Need some help with campaigns
Hello,
I cant seem to get the campaigns to work correctly.
I downloaded, burned and installed fs2 retail that worked fine.
I then followed the instructions here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,42854.0.html to get all the SCP and campaign stuff installed.

now i use the launcher and select derelict under the mod tab. Get the description etc.

But when i go into the campaign room the only thing in the list is the main fs2 campaign.

The only campaign i did get running was homesick and i did this by moving the homesick.vp out of \freespace2\homesick into \freespace2. It then showed up in my campaign room.  This didnt work for derelict or any of the others so far.

I also got fsport working after turning on the -loadallweps switch as before that it was spewing alot of errors on campaign start and then closing.

I searched the forums and wiki for some help but have not turned up anything yet.  I am probably missing something trivial but your help is greatly appreciated none the less.

Re: Need some help with campaigns
Put the homesick VP back where you found it and select the debug build using the browse button at the top of the launcher.

Once you've run the game and verified that the campaign isn't available in the campaign room quit out and go to Freespace2\Data. You'll find a file called FS2_Open.log. Post the first 30 or so lines from there onto here.

Basically I want everything up until this line

I can tell you why Derelict isn't working. You're missing DerelictSCP.vp The ones you do have are just the voice acting for the campaign.
