Yet Another Derelict SCP Problem
I'm having a problem with Derelict.  Whenever I try to play the mission after Code Of Honor, the game crashes and I get this error message.  The previous missions work fine.

Error: dl2-04-l2.fs2(65):
Error: Required token = [$multi_text], found [$mirror: 0] .

File:parse/parselo.cpp
Line: 551

I'm running 3.6.7 and it's .VPs.  Anyone know how to fix this?

Re: Yet Another Derelict SCP Problem
Go to the SCP forum/recent builds subforum and download 3.6.9 RC 3.

You'll also need OpenAL if you don't already have it installed.


(Yet another problem that should hopefully vanish once 3.6.9 becomes the latest officially released build :D )

Re: Yet Another Derelict SCP Problem
It's working now.  Thanks a lot.   :)    I have another question.  What folder are Lightspeed's nebulas supposed to go in?  I downloaded them but they aren't showing up in the game.  Black space is boring.

Put them in another folder within FreeSpace2 (example: C:\FreeSpace2\Nebulas) and then make Derelict point to them through SecondaryList in its Mod.ini. So within C:\FreeSpace2\Derelict\Mod.ini (or similar MOD folder) you will have a line telling something like that:

Code: [Select]
[multimod]
PrimaryList  = ;
SecondaryList = Nebulas,mediavps;

(mediavps is the name of the folder where you have copied the SCP enhaced media vps).

If nebulas are inside a vp you have finished. If they aren't, copy all the image files inside C:\FreeSpace2\Nebulas\data\effects (you'll have to create that folders).
IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES WITH FS2:
  • Please, please, please, READ and UNDERSTAND the sticky threads in FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support board.
    A lot of people are willing to help you, but, as anyone can understand, seeing the very same "issues" repeated again and again can become quite depressing. Please, spend a bit of time trying to solve the issue by yourself.
    (Lobo deserves a monument).
  • Then, if you aren't still able to solve your issue, feel free to ask for help in that same board.
    FYI, most of the troubles are caused by wrong mod installations which lead to either missing data or undesired cross-effects between them. Always follow the mod installation instructions and keep a clean FS2 installation as explained in the sticky threads. Two additional links about how the game handles game data:
  • If you think that you've discovered a bug, mantis it.
    Provide as much info as you can, and try to narrow it down. A lonely "FS2 doesn't work" is not a good report.

Re: Yet Another Derelict SCP Problem
You can pretty much miss out the primarylist line entirely and still have that work.

Apart from that, it's spot on.

Thanks for all the help.  Wow, these nebulas look awesome. :)
