Just tried running chapters 2 to 4 of this campaign with SCP 3.6.5, the fs2_open_C01202005.exe, and 3.6.7_p4. All of them give me errors.

I aint got any hosting at the moment so I'm gonna just have to paste them here, sorry:

Anyone got any idears? And why does it change the ship that it thinks causes the error for 3.6.7_p4?

I am stumped.

[karajorma]

You sure you haven't got a rogue table or VP file?

Are you placing all your mods in folders and using the select mod button?

[Rand al Thor]

Theyre in a mod folder, -IntothedepthsofHell as it happens, and I tried having them all in there at first using the chpt 4 tables but that game me table errors all over the place; about 8 everytime I launched.

So the above errors are just from trying chpt 2. Dunno why it would give a problem with the Ares or this Scimitar.

[Rand al Thor]

Weird. It just loaded without a problem that time but the Scimitar wasn't in the tech room (with the  Ctrl Alt S, thanks works with 367) or the model viewer F3 thing.

But then it CTD'd when I went to weapons.

Crazy. Who knows.

Also, is there a VP builder around? FSO doesnt seem to pickup the non vp chapter one unless its dumped in main directory and not a mod subfolder.

[StratComm]

The contents of a VP would need to be dumped into /moddir/data/, not just moddir.

And this is definitely a rogue table problem.

[Rand al Thor]

Ok, so let me get this straight.

The download (and lets just concentrate on chpt 2) comes with a vp file and then some music and table files. I have to put these all in the -IntotheDepthsofHell\data folder?

Well I've just tried it. Completely deleted the mod folder I had and recreated it and I get this list of errors.

It's definately a table problem but unless freespace is reading a table from another mod folder for some reason its not a case of the being a rogue table in there.

Also, even though the pof for the Orc is in the VP it doesn't display an image in the tech room. Its entry and description are there, just no spinning ship.

AND, the Deadelus (?) causes a CTD, it doesn't seem to be anywhere in the VP.

I might just wait till Noise repackages them all. Don't have the patience for messing around with tables at the mo.

[karajorma]

The SCP tightened up the requirements for table files a while back. You could try going into the launcher and turning on the troubleshooting>>Disable parsing errors option but be warned that the stricter parsing was there to prevent crashes.

[Triple Ace]

Is this thing still being worked on? The website has been down for quite a while.

[Fearless Leader]

Im not pc savy, but I found that the 1st part works with 3.6.7 and the 2nd works with 3.6?

I couldnt get it to work by making it a mod, I just followed the instructions from the readme file.

[Fearless Leader]

I hope he gets done soon. I want to play the rest of it.

[karajorma]

Didn't turning on the less strict parcing as I described above help?

[Fearless Leader]

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll try it later. Right now Im testing missions for Trash Man's new campaign. (All very intresting)

[Nuclear1]

On a related note, it seems that the links to Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 on Noise's site seem to be not active. Has anyone hosted these elsewhere?

[Depth_Charge]

there in the hades combine..

[Nuclear1]

Ah, of course it is.

[Noise]

The Scimitar has been a royal pain so far, I'll be replacing it with the Athena DH and call it a stealth bomber, as for the weapons table, I'll be trimming that down too.

The whole campaign so far has been built using vanilla FS2, so that might be your best option, and chapter 2 has the most bugs, that was when I first started playing around with mods, which probably is the source of most of the problems.  Don't worry, things are being reworked.

[Fearless Leader]

They'd better!
**shakes fist ful of bacon at monitor**

[Depth_Charge]

hey one question, is chp 5 still in progress, or its on hold til chapter 2 and 3 is redone?

[karajorma]

1) It's not a hosted project.
2) Since Noise is basically working on it single handed why would he need a forum?

[Nuclear1]

Maybe for the same reason that Ransom has a forum for Transcend: publicity, releases, and a place where issues and bugs such as these can be addressed and not scattered across HLP.
