Have I sad that FSO makes the pilot file corrupt?

Same here. I have not said I know FSO better than you. You obviously know the engine better. I just pointed out that I am not changing my method of switching mods.
The 'FSO quits when weapon icon does not exits' and the 'How I change mods' things have no chemistry between each other.

My first thing would be to have a look at this -mod parameter and see how FSO works then.

dunno, it could very well be that the no icon thing is caused by FSO not findinf the correct file because you prevent it by turning your files into a mess.

and you said FSO was unreliable, and all i said that it was because you made a mess of everything. that, and TC is getting on my nerves.

TopAce:

kasperl's right - mixing your files can have that very effect - that is why mod is there to keep the filesystem clean and prevent cross contaimination that could and will cause crashing.

You're blaiming the SCP and us for crashes that you're expieriencing because of your doing, and you're being egocentric and saying you know you're right and you're going to leave it how it is even though we're telling you that's oging to cause problems - and

it has caused problems.

Until such as time as you actually decide to follow our advice i'm not listening to any requests from you -

i will personally go into mantis and close any bug reports you issue because I know we cannot trust them due to your corrupted FS filesystem

You know i refused to participate in the SCP until it reached a certain state of stability

Are they puttting some kind of special noob juice in the water today?

TopAce. Now that FRED also recognises the -mod parameter it's silly to continue that way. It will cause you all sorts of problems and what's more it was never a sensible way to do things even before the SCP came along.

My FAQ explained ages ago that the way to install multiple mods on FS2 was to swap folders. Swapping tables is an inherantly slower way of doing things and also leads to instability like Kazan and Kasperl are saying.

If for some strange self defeating reason you refuse to use the -mod switch at least do the sensible thing and swap folders like I stated.

(I've just noticed that now that I've joined in the KKK {Kazan, Kasperl, Karajorma}are telling him it's the wrong way of doing things

)

Where's Kalfireth in all this?

I know. But since I'm coloured and therefore never going to be a member I can get away with it

Kazan · **Reply #28 on:** April 13, 2004, 03:07:55 pm

ok.. then i don't care then -- i'm just really sensative about people making any statement that could "color me racist"

I fully understand which is why I made very sure I explained the joke

The batch files are online at
http://webs.sinectis.com.ar/dsusman/
There you will find a bat file (Windoze) and a sh file (Linux).

You must place the batch file in the new directory where you'll place the mod.

karajorma · **Reply #31 on:** April 13, 2004, 05:07:00 pm

That's not a bad way of doing it

I simply made a copy of my data folders, emptied them and then copied that whenever I needed new folders. This is a little nicer though. I may have to nick this and added to the FAQ/Wiki

mrduckman · **Reply #32 on:** April 13, 2004, 09:41:19 pm

Go ahead. Those files should be hosted elsewhere anyway. I've a 6Mb quota and I may remove them any day.

I'll do you one better. I have folders called data_TVWP, data_FSPort, data_DEM, and data. Whenever I want to play a new mod I simply rename the appropriate data folders.

It is pity that [V] FreeSpace doesn't crash with all the files I have. So in a field of view, FSO is a backspace considered to [V] FreeSpace. High-poly model support: OK, shinemaps, HTL and other graphical tricks : OK. But graphical quality is secondary at me.
I guess we should stop this here. I keep my opinion myself, even after you do not listen to me. And feel free to close/erase all my bug reports in the Mantis(I didn't make any

).
And I tested this so-called -mod parameter. All the missions were displayed in the mission list, except for those I placed in the REAL mod directory(or in Windows language: folder).

TopAce: You didn't set it up correctly then - ESAD N00B

that folder name is a little long - try trimming it to jsut RR - fs2 does have internal path size limits

You didn't recognise the error, do you? Same here, I have just recognised why the missions are not listed.
There is the campaign file.

Sorry, I was stupid.
But I am certain that the crash bug when a weapon has no icon persists.

[EDIT] But other missions which do not belong to RR are still listed despite they are in the root data folder. Maybe this one can be blocked if I do the same dir structure for both Star Wars Conversion and ITHOV.
