For example these:

• Ship wireframes are not displayed
• Jump nodes went to holiday.
• Connected waypoints are not connected by at line.
• Nebula and planet background images are not visible.

and the known problem with the briefing icons.

Now that you mentioned that fred2_open supports it, we double checked and it seems some bg effects were missing pcx version. even though jpg or tga version was in place, that caused the entries not to show up.

[Kazan]

A) taylors on it
B) you need to jupe node model -- but this need is caused by the same reason A doesn't work
C) that doesn't work for the same reason A doesn't
D) taylors on it

basically those are all manifestations of _one_ bug

Make a shortcut to FRED and right click on it. Choose properties and then in the Target box type -mod Port.



 

Uhhh... Thanks

What do you know the background shows now

[TopAce]

Can you do anything to fix the known briefing icon bug?

[karajorma]

Taylor has already said he's working on that one too.

[Gloriano]

Good work guys

[Fury]

Yes, very good work.
TBP team is anxiously waiting for fixed version of fred2_open.

[SadisticSid]

As are we at Inferno.

I'm waiting for Nav-point-able FRED2 that doesn't refuse to start... (As for help towards finding a bug, that really IS the only assistance I can provide - it loads, then before the window displays - there's at least a session at the activity-bar (ported from Swedish) - boom. Debug or End session-dialogue. Tell me it isn't related to my Catalysts...)

silent warrior: READ THE FSCKING INSTRUCTIONMS

commandline option required: "-fredhtl"

[Silent Warrior]

Inserting commandline...

[Lightspeed]

1) I have not read all three pages, so whack me if i'm doing something totally wrong.

But this build seems not to "fix" anything but break FRED completely. FRED does not draw any outlines anymore, and will crash immediately when you enter the background settings without "-fredhtl". If you HAVE "-fredhtl" in the command line, it will not crash when you go to the background editor, but will crash as soon as you actually *add* a background picture. Nifty.

If you have any advice or fixes, please let me know

[Kazan]

rotfl lightspeed -- "broke fred completely" -- no.. we uncompletely broke fred

we couldn't even get fred to load a mission without crashing _period_ for about two weeks


as for the bugs you're talking about -- taylor's on them

[Forinec]

I can use the FRED2_open_r that came with 3.6 just fine. Should I be experiencing any problems that I'm not aware of?

Oh, I didn't know it was THAT bad. I've been using fred2_open_c04282004.exe for the last months, and even though it has it's little problems it's generally usable. ('cept for briefings)

[Kazan]

Forinec: missing features up the arse

[Singh]

gives me a strange error: special ship out of range for "alpha"

[Starman01]

Hey,

first off all, don't kill me asking for it, but I'm just curious how
the progress is going.

I want to start building our autopilot-missions, but it is currently
a little hard with this build. I work parrallel with an older build, and
use yours just do add the autopilot SEXP, but still it's a little annoying.

So any progress yet on the position-lines, briefing icons and these
sort of waypoints ? It's a little hard to work with this,( there are
actually two ships hidden behind this blue giant) itget's bigger, the
more I zoom out)

Thanks for the info.

[Solatar]

I know I did something to make it smaller...I think if you add it while zoomed in real close, then un-select it an zoom away it stays small or invisible. Can't remember though.
