Crash with FS2open on 2nd mission after training(freespace 1)
on: May 04, 2013, 06:41:50 pm
Okay so, I am new to FSopen. I didn't even know this existed. and I've been a MASSIVE fan of all the descent, and freespace games since descent 1 was released. And yes, I am old enough to have bought every game when they were all on the shelves.

That said, I just bought/installed freespace and freespace 2 on Good old Games.

I then followed the instructions listed here:http://joshmccarty.com/2011/08/play-an-enhanced-version-of-descent-freespace-2-with-fs2open/

I've installed every option that the freespace open installer can do (The works:Absolutely everything), and setup the launcer for fs2open as what I believe to be correct (all features on).

It crashes while trying to load the second mission after training (Eve of Destruction), with this error:

any ideas?

Sorry, the installer is currently broken, a new one should be ready "soon".  In the meantime please try to install using the guides linked at the top of the page under "Installing FreeSpace Open".

It it still doesn't work after doing that, please post a fs2_open.log (see my sig for a link).

What you have there is a harmless, nonfatal warning (i.e., not a crash) that you can ignore by clicking "no." It appears only if you use a debug build, which you should not use unless you have a reason to use it (for example, to create a debug log).

Also, the FreeSpace Port doesn't work properly in 3.7 RC1. Instead, use 3.6.18 or the most recent nightly build. It should work properly in 3.7 RC2 (which isn't available yet), though.

And, yeah, don't use that installer. That statement cannot be stressed enough.

If I can ask, where did you see a recommendation to use the installer?  If there's still an information source out there saying that it's the way to go, we should really find it and correct it.

Am I the only one whose biggest problem with that blog post was that he kept referring to it as "Descent FreeSpace 2"?

Okay. So. Thanks for the help guys.

Currently, The game is running fine after NOT using the debugging build, minus a few glitches here or there. mostly with wingman commands, sometimes they ignore what I tell them to do. And I'm still using the 3.7 build....I guess until it major-crashes I'll keep using it, unless you guys don't suggest that?

Well I used that installer because I ORIGINALLY searched google for "Descent Freespace Texture" and one of the first links was to that blogs post, and introduced me to FS2open.

So I went with his suggestions as far as what to use to install. The game looks GREAT right now however...

Also, the game IS Descent: Freespace, isn't it?

The first game was "Descent: FreeSpace – The Great War" or "Conflict: FreeSpace – The Great War", depending on your country. This was because there was already a compression utility called "Freespace" on the market. They had to add something to the name to avoid legal issues and with Volition's previous Descent series of space shooter games being popular, it was used to gain some attention. Dunno who came up with "Conflict" or why, but that's what it was called at least here.

The second game was "FreeSpace 2". Nothing more, nothing less.

Well, if you use FSPort with the current 3.7 build, you will miss out on a bunch of enhancements, such as the FS1 HUD and the FS1 soundtrack. Therefore, when you play FSPort, I strongly recommend you do not play it with the 3.7 build until RC2 is released.

Yarn, As I am playing Freespace (1) now, it has the correct soundtrack and the correct HUD...what are you referring to that I'm 'missing'?

Check out this video of the first mission to see what I mean (skip to 2:44 if it starts at the beginning). The HUD (the center area, specifically) and music that you're getting should be similar to what's in that video. They should not be closer to what's in this video.

Actually, it's possible that you are getting the correct HUD, but if you're using the current 3.7 build to play FSPort (which is the port of FreeSpace 1 ported to FreeSpace 2, so if you are playing FS1 in FreeSpace Open, you are playing FSPort), you won't get the correct music, even if it doesn't sound wrong.

Sorry for the late reply, been busy playing FS1 :) Yeah I went back to the older 3.6 version, and the music went back to the origional FS1 score. However, the HUD was always the FS1 version...no matter, it works now - was because I was using the debug version (DOH).

Anyways, this port of FS1/2 is amazing, I LOVE the details, looks pretty much like a modern game, and I'm enjoying playing through one of my favorite childhood games again! w00t!
