I'm still stuck on that mission in chapter 1.

I guess i'll retry and pray. (as theres newer SCP builds now).

Maybe the problem is that your using SCP builds.  When I built the mission I was only using what came with FS2.

I'm a long time lurker on this board and Freespace fan, and I've been really enjoying your campaigns, enough to make a post

I was getting the strange crashed on chapters 2 and 3 as well, so out of curiosity I fired up the latest build of fred2 open, that does all the table debugging.

It found a lot of errors your ship and weapon tables, which it reported as errors that wouldn't stop the misson from loading, but could cause Freespace 2 to crash. You might want to download it yourself (if you haven't) and use it to debug the tables. I found tons of bugs in my own campaign with it, its very useful.

Really?  That presents an interesting opportunity.  Where can I download this latest build of FRED2 open?

Check the FRED2_OpenGL option.

So how is chapter 4 coming anyway?

I had a slight problem with backgrounds.  For some reason my computer is having a ***** of a time with new backgrounds, which meant that I had to piece together a "black hole" using a bunch of arrange nebulas.  Then I had an idea which led to making the mission way more challenging, and actually helped the story line a lot.  Needless to say the chapter 4 road block has been resolved.  ETA not long.
The good thing is that I did get some work done on chapter 5, so at least that is ahead of schedule.

I also had a crash every time I tried to choose new weapons - or actually, any weapons "down" from Prometheus S. Clicking the arrow button always caused a crash. And still causes. Guess it's because I use open (3.5.5 1_20_2004 build with thruster hybrids and so on).

[karajorma]

Have you made a new pilot for the campaign?

[Janos]

^ Yes, I did.
But the problems becomes apparent in the mission, where you have to scan the probes, and after that I have to use default weaponry, at least primary, if I want anything else than Subach/Prom combo. And therefore default ships.
****.

OK, another problem [not that I've solved even the last one]..

I made another directory, /ITDOH_3 for Chapter 3. I then copied altered tables and data from ITDOH_2 to it and installed chapter3 .vp-file, as said in the readme.txt.

However, as I try to run the mission, it accuses me of not having Scimitar.pof and MissileXX [?].pofs.

Is the problem with selecting the new weapons fixed yet?

[InfernoGod]

I have a problem with the Daedalus (sp?) fighter. If I select it in the tech room, FS2 crashes. If I try to fly it, FS2 crashes. Some help please? But nonetheless, a really cool campaign. It's got my attention (which is pretty hard to get)!

This has prompted me to drastically revise the previous chapters.  I'm going to make chapter 4 a self contained chapter, as #2 appears to be the source of most of my problems.
