i just want voice recognition fixed =< i've had it and now i can't play without it 

[karajorma]

All it needs is for someone to download the SDK and figure out all the preprocessor flags. I've got the first one but I'm not certain about the second. Nor do I have access to Warpcore to upload them even if I did spend the time to figure it all out so I'm out for the moment.

When it says remove all old VPs, does that mean the mv_100patch.vp too?

And... what about the vps that came with the game? (sparky, etc.)

[Cobra]

leave the stock vp's the way they are. without 'em, you wouldn't be able to play scp.

the required SCP component is mv_core. (self explanatory, right? )

For all the graphical enhancements, download mv_models, mv_textures, mv_effects, and if you have a very powerful computer, mv_adveffects. all should be self-explanatory by the names.

note that these take up a lot of HD space and may cause some slowdowns if you have a medium-ranged computer, but it's worth it.

[karajorma]

That's voice synthesis. Voice recognition means you can bark orders into a microphone rather than having to use the keyboard to call in support etc.

Ok, I'm getting really annoyed with the CVS builds. on 20060303 and 20062303, they keep randomly crashing. The game freezes and the music gets stuck in a one-second loop. you know the whole thing. i don't even get an error. just a 'windows has found a fatal error in the program' error that asks you to send an error report or no.

[karajorma]

The errorlog.txt file will say what caused the problem.

Running a debug build will tell you more.

[Cobra]

all i see is access violations from various dll's.

For those of us unable to build our own builds (what else do I need to compile this in Visual Studio 2005 besdies the Platform SDK anyway ?) we would like a new one because taylor just put out some cool new nebula tbm 

[SuperCoolAl]

Where IS Redmenace? 

[Mars]

Somwhere in a place called "Real Life"... wherever that is.

[neoterran]

We were promised a build last weekend but it never materialized.

I want to try to build it, where can i get CVS ?

[karajorma]

Start here.

[pecenipicek]

which CVS build would i be looking for if i didnt want to use the 3.6.8 beta VP's, only the 3.6.7 certified vp's and those 3 patches?


gimmie ideas peepz.

Get Taylors' latest build from http://icculus.org/~taylor/fso/nightly/, it's the most modern, and it has support from environment mapping in OpenGL. You should always run in OpenGL it's faster.

[pecenipicek]

thanks

cheers

Wow, that sounds awesome, quite an unexpected surprise. My last final exam is tomorrow, but I have to find some time to try this out tonight.

[pecenipicek]

well, it doesnt even open for me. i think it stops at the OpenAL loading. no error message, nothing. it just stops at intializing openal... however, the old voice recognition build works fine, so its all fine and dandy.

i cant verify env mapping yet.

[tamshiwen]

tried the build out and environment mapping is works great in opengl.  one strange thing i noticed is that if you're looking at your ship in third person view and then lock the camera so you can move the ship in third person view, the environment map gets locked in place too.  definately much better implemented than in d3d, doesn't hit frame rate as hard.  haven't tried it in a big mission yet though, just surrender belsarius.

the build crashed with a fatal error report when i was testing Pathways' final release package. ( ) right when i was near the end the build froze and windows spouted out its usual bull****. oh, and the evironment mapping looks a little weird on the cockpit. it's like you can see a green nebula and a red one. there's a third too but i can't remember what color it was. i took a screenshot but the screenshot code is busted again.

but the loading times are insanely fast.
