When I select that build in the launcher, it says "Failed to read flag file." :sigh:

What does this mean, and how can I fix it?

You need the OpenAL dll file.

We need to make that error message a little more clear. ;)

Thank you!!:nod:

Does anyone have a copy of the most recent offical release of Fred2? Warpcore is down and I didn't download it when I downloaded all the other FS2Open stuff... so everytime I start up the retail FRED2 I have to move the nice .vp's out of the main folder so I can work on stuff! Also heard theres new and fixed features in the FS2Open FRED2. If someone could give it to me somehow that'll be great, or I could just wait till Warpcore is back up. Thanks :)

Can't help you get hold of that version of FRED since I deleted it long ago for a beta build. I can at least help you avoid having to move the VP files all the time though.

What you should do is place them in a folder called MediaVPs. Then when you want to play FS2 simply pick the MediaVPs folder as your chosen mod in the launcher. By doing this FS2 Retail can co-exist quite happily with FS2_Open. If you've installed mods simply follow this guide.

As for the new features there are quite a few very useful ones. My FAQ covers some of the trickier ones and the Wiki should have some details on the rest. I definately recommend getting hold of the SCP version of FRED. I'd hate to go back to the original version now.

Thanks Kara. :D Never would've thought of treating the vp's as a mod. And I will also check out your FAQ.

Well Warpcore is up again. But the offical FRED release for 3.6.5 points to the wrong download. :(

 
When I try to run FS2 open 3.6.7 I get this in debug mode:

==========================================================================
DEBUG SPEW: No debug_filter.cfg found, so only general, error, and warning
categories can be shown and no debug_filter.cfg info will be saved.

Did you actually run the launcher itself? I've seen people put the launcher in the FS2 folder and then run the FS2_Open exe before :)

That said this is the second time I've heard of someone getting that particular registy error. No idea what caused it that time either.

If that guy posted this error message a few days ago, than it was me.

I run the launcher.exe

In there I add the fs2_open_367_p4.exe and I try to run it. Then I get the message.

I even unselected every extra, to check if that is the reason.

PS. What's with this Speech API 5.1? According to the debug msg it seems to be needed.

 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH

I don't f***ing believe it!!!

I made it work

And you won't believe what it was °_°

I could kick my ass...

Well, I forgot to change the grapic options from Direct3D5 to Direct3D8. Under D3D8 I had my graphiccard there and everything else °_°

No wonder it didn' work.

I thought of that but I didn't think the launcher would let you make that mistake any more.

You have to get a recent build.
