave him a good greeting and showed him around? Come on you guys, you're better than that...

Anyway...

Welcome to HLP!

Exits are to your right and left, and flamethrowers are under your seat. Be careful, though, as they are sometimes filled with water. If this is the case, try to club someone with the non-working shotguns in the weapon closet. Also, be careful while wandering the ventilation shafts, because sometimes Carl the Shivan lurks in there. If you happen to come across him, just toss him your lunch and hope that it satisfies him. If it doesn’t… pray. In the event of an emergency, you can and will be used as a flotation device.  The Plasma rifles in the forward locker are released only under authorization of an Admin, [V] God, and/or hyperintelligent shade of the color blue. Oh, and whatever you do, don't hit on Tiara, no matter how good of an idea it might seem.

Ok....a restart fixed the problem....weird.

heh, simple solution to a difficult problem
