I'm trying to do it in the snatches of free time I have, but it's not easy when you're *supposed* to be revising for your final school exams.
There isn't all that much left to do, so hopefully I will get it all done well before the exams start. If that begins to look unlikely, I'll split the pack and release the parts that are currently complete, and finish the rest (and more) afterwards.

I could watch that forever.

Hm.

Anyone else having FRED errors when trying to use Strat's Orion?

[StratComm]

What kind o' Fred error?  It's been workin' fine for me.  I have been getting FRED errors, but those have been because of DaBrain's 3d shockwave tables.

[Galemp]

To be sure, it seems that whene'er I be placing one, or changing another model to th'Orion, that Fred crashes with nary a sound. 'Tis most odd, as th'previous model worked jes fine, and in game it's a fine lookin' dame.

[StratComm]

That is indeed odd.  Anyone else seeing this?

[Spicious]

It seems to be working fine in Fred for me, although it takes a while for it to show up the first time.

[StratComm]

Galemp and I figured it out.  Some people absolutely need -fredhtl for this to work.

I realize nobody's posted here in a while, but can this also be used with FSPort?

Assuming you're running the port under FS Open, then of course you can.

[Galemp]

Sure. Actually the Port's doing pretty well; we have an Orion and a Fenris/Leviathan, an Aten and a Faustus, and a Hercules all hi-polied. There's VAs Lucifer nearing completion and a Cain/Lilith that's pretty far along (don't know whose it is though.) The Ursa's also in the works.

I hear TrashMan's got a Demon on the way and StratComm said he's try on the Typhon. After that there's still the Arcadia and Hades...
On second thought, maybe we aren't doing that well.

[CaptJosh]

I most deffinitely am running FS Port under FS2O. I wouldn't dream of trying it with retail. Not modular enough. To easy to screw that up.

Anyway, one last question. Might sound like a dumb question, but better to ask a seemingly dumb question now and get an answer than to do this wrong. Do I need this in the models folder for the FS Port files as well as the FS2 models folder? Or will it work with it just in the FS2 one?

[Galemp]

It'll work in the FS2 models folder. There's no new Orion model in the Port VPs.

speaking of which. I just spent ten hours playtesting Silent Threat: Reborn and my eyes are farking killing me. I think I'll go to bed now. >_<

[CaptJosh]

That's as bad as one of my old C&C: Red Alert sessions...

[CaptJosh]

Ok, problem. Playing FS Port, when I saw the Galatae, in that asteroid field escort mission, it showed up incomplete. I could see space through sections of it, even though I couldn't fly through those sections. Eithere I got an incomplete set of files in the archive or I installed the model files incorrectly.

[Galemp]

Make sure you have the Galatea nameplate and the getile1 texture.

[StratComm]

The Galatea nameplate should be in the FS2 vps.  The getile1 texture is probably what's missing, but it's in the same archive as the Galatea model.

[CaptJosh]

I feel like an idiot. I forgot that dds files go in the effects dir. I hope I have all the rest of the files in the right place. There wasn't a readme with the archive.

[StratComm]

DDS files being used as maps belong in the maps folder.  Though they will not work elsewhere (and I'm honestly suprised that they work out of effects).

[CaptJosh]

Dunno. I'm trying it out again with the files in the maps dir. Maybe it'll look different that way.
