In "A game of Tag" i don't have any tag missiles.... ye' olde loadout problem strikes again

Strange. Just tested (through Ctrl+Shift+S) and I get 40 TAG-A missiles 

(A corrupted pilot maybe or even an unknown corruption pilot issue??)

I've just been playing the main campaign with 'dem new vps and worked fine. So, a pilot corruption or an unwanted vp lurking around somewhere.

[DaBrain]

This was already reported right?

Yes. Known problem... and I blame everybody but me for it.

In opposite-world

[Kazan]

i'm so sick and tired of having to delete my pilot constantly - especially when it causes me to loose program

solutions pls

Hey Kazan, you are a coder and then you know how difficult bug hunting is. Don't moan about it.

Pilot corruption shouldn't happen. The latest builds even have a new initial check which doesn't allow you to start the game with a pilot that lacks the available campaign. (You get a warning screen where you can go to pilot selection screen, to campaign room or exit the game).

If there's still some kind of corruption issue, please try to reproduce it and then MANTIS the exact steps. It's a PITA if you lose your pilot progress but this is a hard life. You can always play any mission you want through Ctrl+Shif+S (although I know it's not the same).

[Kazan]

last time i tried to touch something that remotely touched pilot code it wasn't pretty because taylor has a big pilot file update coming

[ShivanSpS]

mmm just a sugestion, it shouldt the modified FS2 mission files to use the LS nebulas in the mediavps???

Ooops, this model still shows this error: Mantis 1555

(I mantised several vp issues as DaBrain asked for that way in his first post).

I know little about pof editing so I don't know how to fix it.

Under 3.6.9-debug and 3.6.10 I cannot reproduce this one, so I have no idea what it's in reference to and there are 5 LODS in the POF in both ModelView32 and PCS2. *shrugs*

However, not that verification is needed but until my mantis login situation is sorted out, I can confirm reproducing 1557.

All of these are for capital2t-01.pof:

Haven't loaded any missions with the science vessel in use, but the Moloch and Dis have not given me any messages yet.

1184 and 1542 I am unable to reproduce with 3.6.9 (Regular and debug) with 3.6.10 VP's.

The screenshot that ShivanSP posted, happens under 3.6.10 exe's (10/28 and 12/07 w/wout 1119 shader vp's) but does NOT happen with 3.6.9 exe's, but I do get the following error messages from 3.6.9-debug:

Unrelated, but the multi-mission-pack missions "MassiveBattle" and "MassiveBattle2" says "Warning: Unable to find a sufficient number of bitmaps for this mission's background.  The background will not be displayed.".

Attached is warning and related messages ONLY from 3.6.10 1207-debug log w/3.6.10 media vps in Missions SM1-01, SM1-02, SM1-03 and Loop1-1.

...Anyone else notice that the maps for the subspace corridor (IE when the mission takes place in subspace) Is missing?

If this was already mentioned, my bad.

[Herra Tohtori]

Just out of spite, I tested out how different sun images interact with these MediaVP's.

In my opinion they interact spectacularly well. The stars came from a dude whose nick consisted of "m" and some string of numbers after it, if I recall correctly; he was making realistic stars for Warzone (and did quite a bunch of them before disappearing) and out of courtesy he also provided a set of stars to replace the retail suns. I quite like them. And I'd even say they look better to my eye than the suns in these MediaVP's at the moment.



I can post these if anyone wants to experiment with them... I'm gonna keep using these for sure.

[Jeff Vader]

I can post these if anyone wants to experiment with them...

Please do. At least the screenie looks awfully pretty.

[Admiral Nelson]

This was m2258734a.  He made quite a few stars, actually.  I was intending to replace all of the stars in the FS2 and FS1 campaigns with his.  I am missing Vega and Sirius to complete FS2.  I seem to have lost the original stars.tbl I made to go with them, but he included the correct RGB codes in the original thread so I could reconstruct them.  This is to the point someone raised earlier about the star color in the LS2 missions; I never went back to finally adjust those as I was expecting to replace them all with proper stars anyway.  I asked another person to help me with Vega and Sirius, but that never went anywhere either, and I sort of forgot about the project.

Mission 1 with his Deneb (but without lens flares as this image is old).

[Herra Tohtori]

Yeah, that's the guy. m2258734a, gotta remember that... Perhaps he forgot his username instead of password?

Here's a VP version.

And here's a directory version of the files, whichever you prefer to use.

[Admiral Nelson]

If anyone would care to create Sirius and Vega, I can put the 'real stars' into the media vps.  All three stars needed are white, anyway.

His Betelgeuse:



His Eltanin (Gamma Draconis):

[Darklord42]

I was hoping that that project would come back to be put in the media vps those stars are awesome!

[Admiral Nelson]

Do you know anyone who likes making stars?   Just two systems are needed to complete FS2, and five more to complete all of FS1, Awakenings, ST:R, Cardinal Spear, Warzone and Aeos Affair.  Basically the fellow was working in descending star size order, so the main sequence stars are not completed.  Fantasy systems are excluded, as they don't have any 'proper' stars in any case.

[M87]

m2258734a, gotta remember that... Perhaps he forgot his username instead of password?

So that's what my username used to be.

Seriously though, I would like to apologize to all of you for my sudden leave without saying a word for over half a year. The last couple of semesters have been rough, and I also had to manage a loss in the family. However, I could have let you guys know what was going on instead of leaving you all in the dark.

Well, I do not like leaving things unfinished. So with that said:

Main Sequence Stars of FS2

RGB Color Values:

Sirius A: 181 199 255

Sirius B: 168 189 255

Vega: 185 201 255

I made Vega oblate on purpose, since it is a known physical property of the star. The equatorial radius is a little more than 20% larger than the polar radius. However, I didn't simulate gravity darkening (the poles should be brighter than the equator). If you all don't think this deviates from canon too much, I can do some experiments in the future and keep you all posted. Also, Vega's immense debris disk, another key feature, shouldn't be a priority in the FS Universe.

I won't be able to login as much as I used to before my unexpected leave, but I will try from time to time to post updates covering the completion of main sequence stars in the FS Universe, as well as any extras requested through PMs. Sorry to have been such a stranger, but the project has been resurrected.

[Darklord42]

Hallelujah!  The proticall sun returneth!
thank you so much, and welcome back.
Sorry to hear about your loss   
But that does complete the FS2 set doesn't it?

[Cobra]

Woo! I can't wait for these to be finished!
