Dude that was hands down the funniest FS2 campaign ever! One of my favorites too.

LOL! I'm going to download that.

Wow, new folks! Welcome to HLP, Cniinc and Arculis.

Where do your nicks come from? Hope you find your stay helpful and long.

Hey, this question is for the Freespace 1 port. Can any of the missions and mods made for FS1 be run in the fs1 port? Case in point: Fortunes of War by Goober. It isn't finished, but when it's done, is it usable in fs2? There are mods to FS1 within Fortunes of War, so when it's done, will it run in the FS1 port to FS2?

Cniinc · **Reply #24 on:** March 14, 2004, 02:26:45 am

1/20/04 is the latest build of fs2_open, right?

karajorma · **Reply #25 on:** March 14, 2004, 02:36:06 am

Not by a long way Cniinc. Check the SCP recent builds forum for about 5 builds newer than that one

As for FS1 mods they don't run on FS2 but apparently fromwhat I hear porting them isn't too extensive a problem so the new FS1 campaigns like Goobers and Hippos will probably get ported.

Well, FYI, Cniinc is short for CinEye_Inc (say "cniinc" slowly). That is because i like movies, and like to analyze directing (though I am by no means good at it

), so i like to say that I have a "cinematic Eye." (of course, I got that name itself with the MSN Gaming Zone's random name generator, but it fit). "Cinematic Eye" shortened to CinEye, and I like Business, so it's incorporated. CinEye_Inc. And that's shortened to a word that can be read forwards or backwards, Cniinc. woof.

That's quite a story. Woof.

Sort of. Porting FS1 missions to FS2 isn't very hard, but mods are slightly different so they need to be updated. On the other hand, the icculus guys have reengineered their version of fs2_open to be compatible with FS1 stuff, so you might see that in the SCP in the future.

Cniinc · **Reply #29 on:** March 20, 2004, 08:00:00 pm

OK, so i've downloaded the build of fs2_open and launcher 4. Do I put these all in the FS2 folder or in their own folders each?

Cniinc · **Reply #30 on:** March 21, 2004, 01:30:59 am

Yeah, I got my answer to that last question. However, i'd like to point out a problem, in the form of a picture. I took this pic playing Russel's KICK@$$ mod Homesick, but it happens for whatever I play.

(Did it come up?)
It's not supposed to do that white outline thing, right?

And does Homesick have its own voice animations, because Alpha 3 is GREAT!

You need a image hoster to post picture although you have the right idea on how to post them

click the link under my name, go to the SCP section, and find a complete, very recently updated guide on insalling FSO.

Hey, can fs2_open be run withoug media.vp? i'm having a big problem with the updated graphics, because if you look at something from one angle, it's stark white and without any skin, and then fly around it a little, and you get it to work a little. It kills the immersion, you know?

StratComm · **Reply #34 on:** April 13, 2004, 08:05:14 pm

That sounds bugish, though it also sounds like you aren't using all of the features the VP takes advantage of. I'd be 99.9% sure it isn't the media vp that's causing the problem, it's most likely something in your setup that hasn't been completely fixed.

It's a bug. Which version of FS2_Open are you using?

Until you fix the problem though you can run FS22_Open without the media.vp. It's completely optional.

kasperl · **Reply #36 on:** April 14, 2004, 02:36:19 am

it might be a good idea to read the scp manual

[scp][/scp]

after that, please post the build you are using and the specs of your computer.

Setekh · **Reply #37 on:** April 14, 2004, 09:01:46 am

That's a bug with its rendering of specular highlights. You definitely don't need the media.vp.

Click my NTV Avatar - it should be fairly simple to grab it from the site.

Cniinc · **Reply #39 on:** April 14, 2004, 05:35:49 pm

i'm using the 1/20/2004 build, because i was told it was more stable. I have an old computer, with the

ATI Rage Fury card (back when radeon was probably just coming out if at all)
1.2 ghz CPU athlon
640 mb sdram
and some other stuff.
Is there something else you'd like me to include?
