Sync problem - instant blackness
on: April 04, 2007, 10:37:07 pm
Was playing through Sync again with SCP 3.6.9 and all the latest mediavps.  Had no problems at all until I got to mission E2M5, which is the first red alert mission.  I looked at the file and its the one where you finally find the Persistence in the lost systems.  As soon as the mission starts, I see a moment of space then instantly everything outside goes to black.  I can see my HUD but apparently can't fire weapons (no sound effect and gun energy doesn't drop).  Persumably the mission is still running as the dialogue keeps going.  Anybody have this problem before or know how to get around it?  Thanks!

I've dealt with it before.  Seemed to be something with the location you warp in (I think it's that mission, anyway).  If you edit the mission and remove the red alert you should be fine.  Alternatively, use a 3.6.7 build for that mission.

Removing the red-alert from the mission worked.  Weird....

Thanks!

Click his (or whoever you're getting ready to fry) user name.  Then click "Show the last posts of this person" on the bottom.  Then you will have links to their posts in whatever threads they have posted in.

The best part of all the welcome beams is that I used to post here a lot a few years ago and have been lurking since then :p

He probably posted "a lot" in what has now become "The Pub" and therefore those post's no longer count towards his postcount.  :p

Does it matter?  To get the password for an old account emailed to you, the old email account has to still exist.  It doesn't, so I had to make a new one.

Hmph.  Was the old e-mail account free?  (Y!, MSN/Hotmail, AOL...)  You might be able to re-activate teh old account by using "forgot password" & answer your "secret question", then use the account to reactivate your old HLP account... If you wanted to.

What was your old user name?  I could easily merge the two.
