oki il give it another go but its wierd i'm sure i got the SCP version I onl;y downloaded the CH4 about 2 days ago! Oh well i'l try it again see if it works!


Edit: Well i managed to get chapter 4 to work ! But the problem seems to have been with other existing mods ! Actulay the game wouldnt run unless i removed every single campaign i had instaled .

Now it seems to work but it crashes every time i try to get some info regarding the Herc MK III as well as every other new ship i get to fly in game like that stealth fighter. Also how come the Kaiser does only Lvl-6 hulldamage and lvl 5 shield damage???

I thought it was something like 10/5 or was it 9/7 cant remember exactly.


However despite these minor inconveniences the campaign is awesome so far i cant wait to finish it and move on to ch5. or pieces of it  !

Install them correctly next time then. You're enough of a regular here to know that you're seriously increasing your chances of crap like this happening if you don't install mods in their own folders. Hell even if you're new to FS2_Open you should know from retail that its a bad idea to install multiple mods at the same time unless you do it carefully.

Roger that i've learned mi lesson. Anyway thanx for the help.

oki here is another one! The last mission where you have to scan 2 ships a medical ship and a Enrynies heavy fighter at one point you get a message that says downloading new orders but instead of getting new orders you just get the same mission again! Is that a bug or is that the end of the campaign? Also how the frek do i read the fiction files?


Where can i get chapter 5 or pieces of it?? I read somewhere that part 1 or 2 was released or something like that 'm not sure!

Considering ItDOH Chapter 4, I did short testing and indeed figured out that the mod tries to add too many ships.

Code: [Select]

Warning: Too many ship classes before 'SCa Shiamak'; maximum is 130, so only the first 130 will be used
File:C:\temp\fs2_open_3_6_9.t\code\ship\Ship.cpp

------------------------------------------------------------------

...that is, after I fixed another error in the table that made the debug build crash before this error:

Code: [Select]

Warning: ITDoH4-shp.tbm(line 680:

I changed the table file like this:

Code: [Select]


...
XSTR("Nike-class corvettes, These Corvettes are the Newest ships that are being commission for Terran Fleet Operations. Constructed at the Quantum Mechanics ship yards at a rate of four per year. ", 3053)
...

The description entry lacked the dash, comma, number and closing parenthesis. Edited modular table attached.


As for solving the other problem... Well, I think I'll just find and DL the latest Inferno build posted some time ago. :sigh:

That's by design, it's the last level.  Basically the same thing happens in the end of 3 when you're patroling the jumpnode and the Vachandril (long snakelike ship) appears.  So you're working fine.  Now just waiting for next chapters   

Oh as for the fiction files, I put them here about a couple months back in .txt format I think (maybe it was doc).  I don't have them on hand right now but maybe someone who downloaded them will send them too you.  Also the fictoin files (early ones at least) are based on what the outcome of the mission was, especially in part 1 where you run from Cap and decide if you save that transport or not.

... Vachandril...

 
Don't you mean the Shiamak?

[Dan1]

Yea ok, it's been about two months since I played it last.

Or Woomeister's other super-juggernaut...
