Could some one convert this mission http://www.sectorgame.com/goober/ross128.html it is goober's Ross 128 mission.

Convert to what? FS2?

To be honest even if it wasn't his mission I'd say that Goober is the most qualified to do that anyway

[Hippo]

Goober had trouble converting it on his own. He would have to re-build the entire thing from scratch...

[Goober5000]

Hehe.

Converting it is on my list of stuff to do, but I want to do two things first:
1) Roll out the Port v3.0
2) Fix the FRED converter (it takes forever)

EDIT: Hippo, I don't recall having trouble converting it, other than the fact that it takes nearly an hour.

hell yeah, although it takes longer for me. I was converting that Ross 128 mission, then i had to leave for about an hour and a half, and when i came back, it wasn't even done, and FRED_Open had frozen.

[JoeLo]

Hmmm as long as its on your list thats cool. I can't get it to work with my copy of freespace the game crashes every time. Is there something special you have to do other than unzip the VP into the main directory?

[Hippo]

strange... I thought there was some weird effect with send-message and nearly every other event not being recognised... Or maybe that was the FS1 version...

[Goober5000]

That's all you have to do.

I'm wondering if it crashes due to a conflict between the regular FS1 and the FS1 OEM versions.

[Hippo]

possibly, but then why did the FoW set I tested work?

[Cobra]

or it could be a misuse of the vp. i didn't just plop the vp in, i just put the files in their proper folders.

of course, Goob's idea is good, too.

[Goober5000]

Okay, try this, just to see if it works.  Plop the VP in the main directory, and then put this file in the tables directory.  Then try the mission again.

[Hippo]

My table! *takes it back*

[Taristin]

*watches another magically reappear*

[Hippo]

Hm... I'll take two

[Taristin]

haha. must be cookie based.

[Charismatic]

What is this FRED_Open converter thingy?

[Trivial Psychic]

I took a look through the Ross128 pack some time ago, and noticed that it included another model... a planet model I think.  Would the  model need to be converted any for it to be compatible with FS2?

[Goober5000]

Yes, but we're not using it with FS2 at the moment.

[JoeLo]

I still get this error
