Great stuff! No more scrambling for 100 downloads! But there is a problem with the game, since it only happend in this pack and not  any other previous fs2 I used I suppose I should tell: As soon as I start a mission the game crashes. I got the 2/26 build and it said the error was a typo (I fixed that later on) but now the debugger gives me this in the spew (the error window didn't pop up with the details):

Hmmm... Extension passed to mission_load...
Reassigning player to squadron 53rd Hammerheads
Someone passed an extension to bm_load for file 'hammer.pcx'
Int3(): From c:\fs2_open\code\parse\sexp.cpp at line 17851

Thats what it said at the end of the spew after it said mission load so I'm assuming thats the error. My question is has anyone else gotten this? (I got the torrent on 2/25 btw).

EDIT: I'm redownloading the pack to make sure this isn't a random corruption or bug that occured in the download.

i removed the adveffects and the game doesn't slow down anymore but it still crashes.

Don't waste your bandwidth. That one is a bug in the code. You just need to wait for it to be fixed or try an older build.

[ShivanSpS]

Try which the 2/24 Build...That works fine for me... if that dont work go on for Goobler 2/20.

This Pack already have the Low-End Shockwaves, its in freespace2/data directory (in /Models and /map as say in the Shockwave thread and readme) it should be in mediavps/data, but, is working anyway... Remember to use OpenGL not D3D...

lol damn, I forgot something, The HTL URSA its not really installed... When I install the HTL Apollo, HTL URSA and Hi res Lucifer in that moment I think that SCP is looking for files in any folder inside the /datas, but is not... (that is a big mistake if you ask to me), for That in a first time I Put the Apollo in "Freespace2/fs_port/Data/HTL_Apollo", the Ursa in "Freespace2/Data/HTL_Ursa" and the Hi res lucifer in "Freespace2/Data/Hi_res_Lucifer", That in a first moment, when I discover that is not working (its should be, that could be great for a little organisation, because if you have many modifications you going to having a lot of files and is hard to see for what is everyone), anyway, in that Moment I re-edited and the pack and put the HTL_Apollo files in the fs_port/data, check it and repack it, and say to re-download the torrent is someone is already started to download them (Page 1 of this post), but I complety forgot the Ursa and Lucifer lol (well The Hi res lucifer can causes slowdown because of its poly count), but the Ursa files should be go in mediavps/data or freespace2/data or not going to work.. anyway, is not so important.

There appears to also be a ships table in the Data folder which is causing problems.

[ShivanSpS]

mmm where this table came from? This data folder is New, I deleted the Older "data" from the pack, I see in you guide to rename it, but is no use, there is nothing inside the retail "data", so I deleted it and Created a new One, I just put the Movies and a Low-End Shockwaves? wait a minute.

[ShivanSpS]

Yeah, confirmed, this table came from the Low-end Shockwaves... I having problems too to run any build newer than 2/24... do you recomend me to delete it or rename? You know what this table do?

[karajorma]

I suspect that it is for the low end shockwaves too. It specifies which pof will be used for them. Without it the shockaves from the standard VPs will probably be the one that gets used.

The problem is that the table refers to the HTL Leviathan pof which is in the mediavps folder. That means if you run with no mods or run FRED using the icon provided you get a file not found as soon as something uses the Leviathan.

The newer builds problem should be fixed in any CVS build posted today or late yesterday.

Hey, im new to the whole freespace 2 gig. I remember playing The very first one back in 99/2000 and really enjoyed it. I downloaded this pack and helped seed at 96kbs. After unrar'ing it and setting it up, I went to play the actual campaign but it kept saying insert disc 2. Am I missing something here?

[Goober5000]

Disc 2, I would assume.

[SoulEdge]

you're a clever one...i got the fs2_open working finally. It seems I can not use my mouse to look around ingame. I tried messing around with the controls but I guess this game doesnt allow mouse look?

[Dark Hunter]

Dude stop torturing yourself and get a joystick.

[ShivanSpS]

My joystick dont work since 3 years ago :LOL and eventhem, I never used a joystick which FS xDDDDDDDDDDDD I always use the keyboard, I just changed the controls from 8,4,2,6 on the numpad to up,righ,left,down arrows and everything is fine

[General Freak]

And the estimated system requirements for this would be...?
(Oh, and it's safe to assume mv_adveffects won't be loaded).

something like that!!

I downloaded this package, and have been playing the Freespace Port. I made it to mission 6, but could not complete it, because the asteroids I was supposed to destroy were invisible, yet they hit the Galatea! When I initially loaded the mod, with all the eye-candy turned on, the Galatea was also partially invisible. Turning off the eye-candy restored the Galatea, but not the asteroids.

I noticed version 3.0 of this port had recently been released. I will download this, to see if the problem is fixed.

In addition, I ran into a problem getting the included FS1 cutscenes to play. The teaser movie played fine, but I only heard audio with the first Ancients cutscene.

Uninstall the DivX toolbar.

[RentACop]

 I......I take it no-one can help me with my crash problem? In that case, is there any place where I can download a  FS2 version that has all the cutscenes and high resolution dealies? I don't really want to use my 3-cd version because one of them has a crack, (plus I'd rather not have to have a dics in the drive).

I'm a bit mystifed as to what could be causing that if previous versions of the SCP ran. Do you remember what build you used to use? Could could always try downloading it and running it with no mods (so that the media VPs are skipped). If that works it will probably crash out as soon as you get to missions with the Leviathan in (complaining about not being able to find a .pof file) but that can be fixed
