Hey Raziaar, welcome to HLP. :) The 3 ISO images should be sufficient to cover the three CDs - the other individual files are all contained in the ISO images, and are more intended for people who've already got most of the stuff installed but lack one or two archives. If you burn one ISO onto one CD and install from CD1, you should be fine.

Go post in the FTP server thread Stealth, people will be real curious there. :)

Doh! you're telling me I downloaded an unnessesary 500 megabytes of files? I was downloading overnight 3 of the iso's, and 2 other files, of which those two totaled 500mb. Unfortunately i'm on a bandwith limit. So if those others aren't required if I have the iso's, at least I wont be using 1/3rd of my monthly bandwith downloading this! more like 1/5th.

Well, Silent Threat did come with a bunch of cool user-made missions, especially the Destiny of Peace mission.  Plus, it included the Seraphim, Hades, Loki, and Zeus.  Even if you don't play the campaign, those things are worth it :).

But the Silent Threat CD also included a bunch of cool supersecret stuff, like the Headz video.

Having some trouble installing all 3 iso's.

I burnt the 3 iso's, one each to a CD. cd1 installs fine, but I can't seem to direct the cd2 process to the actual CD2 I burned to continue the installation process. What do I do?


EDIT: Nevermind, copied the second and third Iso's to a directory on computer, extracting them and its working =)

EDIT 2: ARgh! iso 3 isn't installing correctly! I don't know why.

When directing the install to the last directory of files from ISO 3 it gives me this error.

Nice red dot. :doubt:

It may have to be on CD to work... Really having that much difficulty burning the ISO's to disk?

The red dot is just to block the name of the folder it was in =P

Anyways... it wont let me direct to ISO files on the cd's to install the game, only if the iso's are extracted and on my hard drive. Number 1 and 2 worked, but not 3.

Hm.

Did you burn the ISOs to 74-minute discs or 80-minute ones?

The FS2 cd-check requires some discs to be on 80-minute disks, but I'm not sure if that extends to the installation as well.

They are 80minute discs. Maybe its a corrupted file? I would want to make sure before I download 600+ megs again!

Try installing Daemon Tools. That will allow you to mount the isos as if they were in a real CD drive.

That way if your problem is caused by swapping CDs or because there was an error when you burnt the iso to the CD it shouldn't appear as you can leave the real CD1 in one drive and mount the other two ISOs at the same time.

Usually I wouldn't reccomend installing a program just to cure a software glitch but everyone who does anything with ISOs should have Daemon tools installed anyway :)

I don't actually 'have' a freespace 2 original disc. Did I misunderstand and I actually 'need' one?
