Unfortunate problems with SCP
Hello.

As you can guess, I have just joined HLP.

I am currently having problems with the SCP. A few days ago, I cleared my swap file. Now I have two problems:

1. When I try to start a mission in 3.6.7, it gets stuck on the loading screen. 3.6.5 is fine.
2. In Fred2_Open when I try to create a wing I get a 'illegal operation' error with these details:

FRED2_OPEN_3_6_5 caused an invalid page fault in
module USER.EXE at 000c:00003ebb.

I made the maximum swap size 200MB. What is causing the problem, and can it be fixed? :confused:

:welcome:

Welcome to HLP! Exits are to the right and left. In the event of a landing of any kind, you can and will be used as a flotation device. Flamethrowers are conviniently located under your seats, however, due to the recent funding cuts, a $3.5 million donation is required to obtain a flamethrower with a full load of napalm in it. If you do not wish to make a donation, your flamethrower will remain filled with water. If you don't wish to donate and still want a working weapon, you'd have to try the weapons locker. However, only HLP Admins, a :V: God, or a Hyperintelligent shade of Blue can open the lock, so you'd have to break in. If you find yourself inside a ventilation shaft and you catch a glimpse of a Shivan, you don't need to worry... much. It's just Carl, and you have two choices with how you want to deal with him:
    1. The first possible course of action is getting one of the weapons from the afore-mentioned weapons locker, and trying to ward off Carl by threatening him with the weapon. Be advised that many of the weapons in the weapons locker are covered with the blood of people who thought it a good idea to break into the weapons locker and use the procured weapon to ward off Carl. So, please, if you decide you want to choose this course of action, choose one of the already-bloody weapons, so you don't get blood all over one of the clean ones.
   2. Your second course of action when you see Carl is to throw your lunch to him and hope he isn't hungry. This is the better option.
   As a final note, please remember that any attempt to use the ASCII characters 0046h, 0053h, and 0033h in sequential order will result in you being trampled by Freespace Fanboys. Your trampled remains will be fed to Carl so that the rest of us don't have to carry around so much food for lunch.





update FSO to 3.6.9 RC7. you'll also need to get the 3.6.8 zeta mediavps and the 710 patches (linked to in the topic above). I'd also recomend getting launcher pre-5.4.

You forgot to tell him to get OpenAL Turey. If you don't remember to tell newbies to do that they'll be back very quickly :D

Apart from that, you're spot on :yes:

3.6.5 (and 3.6.7 for that matter) are so old that we're basically not supporting them. Whatever is causing the bug has probably been fixed in preperation for the 3.6.9 release so you might as well use the files suggested above.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
