are we talking about retail FS2?
or do you have the SCP and just  don't want to install any mods?


either way, my upcoming campain won't work with retail, and it has new ships & stuff included.

: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.



Standard newbie help:
If you would like to install the SCP, check the list. It has ultra-simple SCP install instructions.

Re: Campaigns without MODs? If any present here.
 I have retail version of FS2.
Yes- instructions about installation FSO (Standard newbie help) quite simple, but then i try to play game after all this modifications i have many bugs, maybe im just unlucky.. :(
 For example - i can't see opening movie if select OpenGL renderer. Or - in Original Freespace campaign i can't mount any weapon to my ship ( just can't see any weapon at all )
 So - i trying to find any non-modified campaign.

i'm fairly sure you can fix this problem simply by making a new pilot.

Re: Campaigns without MODs? If any present here.
 What you mean? There's one pilot name present from the beginning "Shivan" if i right. O'course i create a new pilot then i begin to play. Or you speak about something else?

when you upgrade to SCP from retail, you should delete ALL the pilots and make a new one. It should work fine then.

The game doesn't make any pilots "by default". It carries over pilots from retail.

Re: Campaigns without MODs? If any present here.
I was trying to use "fs2scpfullpackv15c_Shivansps", then upgrade it with updates "FS2_SCP_full_pack 1.8 Update" and "fs2_scp_1_9c_update". After this i have 2 different folders in my "Programs" directory. And  no campaigns working for me after this. Every campaign was a unique bug inside. :) Maybe i do something wrong.
 Btw- how can i mount campaign into FSO? I just copied all files inside "Data" directory.Maybe there's some type of FAQ how to use a new campaigns?
 P.S. And - yes, now i have a perfectly working original FS2, ratail version. Maybe i must try to do like you said in your nooobish instruction and upgrade FS to FSO by this way?

Deus Ex Machina does not use any mods (that conflict, anyhow) so it should work for you. :)

Aeos Affair is another good mod-free campaign, but it's a little hard for the beginning player.

you already have FS2, so using the Shivan pack is not a good idea, as it includes quite a lot of files that may screw you up if you've already got FS2 installed.

My list page assumes you already have FS2, so it only asks you to download the files that YOU will need. So yes, use my page instead of the Shivan pack.

Try this link


http://campaignlist.hard-light.net/


Then click on FS2 Retail Campaigns

Some of my fav's are:

Deep Blood, Neo-Terra is fun, Rogue Intentions, Journey to Epsilon Pegasi, among many others.

Also look
http://hades-combine.com/web/index.php?ind=downloads&op=section_view&idev=9


As an aside, is the VWA working?  I have a lot of campaigns that don't exist in any of those databases but were on the old Volition Watch Archives like LDK campaign.

Installing my pack over the FS2 retail should not cause any problem because there is nothing in a Fs2 retail that may interfiere... excepting the Pilots... But anyways... installing my pack over the retail is no sence just delete the retail and install my pack...

Re: Campaigns without MODs? If any present here.
just delete the retail and install my pack...

that's just insane. Why would he bother uninstalling retail and then re-downloading files he already had?

Besides, he's already tried your pack and it didn't work right. Why shouldn't he try this way?

I know that, there is no reason for do it, but if she cant make my pack to work i found hard to belive that their could update from retail to scp alone :P

Besides, there is nothing in a retail folder than could make problems which my pack... only the pilots. I used a retail install too, the files are just the same, I only delete some files that arent needed :P, so there is no reason to say that my pack dont work on a retail install, is not recomended because you going to install some file that you already have.

Re: Campaigns without MODs? If any present here.
 Big thanks to you all, guys. Because i spent all of my 20gb of monthly traffic , i just can't download files to upgrade my game into FSO at this time.But i'll try to do this after next month traffic starts.
 Also - thanks for links to the retail campaigns. In guide about installing campaign only told how-to-install into FSO version of game, then there's launcher present, but how can i do this in the Retail version? Same way? Create folder, place files inside and further as it is told?
 Some campaigns have only one file named "filename.vp" , others have several files named "filename.fs2".What i need to do with this files?
 P.S. Sorry for my noobish questions.  ;)

Re: Campaigns without MODs? If any present here.
Installing mods on retail is pretty different from installing them on Open

Here's a very old page from my FAQ explaining how to do it. The info should still be correct but I give no assurances that the information on any of the pages linked from it is still good.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
