He was Alpha 3, I believe.

[Cobra]

Alpha 3.

[the_dark_light]

I assume Alpha3 isn't "duct tape"?

[Cobra]

Alpha 2 is.

[the_dark_light]

Alpha 2 is.

Shame on me, given that I've been playing a lot of derelict lately, I should remember  (or rather, I should have known that)

[the_dark_light]

I'm really starting to hate my voice now in this campaign.

I replayed mission 1 to check, don't worry - your voice is ok.  If you really don't like you voice then I'll have to dig out the sound clips I made when trying to create a half life mission (my awfull rendition of the G-Man will surely restore your confidence)

Argh!  No!  I somehow managed to corrupt my save file many missions in.  The game crashes now whenever I click on my pilot name in single player and click select.  I was on the mission in which

Spoiler:

you chase down some Shivan fighters, then follow their bombers (I think that you have 3 separate short missions without returning to base) and end up at a Lilith with two Cains...  I keep trying to disable the main cannon on the Lilith but either get friendly fired upon [and killed] by the Ignatious (sp?) or die some other way.  After numerous rounds of that, I decide to try to get back to the loadout select to properly take that thing down, so I hit replay previous mission a bunch of times (it apparently only lets you go back one).

I can't remember precisely what I did, but I can't play anymore with that pilot.  I would rather not have to play through the whole beginning of the campaign (despite how awesome it is) just to get past that point.  Is there any remedy to this?  Can someone post their save files so that I can try using those and going mission by mission in the simulator or something?

[Jeff Vader]

Well, you can always create a new pilot. Then just go to the Mission Simulator and hit ctrl+shift+s and all the missions will show. Of course you'll be kicked back to the main hall and you have to repeat the procedure every time you want to play a mission. Life sucks, I know, but at least this is one way to do it.

Oh hey, thanks.  That will work nicely.  It beats having to go through the often extended waiting periods in the earlier missions...

[Jeff Vader]

Great. And now that I noticed,

I have problem again Derelict doesn't use a mediavps although they are being used when I choose mediavps "mod" in launcher.
What should I do?

BTW Great work, Derelict Team  it's god campagin (although I haven't finish it yet).

Move the .VP files in your MediaVPs into the Derelict folder.

[PLX]

Thanks Hyper Ion. I works 

[Cobra]

That's a no-no. The mediaVPs should not contain anything other than the mediavps and modifications to them.

NOOOOO!!!!
That can work or not depending on the exact vp names...

Use mod.ini feature. You can read more info about it here:

• This page from Karajorma's FAQ
• This and this from the Wiki.

Learning how FS2 Open manages the game data is really important. It will solve you tons of future troubles. Don't fear spending some time reading and understanding it. Ask any doubts you have.

EDIT: Cobra has been faster than I in his reply. 

[Cobra]

True, but yours is a little more informative.

Hmm, well this may save me some hard-drive space. I think I also know why Derelict's mod.ini never worked for me now. I can only assume that a missing "_" between media and VP is the cause of my problem. However, the sites you gave contradict that piece of information, saying that on the secondaries line, I don't need the "_".

[Herra Tohtori]

I'm not trying to be mean here, but what did you expect? Iif you have a directory named "media_vps" in any folder, and you navigate ther ewith the command.com (dos prompt) and type "cd mediavps" without the _ between, you will be informed that there is no such file or directory.

That is exactly what happens if you don't make sure every mod folder name is written exactly as it should - the -mod command line option is a bit more unforgiving though, since it doesn't warn about mod folders not found, it just doesn't use folders that don't exist, which means any mist-typed mod folder name is just passed when the game initializes the collective data pool (from root VP's, root\data\, activated mod folder VP's and mod folder data directories) to be used on startup. And seeing how the mod.ini files essentially are just one way of using the -mod command line argument, same applies to them (naturally).

I can just echo what has been said - learn about the Force data management in FS2_Open. It will save everyone's time.

To be honest, I expected one of the sources (Blaise's mod.ini or the .ini in those link) to be wrong as one omits the "_" and the other doesn't.  Oh well, I suppose I must abandon the American need to expect everything to be done for me and modify the mod.ini accordingly.

[Dark Hunter]

The vast majority of mod.ini files out there will not have the "_" there, so as a general rule, keep it that way.
