trying to get from ver 1.00 to 1.20 (or the latest)
hi...ok, just to save myself a little time instead of going all through this forum to find my answer, here`s the prob...I downloaded  a zip file of Freespace from the-underdogs.org site on it being recommended to me by a friend who is a big fan of the game...so I unzip the file and click the fs2.part01 and it installs to a folder FS2 in the same unzipped file...so I look in my XP add/remove program and see no mention of Freespace...now I get the impression that this Freespace is running without any registry entries, etc...correct? ...next when I click the auto update it says that the fs2.exe is different and won`t update...I tried an update to 1.1 and a manual update to 1.2 and they both say something about an old file that can/cannot(?) be found...so that`s it...I`m very impressed with this game and would like to get the latest version...maybe it`s a prob from the site I downloaded it from, although this friends recommendation should have been pretty good...anybody wanna help...?

I'd like to start off by saying :welcome:

If memory serves me correctly, which I doubt it does, the HOTU version already is v1.2. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, there is a FS2 Registry Fixer floating about, that enters [required] registry keys into the registry... Not really sure if its required though... http://alliance.sourceforge.net/files/Software/FS2RegFixer.exe

Home of the Underdogs, where you got it.

Ok, its 1.00, grumph. Isn't there an FAQ on this somewhere? Whatever. Try the registry thing and then try the update.

you dont need to. The HOTU version is 1.2 although it says 1.0 :)

Lightspeed is correct. FS2 claims to be 1.0 but is actually 1.2 in most respects. If you look at my FAQ you'll see lots of other info on how to turn the HotU version into a fully working copy of FS2.

You might also want to check out the Source Code Project forums and find out how to get an even better version of FS2 up and running.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

get the missing VPs from Fractux' FTP server, along with the AVI movies and get SCP running.







SCP is too good to miss :nod:

whatever happened to that bigger "welcome to HLP" beam with the Deimos in the background ?

I wonder if the original V staff are keeping track of the SCP.

probably not. They dont even remember something called Freespace.
