Hello. I'm new here

In both the derelict and Warzone campaign, I encountered game ending errors (or better: errors that prevent ending the game)

In Derelict, in the mission "Memento Mori" where you have to destroy the SD Cthon the mission always crashes after the SD shows up and the pilots talk about the Nyarlathotep. Always the same spot. In about 50 tries :-(

Anybody knows how to fix that? The mail adresses of the creators are not valid anymore.


In Warzone, I complete the mission "Stacking the deck". I get both primary targets marked as completed and the order to jump out. I get a positive debriefing but when I wan't to continue I get a message that I failed the mission and cannot continue :-(

Here again, the email adress of the creator isn't valid anymore.

Regards

Another Newbie. Where are they all coming from today?



Not certain about your problem with Warzone but the Derelict one should be fixable if you'll answer a few questions.

1. Are you running the retail 3CD version, HotU download or FS2_Open?
2. Are you running the original Derelict or Blaise Russels SCP remix?
3. What are your computers stats (processor, RAM etc)

[Turalyon]

Regaeding.

1. I use the original 3 CD version, but already patched on 1.2

2. I use the Derelict version downloaded at http://archives.volitionwatch.com, don't know which one this is

3. My stats:

AMD Atlon XP 2100+
1024 MB RAM
Radeon 9600 Pro (256 MB)
300 GB HDD
and a Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIa OnBoard Sound Device.

How have you installed them both then? Cause you shouldn't really have more than one mod active at a time on FS2 Retail.

[Turalyon]

Well, I installed Warzone after the bug in derelict came up, so there wasn't much else what could have disturbed Derelict.

And the bug in Warzone seems to be a mission-based error, so it can't really be a collision of two mods

[karajorma]

I didn't think the warzone one was your fault but the derelict one could be. It sounds like you have a dodgy ship installed. I'll have a look at the mission in FRED.

[Turalyon]

What do you mean with dodgy ship?

I didn't install anything besides Freespace 2 and after that Derelict

[karajorma]

I was suspecting you had a dodgy table or mod that you've forgotten you installed. You'll be surprised at the number of times someone has sworn blind that they haven't got any other mods installed only to find a rogue table was the problem later

Had a quick look but I'm not familiar with the mission. Have you seen the Cypher jump out yet?

[Turalyon]

Not that I remind it. As I said, as soon as the SD Cthon shows up, it crashes a few seconds later

[karajorma]

In that case I'm mystified. There's nothing going on at that precise point that should cause a crash if you have no mods installed.

[Turalyon]

Any chance of skipping the mission? I hate to cheat, but I can't anyway in that case since the ^G cheat doesn't work anyway (so I've heard)

[karajorma]

Killing yourself 5 times is the most simple way to skip a mission. The game will offer you the option to proceed to the next one.

The Cthon is a long-known, and long-running, bug. Nobody's ever figured it out, and the SCP hasn't eliminated it either accidentally or intentionally.

[Goober5000]

Mantis?

[NGTM-1R]

I suspect it's in there somewhere very early, if you look. I can't imagine it hasn't been reported by now.

And it's not, strictly speaking, an SCP bug. It's been there since retail.

[Goober5000]

I suspect it's in there somewhere very early, if you look. I can't imagine it hasn't been reported by now.

That kind of attitude is what keeps people from reporting these kinds of bugs. I'm fairly certain it's not there.

And it's not, strictly speaking, an SCP bug. It's been there since retail.

Yeah, but we fix those too.

[Turalyon]

Silly question. What does SCP mean? °_°

[NGTM-1R]

Source Code Project.

Goob: You asked for it.

I'm also going to attach the mission from Cleaning Crew that displayed similar behaviour, though I don't know if it's actually related.

[karajorma]

If you've not checked out the SCP forum do it now. And then kick yourself for sticking with retail for so long

[Turalyon]

Ok, I reinsalled FS2 retail and downloaded FS2_opn. I unpacked the files into the FS2 folder and started the launcher.exe.

Now, what do I do with all these extra files like sparky_hi_fs1.vp or fsport_glow.vp or fsport_shine.vp or tango_fs1.vp

Do I just unpack them into my FS1 folder? The tutorial for installing FS2 says something about video setup etc, is that it?
And where do I get the Speech API 5.1?
