That damned -mod flag
Is not working again. Here is the target to my shortcut of FRED2open:

C:\Games\Freespace2\fred2_open_3_6_9.exe -fredhtl -jpgtga -mod Inferno

Where my inferno folder is named Inferno. I tried using the default INFR1 name for the folder but that didn't work either.

Anybody know what's wrong with that target and why I can't mod using Inferno ships?

Also, there is these other executables in there, such as this one called "fred2_open_3_6_10-20071007T.exe" along with it's "fs2_open_3_6_10-20071007T.exe" counterpart. I haven't used FSO in months now, as I've only now got back interested in Freespace, so can somebody tell me what that is?
Fun while it lasted.

Then bitter.

Re: That damned -mod flag
Those other executables are simply the October 7th, 2007 build of 3.6.10.

They shouldn't be doing any harm sitting in the main folder.

Wait a minute... which version of FSO is the launcher running? If it's a 3.6.10 build, the Launcher might be interfering with the -mod command.

The launcher is running on the widescreen fix 3.6.10 build. Would that be a problem?

EDIT: Nope. It didn't help to choose the 3.6.9. build in the launcher. I don't see how that would matter.

EDIT2: here are the pictures:

Re: That damned -mod flag
For some reason now, FRED is affected by the selected mod in the launcher.

Gettin' back to dodgin' lasers.

 
Re: That damned -mod flag
Only on 3.6.10 builds and up though. 3.6.9 shouldn't be affected.

Re: That damned -mod flag
That makes sense. I selected Inferno in the launcher and now it works :doubt:

Thanks anyways!

Dunno about multivoice but the FS2OGGcutscenepack.vp is exactly what the name suggests: the FS2 cutscenes in OGG Theora, packed in a nice little vp to avoid the hassle of placing all the videos to \freespace\data\movies.

Re: That damned -mod flag
multi-mission-pack.vp & multi-voice-pack.vp are the validated multiplayer mission add ons. They're fine in the main folder as they have no tables and use no data that isn't available in retail.
