Yeah, it's in the first post. The full install has been updated with said patches.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

yeah then i read about 10 posts down and found at least 3 or 4 fixes so maybe i should rephrase my question. is there a download somewhere that has all those fixes incorporated into them or do i need to get everything one by one

I thought the fixes have already been incorporated into all downloads.

[wingzero1]

thanks general battuta.

[Jeff Vader]

The main download does include the patches, as it is stated in the first post. The separate patches are for those who downloaded BP a lot earlier, before the patches were included in the main download. It is good to notice that the first post has been edited way later than the following posts were even written.

[wingzero1]

sorry i didnt notice that. im used to other forums that release mods then 30 pages in release a "final" version and not bother editing the first post. so again i apologize for my ignorance of that. thanks all the same though

[wingzero1]

little help here.

at the end of the last mission of "journey of a thousand miles" my game crashes right as the unknown starts to talk after the destroyer tells it to land. literally half of the unknown's text appears then game goes kaput.

im running the latest install with 3.6.9 fs open and the latest mediavps i also have the mod.ini from the first post as well. i tried to install 3.6.10 and was successful but then the capships wouldnt appear ingame. thinking the new 3.6.10 was the problem i tried to roll back to 3.6.9 and now it just goes into the main screen where you can select continue, tech room etc. and after hitting continue i get this

Error: Can't open model file <none>
File:J:\src\cvs\fs2_open_3_6_9.final\code\Model\ModelRead.cpp
Line: 1902

also when i rolled back i tried to delete my mediavps folder and use turey's installer to get the latest ones but it kept saying there was problems installing everything. like i said a little help here please?

[Jeff Vader]

When you have the MediaVPs, it is good to check that the word "mediavps" in the mod.ini corresponds with the name of your mediavps folder. If they differ from each other, the game engine won't use the mediavps and you'll get that error.

If you are missing the MediaVPs at the moment, you'll have to download the 3.6.10 Betas from the Upgrade Project board, since the mirror(s) for the 3.6.8's seem to be down.

[wingzero1]

the mod.ini looks like it points back to the mediavps folder where the vps are, but i think the big problem is when i tried to roll back my version of fso. is there any way to get rid of fso without deleting the entire folder because i cant find my old fs2 discs at the moment and i dont feel like paying for them at GoG

[Jeff Vader]

Deleting the FSO executables and the mod folders should leave you with FS2.

But there is more we can do to help you: run a debug build (preferrably a 3.6.10 debug build), find fs2_open.log from \freespace2\data\ and post it here either as an attachment or using the "code" tags.

ok now i get this message

That error shouldn't be fatal, but that means its probably missing a wxp.tbm...

[wingzero1]

right but when i try to just run fso it wont let me run in debug mode or anything it just keeps coming up with that error and doesnt allow me to do anything else except quit.

You only have the 3.6.8 Zeta MediaVP patches. You're missing the MediaVPs themselves. Try rerunning the Installer. I understand that Turey has located the MediaVPs to another mirror and they can be downloaded now.

[wingzero1]

ok now its mostly working after downloading the new 3.6.10 mediavps but i still cant see any of the capships from blue planet should i maybe re download BP?

[Jeff Vader]

Run the debug once more and again post fs2_open.log. Just in case this can be fixed without straining the servers with an extra download.

[wingzero1]

ok this popped up after running BP through the debugger

Now remove the files beginning with mp-710_. As it was said, those are patches for the 3.6.8 Zeta MediaVPs. You've now downloaded the 3.6.10 Beta MediaVPs and it is never a good thing to mix two MediaVP releases together.

[wingzero1]

nope still no models, actually i cant get any of the gtva models from BP aside from stock FS fighters like the perseus. i just tried to restart my campaign and in the opening cinematic i see nothing. no ships not even the jumpgate is visible. i also got the same error as last time, the 'expo3' error. again i attached the log file

[General Battuta]

So you have Blue Planet selected as a mod in the launcher, you've got at least a 3.6.9 build selected, and you've got the MediaVPs (3.6.8 with patches or 3.6.10 betas.)

Is there a mod.ini in the Blue Planet folder?

[wingzero1]

i have 3.6.10 fso downloaded from turey's installer with the 3.6.10 mediavps, BP is selected in the launcher with the 3.6.10 build as the .exe up top of the launcher, and i have the mod.ini from the first post of this thread. let me guess my log file says everything is *^cked up right?
