It's not a 64-bit build. But according to what I've read, it should run faster on an A64 as well.

Lol. This won't work with a TNT2, will it?

I noticed something weird when I was playing Blaise Russel's Derelect. There was a mission that had the Ra Vasudan escape pods in it and in the briefing of that mission, I clicked the icon, it popped up, and I noticed something funny. I look at the windows on the Ra model and I saw a bunch of Vasudan faces on it. Was it there in retail or is it an SCP addition?

Yes, the Vasudan textures on the Ra were there from retail, and even from FS1, for that matter. If you take a closer look, you'll notice the Vasudan at the rear window is mooning you.

what the hell? i never saw anything like that...

Also, I ran into some weird bugs in Derelect. On the mission where the Cypher is disabled and you have to let the Minos dock with it, the Aeshma's textures (its red animated glowmaps) were completely gone, resulting in a completely grey Aeshma. Then in the next mission, the glowmaps on the Aeshma were back but then the Taurvi was invisible and its shots couldn't impact its hull and only secondaries could hurt them. Then in the next mission, it was back to normal. What the heck? I made no changes and it just did this on some missions. Maybe a problem with 3.6.7 or Derelect?

i don't know about the invisible model one, but check your launcher and see if Specular, Glowmaps, and 32-bit textures are enabled. that should solve your problem if they're not activated.

General Freak: I don't think so. IIRC TNT2 is an old card.

(Longest post i've ever made. )

Missing textures are almost always caused by lacking -jpgtga.  However, the problem as described sounds more like a max_images limit exceeded than anything else.  High Max, does the problem persist if you restart Freespace?

any chance at one?

[StratComm]

That seems to tell me that you did not quit Freespace and restart, but that may not even be necessary.  It may just be your system being unable to cope with all of the shivan animated glows.

First, don't assume that problems in the demo will carry over into the final release.  Errors like that can and will be fixed by any campaign that is still in development.

However, anything refering to weapons.tbl or ships.tbl is a table parsing error that's really been wrong as long as whatever feature the table is using has been around, FSO just complains about them louder now.

[Evo-Lightning]

umm anyone have a fix for glowmaps malfunction?
All the ships in game are black except when light shines directly on and windows and such are always lit.

*Edit* btw, went back to 3.6.5 OGL till my full version download is done

Not planning on shelling out the $$$ for XP-64, so pretty much no.

That can be fixed by using anyting later than 3.6.5. I had that exact same problem on that build.

therein lies the problem...that's the only build that OGL works on for my HotU version (till MP reopens his server)...is there no other way?

EDIT: http://www.sumotorrent.com/files_15844.html is the working link now.

http://www.mininova.org/cat-list/3/seeds/3   This should take you to page 3, if not then just scroll to the bottom and change to 3.  If it's not listed there anymore, maybe it's now on a different page.  Try clicking different pages, and using CTRL+F on your keyboard to search for Freespace 2.  This site had a grey/dark purple icon "i" [lowercase letter i] on the link, and when I clicked it, it displayed this:

What is a IMDb/Gamez number? (icon: )
Torrents with this icon next to their name have a IMDb or Gamez number specified. This means that you can easily search for other releases with the same content. This also makes it easier to find the product website or get more information about the movie/game.

Anyways, the link is: http://www.mininova.org/get/6397 which should take you to a dl site. 
PS I use the Azureus BitTorrent client, works very nice with a nice interface!  http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php  You will need the Java JRE on the site, and the Azureus for Windows setup executable.  Both are on that page.

Good luck!

Oh, when I wrote Freespace 2 FE, I meant "Full Edition"  (3-CD), just to clarify.

[CaptJosh]

Usually, we call that either FS2 Retail, or Retail version.

Also, since you're on the subject of downloads, I have a real link to download ISOs of the FS2 discs, so here it is:

http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/39309975/m/115003814731/p/1

Right there in the first post on the page.

[karajorma]

There are a whole bunch of links to torrents in my FAQ too.

[CaptJosh]

Ah, but mine's a direct download from the links in the first post on the page I linked to. No waiting to see if it's a valid torrent, no sitting there biting nails and hoping the download doesn't stall because everyone seeding it is offline at once, etc...

[karajorma]

I agree. A HTTP download is better but it's worth remembering that people may look at this thread 3-4 months from now and the HTTP download may be gone by then

[CaptJosh]

Possibly. But this guy says he has them on his own private server, with plenty of bandwidth (EDIT: If you read the post, he has a two terabyte download limit, well, 2000 GB, bust most people don't know what a real terabyte is, so...). These links have been there over a year and are still functional. I'd say they have a good chance of remaining so.

[karajorma]

Until some dickhead posts the link on Something Awful as has happened twice to MatthewPapa's link.

[CaptJosh]

Or it could get farked, slashdotted, etc.

No sense borrowing trouble, though. Might as well just wait until something happens, if it does. In the mean time, it's a good link, and it should be known here in the community.

[karajorma]

Not disputing that. It's just that I've been here long enough to attempt to preempt problems that I can see coming up
