...mmm.  I might be able to upload it later today...  Not sure if I still have the files.  Or I could just give you my fsport dir.

[Shootaz]

Is that the same thing?
Anyways, thanks a bunch!

Thanks so much, dling right now. Does this include the campaigns?

[jr2]

I just 7-zipped my fsport dir & told it to make an SFX archive, in case you or someone else didn't have 7-zip... although you should. 

[Shootaz]

I have 7zip, the file im downloading is fsport.exe though. So it does include the campaigns right?

[jr2]

Ya... even includes Awakenings, I think (not sure).  Anything that would be in your fsport directory is there.

[Shootaz]

thanks for taking the time to up it mate, now I can start playing   

[jr2]

Np, enjoy.

I'm glad you finally got it. Look around the sites, theres more missions ad campaigns hiding in various places.

I was trying to help you get just those files.

Hey!!!  Forgive me if this has already been addressed. I don't have tiime to read through all 34 pages.

I was having problems with the Retail version of FS2 for some reason (no idea, I've ran it on my system before...). Anyhoo, I downloaded the FS2 Open installer and the game played great. Only problem is, I didn't get any of the cutscenes. They are kinda vital to follow the story line, especially with Bosch's gambit. Is this normal or did I do something wrong?? Also, now that I've played the original campaign for the 100th time, I'd like to try some user campaigns. What are the best ones and where do I get/use them?? Thanks in advance.

[Turey]

You should be running in OpenGL (Launcher, Graphics tab)

Many of the better user-made campaigns are included in the Installer. You can use them by selecting their folder on the mod tab of the launcher.

[karateguy]

Thanks. I am running OpenGL. I even tried going into the Tech rom and playing the cutscenes from there but it still didn't play them.

WRT the Mods, I tried using the tab at the top at selecting one ie; "Awakenings". When I select it and click "Okay, Run" it just starts the FS2 campaign from the last "Bastion" mission. It won't open the mod at all.

Maybe the problem is I installed the "Open" installer after I installed the retail game. Should I unistall the retail version and just download everything via the lancher??

[karajorma]

The problem is that you must select the mod from the launcher (as you have done) AND select the campaign you wish to play from the campaign room in-game. Do that and your first problem should be over.

As for your second problem, do you have the FS2 CDs? Copy anything on disk 2 and 3 with the extension .mve into your main FS2 folder and run again. You should see the intro on startup now.

Is his problem that he doesn't have a decoder?  If so, then ffdshow from www.freecodec.com will fix him up.

[karajorma]

That would only occur if he was using the .avi cutscenes and AFAIK the installer never installed those. .mve and .ogg only.

[jr2]

  Windows comes with built-in .ogg video decoding support?  Or is it built into FSOpen?

[karajorma]

It's built into Open.

The problems with missing decoders was due to the .avi code relying on using DirectShow for playing the movies. Which itself was due to us not finding a good, cross-platform .avi decoder with a suitable (i.e non GPL) open source licence and therefore having to rely on Windows to decode movies for us.

The fact that .ogg can be decoded in-game is the main reason we added support for the format.

AHHHHH! Awesome, thanks.

As for your second problem, do you have the FS2 CDs? Copy anything on disk 2 and 3 with the extension .mve into your main FS2 folder and run again. You should see the intro on startup now.

Yes I have the original disks. I'll give it a try. Thanks again.  I'm in the middle of something else right now so it may be a few days before I respond again. Thanks again for all your help.
