Fine by me. But considering his habit of going off on a rant about every little thing without even having all the facts in his posession he can't be long for this world. Can you imagine him in RL?

THIS TRAFFIC LIGHT IS RED HOW ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO CROSSS THE ROAD!!!

THIS DOOR IS CLOSED! HOW ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO GET INTO THE BUILDING!

I don't know if this is an error in the doc or what I'm doing but when I use the -mod switch it doesn't look in #/Players for the pilot file but in #/Data/Players.

In fact all my stuff has to be in #/Data for it to work.

Everything should go in freespace2dir/mymod/. Well... so Ive been told.

They did not remove the player entry delay.  They removed a bug in the player entry delay.

That's what I thought right up until I tried it.

 I found it couldn't find my pilot files when I ran with the -mod switch and when I quit I noticed that a new folder called data had appeared in the drawer belonging to the mod. It also created a player folder inside the data folder and put the pilot file in that.

I wouldn't bother deleting the post. Several people have already quoted it in full. Just leave it as a reminder to check what you're talking about before you go off on a rant about something.

bottomfan:

[Anaz]

hmm...mebby it's just me, but shouldn't you release the readme at the same time as the thing it reads for? (unless there is a 3.6 exe that I missed...)

[bottomfan]

Analazon: Well yes, but since this is a open project there is no real need to hold it back...

And no, you havent missed it, cus it aint out yet.

[Inquisitor]

You want to email me an updated copy bf?

And Ana: no, actually, since we didn't have a consolodated readme that everyone liked, this was useful regardless of whether 3.6 is out

[bottomfan]

sent.

[Rampage]

I would like to make an addition to the readme, if possible:

*Bare-Bones Requirement(s) [Video Only]*
8MB Video Card with Hardware Acceleration

I use a 8MB card and FS2 runs smoothly, if I disable all background programs and free up to 30% of memory.

Hi all,

Please excuse a newbe question as I am just catching up to this SCP stuff.  I assume that this new .exe and its associated new features only apply to new mods that are specifically written for it?  The old FS2 campaign would see no benifits?  If so, what new mods have been written to support this?  Especially ones that can co-exist with the old original FS2 Campaign.

Thank,
William

[Flaser]

Many features - most importantly glow-maps and the graphics support was created for the original campaing, so
YES; the original benefits from SCP as well.

The original fs2 campaign can use the glowmaps, OpenGL support, the warp model, Dumbfire Lead Indicator, Wireframe HUD Target Box. (I've probably missed plenty)

As for mods using the new features, The Lightning Marshall release 3 uses the new movie playing code to bring stunning cutscenes to the campaign. Many of the other mods are simply updating thier stories/missions as new applicable features appear.

[bottomfan]

I'l add compability notes to each new feature.

Eddit: IF YOU NEED EVIDENCE GO LOOK! NOW IT'LL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SET UP A MISSION WHERE THE PLAYER ENTERS A BATTLE IN MOTION! NICE JOBS U LOOSERS!

STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPS! IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT!

Oh, if you want to start a mission where the player is in motion, go to Alpha 1's properties. Change "Initial Velocity" to whatever you want. Voila!

Oh, and the FS2 campaign works fine for me.

Now excuse me while I report you to the authorities.
