I haven't touched FRED.

FS2 quits when I open the briefing room now since I have gone onto Derelict and I get the error that I posted above. Is there anything to fix this?

[karajorma]

How have you installed Derelict? This sounds like the kind of problem you get when you have too many mods installed in the wrong places.

[kie-san]

Yeah. I've knida started a bunch of error threads. Kinda want to tone it down . ANyways. I'm having this problem with the Derelict campaign. I uninstalled the INferno campaign because the main screen was getting annoying (lame, huh?) I've gone through a few missions and I'm the error I posted right after RED DIAMOND's 2nd post. The error pops up, FS2 quits. Now I can't get past the main screen when I click the go to mission door. It locks up and FS2 shuts down to the desktop.

[karajorma]

It's the way you're installing them that's the problem. You're running FS2_Open so there is no good reason for you to not be installing everything in it's own folder and thereby avoid these problems.

Don't put anything in the main FS2 folder or Freespace2\Data. The only reason for ever doing that now is if you're using something like the high poly Mjolnir and can't wait for it to be included in a media.vp.

Run all mods using the -mod option. That's what it's there for.

Where do you have derelict installed?

[kie-san]

ah......

so do I put mods & campaigns in C:\Games\"new folder here"
or C:\Games\Freespace2\"new folder here"?

[redsniper]

in the Freespace2 folder

[kie-san]

what are the files installed by the derelict installer becuase I can choose where I install the files.

[karajorma]

Anything ending in .vp that isn't one of these files needs to move

# Anything starting with mv_
# root_fs2.vp
# sparky_fs2.vp
# sparky_hi_fs2.vp
# stu_fs2.vp
# tango1_fs2.vp
# tango2_fs2.vp
# tango3_fs2.vp
# smarty_fs2.vp
# warble_fs2.vp

Then check your Data folder for files or better yet copy the entire thing to the Derelict folder you created and then copy Freddocs and Players back into a new Freespace2\Data folder.

ANother problem.....THe "Advancment of Learning" level always fails me even though I get the ships safely to the destination.

[Nuclear1]

All of the ships? You aren't using cheats, are you? IIRC, very few of the convoys ships actually make it; the Einstein, Endeavour, and a couple of others go down, and the Meridian, Haulian, and Arbiter make it to the station.

[kie-san]

nevermind. when the enemy wings destroyed the einstein, they were able to get to the escape pods really quickly all of the times. PAst it now.
