Hello all. First its been like 10years since I played FS1 and I dl the game couple a days ago. My disc misplaced who knows.

Version is Conflict:FreeSpace full with ST and 1.6 patch(or its 1.06 nvm)

Last time I played I was still a kiddo so I didn't do all the medals and played on easy or something but now as a ex CSpro I started playing on insane and chased all the medals. Despite replaying missions its still allot of fun.

Back to the issue. Mission 6 paving the way, escorting Galatea thru asteroids as I remember its a easy one but no. She sits after finishing waypoint and she gets below 50 so I replayed like 15 times cuz i believed its me doing something wrong. So after like 5 hours of crazy asteroid hunting I got sick of it and tried to search online if someone had a similar problem. I found this forum and I got allot of info. I know its stuck coz of some timer in the mission waypoint and tried like one guy with cheats and infinite ammo. First time I used them I guess I enabled some other cheat cuz I passed the mission and it didn't allowed accept, told me I was a dam Cheater .

For the next 20 times I played with ammo and without ammo she was still sitting there for like 30-40 mins!!! and then guess what? Did She made the JUMP? NO! She gets blown.

I tried using FRED but I can't find where are the DAMN missions located so I think maybe I don't have the right version or something. Been reading allot of stuff here about so I could change that bloody timer. But I'm no programmer and its all nuclear fusion to me ( SO I REALY NEED HELP!!!

What to do, what to do. Do I have the version that can't be edited? Do I need to dl some other one. I sow FS2 open and those nice looking mods that enable playing fs1 but I don't want to play it if its not same as fs1 full.

ATM I'm dl-ing FS2 Full so I guess I should stop it and dl something else?

Its new Year in Eu in like 5 hours so I'll prepare for party and I will probably check this in 1 or 2 days so Happy New year guys and answer please, give me one nice present hehe... bb

Did I understand correctly that  you've downloaded FS1? Cool, but you might want to try FSO, and play FSPort with it, which is basically FS1, but with the FSO engine and fantasstic graphical enhancements. I've played it and have never had that issue. Check Turey's FSO Installer (link in my signature) to get FreeSpace 2, FreeSpace Open and FSPort.

[colecampbell666]

That mission should work in retail, perhaps the version you downloaded was corrupt.

FSO is really the way to go, with tons of graphical and gameplay improvements.

The missions are in the .vp files (specifically, root.vp). They are archives, basically. You'll need a program like VPView to extract stuff from them.

FS2 Full so I guess I should stop it and dl something else?

I would advise against that.

Like Lobo said, DL FS2, then get the FSOpen engine the SCP guys here have been developing. You can actually then download FS1 as an add-on of sorts, so no need for two different programs.

I know all the info we give around here can be a tad overwhelming at first, but if you'll just bear with us, I think you'll find we are quite helpful.

[jr2]

Eh, since you have the FS1 and FS2 discs (or their images ), use the walkthrough in my sig, to save you download time.

[hybaa]

Tnx guys

I did that and its grate. Graphics is awesome. Followed Ur instructions to the latter tnx

Not only dose it work, but galatea guns are operational which would probably be a bad mark for me before, but after a previous AGONY I'll have to say BIG TNX to the guy who made them work hehe.

Tnx for the welcome I figured out how to use Vpview and I allready DL it...

To late , I downloaded the hole game via installer and it didn't take to long, guess connection is good. but anyway tnx.

And now I have another problem (just complaining). Like I sad in first post I'm chasing all the medals and admiral rank. Advanced training #2 has a little voice error cuz its not changing pages in briefing. Thats not the problem of course but there's a problem when I start the mission. I don't have Interceptors so I cant pass it and get upgraded wings(I know, its a fetish ). Been reading here the post one guy made that has the same problem. Now I can simply skip, but my stubbornness prevents me . I used VPview to access that mission via FRED. But FRED one can't open it and FRED2 that comes with the instaler cant place FS1 ships and weapons or its just me. Need a little help here.
Can I do it like this, and by doing that I don't mess up the game. All the info is appreciated.

Once again thx guys and happy new year

That problem is known to us all. Some bug in the mission. You can download a fixed version behind the Useful Stuff link in my signature.

Also, I haven't FREDed, but I think that if you want to add FS1 ships (or FSPort ships), you need to do some command line fiddling to make FRED2_Open use the Port as well. If FREDders are reading this, could I get a confirmation?

[hybaa]

Ok, I've downloaded the file and extracted in FSport folder. But the mission is still the same. Do I need to replace the file in trainings.Vp with the one I dl-ed or something else ?

[karajorma]

Never EVER replace files in the VPs.

Stick the file in the Data\Missions folder corresponding to the folder where the VP is. So a VP in Freespace2\FSPort needs to have the mission file in Freespace2\FSPort\Data\Missions.

[Jeff Vader]

Ok, I've downloaded the file and extracted in FSport folder. But the mission is still the same. Do I need to replace the file in trainings.Vp with the one I dl-ed or something else ?

Basically, if you have the 00-fixedadvtraining.vp in your fsport folder, the mission should work. But let's try this again. Download this and place it in \fsport\data\missions. Create the folder, since it doesn't exist on your computer yet.

[hybaa]

I did what u told me and still the mission os not fixed. Extracted 00-fixedadvtraining.vp in created missions folder in fsport/data/missions. It dosen't work still

[Koth]

That fix doesn't work for everyone from what I have heard.

[Jeff Vader]

It should work. That's all I can say. It works for me just fine. Both options work for me, having the mission file in \fsport\data\missions or having the vp in the fsport folder. It works. I really have no idea what's wrong at your end. Well, if all else fails, you can always skip the mission. It's just a training mission after all. They tell you how to use shields and shoot aspect seeking missiles, but nothing too important.

[hybaa]

Well thx, and sry for all the trouble. I guess I'll just skip it. I wanted to play cuz u get the upgraded wings in the medal box not cuz of the training info ((

Nvm interceptors suck anyway

[Jeff Vader]

Nvm interceptors suck anyway

What? Herecy! The Interceptor is the single most powerful missile in the game. Ok, maybe there are other missiles that inflict more damage but the Interceptor is the only one worth using against, say, Dragons. And compared to the dumbfires you get first... *shrug*

[Dark Hunter]

The dumbfires are actually useful, it's the heat-seekers (MX-50) that are utter crap.

[Jeff Vader]

Ah, yes. Pardon my mistake. I also fancy the dumbfires, too. I meant to say that the heatseekers suck, since the only thing you can hit with them is a stationary object, and even then it's kind of tricky.

If you're still playing the port you can simply get it from the 3rd FS2 training mission instead.
