Searching root pack 'C:\fso\sparky_hi_fs2.vp' ... 0 files
Searching root pack 'C:\fso\stu_fs2.vp' ... 3 files Well this is odd. Sparky_hi should have 1337 files and stu should have 2355 files. Sounds corrupt material to me. Curiously their checksums still match.

maybe there modified ones from tbp or something

Concidering that he (apparently) has FS2 on discs, I'd dare to guess this is not the case. But, just to be sure... nagachief, you haven't by chance been messign around with The Babylon Project?

Why would Sparky_hi have leet files? 


 

There should be no need for an explanation of the 1337 status of sparky_hi.

Sorry for taking a long time to reply.

I don't even have any of the mods installed, save mediaVP.

MAJOR EDIT:

I got the original FS2 to work, but it also has no voices.

[General Battuta]

But the other sound effects are working? Odd.

Are the voice files stored in a different VP from the rest of the sound effects? I can't recall.

[Jeff Vader]

The voices are in stu. Which seems to be broken at his end. Hmm. I'd know a source where you can download the retail .vps separately but I'm slightly hesitant to post a link due to the current HLP policy concerning FreeSpace download links.I could possibly PM you a link. That way other people wouldn't see it and wouldn't be tempted to download the entire game from there without paying.

[nagachief]

The stu_fs2.vp on my Freespace 2 disk was indeed corrupted.

Now I have 99% of the speech, only rare cases where generic "ship detected" lines don't play.

I'm having this same exact issue. Full music and sound effects, but no voice whatsoever. Looking at my FS2 CDs, they're pretty scratched up, and I believe the stu_fs2.vp I'm trying to bring in off the disc is copying corrupt because of this. I hate to drag up such an old thread, but if there is still any assistance possible from here I would greatly appreciate it. I played this game some 12 years ago and the campaign voice acting is a big part of the experience for me. All of the help I've found is related to the stupid voice synthesis for mod campaigns when really all I want is to just play the original game.

Again, sorry for the old thread post stuff. I'm not much of a forum user, just a girl wanting to relive some childhood memories. Thanks for your time, regardless

If the file won't copy correctly off of your CDs, your options are likely to either

(a) try to repair the CD to make it readable -- use your search engine of choice to find techniques for doing this

(b) buy another copy

I've had success with using toothpaste + toothbrush on a scratched DVD, but I'd only suggest it as a last resort.
