Just Another Day 1 & 2 if you like comedy.

You forgot Deus Ex Machina!

[Iron Wolf]

Derelict (rerelease) tops the list, hands down. I'd even rate it as better than the FS2 storyline, believe it or not.

where do you download that?

[Dark Hunter]

You forgot Deus Ex Machina!

No I didn't, I just didn't like Deus Ex very much. Funny at first but then kinda...... meh. 

where do you download that?

You can download that at Hades Combine.

[Dobralov]

I think I've downloaded "Transcend" and "Derelict."  I found "Into the Depths of Hell" at http://www.geocities.com/noiseball2000/itdoh.html

but the link for chapter 2 doesn't appear to work. 

[Dark Hunter]

You can get all the ITDOH chapters at Hades Combine as well. Except for chapter four I don't think they host the non-SCP versions anymore.

So I installed Derelict and Transcend, and now, when I click on the "resume campaign" option, the game closes on the load screen and I get the following message:

Error: Can't open model file <New_Hornet.pof>
File:C:\temp\fs2_open_3_6_9.t\code\Model\ModelRead.cpp
Line: 1870

Anyone know what I can do?  Do I need to nuke and pave my FS2 open files?

[Dark Hunter]

You are using all the media VP's right? The 3.6.8 media vp's? If not, get them from this thread. What that error means is that the campaigns (which were built using FSOpen) are expecting to find te upgraded Hornet Missile model, but are unable to. Try getting the media's, and if that doesn't work, check Kara's FAQ to make sure you've installed the FSopen correctly and are using the mod.ini files right.

Everything was working fine until I installed the Derelict and Transcend campaigns...I moved those folders and nuked and paved the entire FS2 install.  It's working fine now, but I wonder how things will go when I install the campaigns again.

[bizzybody]

Huh. I played this mission in FSport on FS2 retail and it went fine. In fact, I never got to shoot anything! I couldn't figure out how to target the asteroids, the Shivans didn't do much damage to the Galatea and my wingmen took out all the asteroids in the way. The Galatea just moseyed up to the gate and warped out as programmed.

How did you install them? If you're just placing the files in the main FS2 folder, that is one very definite no-no. What you do is place them inside their own folders, then use the launcher to select the mod you wish to use.

[Dobralov]

Yeah, I didn't get that memo.  I suspected as much once I destroyed the game, but since I've re-installed everything, I'll be sure to do it next time.

So far, this community has everything most web communities lack--understanding, graciousness, and a willingness to help noobs like me...thank you all!

So, in essence, yeah, I cheated.  But is it really cheating when the mission script breaks? Furthermore, I learned a few things about asteroid hunting.  I'm reasonably certain this will translate into a better sex life, but I'm still working it out.   

I have never ran into this problem before and i have played Descent Freespace NUMOROUS times. Maybe you have a beta copy of the game? I dont know sounds pretty odd. But who cares if you really cheat on an imposible screwed mission, atleast you will gain skill trying to beat it initially before you cheat. Besides, completing the game is more fun then being stuck on a mission

And the sex life thing, good luck on that. lmao

[Charismatic]

Herra, I will also try your recommendations, but not tonight.  It's bedtime, and the Galatea has devoured enough of my life for today.  Seriously, you should have heard me screaming at the computer after something like my 10th attempt:  "(CENSORED) Galatea send more than two (CENSORED) fighters to escort your (CENSORED) three mile long (CENSORED), STUPID (CENSORED).  (CENSORED) YOU, YOU (CENSORED)!!!"


Dobralov

Siggied.

[Polpolion]

Funny, when I played this mission, my copy allows the Galetea to shoot the asteroids, so I don't have to do anything

[karajorma]

Your copy of the port or were you playing on FS1?

[wtf_cl0vvn]

FS1 original lets the galatea shoot at the asteroids, but its not enough to save it. :
f----n blob turrets...*grr*

At least these have the cool...(undescribable[sic]) sound. I dont know whats so cool about it but i like the Terran Huge Turret sound in FS1 better than in FS2.



you know, i had this same problem on Failure To Communicate...the Hope never got into freaking position and either the Beta Aquilae comm station or I didnt survive...

so i ended up getting the port and that fixed the problem.

[Polpolion]

Your copy of the port or were you playing on FS1?

port; 3.0.3 or whatever the latest release was.

SCP RC7, but it worked with other builds too.
