Re: Freespace1, Orion ships not warping in!
Can you try playing with a regular build? Or does that crash for you?

Not quite sure what you mean by "regular build", but, if you mean FSport v3.2, then yes, I can play the mission fine.
How did I miss Freespace the first time round?!

Re: Freespace1, Orion ships not warping in!
There are two kinds of builds for FSO. Debug builds, which generate logs, and regular builds, which are meant for playing. They can be distinguished by their filenames, regular builds are named (for example) fs2_open_3_6_12r_INF_SSE2.exe, while debug builds have a "d" in place of the "r". Unless you are modding or bughunting, you should stick to regular builds.

I think the debug build name format should be changed to DEBUG(rest as before).  :nervous:

I don't think there is enough room in the file name for DEBUG.  Remember 31 character limit and I think that goes for exes as well. 
No-one ever listens to Zathras. Quite mad, they say. It is good that Zathras does not mind. He's even grown to like it. Oh yes. -Zathras

GRUMP.

Maybe once we get INF pulled from the filenames?

Re: Freespace1, Orion ships not warping in!
Ok....does that mean that I was using the wrong build? Is that why the game was crashing? What build should I use If I want to us FSport? I was using FSport mediaVPs V3.2

Also, could I use FSport for this mission, and then switch back to FSport mediaVPs V3.2 for the rest of the game?

Re: Freespace1, Orion ships not warping in!
Debug builds should only be used if the regular build keeps crashing, and you need to find out why.

And yes, you can do that.

The 31 character limit applies only to files loaded by the game.  (And I think it further applies only to files stored in .vps.)  I'm pretty sure the game won't try to load its own executable, so a long file name should be safe.

Thanks for aqll the help guys, I got past that mission and started using FSport mediaVPs V3.2 again. I still get the odd warning here and there, but the game plays and looks fine. :P
